This article originally appeared on PEOPLE.COM. The entire saga was recently dramatized on the big screen inTruth, starringRobert Redfordas Rather. “We reported a true story. Credit: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP We didn’t do it perfectly,” the 84-year-old recently toldThe Hollywood Reporter. “We made some mistakes of getting to the truth. But that didn’t change the truth of what we reported.” The documents were not, however, ever proved to be forgeries. Rather was subsequently removed from the anchor desk before leavingCBS Newsfor good in 2006 after 44 years....

DAN STEVENS: It was very much Idos intention to explore something unexpected. I think its something that James struggles to come to terms with. And it was filmed in a unique, intimate way. Credit: Zachary Galler Then anger bubbles up… so there were times it was appropriate to just let us do our thing. Is that more of a refreshing way to act? Because its so different from having a big set and crew....

This was the week of utter confusion. The episode kicks off with Ashlee being the only mom who shows up on set. All the kids are there but none of the moms. Credit: Lifetime Where are the moms? How did their kids get there? The producers are all on air now, freaking out. Did we know that the kids couldnt be on air without their moms before this episode? Why choose now, after all of the moms and Abbys antics, to freak out?...

The episode begins with the news that Maddie is up for a Peoples Choice Award. Now that Maddie is becoming a big star, will she stay with the ALDC? Lets start with number 1. Credit: Lifetime Jill is very vocal about how she would love to go. What happens next can only be described by using the analogy of Cinderella. Im coming to the ball, too! Her evil step sisters went bananas and ripped her dress to shreds and said, Silly Cinderella!...

My daughters and I found this episode painful to watch. Maddie is the captain of one trio and Brynn is the captain of the other. If Brynns team wins, she will be an official member of the ALDC. Credit: Lifetime Maddie and Brynn pick their teams, leaving Nia out. Why cant Abby give her a solo? Makes sense to me, but not onDance Moms. Did I mention Kira is back?...

This is not Christis first rodeo. As a matter of fact, Jill seems thrilled to have her there. Well … will she? Credit: Lifetime NO!!!! I thought it was just Maddie? My girls and I enjoy watching MacKenzie just as much as we enjoy watching Maddie. She is fun, cute and tells it like it is. My girls have recently become obsessed with following her onMusical.ly. To which, and my girls and I GASPED!...

This was the pinnacle episode! The one we have been waiting for, but mainly dreading! Melissa announces that she is leaving and is taking Maddie and Mackenzie with her both of them! Credit: Lifetime Its worse than we ever imagined. Apparently, Mackenzie had no idea she was leaving and found out during the shooting of this episode. With no kids of her own, losing these two girls seemed to be very painful for her....

This weeks episode was simple. The lessons for my girls, not so much. The moms / the world learn ofAbbys criminal charges. Credit: Lifetime Abby yells at Mackenzie. What did Abby do that was bad? Why would she do that? Why wouldnt she choose just to pay a fine, rather than go to jail? Is she in jail now? Could you go to jail mom? All great questions, but not in the middle ofDance Moms....

This episodes theme is, Who do you feel bad for more? JoJos back-up is Nia, who of course practices out of the way, letting JoJo shine. Teammates dont steal each others solos! Credit: Lifetime Tell your daughter to stop dancing up front! Brynn is not the next Maddie! If your daughter had a brain in her head, she would move out of the way! The final comment she screams at Ashlee and then again to Brynn, reducing her to tears....

Im in big trouble! I wouldnt have called you but Im desperate! At first, this whole scene is a head-scratcher. Credit: Lifetime Who is the mystery person Abby is yelling to? Why is she living in the back room of her dance studio? Given all of this, why are the moms most stricken that shes not wearing a bra? I would totally be braless. The moms dont care. 3: The minis are performing for the first time and Abby is not going to see them!...

This is what I like to call the question episode. Abby Abby is back. Having her back breaks up the monotony of hearing the moms argue. Credit: Lifetime Instead of attacking each other, they begin to attack her. Having her back raises a few questions: How could she be on the show right now? What is the current status of her legal drama? She is going to have them compete and based on how they do, she will make her decision....

Abby is a mess. Still in pajamas, hair in curlers and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Abby loses it and tells everyone to leave her alone. Credit: Lifetime However, Abbys behavior and neglect is not going to fly with the moms. As Holly said, a Dance Mom doesnt sit around and do nothing! We take matters in our own hands! They decide to have a talk with the girls and tell them that Abby doesnt want them there....

She is not into being here! Her choreography is awful! Why is her hair in a towel? Credit: Lifetime She is jealous of Maddie! What is wrong with her? At this point even my kids start yelling at the screen What is wrong with you? Dont you know she may go to jail? I mean, really. Do I really need to explain this? Yet the moms continue on. Maddie is at the bottom of the pyramid, they complain....
