Dance Moms Season 7 Episode 22 Recap: The End of the ALDC?

Abby Lee Miller was out of the ALDC for a few episodes, but she wanted to make it clear on Dance Moms Season 7 Episode 22 that she was still the boss, so everyone should bow before her. 

Well, she didn’t say it in those exact words, but we got the message loud and clear. Everyone was still mad at her for disappearing without so much as an explanation. 

Rightfully so, she left everyone who looked up to her in the lurch and squandered the last bit of respect anyone at the ALDC still had for her. 

Chloe was still wanting to stick with MDP because of the opportunities that were being given to her, and could anyone really blame her? If she’s being given featured roles, then why wouldn’t she want to move on from the ALDC?

At the Devotion 2 Dance Competition, Abby tried to play the victim as the moms wondered what was going to happen to the people who did not show up to dance. 

She tried to imply that she was happy to have no arguments with anyone, but it was clear she was at least a little worried about what would become of her dance studio.

She was probably worried about what she was going to be eating in prison so that probably explains why she was shoveling junk food into her mouth. 

Yolanda, Stacey, and Jaime wanted Abby to think of the bigger picture and felt like it would be a good move for Abby to build a new team to oust the others for good. 

The older girls made their way to the competition, but they were not there to dance. They were there to sell T-shirts and be with their fans, oh and they wanted to confront Abby. 

All of the tension got to Maesi who felt unwell because of everything that was going on, but Jaime wanted her on top form to prove there was still life left in the ALDC. 

But things got tense in the audience when Abby noticed Christi was there and decided to leave. The moms successfully talked her into standing at the back so the kids could see the teacher. 

Brynn and Ashlee cornered Abby and asked her to return to the ALDC. Abby relented and revealed she loved Brynn and would love nothing more than for her to return. 

At the awards, Lilli won the overall award, but MDP eked out the group victory, and that was because Chloe was with them, but Chloe wanted to dance with her former girls. 

Meanwhile, Holly, Jill, and Kira officially said goodbye to the ALDC because they felt like Abby was the one who caused all the damage and that she did not want to repair any of relationships she destroyed. 

Abby noted that she “feels like a whore” because of the amount of money she spent on the studio to help the girls become the people everyone thought they could be. 

Abby tried to say that she had some regrets, but they did not care about it. They were done and had their new dance squad to deal with, and that was that. 

What did you think of all the action?

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 30 Recap: The End of the ALDC?

The fate of the ALDC has been uncertain ever since it was revealed that Abby Lee Miller was in a lot of trouble with the law over Tax fraud. 

On Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 30, the mothers made it clear they wanted some answers about the fate of the ALDC, but answers were few and far between. 

We all know that Abby was seeking extensions in her case, but the mothers took issue with that hitting the news and them still being left in the dark.

Abby decided to lock herself inside her office rather than face up to what’s going on in her life. Oh, and she doesn’t give a crap what happens to the moms. 

“These mothers have no clue. I was not put on this Earth to be at their beck and call,” Abby says.

Gianna was quick to step in while Abby hid away in her office. At least she took a proactive approach to all of it. I mean, if not for her, no one would know what the heck they were doing. 

The Junior elites were tasked with doing a contemporary piece titled, “Picnic in the Park.” Meanwhile, the Minis were tasked with jazzing it up to “Gossip Girls.”

Brynn got word that she was getting a huge solo to perform, but she felt there was a lot of pressure on her to pull it off.

The Junior Elites took issue with their piece because it didn’t feel like something you would perform in a competition. 

Stacey heard that there was a possibility of doing a solo and was unsure what to dress her in, so she visited the Beast of the East in her office and got some harsh words thrown her way. 

Abby took the solo away from Stacey’s daughter, but Stacey revealed she was leaving the ALDC, throwing the whole performance into question. 

The next day, Abby decided to actually do some work, but she made it clear she would not be discussing her legal issues. 

“From now on, there’ll be no discussion about the case or me or my roles or anything. I will have my attorney contact whoever they need to contact,” Abby explains.

Abby got a shocking phone call from Debbie, who appeared earlier in the season. Debbie wanted to know what the heck was going on with Abby potentially leaving the team. 

After all of the drama, Abby took the Elite Team for a picnic in the park, but the mothers got annoyed because it was taking them away from valuable rehearsal time. 

Either way you look at it, Abby just can’t win. She knows she’s not been the best guide and that’s why she’s trying to change things. 

Ashlee cut to the chase about the Debbie conversation and asked if Abby would allow Debbie to take over. Abby said this was a possibility if Debbie paid her $ 1.5 million. 

That’s a lot of money.

Abby then broke down, while discussing the fact that she’s never sat down to enjoy her success and now it’s being taken away from her. 

Liliana’s solo performance had some issues, but for the most part, it was well-executed. It’s just a shame that with some more practice, it could have been perfect. 

Brynn’s solo went down a treat with everyone. You could tell she knew what she was doing and that relieved Ashlee. 

In the group competition, the Minis came in first place and scooped awards. The moms were not surprised that the Junior Elites had to settle for second place because Abby did not work with them.

As you can probably expect, the mothers stormed off.
