After Moltyn's Elimination
The queens return to the werk room following Moltyn's departure, having taken a week and a half off after the studio was hit by a small, fracking-related earthquake. Lip sync survivor Kornbread prays for another acting challenge (or five), while challenge winner Gia is hopeful that the producers break convention by giving the queens nothing but fashion challenges until the end of the competition. As the halfway point approaches, the queens take stock of their track records - Gia leads the pack with two wins, while Jazell, Neon, Jasmine and Tina have one each. Tina smugly warns the queens who aren't on that list (6, Denali, Kornbread, Olivia and Toto) that if they don't step their games up pronto, they'll be following Moltyn right out the door. And, says Tina, she's fine with that, as it means one less competitor for the crown.

Mini Challenge
For the mini challenge, Yuhua What You Eat, season ten contestant Yuhua Hamasaki stops by to analyse each queen’s bowel patterns. The queen with the cleanest stool wins. By nature of being the skinniest queen, having not eaten solid food for two months, Gia is the winner of the mini challenge. She receives... I don't know, a lifetime supply of cat litter as her prize. Meow.

Main Challenge
Ru announces to the queens that they'll be taking on the iconic Snatch Game, but instead of doing things the usual way, they'll be playing the game Family Feud-style. Neon channels Valentina and asks if this means Steve Harvey will be making an appearance (he will not).

The usual open discussion of everyone's Snatch Game choices commences among the queens; Jazell shows off the gown she's planning to wear as legendary Dynasty actress Diahann Carroll, while Neon chats to Toto about her decision to do rapper of the moment Megan Thee Stallion. Kornbread asks 6 about who she'll be playing, but judging by the many wigs spread out across her work bench, 6 still has some deciding to do.

Later on, Ru pops in to grill the queens/spout some nonsense about riffing, volleying and inner saboteurs. He does not apologise for the earthquake he caused with his fracking. Anyway, as part of this segment we found out the remainder of the queens' picks; Kornbread has chosen to play Ms. Juicy from Little Women: Atlanta, Olivia is taking on the one and only Vanessa Williams, Denali is playing the famously lovely Lea Michele, Gia will do spiritual advisor to Oprah, one-time presidential candidate and all-around nutcase Marianne Williamson (as an extra reward for winning the mini challenge, Gia gets a one-on-one Snatch Game coaching session from the challenge's very first winner, season 2's Tatianna), and Toto is taking a mighty risk by transforming herself into, er, Lord Voldemort. It's safe to say her plans are met with a look of concern from Ru, who can't exactly picture volleying with a fictional half-blood Dark Lord.

Elsewhere, Tina weighs up her two potential choices (businesswoman Barbara Corcoran and Broadway star Elaine Stritch), while Jasmine does the same with her two all-singing characters, Leontyne Price and Shirley Bassey, telling Ru that she hopes whichever one she picks will finally give her the edge over friendly rival Tina. Speaking of Ru, when he visits 6's work bench, she still hasn't chosen her specific character, although she has narrowed her selection down to either Kate Bush or P!nk. She admits that her Snatch Game character is probably going to come down to a last minute decision, and whichever one it is, she hopes it doesn't land her in the bottom.

The Snatch Game then happens (who ever said I'm not excessively verbose?). The queens, in Family Feud/Fortunes style, are split up arbitrarily into two families:

The O'Hara-Davenport-Delexington-Dupree Family
Diahann Carroll, as played by Jazell
Lord Voldemort, as played by Toto
Marianne Williamson, as played by Gia
P!nk, as played by 6
Shirley Bassey, as played by Jasmine

The Paige-Brooks-Bryant-Matthews-Bo'nina-Brown Family
Barbara Corcoran, as played by Tina
Lea Michele, as played by Denali
Megan Thee Stallion, as played by Neon
Ms. Juicy, as played by Kornbread
Vanessa Williams, as played by Olivia

As you might expect, Neon throws in a few references to her WAP, Jasmine says "she doesn't have the range" a lot about the queens on the other team, Tina throws dollar bills around like confetti and Toto, er, slut drops on Marianne Williamson while dressed in full Lord Voldemort drag, prosthetics and all. After the game is complete, Ru does his best Steve Harvey impression by announcing that the winner is... Miss Colombia. There's nothing quite like a joke from five years ago to end a challenge on a high, is there?
