-Nicco. -Yes?

What are you expecting to see?

I'm expecting to see what legends are made of.

You know what I'm saying?

Well, tonight,

it's Hollywood glam like never seen before.

By the time the credits roll,

one house will be heading back home

while one house will shine

as our first superior house of this season.

Plus, as a plot twist of this season,

as our superior house of tonight,

you will earn some power at the next function.

-Uh-oh. -Ooh.

-Sounds real -- -Okay. Alright.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Some tea.

So, tonight, the category is "Best-Dressed as a House."

We want to see sharp outfits with one superstar selling face.

Leiomy, break down selling face for us.

Well, selling face is all about framing around your face.

You're basically showing off your structure.

But if the confidence ain't there, then it sucks.

It's all about the confidence, baby.

Confidence plus beauty -- face.

-Oh! -Ah!

Y'all like that shit? Work, Leiomy.

[ Laughter ]

The houses will bring it in an all-house production.

They will be judged from 1 to 10,

with 10 being the highest score

on the best-dressed house choices

and all-around production.

Those with the top-six scores will be safe,

while the two lowest-scoring houses

will vogue for survival in the redemption battle.

Alright, they hit the stage last function

dripping in sexiness and confidence.

Tonight, they plan on taking us back to the 1920s.

Will the House of Garçon bring all that jazz and more?

Johnny: Hey. What's going on, Johnny?

Garçon up in here. Take a seat.

Make yourselves at home.

because Johnny has worked with people

like Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj.

Watching the work he's done on season one,

I feel like there's nothing Johnny can't do.

Alright. Let's get down to business.

Hollywood, Tinseltown, glitz and glam.

What are we gonna do for this ball?

Back in the '20s, where it was still so glamour,

some burlesque-y, you know.

Yeah, like a burlesque undertone.

Whew. Yes. Expensive.

Okay, I'm writing down keywords.

"Expensive" is the first one. Very expensive.

Okay. So, this week, Tinseltown, Hollywood, as you know.

They're gonna judge you on your best-dressed

and your overall performance.

Stasha: Jamari Balmain definitely killed it last season.

It was like every time he would enter through the doors,

it was just like an awe moment.

It was all amazing.

I'm excited to work with him

'cause he is a part of the choreography team.

So, the gag is one of you have to sell face.

Together: Ohhh!

This is iconic face.

Okay, Hall of Famer face.

Do I feel it's pressure?

No.

When I was walking in the mid-'90s,

I was giving them gowns and beads and furs

and, you know, jewelry and hair.

When I see it now, when I look back at the face categories,

that's all I see.

And I feel like that's a legacy for me

that I know that I have left a staple into ballroom.

I can still stand the test of time.

The goal is to win. I want to win that $100,000.

This is how you start the night, okay?

Y'all know y'all came out here and gave

I was like, "Bitch, I need to step my game up."

So, I'mma go ahead -- I would -- I would...

and I shall give you a 10.

Okay. Law?

I really, really liked it. Yes!

I really liked it. I think the only thing that I can nitpick about

is Stasha's gown didn't really feel of the era to me.

Other than that, it was almost perfect.

So for that, I'll give you a nine.

Milan: Okay. Give yourselves a round of applause.

Thank you so much, Garçons.

You did that. Okay!

Yeah. I loved it. And you look so stunning.

I disagree with my other judges that gave you nines,

because you should have gotten a 10.

Come on. Come on.

Omari: Thank you, thank you, thank you.

-Girl! -Jameela.

I felt like I was watching the real big screen.

It was such a stunning performance.

Gillette, from the second you started,

you took my breath away.

It was hard to take my eyes off you.

The only critique I have --

There was just too much happening.

There were too many things, all of which I wanted to watch...

I don't agree. ...and I kind of didn't know where to look.

And that is the only reason I will give you a nine.

But just so you know, your fashion is an 11. No! Boo!

King Aus: The goal for the performance

is to bring everyone into the '70s.

We want the judges to want to get up and get into the stage.

Did we decide if we're gonna do the turn into the dip? The arms?

I think as long as it makes a connection to us...

-Yeah. -Right.

...then it makes sense,

but if it doesn't make a connection to us,

then it won't make sense.

Maleek: We had a lot of different ideas,

but we kind of narrowed it down

to the ones that would make sense and read better.

We're not gonna be just this house

that skates through in the middle.

We needed to make sure that everything works out

because we are our own worst enemies.

We need to listen to each other more.

Everyone has put their input, and we have listened,

and it is probably gonna make for

a stronger performance this week.

One of the members has to sell face.

You know I've been waiting for this moment.

that I ever walked was drags face,

and I never walked it again because then I started,

and then you weren't even in sync.

And so this week, I am giving you guys a six.

But I do want to see you again.

Megan, what did you dig about this performance?

Well, the whole time, I was diggin' Maleek.

