Miss D questions whether the Infamous Dancerettes are allowed to use a marching band and a drill team that is not part of their dance company.

Jay explains to the nine coaches before the competition about the solo preview stage and how the competition will be run. He then allows each of the coaches to pull numbers so they know which order their soloist will perform and which teams they will compete against in the stand battle.

Dianna created this competition for Crystianna and Makya to compete for the captain's position and she has gotten Jay to host.
After the celebrity judge makes disparaging comments towards the Dolls and Miss D, she takes her girls and walks off. The judge critiques the Dolls for their performance being too long and there being too much going on. Miss D tells Jay that their performance was 25 minutes and 41 seconds so they cannot be penalised as they are within the limit.
