RuPaul: Previously
on RuPaul's Drag
Race...disclaimer first

We are throwing
a fashion ball, darling.

[cheering]

-Brita.
-Is it corn? Is it a pineapple?

It's a pineapple.

You did not execute your vision.

Rock M. Sakura.

More, more, more
is not right.

You do need to edit.

Gigi Goode.

This look? Perfection.

-Thank you so much.
-Con-drag-ulations.

You're the winner
of this week's challenge.

Brita, shantay you stay.

Rock M., sashay away.

[Rock M's sobs echo]

Girl.
We're back in the werkroom.

I just survived a lip sync,

and I have so many emotions.

I just hear Rock M.'s crying

and how badly she wanted this,

while other people
did the bare minimum

and skated by again.

"To all of my special queens.

"Make sure you do
what I couldn't do.

"Love yourself
and respect yourself.

"Rock M. Sakura.

Love you all truly."

-We love you, Rock M.
-Love you, Rock M.

When Rock turned the corner
and we could hear her crying,

my heart broke.

Mine, too, girl.

I went into that werkroom
for Untucked

thinking that I was, like, safe.

Honey, that shook me up.

My mind has changed.

I'm, like, putting it
into full fucking gear

because I'm Brita, bitch.

In New York,
I am always at the top

because I work so hard.

And that's what makes it so hard
to be in the bottom.

I also think
I don't belong in the bottom.

Oh, I gotta get
these tears out of my eyes

because we do have to celebrate
Miss Gigi Goode.

-Congrats, Gigi.
-Congrats, Gigi.

I'm very, very happy
that I won the challenge

that I wanted to win the most.

Yeah, and you deserve it.

You're such an amazing designer.

Nicky, how are you feeling
about your critiques?

I feel happy
because being praised

for what I created
boosts my ego

and now I can allow myself

to be even more
outside of my comfort zone

and just more goofy and--

You totally have
that goofy side to you.

I've seen it already.

You don't see it yet.

Next week, I'm gonna walk
that runway as Quasimodo.

[all laugh]

Week after week, I just feel

more and more...weakened.

I see them
seeing something in Aiden.

They're, like,
you're so special.

How can they see something
in her like that

and because I look polished,
I just don't have it.

Aiden, how are you feeling
right now?

I mean,
I know up until tonight,

like, I haven't had anything

to go off of yet until tonight.

Really, honestly,
do you think

that you'll probably
be in the bottom?

Just solely
based off, like, the looks?

They liked the look.
They wanted more.

I wanted a very
Bettie Page-esque look,

and I didn't want
to just start stacking shit on

just for the hell of it.

You cannot afford
to make excuses for yourself

to not do the best or better
than you know you can do.

I didn't just sit back
and think, all right.

I'm done, guys.
Who gives a shit? No.

Sis, you taking naps while
all of us are working hard.

She literally just put balls
on a corset.

The one thing
that they keep telling me

is I do have
that uniqueness about me,

and I just need
to bring that to the table.

So...yeah.

A lot of these girls thought

that I probably should
have been in the bottom two

for the ball challenge,
but I wasn't.

Brita should have been safe.

And you're saying Aiden
should have went home?

-Yes.
-But I see a fire in her.

-I feel like, she might be--
-You see a candle.

-Ooh!
-Ooh!

We are all
in this competition together,

and we are all competing
for the same fucking crown.

So I don't care
what your background is

or what reputation you have.

If the judges aren't seeing what
they wanna see from you, then...

Bitch, bye.

RuPaul: The winner
of RuPaul's Drag Race

receives a one-year supply

of Anastasia Beverly Hills
cosmetics

and a cash prize of $100.000.

With extra-special
guest judge Normani.

♪ RuPaul's Drag Race ♪

♪ May the best woman ♪

♪ Best woman win ♪

-Good morning.
-Rrrrrrr.

Team Missouri's in the house!

I woke up, I'm breathing.

That means it must be a new day
in the werkroom.

[laughs]

Week five with no men.
How we all feeling?

[all laugh]

Which one of us
is the trade besides me?

[all laugh]

I have deemed myself
trade of the season,

because I am sexiest one
in the room

here and everywhere.

I think Jan would be trade
if she had her boy brows.

-Ooh!
-Ooh!

Those are her boy brows!

[alarm]

RuPaul: Ooh, girl!

She done already
done had herses.

-My queens.
-Hey.

How's your head--ache?

-Feeling a little sickening?
-[coughs]

Well, get ready to walk into
this competition nurse-first.

[cheers and applause]

Hello, hello, hello!

[cheering]

Doctor, doctor!

Ladies, I've been going over
your charts.

I've got some good news
and some bad news.

The bad news is
your pussies are on fire.

The good news is
there is no cure.

For this week's maxi-challenge,
you need to overact

in the longest-running
drag queen scripted show on TV,

a little medical drama
we're calling Gay's Anatomy.

[cheering]

I am so excited.

It's an acting challenge.

I'm feeling confident.

I'm ready to show them

everything that I learned
getting my BFA.

The script is filled
with juicy roles,

from beloved Dr. Meredith Gay
to chief of staff Rhonda Shimes,

to the patients, whose very
lives hang in the balance.

The hardest part

will be deciding which role
to assign to which queen.

If only there were a pill
for that!

Oh, wait a minute.

♪ Oh, Pit Crew ♪

-Ooh!
-Oh!

Doctor, doctor!

Somebody check my temperature.

Nurse!

Nine of these 11 bottles
contain a silver pill,

a placebo with no power.

But two bottles
contain a pink pill.

The two queens
that choose a pink pill

will be in charge
of casting all the roles.

Oh, my God.

Pit Crew, your patients await.

And ladies,
I'm sorry to inform you

there will be no anal options.

