RuPaul greets the contestants in the Werk Room and reveals the main challenge: to present three outfits in a ball. The categories are Boss Lady in Charge, She-Vil Villain, and International Queen of Mystery. The latter category requires contestants to create an original "seductive spy" look.

While the contestants create their original designs, RuPaul visits the Werk Room for status updates. On the main stage, RuPaul welcomes fellow judges Michelle Visage and Jamal Sims, as well as guest judge Matt Rogers. The contestants present their looks for each category. The judges deliver their critiques to the top and bottom contestants, then excuse the contestants from the main stage during deliberations.

After the contestants return to the main stage, RuPaul announces Pythia as the winner and says Alyssa Edwards is safe. Tessa Testicle and Miranda Lebrão are deemed safe, leaving Athena Likis and Soa de Muse to face off in a lip-sync contest to "Bad Idea Right?" (2023) by Olivia Rodrigo. RuPaul declares Soa de Muse the winner and Athena Likis is eliminated from the competition.
