The moms begin to lose trust in Victor and Angel's methods and dance mom Susan worries that Victor's choreography for Jessi's solo is too artistic, causing mother and daughter to squabble. Meanwhile, Victor begins to doubt his mother Mayra's ability to keep the moms in line.

Stars Dance Studio's best dancers Sammy and Jessi are paired with Hannah in a trio, but when rehearsals run long, dance mom Abby breaks the rules and pulls Sammy from practice early. Dance mom Susan is upset and after several heated matches pushes Abby to her boiling point.

With no sign of Abby or Sammy, the moms assume they have quit the Stars dance team for good. But when the pair surprises the group with their return, the other dance moms go on the offensive blaming Abby and Sammy for their lack of team spirit.
