The nine remaining couples embraced the dark side: ⁠Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy delivered a razor‑sharp tango to Billie Eilish’s “Bury a Friend,” earning a near‑perfect 39/40. Robert Irwin and Witney Carson transformed into ghost‑ly maestros for their Argentine tango to “Sweet Dreams,” securing their highest score of the season. Meanwhile Dylan Efron powered through a broken nose to perform a Viennese waltz to “Can’t Help Falling in Love (Dark),” and Jen Affleck and pro Jan Ravnik gave a bold contemporary to Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do,” yet were shockingly eliminated. And it wasn’t just the dances that turned heads: guest judge Cheryl Burke returned to the panel, drama unfolded when Elaine Hendrix had to be carried out on a stretcher after a rehearsal injury (but was cleared to stay in the competition), and the “Dance Monster‑thon” bonus round added extra points — with Alix & Val and Whitney & Mark battling for supremacy (Whitney & Mark Ballas emerged victorious).
