You know it's nationals when:
-its a dark dance
-mackenzie dies first
-maddie gets a 'solo'
-maddie runs off at the end

[asshunnngami]

U know it’s nationals when Maddie runs off stage and the moms cries afterwards

[laceymanolakis]

maddie’s acting at the end was AMAZING

[mercy]

they were honestly robbed at nationals this gave me chills

[rayannnnn]

Gia deserves more credits, honestly. Her choreography is actually phenomenal!

[catherine]

Anyone else binge watching all the historical dancemoms dances : The last text, amber alert, waiting room, suicide hotline, is there still hope, where have all the children gone etc

[evie]

So the story goes...
TLT:
They get in a car crash. Luckily Nia- a nurse is nearby. She tries CPR on Mackenzie but she doesn't make it. Paige, Brooke, Chloe and Kendall are fatally wounded. They are taken to hospital

Waiting Room:
Maddie is waiting for results on Chloe, Brooke and Paige. Kendall is also badly wounded but wants to spend her last moments with Maddie. She dies at the end of the dance. Nia, the doctor is trying to comfort Kalani- the traumatised mother of Brooke and Paige. In this dance, Mackenzie is a ghost. Jojo is a bystander- she watched it all happen. She feels terrible for the poor family. At the end, Maddie finds out that Chloe, Brooke and Paige died too. She is the sole survivor.

Suicide Hotline:
Kalani is struggling with depression after the loss of her daughters. Her life is a wreck. Kendall, Brynn and Nia are all trying to help her. In the end, it's too late. They lose Kalani too

As unflattering as her costume was, Nia looked gorgeous in this dance! You could tell she was really putting emotion and meaning into it. I love that!

[zoellewellyn]

1:15 who else thought this bit was beautiful? The choreography was stunning

[lizziewins]

Every single girl KILLED this.

Kalani- flexibility and balance
Jojo- technique
Kenzie- overall execution
Nia- acting
Kendall- timing
Maddie- you want a full list?

Maddie's acting at the end tho. Still gives me goosebumps.

[bexysanchez]

THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTON 1ST PLACE NOT SECOND

[amelia-dfxu]

I don't get why this group dance didn't win the nationals

[snazzyzaddy]

The season 5 nationals were rigged. This dance is one of the best they’ve ever done.

[ebehiodua]

You know it's a good dance if Maddie runs away at the end of the dance

[regularcommenter]

For all of you confused, here is a prediction on the roles the girls are playing. This is the continuation of The Last Text (I'll be calling it the TLT) and here are my predictions, hope you all agree btw it really helps if you watch TLT
Nia = The doctor who also performed surgery on Mackenzie on TLT
Kalani= mother of Mackenzie and Kendall (mainly because they don't have much to the story)
Mackenzie = Died instantly at the scene so she is a ghost (also seen on TLT)
Kendall = Passed out on TLT and then got rushed to the hospital but sadly died at the very end of this dance
Jojo = A bystander who saw the accident so that's why at the end she is curled up on the chair trying to forget the bad memories
Maddie = Was in the accident but survived therefore she is crying out for life because she lost ALL her friends

hope you all enjoy and please like this so then people can see

[kannebergj]

1:06 I cry EVERYTIME omg. The music is beautiful and the choreography is flawless:, )

[TheCatOfTruth]

Maddie’s emotional acting at the end always kills me 😔

[xoxociara]

Maddies acting skills gave me chills she continues to amaze me with every dance she performs

[noahpierson]
