For the mini challenge, the queens play a game called "Slap Out of It," where they antagnozie and fake slap one another. Brooke Lynn Hytes is deemed to have the best reactions to being slapped and is declared the winner. Immediately after the mini challenge, RuPaul brings back to the workroom six queens that were eliminated earlier in the competition -- Shuga Cain, Plastique Tiara, Scarlet Envy, Ariel Versace, Honey Davenport, and Soju. RuPaul then describes the main challenge, where each of the remaining queens has to use her own drag aesthetic to makeover one of the eliminated queens as a member of her drag house. The eliminated queens have to wear large pink gloves during the makeover so they are prevented from doing their own makeup. RuPaul also explains that the eliminated queens would not be returning to the competition and that they are only present for this challenge. Since Brooke Lynn won the mini challenge, she wins the right to pair the remaining and eliminated queens. She chooses Plastique for herself, then pairs Shuga with Nina West, Honey with A'Keria C. Davenport, Scarlet with Yvie Oddly, Soju with Silky Nutmeg Ganache (much to the latter's dismay), and Ariel with Vanessa Vanjie Mateo.

On the main stage, A'Keria C. Davenport, Brooke Lynn Hytes, and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo receive positive comments for their respective makeovers, while Nina West, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, and Yvie Oddly receive negative critiques. After the judges' critiques, RuPaul asks all of the queens (both the remaining and eliminated queens) which of the remaining queens deserves to go home and why. Seven of the queens say Silky should go home, while the other five say Yvie should. Despite everyone expecting Vanessa Vanjie Mateo to win the challenge, Brooke Lynn Hytes is declared the winner of the challenge instead. Nina West and Silky Nutmeg Ganache are declared the bottom two, and the pair lip syncs to "No Scrubs" by TLC. After an underwhelming battle, Silky is declared the winner of the lip sync and Nina is sent home.

The queens each record their verses with Todrick Hall and are later choreographed by him.

On the main stage, the queens present their 'Best Drag'. Ru then gets the queens to give advice to (pictures of) their younger selves. The judges then proceed to critique them on their performances. While most of the queens receive mainly positive critiques for both their runways and performances, particularly Yvie Oddly, both Vanessa Vanjie Mateo and Brooke Lynn Hytes receive negative critiques from the judges. Vanessa is criticized for a disconnect in her performance, which was considered the weakest in the group, and a relatively basic runway look, while Brooke Lynn is panned for lacking 'edge' and passion in the video recording, as well as having the weakest runway look out of everyone, which the judges question as being her 'Best Drag'. Ru announces that A'Keria C. Davenport, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, and Yvie Oddly all progress on to the finale and places Brooke Lynn Hytes and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo in the bottom two.
