On Monday's episode, a video of Elaine sending a message from her hospital bed was played.

"Halloween is my favorite, and I’m devastated," she wrote on Instagram sharing the video. “I was beyond excited to share what we had worked so hard on, although you’ll see a version of it. With your support, I’ll be back in the ballroom next week. I want nothing more.”
