This week, Jill and Melissa are holding down the fort while Kelly is missing in action — already in Florida and fully in wedding mode for Brooke’s big day!

The moms recap their Valentine’s Day, self-care rituals, and everything in between. Jill shares about getting a much-needed massage and opens up about the emotional process of writing a eulogy for her aunt who recently passed — reflecting on family, love, and honoring someone special.

Melissa brings a little Pennsylvania tradition to the conversation, explaining Fasnachts and Fasnacht Day, what they mean, and how she grew up celebrating. The conversation flows into skincare routines, nail appointments, and how self-care looks these days. Even Melissa’s new puppy Winnie is heading to her very first grooming (spa!) appointment.

And in a fun twist, Jill and Melissa reveal who they would want to sit next to on a 16-hour flight if they had a choice of anyone living or dead.

This week, Melissa, Jill and Kelly are in full wedding prep mode — except there’s just one tiny problem: Kelly still doesn’t have a dress and Brooke’s wedding is NEXT WEEK. Panic levels? High. Alteration options? Questionable.

As the glam plans roll in (nails, hair, makeup schedules — the works), they reveal that Brooke may be the most prepared bride of all time… complete with a full PowerPoint presentation for the bridal party. Yes, really. From timelines to seating charts, she’s running this wedding like a board meeting and we’re honestly impressed.

Meanwhile, the moms are counting down the days until they can escape the freezing weather, binge-watching the Olympic Games, and obsessively tracking Team USA’s medal count. Jill, in particular, has entered her professional commentator era thanks to her full-blown pair skating obsession.

And of course, we get into the Dance Moms tea. A listener asks the big question:

Were Maddie — or any of the kids — actually brats in Season 1 of Dance Moms… or was it all editing?

Plus, Melissa addresses the viral clip where she says she “doesn’t know what it feels like to lose.” Was that real brat energy… or producer manipulation?

Jill, Melissa, and Kelly are back together for a heartfelt catch-up that feels like sitting at the kitchen table with old friends. The episode kicks off with Melissa gushing about her new puppy and sharing how this little bundle of joy has unexpectedly helped her heal in the best way.

As they chat, excitement builds around Brooke’s upcoming wedding. Brooke is already in Florida getting settled, Kelly is deep wedding mode and can’t believe the day is finally here after months of preparation, and Jill is counting down the days until everyone’s together. Paige, meanwhile, is living her best life in Milan for the Olympics, which sparks a bigger conversation about how surreal and grateful they all feel for the opportunities that came their way because of Dance Moms.

Kelly shares some behind-the-scenes wedding details—including the shocking moment she found out Brooke’s venue required outdoor bathrooms… with a $15,000 price tag 😳—and what it’s like opening up her Florida home to family and friends for such a special weekend.

The conversation turns reflective as the women look back on the Dance Moms years: juggling intense schedules and somehow holding their families together through chaos, pressure, and cameras. How did they manage it all?