-Oh!
-Aw!

Perfect.

-Breathe out.
-[exhales]

[all laugh]

All right, ladies,
you may open your bottles.

These bottles are childproof,

which may prove difficult
for some of you.

[gasps]

Oh, Nicky and Gigi.

Gigi!

Nicky Doll and Gigi Goode,
you got the pink pills.

That means
you are in charge of casting.

All right.

Choose wisely, girls.
[tongue pop]

Gentlemen,
start your ambulances,

and may the best woman win.

"I'm Dr. Meredith Gay,

world famous for my surgical
skills and my bad taste in men."

Before any of the roles
are actually assigned,

as a group, we all
look through the script

to find out who we are thinking
we might like to play.

Okay, we all feel like we kind
of have an idea what we want?

I want Dr. Meredith Gay.

I think I wanna do
Dr. Meredith Gay number two.

So there's two of you bitches.

I don't understand why Jan
wants to be Meredith number two.

Part of the comedy
of the challenge

is for the two Merediths
to look very different.

But whatever.

The sequels are never good
as the original.

I like Dr. Sandra Okurr.

I'm thinking Mimi.

Mimi?

I would love to play
Dr. Mother Gay.subtitle

I would like
to play Mother, too.

While you untuck backstage,

Nicky and I will--

-Deliberate.
-Go over and deliberate.

-By-ee.
-Have fun.

Nicky and Gigi,
they're sweet spirits.

I don't think they're
gonna sabotage a bitch,

but you never know.

The sweet ones are the ones
you gotta look out for.

Dr. Tizzy Stebens
will be moi.

What do you wanna play?

I think Baby is really iconic,

but doesn't have a lot of lines.

But wouldn't it be cool
if you were able to get the baby

with the smallest amount
of lines and, like, kill it?

Who did Widow wanna play?

Mother.

I think it should be Sherry.

Do you feel comfortable

giving a role to Widow
that she didn't pick?

Well, I don't
wanna be that girl.

Well, one of us will have to be.

[laughs]

Henny, who wanted it?

Nobody picked her.
Aiden wanted Mimi Dearest.

Aiden doesn't really strike me

as somebody
who's going to stand out.

Because there's a ghost,
and due to Aiden's personality,

I think
that could be a good idea.

I agree.

All right, so are we ready
to drop the bomb?

-[laughs]
-All right.

All right.

Ladies, we have made
some decisions.

Dr. Meredith Gay one
is Jackie.

Yay!

Dr. Meredith Gay two is Jan.

Dr. Sandra Okurr will be Brita.

Yes!

Then Henny
will be played by Aiden.

Okay.

Are you happy with it?

Um, I guess I'm gonna
have to be, aren't I?

When we were deciding,
we were, like,

I think she could do good
as, like, a ghost.

No, I mean, like,
that's literally not a read.

"Like, she's a bombshell
with a liberal code

"when it comes to sex
and relationships.

She's the Mae West type."

Aiden, like,
you know Mae West, right?

Probably not like you guys,
but, yeah.

How do you not know
who Mae West is?

Call my lawyer.

For Dr. Mother Gay,
we have Miss Sherry.

Mm.

Then Mimi Dearest will be Widow.

I will be Baby Dearest,
so we will be the family.

[sighs]

These fucking bitches.

Does anybody have, like,
any qualms or issues

or anything with their role?

How are you feeling
about Mimi Dearest, Widow?

Because you don't seem
to be super happy.

Well, just like Aiden say,
we don't really have a choice.

Let's do it.

I didn't get the role I wanted,
either,

but at the end of the day,

you just have to suck it up
and make it work.

Would she rather Henny?

No, I can do Mimi.
It's fine.

Would you rather be Henny
or Mimi?

-I mean, I was--
-I can do Mimi. It's fine.

-All right.
-Everybody good?

Get to highlighting
and memorizing.

Memorize your lines.

Child, I feel like this
is about to be a shit show.

I'm excited to see you
as a ghost.

Boo!break

This week's maxi-challenge

is to over-act
in a medical drama called...

[gasps] Gay's Anatomy.

Good times.

The last acting challenge
was improv,

and I did very well in.

And I'm feeling hungry
for a win.

We should figure out what lines
we're gonna say to each other.

Because even if it's an improv,
it would be nice, like,

we know what trajectory
we're taking.

But that didn't work
the last time we did improv.

Hmm?

That didn't work
last time we did improv.

Jack said--oh--

And this is our friend
Squirrelly.

That's what I'm saying.
So we should rehearse the line

that we're gonna say
during the argument.

Then we can deliver something

that it's still planted
in our head.

All right.

All right.

I definitely regret
picking Widow

for the role of Mimi Dearest,
because without realizing it,

I've put myself
in the exact same position

of the improv challenge.

But I didn't know that she would
be moody, that's the thing.

She's so unpredictable,

you never know
what you're gonna get.

-You bitch!
-Ladies!

Listen, I don't see why
we can't all work something out.

Boo.

Aiden was probably the weakest
link in the improv challenge,

and this time, all of
Aiden's scenes are with me.

Since we were both in the bottom
last week,

that we really
just gotta bring it.

We got something to prove.

That's right. No, definitely.

I don't wanna babysit Aiden,

but, like, is she gonna
rise to the occasion?

Is she gonna come out
of her shell with this role?

I don't know.

Hey, squirrel friends!

-Hi!
-Hello!

Is there a doctor in the house?

All the time.

Well, hello, thespians.

-Hi!
-Hello!

Look at that El Debarge hairdo.

That is the most beautiful
hairdo

I've ever seen
in my entire life.

Thank you so much.

[all laugh]

Jackie Cox, you have an acting
background, is that right?

