In practice its not.
The ALDC is back in Los Angeles and is coming off a MAJOR loss at nationals versus Jeanettes team.
She tells them that there will be no more outside activities (i.e.

; auditions, other gigs), and that they need to focus on dancing.
A new girl, Brynn, joins the cast, who Abby claims could be Maddies replacement.
I ask my girls what they think of Brynn and without blinking they say, I dont like her.
Because she barged in and her mom is annoying.
This week the ALDC is competing in another dance competition going head to head with Jeanettes team… again.
Abby calls Kendall a hot mess and they quit 18 minutes into the show.
The ALDC group dance is called Boy in the Plastic Bubble.
Jojo is in the bubble while the girls dance around her.
My kids obsess for the next four minutes over the possibility that Jojo could be dead.
Commercial is over, they get Jojo out of bubble.
Melissa (Maddie and Mackenzies mom) says that he will probably get penis points with the judges.
This leads to another cringe worthy moment with my daughters.
My girls think Gavin will beat Brynn.
They say, I dont like Brynn and I dont like her mom.
She called Maddies mom a coward and shes the coward!
The competition is underway.
Abby and Jeanettes teams perform, but not without some drama that almost gets Jeanettes team disqualified almost.
I ask my girls who they think will win and they say, I dont like Brynn.
I just want Maddie back.
Its almost all too much.
In the end Brynn and Abbys team win!
The episode ends with a foreshadowing from a tearful Abby: I feel like I am in shackles.
It comes out of nowhere.
In the end, my girls couldnt stop obsessing over the new girl Brynn and her mom.
They want Maddie back!
They want Kendall to get a solo!
They want her mom to be respectful to all the other moms!
Maybe this show teaches loyalty?
I hope not, because in the end, the three of us still really want to keep watching.
