The parents discuss how this incident has caused a lot of changes in the team and there is a bad atmosphere. Maraela asks if they want to see a psychic to help get rid of the bad energy from the group. The other DDPs agree to see the psychic.
Back inside the studio, the B-Squad is told that they need to compete this week and win for the A-Squad to compete in the finals of the competition. She chooses Princess to lead the B-Squad. The B-Squad start practice and Princess says she feels nervous about leading the team. Dianna asks Princess to be more aggressive. She maintains the aggression at the start but she loses it by the end.
Dana complains that Faith's dad, Dominic, is texting her a lot and asking for her and Faith to come have dinner with him. Dana and Faith are at the restaurant looking at what food they want to order. Dominic hugs Faith and Dana as he arrives and he asks Faith about school. Dominic talks to the pair about the opportunities that are being presented in Atlanta and he has talked to a few talent agents there. He says they should both consider moving to Atlanta where Faith can pursue a career in acting. Dana is unhappy about this as Faith is in her senior year and she wants her to graduate in Jackson. Dominic says that she could graduate in Atlanta. Dana is resolute in saying no. They decide to change the subject and enjoy the rest of the dinner.

She calls them up to practice their stand for her. Miss D is unimpressed with their performance. Star and Sky are having timing issues and she starts yelling at them when some of the girls start laughing to themselves. Dianna tells Princess that she doesn't care about the success of her team. She tells Princess she needs to be more vocal and that the success of the team depends on her.
Dana has invited Dominic over so they can pick up the conversation from dinner last night. Dana tells him that she does not like being blindsided and that they are meant to work like a team when parenting Faith. He says that he and his brother's careers did not take off in Jackson and that Atlanta moved his career forward. He wants Faith to have the same opportunities as him. Dana says that she did not like the way he went about this topic. Dominic leaves.
