It originally aired on the cable network MTV on March 28, 2025, and was followed by an episode of the companion series RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked.

June Diane Raphael is as a guest judge, alongside regular panelists RuPaul, Michelle Visage, and Law Roach. Sam Star wins the main challenge. Jewels Sparkles and Onya Nurve place in the bottom and face off in a lip-sync contest to "1 Thing" by Amerie, but RuPaul decides not to eliminate either contestant from the competition.
