The mini challenge sees the queens audition to dance in The Nutsmacker, a parody of The Nutcracker . Anastarzia Anaquway and BOA win the challenge and are made team captains for the maxi challenge. [4]
For the maxi challenge the queens act in two scenes parodying Heritage Minutes , a series of Canadian television short films about people and events in Canada's history. Team Anastarzia, which includes Kiara, Lemon, Rita Baga, and Tynomi Banks, perform the scene "I Smell Burnt Tucks", a parody of the "burnt toast" Heritage Minute about Dr. Wilder Penfield.

On the runway the category is "Not My First Time in Drag" where the queens must recreate and elevate their first drag looks, with the original photo shown. BOA, Kiara, Kyne, Lemon, Priyanka, and Tynomi Banks are chosen as the best and worst performers of the week, with Lemon winning the challenge. [2]
