Brett Loudermilk, Feng E and Double Dragon all found themselves in danger (and therefore eligible for this week’s Dunkin’ Save) at the top of the hour, with host Terry Crews urging viewers to vote during the broadcast. As a stan of both “the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele” and those sweet dancing goddesses, the realization that only one act would make it through was… well, let’s just say things got dark.

As for the rest of tonight’s results, America sent the following acts through to the semifinals: Archie Williams, Shaquira McGrath and Roberta Battaglia. They were joined by this week’s Dunkin’ Save winner, Brett Loudermilk. The judges then completed the evening’s final five by sending Double Dragon through.

That means we’ve seen the last of Pork Chop Revue, Simon and Maria, FrenchieBabyy, Bello and Annaliese Nock, Michael Yo and *sniffle* Feng E.

Wednesday’s results show also brought back two of the biggest names in AGT history for a pair of special performances — magician Matt Franco (Season 9 winner), followed by singer and pianist Kodi Lee (Season 14 winner).
