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.

Last competition, Cathy lost to Abby and was forced to kick a traitor out of her studio. This week, she is determined to rebuild her team and the trust she once had.

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 pressure is on for Candy Apple's team and no one's spot is guaranteed. Rick is worried when Jalen is assigned his first contemporary 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.
