Tuesday's Dance Moms Season 4 Episode 32 unofficially marked the end of an era, and the relocation of Abby Lee Miller and her Dance Company to L.A.
Oh yes. Like Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, the signs were there from the onset, but Abby officially turned to the Dark Side last night.
This isn't to say that L.A. is a morally bankrupt place by definition, but that Abby has bought into her own hype, and her ego has swollen beyond repair.
The City of Angels was just a fitting place to complete the transition.
As we saw in the first half of the season finale last week, Dance Moms Season 4 Episode 32 saw Abby grow more and more invested in her own image.
Dance instructing? Being a leader? Setting a positive example?
Who needs it when there's PR and buzz to generate. Besides, the ALDC obviously bested Cathy's Candy Apple's Dance Center anyway. SERVED!
Los Angeles is already a place with moderate to high earthquake risk, but the metropolis hasn't seen a thing until Abby Lee Miller moves there.
When she starts throwing her weight around? Grab a hat, and hold the f--k onto it, because the first four seasons will likely seem tame by comparison.
Even the moms can see that she's blinded by her own ego.
"The dance is a mess. Abby has not invested the time that she needed to into this dance," one of them notes. "You haven't been here all week."
"Sorry, you've checked out, Abby ... we all know it."
The battle against Cathy and her studio doesn't make Miller look any better, especially when the former uses Sia's "Chandelier" for her kids' group number.
According to Cathy, Sia can't stand Abby, even though Maddie Ziegler appears in the video for the song, and allowed the Apples to use it for that reason.
Speaking of which, Abby tries to get Maddie to do a solo to "Chandelier" and throw it back in Cathy's face, but Maddie won't do it. Abby is displeased.
Maddie, meanwhile, brushes it off with maturity.
Then, in a move that would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic and sad, dance mom Brigette shows up on behalf of Candy Apples during ALDC's rehearsal.
What does she do? Blast the song to try to get in their heads. Maddie, who we'd like to note at 12 years old, is not fazed by this either. We love her for that.
All of this makes it hard to root for the underdog in the case of Cathy, even though we'd like to see Abby lose. Would a Cathy win be at all superior?
Probably not. And while it makes for a fun train wreck you can't look away from when you watch Dance Moms online, it's also more than a little unsettling.
Especially since next year, she'll be even worse.
Yes, even worse than this beast:
Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms goes at it with Kelly Hyland in this clip from Season 4 Episode 7.
