"How Do You Like Them Apples?" is the eighteenth episode of season two of Dance Moms. It first aired July 10, 2012.

Synopsis

Abby and the girls are out for revenge when they go up against Cathy and her Candy Apples for the first time in the new competition season. In order to beat Abby, Cathy hires two professional choreographers to help with the week's dances and since Cathy uses older girls in her group dances, Abby brings in three older girls to dance in the group dance in order to level the playing field.

Meanwhile, after it was pulled twice, Paige finally gets a chance to perform her "Tongue Twister" solo, but Kelly thinks that the level of difficulty isn't high enough and secretly re-choreographs the dance. In addition, Jill worries that Cathy has lost interest in Kendall and begins to regret her decision of transferring Kendall to Candy Apple's Dance Center.