I do, and a little bit
of a medical background.

My mom's dream for me
was to be a doctor,

like every Persian mother.

So in high school,
she got me a job

collecting the stool samples
of patients to bring to her lab.

How sweet of her.

Are you playing a doctor?

I'm the Dr. Meredith Gay.

This is your opportunity
to make your mother very proud.

Now, Brita.

-You Brita werk!
-Uh-huh.

And you've got
something to prove, too,

because yo ass was in the bottom
last week.

Yeah, I sure was.

Yeah, so how you gonna
infuse "you Brita werk"

into this challenge?

I'm really excited.

I come from
a theater background,

so I'm excited to put, like,
different affectations

with my voice
and to see what really lands,

to, like, make it work.
Brita werk.

Have fun with it.

Because if you're
having fun with this,

we, the audience,
will have fun with it.

-Aiden.
-Oh.

Here we are. Oh...

-Well, hello.
-Well, hello.

They cast you as a ghost.

Is that a little subtle shade?

It might be.

So if I were to ask your parents

was Aiden
a shy little boy always?

They would tell you no.

-They would say no.
-They would say no.

Okay.

This competition
has been very weird for me.

I'm totally, like,
out of my element.

I've never heard that before.

[all laugh]
That is so--

This is out of your element?

Well, I'm saying
compared to, you know,

some of the girls who come
from very, like, big cities,

and very used to, you know,

being around a lot of girls
all the time, and--

No, they're not.
No, this is a unique situation.

I bet all of you would
probably say the same thing.

-Am I correct?
-Child, down.

Yeah. I don't know
what you're afraid of,

but just go two steps further.

Just come out of that shell.

-Oh!
-Yeah!

You cannot constantly,
every challenge,

say, well, I'm not from
a big city like the other girls.

I'm not from a big city.

You have to at some point
step up to the plate,

because this is not
RuPaul's Excuse Race.

Hi, ladies.

-Why, hello!
-Hi!

Nicky and Gigi, did you
take in consideration

what the girls were good at,
or did you wanna sabotage them?

I feel like we didn't try
to sabotage anyone.

We heard everyone's wishes,

and then we tried
to accommodate everyone.

I mean, some girls got roles
that they didn't initially want.

Which girls were upset
by the roles they got?

Well, I can kind of see
that Widow was a little upset

she didn't get the character
that she wanted.

You wanted to play Blac Chyna,
is that right?

[all laugh]

So you were not happy
with your role?

I mean, I wanted to play
something a little more serious.

-This is a serious role?
-For me, it is.

You wanted to play something
a little more serious

on RuPaul's Drag Race.

[all laugh]
What role did you have in mind?

I wanted to play Mother.

What role do you have?

-Mimi Dearest.
-Okay.

I just kind of feel
that that's just--

playing Mimi Dearest is a role

that I seem
to kind of fall into.

Like, I picked the drunk role
the last time

when we did an acting challenge.

It seems like
I'm playing another,

like, almost similar role.

Yeah, well, you can interpret
the role however you want.

So now, Nicky Doll,
in the improv challenge,

you wound up in the bottom.

Yep.

How are you gonna make sure

you're not in the bottom
this time?

I picked a role
that is very different

-than what I would do usually.
-What role'd you get?

I'm the baby.

Will your baby speak French?

-Well, we do not know the dad.
-Yeah.

So I could always have a little
French accent here and there.

Yeah, it's a little literal.

Give it your all.
Push yourself, you know?

All right, kids,
I cannot wait to see this.

This is a make-or-break
challenge,

and this is also
a star-making challenge.

See you out there.

Thank you, Ru!

Okay.

We got work to do, ladies.

Girl.break

Welcome, ladies.

-Hi!
-Hi!

It's time to shoot
our Gay's Anatomy scenes,

and Carson will be directing us.

Aiden and I were both
in the bottom last week,

so both of us
have a lot to prove.

We may not be best friends,

but we're gonna be goddamn best
friends in this scene, honey.

Today, I'm looking
for over-the-top acting,

drama, romance,

and catheters,
if you have one.

Okay, so, first scene.
Places, ladies.

Time is money, chop-chop.

Action.

Dr. Meredith Gay,

there's an anal-phylactic shock
in room one.

Dr. Tizzy Stebens, there's
a diver-dick-ulitis in room two.

Cut. Let's go back.
Jaida, don't think about it.

We've got an anal-phylactic
shock. We've got a da-da-da-da.

-Just keep that rhythm moving.
-Okay.

Action.

There's a dick--
diver-dick-ulitis--

Cut!

Oh, child. [laughs]

Go back to one.subtitle here

When you think
that on the first try

that you should get it perfect
and that does not happen...

There's an anal--

You're just like a deer
in the headlights.

Right.

All right, let's move on.

So there it is.

Girl, how's it going
with your drag mom?

Gosh, I wish my mother
had survived

a near-fatal tucking accident.

Tizzy, you're not well
and you're sick

and why did you bring a cat
to a hospital?

-Cut. Let's go back.
-Nipples?

Jackie, your line is "Tizzy,
you're sick and you need help."

Thank you.

And Gigi, that was perfect.

When I walked into
this competition,

I thought if Gigi
as just a fashion queen.

And she's been serving it in
the performance challenges, too,

which makes her
quite the threat.

Moving on.

I told you to go on eight.

Five, six, seven, eight,
bitches!

You're the one that wanted to do
a "fork the pain away" number!

Fork you!

Why is it always
about utensils with you?

And cut!
It's totally like Hamlet,

minus the "let"
and just the "ham."

Let's move on.

Can't wait to meet
the new Meredith.

And action.

Aah!

Who am I?

[deep voice]
Oh, hey, Meredith.

Mother? You recognize me?

