ASHBURN, VIRGINIA: 'Dance Moms: A New Era' dancer Isabella 'Smiley' Plotczyk faced Studio Bleu's coach Gloria Hampton's fury as she lacked perfection in her dance moves ahead of nationals. Coach Glo had made it clear that she wanted to win the competition and she would not tolerate any blunder.

However, Smiley was having trouble in learning moves which received backlash from coach Glo. The choreographer also threatened Smiley to eliminate her from the finalist group. During the episode, Coach Glo noted, "This is going to be the first time that the dance world is going to see this group and I'm really scared."

Coach Glo yelled at Smiley after watching her struggling during rehearsals and said, "Get it together or we're not doing it..." adding, "I know what you are capable of but if you are not pulling your weight you won't be dancing this week." Coach Glo's anger left Smiley in tears and she reached her breaking point.

Although Coach Glo was visibly frustrated by Smiley's mistakes, her mother Domenica Plotczyk announced that her daughter would not back off. Domenica admitted in the confessional, "Over my dead body is my kid going to beat cup."
