00:09Well, it appears that things in the Dancing with the Stars ballroom are healing.
00:13Decider was there to catch this emotional moment after last night's live taping.
00:18Val affectionately held Carrie Ann by the waist,
00:21and she seemed to reciprocate by putting her hands on his shoulders.
00:24The two were locked in the conversation for a while,
00:27even addressing the audience members watching, telling them, quote,
00:31we're co-workers.
00:32The two may have been discussing Val's suspension for his Oscar slap joke aimed at Carrie Ann
00:37that caused him to miss last week's dedication night.
00:40Val was allowed back this week to dance with partner Jenna Dewan for Horror Movie Night,
00:46making some fans uncomfortable with their zombie-inspired dance,
00:50where Val was chomping at Jenna's neck and face.
00:52But before their Argentine tango, Val started off his pre-tape with this apology to Dewan.
00:58I am so sorry for all the chaos.
01:00You did not sign up for that, and I feel awful.
01:03I forgive you.
01:05Oh, I miss you.
01:06But Jenna Dewan did pretty well dancing with Alan Burstyn last week.
01:11Take a look at how her dedication dance went.
01:13It was a big night for Jenna Dewan,
01:15whose Viennese waltz to Unchained Melody paid tribute to her mother.
01:19You may have noticed her pro-partner Val Smirkovsky was not there
01:23due to his one-week suspension for a controversial social media joke he made
01:28aimed at judge Carrie Ann Anaba.
01:30Anaba actually found out about his comments online
01:33and thanked Page Six for bringing it to her attention.
01:37And get this, Jenna Dewan got her first 10 of the season
01:40from, you guessed it, Carrie Ann Anaba.
01:43So how did Val take it?
01:44His sub, Alan Burstyn, wrote on Instagram,
01:47I am so honored to be stepping in and dancing with Jenna Dewan.
01:51You are such a light,
01:52and it's so beautiful to see you and your mom share the floor.
01:55To which Val responded in the comments,
01:58Thank you for stepping in and doing such an amazing job.
02:01Jenna looks so good, and most importantly, happy.
02:04You're my new favorite follow, Winky Face.
02:07So there you have it, crisis over.