I've had a full face transplant!

Can we talk about me now?

-[laughs]
-What do you think?

I was thinking about wearing
the ring on the other finger.

I don't know.
It's looking a little big.

[laughs]

Motherfucking Sherry Pie.

That's my role.

Pressure's on.

How could I be having a baby?

I'm a drag queen!

Oh, I think I see the head!

Aah!

-Aah
-[laughs]

[deep voice]
Get this baby outta me!

It's...a bomb!

Actually, it's a glitter bomb.

I swallowed that at the white
party a couple months ago.

[all laugh]

Widow is doing very well.

Overall, she delivered.

Literally,
because she was pregnant.

[laughs]

If that doesn't make it in,
there's a problem.

That was gold.

And cut.

Widow, your thing about
the white party was genius.

Okay, baby and mother
insert scene.

we're gonna bring in
the special effects experts.

Thank you for your patients.

That was a hospital joke, too.

[laughs]

Anyway, action.

Oh, fierce.
Her visage looks snatch.

Werk, Dr. Bitch!

I knew I should have swallowed
your mother-tuckin' ass!

I'm about to shove
my baby like--sorry.

I'm about to shove up my baby
ass in your long--sorry.

Do I really gotta put up with
this damn baby for 18 years?

[speaking French]

Speak some more French, Nicky,
that's great.

I can leave this baby here
at the hospital, right?

There's moments when Nicky
and Widow have to improv,

and Nicky kind of loses steam
halfway through and gives up.

Moving on.

-Are we ready to roll?
-Yes, ma'am.

Aiden, are you in character?
Are you dead or are you alive?

Oh, I'm alive.

Okay. Action.

Oh! Hello, Dr. Okurr.

Why don't you come up
and IV me sometime?

Got any good news for me?

Oh, sorry.

[sighs]

Oh, hello, Dr. Okurr.

Why don't you come up
and IV me sometime?

Just as I suspected: R-A-S.

And cut.

Aiden,
it was a little tentative,

and it just seemed like

maybe you weren't confident
with your lines.

Just be a little bit looser
with them.

Yep.

And then Brita, R-A-S.

Instead of being
an excited lover,

you have a moment where
you become a doctor again.

Just as I suspected: R-A-S.

-Okay, thank you.
-Action.

Oh, hello, Dr. Okurr.

Why don't you come up
and IV me sometime. Oh.

Just as I suspected: R-A-S!

I am trying not to lose focus,
but it's definitely difficult

because Brita can spit
when she talks.

[slowed-down] Affectations.

I said talk like a dog. Ruff.

The whole scene
were just facefuls.

That big mouth
has a lot of spit.

And cut.

Aiden, you nailed it.

You took all those notes.
That was perfect.

And then Brita,
it's comma, R-A-S,

comma.

I guess I need
to show Carson more range?

Brita, act like
you've noticed she's quiet,

and say, "What's going on,
honey, why you so quiet?"

I'm going above and beyond.

Like, it's one thing
to just lay there,

and for me to, like,
carry it to the finish line.

I mean, it's pretty easy
to play dead. [chuckles]

All right,
that's a wrap, ladies.

We won't know what we have
until we see the final edit,

but we will watch that
on the main stage tomorrow.

I think we're all feeling
really good about the challenge.

I mean, I feel
un-forking-believable.

[laughs]
But I can just tell

something's coming to fuck
all that shit up.break

I am Aiden Zhane,
and I have one thing to say:

Boo!

-Boo!
-Boo!

All right, bitches.

There's another elimination day,
and somebody's going home.

How do we all feel
about the challenge?

Good.

Do you think
people dropping lines

is gonna be a factor at all?

'Cause there were some folks
who were dropping some lines.

-Bitch, look--
-I'm just saying.

I'm gonna tell you
this much.

Jackie trying to stir
the shit this morning.

Overall, I feel like
it was cute,

and it came together at the end.

But I know in the beginning,

I, like, psyched myself out
a little bit,

and then maybe you never know
if that will be the thing

that can, like,
put you in the bottom.

Because everybody was so good.

I think that they're
gonna be really nitpicky

about everything.

I'm happy with my performance.

And because they want me
to show personality,

I just hope that
this is gonna be enough.

Oh, so you think that
you're gonna always have

just, like, a stuck-up,
cold French bitch

that only focus
about makeup and glamour?

Bitch, I covered
all my teeth in black

to have only one showing
as a baby.

Who's glamorous?

[laughs]

And you know, one of
the biggest struggles that I had

since I arrived here

is that this is
an American competition show.

So the fact that
I'm struggling on some stuff

that you guys
are not even struggling with,

it makes me feel like
you shouldn't even be here.

You shouldn't even be here.

You're struggling
with the language.

You're taking someone's spot.

You have to
set all of that aside.

I wish I could just
climb inside your brain

and just alleviate you
of all of that.

I have worked so hard for this,

and I have so much to offer that
I have to live in the moment

and not let this saboteur
really take over,

and try to shut down
those voices in my head.

-Sherry.
-Yes?

Your Mother character,
was it based off

of any of your,
like, real-life mother figures?

Not really.
Like, my real mom

is, like, a hardcore
supportive showbiz mom.

Like, I love my mom, you know?

Um, my mom...

all that ever mattered to her,
like so many immigrant families,

is you move to this country

because you want your kids
to have a better life.

And for her,
that meant education,

that meant getting a good job,
doing something respectable.

For so long, my mom
was just against every choice,

every instinct I had.

Like, I didn't want
to be a doctor.

All I wanted to do
was sing and dance.

I never got to take
dance classes

because she didn't think

that that was something
that boys should do.

She doesn't even know I do drag.

For so much of my life,
I was never enough for my mom...

or the expectations
I put on myself.

