12x05 - Gay's Anatomy

[bunniefuu]

[RuPaul] Previously on
RuPaul's Drag Race...

We are throwing a fashion ball, darling!

[queens cheer]

-[RuPaul] Brita.
-[Michelle] Is it corn, is it a pineapple?

It's a pineapple!

You did not execute your vision.

[RuPaul] Rock M. Sakura.

More, more, more is not right.
You do need to edit.

[RuPaul] Gigi Goode.

This look? Perfection.

Thank you so much.

Con-drag-ulations, you are the winner
of this week's challenge.

Brita, shantay, you stay.

[sighs deeply]

Rock M., sashay away.

[Rock sobbing]

[dramatic music playing]

Girl.

[Brita] We're back in the Werk Room,
I just survived a lip sync

and I have so many emotions.

I just hear Rock M.'s crying
and how badly she wanted this.

While other people did
the bare minimum and skated by again.

"To all of my special queens,
make sure you do

what I couldn't do.
Love yourself, respect yourself.

Rock M. Sakura Love you all, truly."

[queens] We love you, Rock M.!

When Rock turned the corner
and we could hear her crying,

[voice breaking] my heart broke.

Mine too, girl.

I went into that Werk Room for Untucked
thinking that I was, like, safe.

Honey, that shook me up.

My mind has changed, I'm like putting it
into full f*cking gear

because I'm Brita, bitch.

In New York, I'm always at the top
'cause I work so hard

and that's what makes it
so hard to be in the bottom.

I also think I don't belong in the bottom.

Oh, I gotta get these tears out of my eyes

because we do have to celebrate
Miss Gigi Goode.

[queens] Congrats, Gigi!

I am very, very happy that I won

the challenge that
I wanted to win the most.

-[Nicky] Yeah, and you deserve it.
-[Gigi] Thank you.

You're such an amazing designer.

Nicky, how are you feeling
about your critiques?

I feel happy because being praised
for what I've created

boost my ego and now I can allow myself

to be even more outside of
my comfort zone and just more goofy and--

You totally have that
goofy side to you, I've seen it already.

[Jan] You don't f*cking see it yet.

Next week I'm gonna
walk down runway as Quasimodo.

-Oh, my God.
-[queens laugh]

[Nicky] Week after week, I just feel

more and more... weakened.

I see them seeing something in Aiden.

They're like, "You're so special."

How can they see something
in her like that

and because I look polished,

I just don't have it.

[Jackie] Aiden,
how are you feeling right now?

I mean, I know up until tonight, like,

I haven't had anything
to go off of yet until tonight.

I really, honestly did think that
you'd probably be in the bottom.

[tense music playing]

Just solely based off, like, the looks.

They liked the look, they wanted more.

I wanted a very Bettie Page-esque look

and I didn't want to just start
stacking shit on just for the hell of it.

You cannot afford to make excuses
for yourself tonight.

Do the best or better
than you know you can do.

I didn't just sit back and think like,

"All right, I'm done, guys.
Who gives a shit?"

No.

Sis, you're taking naps
while all of us are working hard.

She literally just...

put balls on a corset.

The one thing they keep telling me is
I do have that uniqueness about me

and I just need to bring
that to the table, so...

yeah.

[dramatic music playing]

[Aiden] A lot of these girls thought

that I probably should have been in
the bottom two for the Ball challenge,

but I wasn't.

[Widow] Brita should have been safe.

[Heidi] And you're saying
Aiden should have gone home?

[Widow] Yes!

But I see a fire in her
and I feel like she might be--

[interrupts] You see a candle.

[Heidi whooping]

[Aiden] We're all
in this competition together

and we're all competing
for the same f*cking crown,

so I don't care what your background is

or what reputation you have,

if the judges aren't seeing
what they wanna see from you, then...

[dramatic music playing]

Bitch, bye.

[tires screeching]

[upbeat music playing]

[Gigi] Good morning.

[Sherry purring]

Team Missouri's in the house.

