This is the next-to-last episode of 'Dancing With the Stars' (Mon., 8PM ET on ABC). It's been a very tight season of the contest, and things are going down to the wire.

[Spoiler alert.]

Each pair of dancers had to do one routine that they had previously messed up during the series. Then, they got a chance to do a freestyle dance of their choosing. In the end, partners Nicole and Derek, and Erin and Maksim were both tied, with 55 points out of a possible top score of 60. Evan and Anna were close behind, with a score of 52 points.

Nicole and Derek soared high with their impressively ambitious freestyle routine, but flubbed it at the end with a minor mistake. Still, the judges were impressed that they even attempted such difficult dance moves. Now, all the partners head to the finals -- and it's still anyone's game.