I could only look at you the whole time, performing,

'cause you seemed like you were having fun.

Everybody else was kind of like,

"Okay, I'm here. This is what we chose."

Jocelyn, I don't feel like you had to dance at all.

Like, I feel like you could have just came out here

and gave the face --

"I'm the superstar." Like, "Look at me.

I don't need to do shit because I'm that bitch."

but I didn't like the performance.

So what about that score, then, baby?

What I want to say is that y'all picked a concept

in which it's so many different types of people live in that.

For real, for real. Do not seek approval.

You are already enough.

So, with that, for me, this performance was average.

So I would give you a five.

Dashaun: Thank you, Nicco. Law.

I just feel so let down because I gave you a 10 last week.

Law, do you agree or not -- Their 'fits were of the era.

Yeah. But was it best-dressed?

We had already had it planned.

There is some competition in the face category this season,

but I also feel like I have a lot to bring with my face.

I was about 3 years old

when my grand-mom let me play in her wig and her heels.

I always felt like I was a woman on the inside,

until I found out I could be a woman on the outside too.

I was sneaking my hormones at one point in time

because my parents weren't okay with it,

and they kicked me out.

And that's pretty much, like, the journey

of me really starting my transition on my own.

I actually did reconcile with my dad and moved back in,

I've been walking face for 16 consecutive years.

I have won multiple thousands of dollars.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Even though my baby Honey has not been able to be with us

for all our rehearsals...

We're gonna still put our best foot forward,

and you'll never know when we hit the floor.

We are gonna be superior house.

Oh, yes, child. You make me wet.

That's what it was, you made me wet.

Okay, so, go ahead, take your 10, 'cause I can take it.

-Ow! -Yes.

I can take your 10 today.

Dashaun: Law.

'Aga, I think that you are the house to beat.

And you came into the competition

as being the house to beat,

and I don't think you disappointed.

I'm definitely gonna give you a nine.

Work, Balenci'.

-Alright. -Okay.

Jameela.

I love the reference. I love the "My Fair Lady."

You didn't just take last week's win for granted.

You came back and you took a real risk,

and you did something that you weren't comfortable with.

That was such a winning performance.

It felt like the finale. This is what a 10 looks like.

-Oooh! -Oooh!

Megan: Y'all picked the perfect costumes.

Y'all picked the perfect moves.

Bitch, the duck walk --

I said, "Bitch, you know how to do that?"

And, mind you, she traveled it the whole way around

and kept duck-walking the whole time. Okay. The spin...

So, like y'all probably knew,

what y'all was striving to get...

Dashaun: Mm-hmm. Was what?

-Oh! -And what was given...

What was given... [ Cheering ]

...was a motherfucking 10.

[ Laughter ] Period.

Law: Yes, yes, yes.

Alright, give the Balenciagas a round of applause.

You guys did that. Congratulations.

You did awesome.

With a score of 49, that was the House of Balenciaga.

It should have been 10s across the board,

but they have to leave room, once again,

so that we don't feel complacent and get too comfortable.

So thank you for that, and we will give you this again...

All: And again and again!

And again!

Coming up, will the next house solve the mystery

of who deserves to be superior house?

Serving you dark and moody air,

I bring to you the House of Miyake-Mugler.

This is exciting.

They're gonna make this into a dress, honey.

This week, we're bringing it like an homage to the '40s,

like, very "L.A. Confidential," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."

So we're like mobsters.

But with a Mugler type of suit. A remix.

Touch of modern.

Sell it. Sell it. Boom. Go off.

This is so good.

With this challenge, we decided the lovely Tati to walk face.

Tati: As far as walking face,

I do know there are some other girls

who are more experienced or seasoned,

but I've been around the block, too.

I've been walking face since, I want to say, 2013.

Every time I came out, I won,

so I think the confidence is definitely gonna be there.

I think that there is more still to see from you as a house,

Work. Leiomy.

As far as selling face, you are already beautiful.

The mug is there.

Just take your time a little bit more,

'cause we don't want to see such a fast movement

when you're selling face.

We want to get into the essence

That's the only thing that I will give you.

The performance -- I loved it.

I'm gonna be a little bit more tough on you,

only because I know it's gonna make you guys come harder.

So I'm giving you a nine tonight.

Work. Nicco.

I feel like y'all turned it out and turned me out a little bit.

That choreo was nice. The weaving in and out,

the leans, the body, the silhouettes,

I was there for all of that.

I want to give y'all a nine.

I think, Becky, I loved everything you did.

Maleek, I also loved everything you did, too,

what you were doing with your face.

It was just a little bit something extra

that you did with your face that I found more entertaining.

you did vogue a bit better than Maleek,

that it took away from the beauty of your artistry.

your performance was not as clean as his,

but your confidence is what kept my eye on you.

I saw Maleek while you were performing.

Ugh, I got to make a decision, guys.
