Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 31 — “Chaos at Nationals,” where the ALDC FINALLY makes it to nationals after weeks of build-up. But instead of a grand triumph, the season ends with Abby storming out in disappointment.
With the grand opening of the ALDC LA studio happening right before nationals, Abby is distracted, the moms are frustrated, and the girls are left trying to pull together one last group dance before facing BDA. Nia finally gets her nationals solo, Maddie goes up against Ava, and the ALDC performs “The Waiting Room,” a dark contemporary routine Christi and Kelly feel may not have been the nationals moment everyone expected.
But when Ava beats Maddie, BDA beats the ALDC, and the awards start getting messy, Abby decides she has seen enough. Christi and Kelly break down the competition confusion, the bad sportsmanship, the walkout, and why Holly and Jess staying behind may have been the real grown-up moment of the episode.
