It was an Efron family affair onDancing With the Stars' Prince Night.
The Nov. 18 episode of the ballroom dancing competition series saw the remaining six couples compete for a spot in next week's finale. Among the contenders isDylan Efron, the content creator and younger brother toHigh School MusicalandThe Iron ClawstarZac Efron.
Though Dylan has mentioned his big bro at several points in videos from rehearsal and while breaking down his dances with cohost Julianne Hough in the skybox, Zac's yet to foxtrot on down to the ballroom and support him as their baby sister Olivia has.
Not until tonight.
Each of the six semifinalists had to perform two numbers on Prince Night, and Dylan kicked off his set with a tango to the high priest of pop's 1984 hit "I Would Die 4 U." Just after he and partner Daniella Karagach stuck the landing on their final step, the camera cut to Efron's little corner of the audience, which has regularly contained his sister and parents, Starla Baskett and David Efron. This time, Zac could be seen smiling while bouncing Olivia on his lap.
In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment that had avidDWTSviewers cracking up online, Zac could be seen leaning over to Baskett after Dylan received a 27, appearing to ask if his brother had received good scores.
Baskett laughed and nodded her head, amused by Zac's innocent question.

Though that wall of 9s landed him in the bottom of the episode's first round of scores alongside actress Elaine Hendrix and Olympian Jordan Chiles, he did himself a point better with a subsequent cha-cha to the 1986 Prince track "Kiss."
Zac was shown enthusiastically clapping for his brother's improved score as he continued to cradle Olivia.
I love a supportive brother and sister! 💛#dwts@ZacEfronpic.twitter.com/HOLbATR89W
