* Abby abruptly pulling the girls from the Matty B music video due to a dispute over the contract and the moms. All of the girls are upset about this, and [[NiceGirl the usually optimistic Maddie]] delivers this heart-breaking line:
--> '''Maddie:''' Thanks for ruining the entire day, Mom.

* Holly breaking down in sobs after going on a [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness unusual]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech rant targeting Abby and the rest of the moms for not defending her.]] The worst part is that poor Nia overheard everything and couldn't do anything except look on sadly.
** Season 5 in general represented a breaking point in Holly's patience. It's hard not to feel bad for her, considering how long she was able to tolerate Abby's behavior for.

* Melissa, along with Maddie and Mackenzie announce they are leaving the ALDC for pasteurs anew. Abby, unsurprisingly breaks down in tears. As Ashlee puts it, seeing Maddie leave is the equivalent of a mother losing her child, in the eyes of Abby.
** From that point onwards, Abby starts treating the Ziegler’s coldly, and at their final competition, Abby was being unpleasant and was critiquing Maddie and Mackenzie, when it wasn’t needed. It’s definitely hard to watch, especially when considering the relationship that Maddie and Abby had.

* At the start of "Two Teams, Two Studios", we see Abby finding out that her elite competition team has jumped ship to allow Erin Babbs of Murietta Dance Project to choreograph for them. Abby is in tears, and it’s very hard not to sympathise for her, especially the fact that she was a second mother to most of the girls.

* In the second episode of Season 7B, Abby had to leave because of her sentencing (even though it was continuously postponed). She decided to say a final goodbye to her girls. It was very emotional to watch, even though she came back, for one week.
* As much as one would strongly dislike Abby, what she had been though from mid season 4 up to 7, one wonders how she was able to hold on, from girls she knew from when they were at a young angle leaving, lawsuits, her mother dying, and her court case. Even though she handled everything badly, which then resulted to the girls she cared about cutting ties with her. To say that Abby has been on an emotional rollercoaster is an understatement.
