After weeks of battling with Abby's Dance Moms, Jill studio hops to Cathy's Candy Apples. But...Abby and her ALDC dance team don't find out about Jill switching studios until they arrive at the competition where they discover that Kendall is going head to head against Nia...who for the very first time made it to the top of Abby's pyramid.
With the cloud of Abby's open auditions looming over the team, everyone is on edge as the Abby Lee Dance Company competes with the Candy Apples for the first time since Nationals.
Cathy's back and ready to beat Abby with a new team of boys. Abby is nervous and pushes her team, especially Chloe and Kendall, who are dancing solos.
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.
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.
