Episode
Following Olivia Lux's elimination, the remaining four contestants—Gottmik, Kandy Muse, Rosé, and Symone—re-enter the Werk Room. RuPaul reveals the final challenge, which tasks contestants with writing, recording verses for, and performing choreography in the debut of RuPaul's song "Lucky". RuPaul says they will rehearse with guest choreographer Jamal Sims, and invites them to join him and Michelle Visage for one-on-one interviews.

During their interview with RuPaul and Visage, Gottmik discusses their drag name, gender transition, and progress throughout the competition. Rosé talks about her backgrounds in theatre and drag, as well as her relationship with her family and her aspirations. Kandy Muse discusses the name of her drag persona and her experiences during the competition. Symone shares about how she joined the House of Avalon and the reasons for her shyness, especially out of drag. Sims coaches the contestants on the main stage. In the Werk Room, the contestants discuss their first impressions of each other and their experiences in the competition as they prepare for the runway.

On the main stage, RuPaul welcomes fellow judges Visage, Carson Kressley, and Ross Mathews. The contestants perform "Lucky". The runway category is "Drag Excellence". The judges deliver their final critiques. RuPaul asks each of the contestants to share some words of wisdom to their younger selves, then requests all four to face off in a lip-sync to "I Learned from the Best (HQ2 Radio Mix)" by Whitney Houston. None of the contestants are eliminated from the competition, and all four are declared as season finalists.
