"Who would've ever thought?!? I never thought," she said. "Did you guys ever think? I didn't!"
Chloe shared that she initially thought the series was ending for good after finding out that the girls were off to the east coast for their last Nationals.
"I left so abruptly. I never had proper closure that I felt like 'Wow, if I don't get proper closure now, if I don't get a final goodbye now, then when am I ever going to have that moment?!?' So I talked to my mom and I was like 'I think I want to go back,'" the teen dancer revealed.
In a separate interview with PEOPLE, the Lukasiaks also opened up about Miller and the controversies she is currently dealing with.
Christi mentioned that the former instructor has been the source of drama in the show since day one. In addition, she pointed out that Miller's "strong personality" made it harder to confront her about her mistakes.
This week's season 7B premiere showed Miller before her departure later in the season. She prepared her students for their weekly competition. Additionally, the elite team centered their latest number on Brynn Rumfallo's current court battle involving her family. Together, they dealt with the issue through an emotionally-charged performance.
The seventh season of "Dance Moms" airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m. EDT on Lifetime.
