Travis Wall is a guest choreographer, and the juding panel includes RuPaul, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Todrick Hall. The episode has the final four contestants—Alaska, Detox, Katya, and Roxxxy Andrews—write, record, and perform original verses to RuPaul's song "Read U Wrote U" for the main challenge. After winning a three-way lip-sync to "If I Were Your Woman" by Gladys Knight & the Pips, Alaska wins the competition and Detox and Katya are runners-up.




Episode



At the beginning of the episode, Katya reveals that she would have sent home Roxxxy Andrews from the competition, had she won the lip-sync. Michelle Visage reveals the final challenge of the season, which requires the final four contestants to write, record, and perform their own verses to RuPaul's song "Read U Wrote U".
The contestants record their vocals with assistance from AB Soto. Separately, the contestants each meet with RuPaul and Visage to record interviews for the podcast RuPaul: What's the Tee? In the Werk Room, Alaska worries about being associated with Detox and Roxxxy Andrews as the clique "RoLaskaTox" (from the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race). On the main stage, the contestants rehearse with guest choreographer Travis Wall. Back in the Werk Room, the contestants prepare for the final runway and Alaska apologizes for her attitude.

On the main stage, RuPaul welcomes fellow judges Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Todrick Hall. The contestants perform "Read U Wrote U". The runway category is "All Star Glam-o-Rama". The contestants present their final looks and receive final critiques from the judges. RuPaul asks the contestants to say why they should be declared the winner and not their competitors. The judges excuse the contestants from the stage and deliberate. Roxxxy Andrews is eliminated, leaving Alaska, Detox, and Katya as the top three contestants of the season. They lip-sync to "If I Were Your Woman" (1970) by Gladys Knight & the Pips. Alaska wins the competition.
