Episode

The current and eliminated contestants reunite in the Werk Room. On the main stage, RuPaul welcomes fellow judges Michelle Visage and Ts Madison. The eliminated participate in a series of lip-syncs called the Lip Sync LaLaPaRuza Smackdown, the winner of which will be crowned as "Queen of She Done Already Done Had Herses" with a $50,000 prize. For most of the lip-syncs a contestant is chosen at random, who gets to select their opponent. Their opponent then gets to choose the lip-sync song.

First, Dawn chooses to lip-sync against Amanda Tori Meating, who chooses "Damaged" (2008) by Danity Kane. Amanda Tori Meating wins the lip-sync and advances to round 2. In the second lip-sync, Q chooses Megami as her opponent, who chooses "What About" by Janet Jackson. Megami wins and advances to round 2. In the third lip-sync, Morphine Love Dion chooses Geneva Karr as her opponent, who chooses "Million Dollar Baby" (2022) by Ava Max. Morphine Love Dion wins and advances to round 2. In the fourth lip-sync, Mirage chooses Hershii LiqCour-Jeté as her opponent, who chooses "Alone 2.0" (2023) by Kim Petras and Nicki Minaj. Mirage wins and advances to round 2. As the last three remaining contestants, Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige, Plasma, and Xunami Muse must face off in a lip-sync. Mh'iya Iman Le'Paige is randomly selected to pick the song and chooses "Milkshake" (2003) by Kelis. Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige wins and advances directly to round 3.

In the first lip-sync of round 2, Amanda Tori Meating chooses Megami as her opponent, who chooses "The Shoop Shoop Song" by Cher. Megami wins and advances to round 3. In the second lip-sync of round 2, the two remaining contestants, Mirage and Morphine Love Dion, must lip-sync. Morphine Love Dion is randomly selected to pick the song and chooses "This Time I Know It's for Real" (1989) by Donna Summer. Morphine Love Dion wins and advances to round 3. Before the third round, RuPaul reveals a twist: one of the remaining contestants will be selected at random and she must choose her opponent. The contestant who is not chosen will advance directly to the final round. Megami is selected, and she chooses to lip-sync against Mhi'ya Iman Le'Paige. The two face off in a lip-sync to the remaining song "We Got the Beat" (1982) by The Go-Go's. Megami wins and advances to the final round. In the final round Megami and Morphine Love Dion lip-sync to "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C+C Music Factory. Morphine Love Dion wins.