I'm terrified
that she's gonna see this,

and it's gonna be like

all her worst nightmares
about me came true

because I'm not
what she dreamed I would be.

But the thing about that is
is that success is success,

and she can see this,

and she sees that what you
decided to do with your life

led you to a way where
you can take care of yourself

and you can be happy.

That's usually
what parents want for us,

and sometimes, they just think
they know what's best.

Sometimes they just have
to see it, like, lived out,

and see the reality
of what it really is.

I can't allow her disapproval
to define me.

So I hope when she sees this,

she'll know that
this is what's made me happy,

and that I want her
to understand that part of me.

We've chosen the right career,

and we do actually know
what's good for us.

Widow, how are you feeling?

Uh... [chuckles]

Talking about moms has always
been super hard for me.

My mom died in a car crash
when I was 17.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

And just knowing

that she never is gonna
have the chance to see me,

you know, live this dream
and be who I am

and finally come out.

And I have no relationship
with family.

Like, no one knows
I'm married in my family.

No one knows that I'm even here.

I never got to come out to her,

never got to talk to her,
never...

And we had an argument
the day she died,

and I never got to,
like, mend that.

I stormed out of the house
and I left with my friends,

and the next thing I know, the
police are knocking on the door.

And they say, "Your mother
passed away in a car crash."

And it felt like everything
just went silent.

[sniffles, sighs]

-[sobs]
-I understand.

I really--I understand.

No one's ever
gonna take her place,

but you have people who are
here for you and care for you

and want to see you do amazing.

I just wish that, you know,
I had the chance.

-I wish.
-Of course.

Because I know that she'd be
the biggest fucking supporter

and root for me so much, and--

But she's watching over you.

Fuck. And I said
I wasn't gonna cry.

[laughs]

I understand now more in-depth
why Widow is so unpredictable.

The loss of such an important
figure that is your mother

can really affect you
for the rest of your life.

Heal y'all,
motherfuckers, okay?

Heal, bitches!
[all laugh]

Heal and paint.

We got a runway to get on,
bitches.

-Okay, Rhonda Shimes.
-[laughs]subtitle next

-Oh!
-Oh!

-[laughs]
-Shady, bitch.

[RuPaul laughs]

♪ Cover girl,
put the bass in your walk ♪

♪ Head to toe,
let your whole body talk ♪

And what?

Welcome to the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Now available without
a prescription, Michelle Visage.

Yes, baby. Available now
under the counter.

[all laugh]

Style superstar
Carson Kressley.

How many fingers
am I holding up?

Well, I just see a fist.

[all laugh]

Well, you would know.

And the stunning Normani.
How are you feeling?

Ru, I got a bad case
of loving you,

and, honey, there ain't no cure.

[all laugh]

This week,
we challenged our queens

to over-act on the all-drag
medical drama Gay's Anatomy.

And tonight on the runway,

category is Planet of the Capes.

[all laugh]

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman win.break

Category is Planet of the Capes.

First up, Jaida Essence Hall.

Normani: Ooh, she's so beat.

RuPaul: Oh, corraly fixated,
if you ask me.

Jaida: I have these
over-dramatic shoulders.

Miss Jaida is feeling her
full Jimmy Neutron fantasy.

Carson: You know,
if you got a hump,

put some glitter on it.

RuPaul: Brita.

Michelle:
The return of Booberella.

[all laugh]

-Ooh!
-Ooh!

Brita: Little Red Riding Hood
ain't so little anymore, bitch.

She is serving you
a light cape,

because she's a girl on the go

and she cannot be weighed down
by a heavy cape.

Carson:
I've heard of assless chaps,

but not assless trumpet skirts.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Jackie Cox.

Normani:
Ooh, she feeling herself.

[all laugh]

Jackie: I'm serving
a mysterious dancer

of the Middle East,

with a beautiful headpiece
that is serving the Third Eye

to ward off evil spirits.

Michelle: If you can't
beat 'em, harem.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Simply Jan.

Carson: I've heard
of parachute pants, but--

Michelle:
Oh, my God, no! Don't jump!

Jan: I would never skydive,

so the only opportunity
that I'm gonna get

is to do it on the runway.

I have my rhinestone glasses on
to protect my eyes.

I think my look is killer.

Carson: Her modeling career
hasn't really taken off.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Gigi Goode.

It's cookie time!

[Carson laughs]

Gigi: Good morning, campers.

I've taken inspiration
from Troop Beverly Hills.

Yeah, I wanna look
like I was tricked

into becoming
a Girl Scout leader.

Get these cookies!

RuPaul: Shake the man's hand,
Daddy,

and we're on our way.

[all laugh]

Up next, Sherry Pie.

Michelle: Peanut butter
and banana pie.

Sherry: I am giving you
the King,

AKA the Queen.

I am living, and when
I open up that cape,

there is nothing more American
than pie and Elvis.

She just gave us all the bird.

Normani: Viva drag Vegas.

RuPaul: Heidi!

Michelle: If you like it, then
you better put a wing on it.

[RuPaul laughs]

Heidi: I'm floating
down this runway,

wings open, mouth open wide,
just glowing with pride.

That kind of rhymes.

Okay, take my poetry, honey.

RuPaul: Ooh, I'm in the mood
for some hot wings.

Crystal Methyd.

Michelle: Frida Cape-lo.

[all laugh]

Crystal: I am bringing
the sunshine.

I look like
a tropical princess.

Got flowers in my hair
and chunky jewelry.

My makeup
is a little bit more natural

than the judges
have seen before.

RuPaul: Ladies and gentlemen,
Rita Coolidge.

[all laugh]

Aiden Zhane.
Silence of the Liza.

Oh, you've got something
on your--

Aiden: I am living my Silence
of the Lambs horror fantasy.

