Unfortunately, Windell was not able to compete on getting the materials leaving him with sinamay, the only thing he thought was workable. Enzo had difficulty using his materials since they were very hard to work with, making him change his design and start from scratch the following day. Celine and Vin redeemed their selves from the previous week; while Jared continued to impress the judges. The three were declared the top 3 of the week, and Celine was declared the winner of the challenge. Romell, Enzo, and Windell were declared the bottom 3, but only Romell was saved because of his techniques, sending Enzo and Windell home.
The designers are tasked to create an ensemble that takes inspiration from shoes. The twist is that they must outbid one another to be able to get the shoes they want. Each designer was able to get the shoes they want except from Jinggay who did not won any bid.

Jared, Romel, Aj & Joy took the highest scores but Romel was deemed the winner while Jinggay and Shieltz landed in the bottom two. The judges had hard time on deciding which designer will be saved; Shieltz for his safe yet good looking designs or Jinggay for her well-Tailored and clean yet boring clothes. In the end Shieltz was saved because of his design and Jinggay was sent packing.
The designers were brought into a resort. surprisingly, Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez is their client for the beach wear. They were brought to Carolina's Lace shop to pick their garments and fabrics. While their design is on progress, Jojie appeared, and told them to swap and switch places who ever is on their side and front. All the designers were shocked. Aj, who was one of the shocked designers got outside to catch some fresh air. Vin, Celine and Joy also had trouble redesigning the designs of the other designer. Aj is very positive about her design to be safe before the runway starts. After the tough deliberation, Maw and Shieltz were deemed safe. Romel, Jared and Justin got the highest scores. Despite Jared who continues to show great designs, Romel once again beat Jared. Immunity was also removed from next week, meaning all of them are in danger of elimination. Justin was also safe. Celine was also deemed safe even Apples told her that she keeps saying excuses. Joy, Vin and Aj landed in the bottom 3.

Both teams were praised by their mentor in the initial mentoring session. Vin struggled with time and other designers including Joy thought of Romel's garment as too simple.
In the runway, Jared's team (Team Father) outshined Romel's (Team Mother) and were therefore given immunity in the said challenge. Joy was praised for his ability to tone down his aesthetic and showing a very clean work. Shieltz and Maw were also given positive feedback. Jared was deemed the weakest link in the group but because their team won, he was saved from elimination.
Romel's team was criticised for seemingly having two different collections in the runway. Celine, though, was praised for having successfully finished her first pants and Justin was also praised for his look though given a few tips to improve his garment. Romel and Vin placed in the bottom. Romel for having a very simple and dated look and Vin for some technical problems in his garment. In the end, Romel was spared and Vin was sent home.
