Payton Ackerman

Highlights from the season; Abby Lee Miller hosts.

Abby retrieves the taxidermied remains of her beloved Broadway Baby much to the shock of the Abby Lee Dance Company. Meanwhile, Kelly secretly meets with the Dance Moms to plot her daughters' return. And as Maddie's star continues to fall, Nia's is on the rise.

When Abby is tipped off that they'll be competing against Cathy and her Candy Apples, she creates three new dances designed especially to take them down. The Dance Moms will go face to face against their archenemies, the Candy Apple moms. Meanwhile, Kelly, Brooke and Paige are still AWOL so Abby uses her secret dancing weapon, Payton. As if the big dance battle isn't enough stress, Abby punishes Maddie by taking away her solo.

It's the Season Three finale of Dance Moms and after one of the most tumultuous competition seasons ever, the Abby Lee Dance Company hits New Orleans hoping to retain their championship title at Nationals. While Abby focuses on which dancers will compete, the tension between the moms spills over into the street...literally. Tempers flare before the dancers even hit the stage.
