Mary-Anne is critiqued next, being told that they love her personality but her look was subpar compared to the rest of the girls, being read for a good idea but bad execution. Christina Moment is the next queen critiqued.

Zara is critiqued, being told that she was the most innovative of the queens and that her look was extremely well crafted and conceptual. Rosy O'Hara is the next queen to be critiqued and gets read for being basic with her look, calling her look an "off the rack dress". Nicki LeFreak is praised for look and being different and representing Scorpio really well but is read for the pieces also not going together and is told to improve on it.

Meanwhile in Untucked, the safe queens are relieved that they survived the first elimination. Goldie, Lavender and Olyvia are worried for Christina and Mary while the rest of the queens talked about the other looks and who would win and who would lip-sync. Majority of the girls thought that Zara was the winner but Goldie interjects saying that Zara isn't polished enough for the show and that her drag doesn't scream "superstar" to her. The top and bottom queens enter Untucked and catch the safe queens up on critiques. Sweetie and Ciara are super excited when they heard that Patricia, Zara and Nicki were the top while Rosy feels embarrassed for bombing on the first episode.

Back on the Mainstage, Zara the Creeper is announced the winner of the main challenge, and Nicki LeFreak, Patricia Love and Christina Moment are declared safe, leaving Mary-Anne Way and Rosy O'Hara to lip-sync to "Hotter Than Hell" by the episode's guest judge; Dua Lipa. As the lip-sync begins, Rosy strips down to a baby blue bodysuit covered in rhinestones and begins pulling out dancemoves and turning it while Mary-Anne takes a more comedic approach, starting slow and making moves that were a parody of being sexy. Once the lip-sync finishes, Rosy is declared the winner and Mary-Anne Way sashays away as the first queen eliminated.
