Episode
[edit]For the episode's mini-challenge, the contestant "read" (playfully insult) each other. Loosey LaDuca wins the mini-challenge.
For the main challenge, the contestants, in three teams, design and create outfits from materials inspired by three of the show's judges: Team "House of Visage" (Amethyst, Aura Mayari, Luxx Noir London, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, and Spice), Team "House of Kressley" (Anetra, Jax, Robin Fierce, and Salina EsTitties), and Team "House of Mathews" (Loosey LaDuca, Malaysia Babydoll Foxx, Marcia Marcia Marcia, and Sasha Colby).
On the runway, the category is "Drag Race Fashion Week". In addition to RuPaul and Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews is a judge and Janelle Monáe is a guest judge. Luxx Noir London, Malaysia Babydoll Foxx, Robin Fierce, and Sasha Colby receive positive critiques, and Luxx Noir London wins the challenge. Amethyst, Jax, and Salina EsTitties receive negative critiques, and Jax is declared safe. Amethyst and Salina EsTitties place in the bottom two and face off in a lip-sync to "Q.U.E.E.N." (2013) by Monáe featuring Erykah Badu. Amethyst is eliminated from the competition.