The cape I am wearing
is actually inspired

by a cape scene in Buffalo
Bill's basement in the movie.

Normani: Put the lotion
in the basket!

[all laugh]

RuPaul: The Widow Von'Du.

Widow: My cape is inspired
by a watermelon,

because watermelons are juicy,
and, oh, surprise, bitches!

-Ooh!
-Oh!

You got some titties!

My cape
is breezing in the wind.

You know it and I know it:
she looking good.

Michelle: Janet Jackson's
having some PTSD right now.

[all laugh]

Carson: I gonna call her
melon-in up in here.

[all laugh]

RuPaul: Nicky Doll. Oh!

Normani: You gorrr.

Nicky: I'm giving you
nineties Mugler,

Miss Joan of Arc,

one of the most iconic women
in French history.

Thierry Mugler is one of my
favorite designer of all time,

and I'm living for it.

Carson: She's obviously
been doing some reflecting.

RuPaul: Yes, she has.

Normani: Bustier, you stay.

[all laugh]break

Welcome, ladies.

It's time to tune in
to Gay's Anatomy.

I'm Dr. Meredith Gay,

world-famous
for my surgical skills

and my bad taste in men.

Oh, sorry!

You'd think working
at Lady Bunny Memorial Hospital

for 69 seasons--

I mean years--
I'd be bored.

But, honey, thanks to our
boss bitch Rhonda Shimes,

there's never a dull moment.

Dr. Meredith Gay,

there's an anal-phylactic shock
in room one.

-Oh!
-Dr. Tizzy Stebens,

there's a diver-dick-ulitis
in room two.

Dr. Sandra Okurr,

there's 10 homo-tomas
in the waiting room.

Get your asses out there!

So, Meredith, how's it going
with your drag mom?

Well, things haven't
been the same since--

Since her near-fatal
tucking accident last summer?

I wish my mother had survived
a near-fatal tucking accident.

-[sighs] Oh!
-She's coming!

[hacking and coughing]

Good morning, Mother.

[deep voice]
What's good about it?

Every day I can't shablam
is a living hell!

Why didn't you pull the plug
when you had the chance?

Because you weren't
on life support, Mother.

[all laugh]

Dr. Meredith, meet me
in the supply closet.

I have to go.

[meow]

Nipples, what'd you say?

You wish somebody would
McBang me in the supply closet?

Oh, you really get me!

Like all strong women,

we've all struggled with love,
loss, and being a whore.graphic
next

Oh, Dr. Okurr,

why don't you come up
and IV me sometime? Oh.

Just as I suspected.

Oh?

It's R-A-S:

Restless Ass Syndrome.

Oh!

There is no cure.

[sobs]

Oh, honey, I love you.

We're gonna beat this thing.

That's medically impossible,
but okay.

Oh!

Wait. I wanna remember
this moment forever.

Let's take a selfie.

Oh, God.
My battery's at 1%.

God, look who's hogging
all the outlets, huh?

[monitor flatlines]

[gasping]

Look, I put puppy dog ears
on us!

Say woof! Woof, woof,
woof, woof, woof!

[laughs]

Henny? Henny!

Luckily, we all have massive
malpractice policies.

But the one thing you can't buy
an insurance policy for

is a broken heart.

[alarm]
Code pink! Code pink!

Not another octo-tsunami.

That's the third one
this season.

Whoo! I'm not fat,
you idiots!

I'm pregnant!
Get this damn thing off me!

Ten-ten-tentacles
across the board!

Aah!

How could I be having a baby?

I'm a drag queen!

When you've been here
for 673 episodes--

I mean weeks--

you've seen everything.

Oh, I think I see the head!

Whoo!

It's not a baby!

It's...a bomb!

Actually, it's a glitter bomb.

I swallowed that
at the white party.

I'm just going to have
to hold this glitter bomb

perfectly steady in one hand

while I deliver the baby
with the other.

Whoo!

Whoo!

-Whoo!
-Aah!

Oh!

Meet your baby.

Ooh, sacre bleu,

it smells like balls
and wig glue in here!

Whose boob do I have to suck
to get a little milk in here?

You better shut up,
you loud-ass baby!

Oh, you ain't even
seen loud yet.

[shouts in French]

What the hell
does that even mean?

Whore!

Mm-hmm, you right.

-♪ The miracle of life ♪
-I need a hug!

No, don't touch me,
or the bomb will explode!

[boom]

Oh, Meredith!

She needs a face transplant,
stat!

Some days at this job,

you can feel like
a totally different person.

Meredith, the face transplant
went well.

Let's take a look
at your new face!

Oh, my God.

Aah!

Oh, hello, Meredith.

Mother, you recognize me?

What, you look different?

I've had a full face transplant!

I don't see it.
Can we talk about me now?

Do you think that
this makes me look fat?

Aah!

I like that
it covers up my chin,

but it might, you know,
add too much chin.

Aah!

It's my knees, isn't it?

Aah!

Listen, I don't think
they're that bad.

[cries]

Oh, fierce.

Her visage looks snatch.

Do I really gotta put up with
this damn baby for 18 years?

[speaking French]

♪ Ma ma se, ma ma sa,
ooh ma coo sa! ♪

[cries]

And you never forget
those really tough cases.

I told you to go on eight.

Five, six, seven, eight,
bitches.

Who goes on seven?

You're the one that wanted to do
a "fork the pain away" number!

I wanted to do
"since you've been flan"

and pop out of a giant vat
of custard.

That wouldn't have hurt at all.

It would have hurt artistically.

Fork you!

No, fork you!

You two, get your forking asses
down to the operating room

before you bleed out, all right?

Go!

Sometimes we get
too emotionally involved,

and our patients
come back to haunt us.

