Episode #2 - Memes Come True
Part Three

The next day, and with the upcoming elimination playing on their minds, the queens work on perfecting their Best Drag looks for this week’s runway. Rafaella shows off her outfit, an expensive-looking blue gown, to the other queens. “How many sugar daddies did you have to get through to be able to afford that?” asks a stunned Valentine. Honey delicately brushes the oversized cartoon wig that she plans to wear and Jessica sorts through the paint she’ll apply to her face to create her look, while several queens gush over Bombalicious’ ornate dress, which reflects her Asian heritage. “I didn’t care much for this challenge,” Bombalicious says to the camera as she displays the dress on her work station. “I don’t like working in teams, so this wasn’t a fun week for me. I haven’t even learned the lip sync yet. But I figured that I could totally bomb in the challenge and still get through if I show the judges what I can do on the runway, and in my opinion, this is the best drag they’ll see tonight. Mark my words.”

Across the werkroom, Nicole confesses to Yvie that she’s beginning to get worried. “I'm seeing all these gorgeous looks,” she says, looking around the room, “and I know mine isn’t up to that standard. I’m a little scared that the judges will think my look is basic, and then it's as if my performance in the challenge will have been for nothing.” Yvie gives Nicole a hug and reminds her that it takes all kinds of drag to make a world. Elsewhere, Drü talks to Lady Boi about how her look is “classic Drü Holiday” and how she hopes that the judges will get her style of drag, as she was safe last week and didn’t have the chance to be critiqued. “I really want to stamp my name onto this competition,” she confesses, “and there’s no better time like the present, is there?”

As the runway approaches, Lady Boi notices some gold jewellery atop Bombalicious’ work station. “I have the exact same jewellery, girl, snap. I was going to wear mine tonight but I couldn’t find it. Where did you get it?” Bombalicious’ eyes dart around the room, and she pauses before saying that she inherited it from her grandmother. Lady Boi nods tentatively, and says in a confessional, “I’m not saying she stole my jewellery, but I’m not not saying the bitch stole my jewellery. Girl, your dress is already stunning, you don’t need to mop my jewellery! What do you think you’re playing at?”

Ru walks down the runway and welcomes the judges - Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews, and tonight’s extra special guest judges, comedian Sasheer Zamata and actress Jane Krakowski - to the show, before introducing tonight’s maxi challenge, a lip synced musical celebration of some of the most legendary memes in Drag Race herstory.
