The America’s Got Talent audition round has continued with the final episode, the stakes are higher than ever with no gold buzzers left, and it’s highly likely that AGT won’t break the rules to make show history twice in one season. Lots of action was left out, and even a couple of cute dancing kids didn’t seem necessarily safe when they first took the stage and revealed that there was some kind of awkward history between their family and Judge Howie Mandel. Luckily for them, their energetic dance was enough to set Mandel up for an apology!

Michael Novikova, 8, and his 6-year-old sister, Angelina, took to the AGT stage to dance to Fleur East’s “Sax,” but not before sensationalizing Howie Mandel that he had already judged Novikova’s family act, as their older brother brought them together efforts with their mom for a dance number six years ago. At the time, Mandel was quite blunt, hitting their brother’s buzzer and throwing some sharp comments at him, and their mom clearly held a grudge. Take a look at Mandel facing the family he offended, as well as the dance number itself!