Oh, hey, Doc.

Is that an EpiPen
in your pocket

or are you just
happy to see me? Oh.

I thought you were dead!

-Oh!
-You're a ghost?

Oh. Boo! Ha-ha!

You ever had spooky sex?

-Oh...
-Oh...

[laughs]

And sometimes, our cases
give us separation anxiety.

I don't think
we can save them both!

What do you mean?

If we remove the fork,
only one of them will survive!

There's only one person I know

with the special skills
to save both of these queens,

and she'd never do it.

I'd never do what?

Mother!

I have been selfish
and depressed,

and as my therapist--

Mom, we don't have
a lot of time.

All right!
Let's save these sluts!

-Aah!
-Aah!

Own it! If you've got a hump,
put some glitter on it!

I really think this
could help our marketing!

Mouth Dakota and Ali-bama,
they're un-forking-believable.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you, doctors.

[sighs] Mom,
if you'd like to apologize

for a lifetime
full of bad parenting,

I'm all ears.

What?

Oh, yes. My meds were off,

so I'm back to treating you
like shit.

And put some makeup on.
You look horrible.

Oh, God.

Life in a hospital
can be truly sickening.

There's no shortage
of emergencies...

or love...

...or family.

If I drop this baby,
is anybody gonna be mad?

But one thing's for sure.

There are moments
you'll never forget.

You know, I told you
to put a little makeup on.

Maybe McFlurry
wouldn't have left you

if you didn't look--whoa!

[crash, cat yowls]
No matter how hard you try.

[laughs]

[applause]

I think I smell a Peabody.

Oh, wait a minute.
No, that's just Carson.

[all laugh]break

Ladies, each of you
did an amazing job

with this week's challenge,

and you've made it
very difficult for the judges.

When I call your name,
please step forward.

Jan.

Widow Von'Du.

Jackie Cox.

Sherry Pie.

Gigi Goode.

Aiden Zhane.

You are all nominated

for outstanding performance by
a drag queen in a medical drama.

But one of you delivered
a performance that gave us life.

The winner of this week's
challenge is...

Sherry Pie.

[applause]

Con-drag-ulations.

You've won
a cash prize of $5.000.

Thank you.

Ladies, you may leave the stage.

Ladies, you all gave
memorable performances,

but you were
slightly overshadowed

by the queens
that just exited the stage.

Unfortunately, it's our task

to decide who should go home
this week.

And now it's time
for the judges' critiques.

Up first, Jaida Essence Hall.

Even though you needed
the most direction,

what we saw in the finished
piece actually kind of worked.

The issue for me was

I could see you saying
and remembering the words,

and you did.

There's 10 homo-tomas
in the waiting room.

But because you were trying
so hard not to miss a line,

you missed the jokes.

Your look today
is absolutely fierce.

Thank you.

I might steal it.

If you want it,
you can have it.

I love the silhouette
with the extreme shoulder.

That Mars Attacks,
Bride of Frankenstein hair.

Yeah, it's giving me
Halle Berry in B.A.P.S. vibes.

I love it.

Thank you.

Up next, Brita.

Tonight on the runway,

I'm gonna compliment
your body shape,

because you just do it so well.

But I am never a fan of chaps.

I think
it's very nightclubby.

That really chaps your ass,
doesn't it?

It chaps my ass, Carson.

I would have made the cape

a bit more
of the statement piece.

If the challenge is cape,
give us a cape.

In the acting challenge,
you were very, very consistent,

but still,
it might have been nicer

to see some different
highs and lows.

Okay.

You kind of got stuck
doing one thing.

We wanna see you take her

and give her as much meat
as you can.

Up next, Heidi 'n' Seekie.

[all laugh]

Just trying new things,
you know.

Sitting here watching you,

you look like a young
Diana Ross tonight.

Thank you.

We're gonna talk about your
performance in Gay's Anatomy.

I am a greedy,
greedy-ass bottom at times,

and I always want more.

More, more, more.

Same.
[all laugh]

They say there are no small
parts, only small actors,

but there were moments where I
know you could have gone for it.

When you're about
to be sawed in half,

and you started screaming
and getting hysterical,

it just needed
more of that throughout

to make that smaller part
really memorable.

Unfortunately, I didn't love
this runway look.

I almost feel like I'm looking
at two different outfits.

This is totally disconnected,
because underneath,

there's a glamorous
dominatrix feel.

And then the hair's
kind of a different era

than the outfit is.

It just doesn't
quite make sense.

Up next, Crystal Methyd.

I think you guys together
are pretty magical.

I've been asked to direct
Human Centipede IV,

and I'm gonna call both of you.

You were able to layer on
some nuances,

like the physical comedy.

When Heidi would push down
on the fork,

you would pop up in the back.

That's great stuff.

I haven't gotten a chance
to talk to you

since you've switched up
your makeup.

Crystal, it's so beautiful.

Thank you.

When you did
that kind of clowny stuff,

it was almost muddy-looking.

Your artistry now
is much more crisp and clear.

Your outfit is beautiful,

and you're giving me
Moana vibes.

You look like
a Polynesian queen.

It's really gorgeous.

Those boots, however,
have no place in this outfit.

I'm sorry.

Aah!

[all laugh]

Up next, Nicky Doll.

So in Gay's Anatomy,
you actually had a role

that I would want,
because it's so ridiculous.

And I will give you credit for
trying to work the French in.

Ooh, sacre bleu!

But you definitely
could have taken that

so much further than you did.

You had the right attitude,

and you were going down
the right path.

I just wanted you to do more
with this super-funny drag baby.

That's why I picked it,

because it was so over-the-top
and ridiculous,

because I know that
you've been calling me out a lot

on not showing my quirky side.

You did a good job.

It really gets down
to minor details at this point.

Tonight on the runway,

this Mugler-esque outfit
is beautiful.

It's giving me
Beyonce's Sweet Dreams.

-Oh.
-Right.

But the outfit
is really about a cape,

and for me, that cloak moment,

I wish you would have
kept it on longer.

Because really, that's the cape.

Because that is a piece
of fabric on your back.

Now, with all due respect,

you judges
have done a rotten job

of helping me make my decision.

So I wanna ask my girls.

Ladies, who should go home
tonight...

...and why?

Uh-oh.

We'll start with Jaida.

Ooh, child.

I would just have to say Heidi,

because the runway look
could have been stepped up.

Brita, same question.

The character that I didn't
really understand that well

out of all the girls
was Nicky's.

-All right, Heidi.
-[sighs]

I feel like the girl that
struggled the most is Nicky.

All right. Crystal Methyd.

I'd have to say Nicky.

I love you.

Nicky Doll, what say you?

Due to the challenge,
I would say myself.

I do believe that I could
have been able to be wittier

in my own language.

I have to translate
what you say.

All right, so if it wasn't you
that you choose,

which of these other girls
would you choose?

Um...only due to the runway,
I would have to say Heidi.

All right, ladies,
thank you for your honesty.

I think we've heard enough.

Now, while you untuck backstage,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

All right, now just between
us squirrel friends,

what do you think?
Jaida Essence Hall.

Jaida in Gay's Anatomy,
I think it was a job well done.

I do, however, think
all of those jokes

that came careening at us,

she didn't really understand
any of them.

Like homo-toma?

I'm not sure she knew
what a hematoma was,

so that's why a homo-toma
wouldn't be funny to her.

The runway look
I actually really loved,

so I kind of just wanna see
more and more and more.

Brita, please.

Brita as Sandra Okurr,
she was very prepared.

But I think that there is
such thing as over-preparing,

because it takes away
the spontaneous moment.

Spontaneity, yeah, mm-hmm.

It felt a little bit flat.

And guys,
this is a cape challenge.

She was wearing a negligee.

I don't mind that it was lighter

in contrast to the heavy fabric,

but it wasn't enough of a cape

for me to go, oh,
that outfit's about the cape.

No, that outfit
was about the bodysuit.

Heidi.

Tonight on the runway
was probably my least favorite.

She had a disco dominatrix
underneath,

and on top, just rainbow colors
with the Bob Mackie sticks.

I think what she really
needed to do

was just hone in on one idea.

I think maybe her sensibility
is not yet fully developed,

but she's so likable,

you just wanna root for her
all the time.

Crystal Methyd.

She had such a good time
in that challenge with Heidi.

They were really connected.

They were really connected,
Carson.

Tonight on the runway,

I thought this was really pretty
for Crystal,

because we've seen her
look so weird.

I think the thing about Crystal

is that we didn't know if she
was gonna be a one-trick pony

when I saw her walk
that first runway,

and she's been changing it up.

Normani, when you see her
out of drag,

she has
this El Debarge mullet...

♪ To the beat
of the rhythm of the night ♪

..that is so captivating.

The only thing missing
is some Jheri curl juice.

-Yeah.
-Nicky Doll.

When I first saw
the drag queen baby,

I thought, this is a perfect way

for Nicky
to show us her kookiness,

show us what you say you are.

And then it went nowhere.

Even on the runway, it felt like
she had quit a little bit early.

She just did the reveal
too quickly.

And then she walked, but it
just didn't have that vitality.

When I asked the girls
who they would send home,

it was very interesting that
Nicky Doll really chose herself.

You really have to wanna be here

and fight tooth and nail
for every moment.

Sometimes a lip sync
is a great equalizer in life.

I wish
the presidential candidates

would take a cue from us.

-Me, too.
-All right, silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.break

Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Jaida Essence Hall.

This week, you boss-bitched
your way through.

-You're safe.
-Thank you.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

[sighs] Oh, bitch.

Crystal Methyd.

You skewered
the acting challenge,

and your cape was overflowing.

You're safe.

Thank you.

You may join the other girls.

Nicky Doll.

Your drag baby
made us laugh,

but you needed to work
on the delivery.

Brita.
As Dr. Sandra,

the judges wanted more
than just "okurr."

Heidi, you're forking fabulous,

but your runway look
didn't cut it.

Brita.

You are safe.

Thank you.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

That means Nicky and Heidi,

I'm sorry, my dears,
but you are up for elimination.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies, this is your last chance
to impress me

and save yourself
from elimination.

The time has come...
[thunder]

for you to lip sync...

[echoing] for your life!

I am a girl from Paris
who had big dreams,

competing against
a small-town girl

that has just as big of a dream.

This is gonna be intense.

Good luck,
and don't fuck it up.

Nice!

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Heidi, shantay you stay.

Thank you so much.

This means the world.

I won't let you down again.

Nicky Doll,
we have to say au revoir,

but you'll always be my baby.

Now sashay away.

Thank you
from the bottom of my heart

for allowing
this young French gay kid

that grew up watching this show
to finally be on that stage.

I don't belong
to any drag family,

but now I can finally say
that I belong to one.

And I love you all,
and thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

[applause]
We love you, Nicky!

We love you so much!subtitle

[speaking French]

[sighs] I'm feeling sad.

I really wanted the judges
to see who Nicky Doll was,

and sadly, it didn't pay off
the way I wanted.

But at the end of the day,

it has been such a dream
to be here,

and I hope that
I made my country proud.

There's so much more to come,
so be ready for me, girl.

Can I untuck now?
[laughs]

Con-drag-ulations, ladies.

And remember,
if you can't love yourself,

We're playing the Snatch Game.