I woke up, I'm breathing.

That means it must be
a new day in the Werk Room.

[laughing]

Week five with no men,
how are y'all feeling?

[queens laughing]

Which one of us is the trade besides me?

[laughing]

I have deemed myself trade of the season

because I am the sexiest one in the room.

Here. And everywhere.

I think Jan would be trade
if she had her boybrows.

[queens whooping]

[Jaida] her boybrows.

[siren wailing]

[RuPaul] Ooh, girl.

She done already done had herses.

My queens.

-Hey.
-How's your head... ache?

Feeling a little sickening?

[coughs]

Well, get ready
to walk into this competition,

nurse first.

[queens cheer]

Hello, hello, hello.

[queens scream]

[Heidi] Hello, Doctor.

Ladies, I've been going over your charts.

I've got some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is...

Your pussies are on fire.

[queens exclaim]

The good news is there is no cure.

[queens laughing]

For this week's maxi challenge,
you need to overact

in the longest running drag queen
scripted show on TV.

A little medical drama we're calling...

-Gay's Anatomy.
-[heart monitor beeping]

[queens cheer]

I am so excited.
It's an acting challenge.

I am feeling confident.

I am ready to show them
everything that I learned

getting my BFA.

The script is filled with juicy roles.

From beloved doctor Meredith Gay,

to chief of staff Rhonda Shimes...

[queens laughing]

...to the patients
whose very lives hang in the balance.

The hardest part will be deciding

which role to assign to which queen.

If only there were a pill for that!

Oh! Wait a minute.

[sing-songy] Oh, Pit Crew!

[queens laugh and cheer]

Doctor, doctor.

-[Widow] Somebody check my temperature.
-[Jan] Nurse!

Nine of these eleven bottles

contain a silver pill.

A placebo with no power.

But two bottles contain a pink pill.

The two queens that choose a pink pill

will be in charge of
casting all the roles.

-[Jackie] Oh, my God!
-[Heidi] What?

Pit Crew, your patients await.

And, ladies, I'm sorry to inform you

there will be no a**l options.

[queens sigh disappointedly]

Perfect.

Breathe out.

-[breathes out and shudders]
-[queens laugh]

All right, ladies.
You may open your bottles.

These bottles are childproof,
which may prove difficult for some of you.

[Nicky gasps]

[Jackie] Oh, Nicky and Gigi.

Okay, Gigi.

[RuPaul] Nicky Doll and Gigi Goode,
you got the pink pills.

That means you are in charge of casting.

All right.

Choose wisely, girls.

Gentlemen, start your ambulances,

and may the best woman win.

I'm doctor Meredith Gay,

world famous for my surgical skills
and my bad taste in men.

Before any of the roles
were actually assigned, as a group,

we all looked through the script
to find out who

we are thinking we might like to play.

Okay, we all feel like we kind of
have an idea of what we want?

[Jackie] Yeah.

I want doctor Meredith Gay.

I think I wanna do
doctor Meredith Gay number two.

So there's two of you b*tches.

[Jackie] I don't understand
why Jan wants to be

Meredith number two.

Part of the comedy of the challenge is

for the two Merediths to look
very different. But whatever.

The sequels are never
good as the originals.

I like doctor Sandra Okurr.

-I'm thinking Mimi.
-[Gigi] Mimi?

I would like to play doctor Mother Gay.

[Jackie] Sherry'd be so good
as Mother in that wheelchair.

I would like to play Mother, too.

While you untuck backstage,

Nicky and I will

-go over and deliberate.
-Deliberate.

[queens] Okay.

[Jaida] Have fun.

Nicky and Gigi,
they're--they're sweet spirits.

I don't think they're
gonna sabotage a bitch.

But you never know, the sweet ones
are the ones you gotta look out for.

Doctor Tizzie Stepens will be moi .

What do you wanna play?

I think Baby is really iconic,

but he doesn't have a lot of lines.

But wouldn't it be cool
if you were able to get the Baby

with the smallest amount of lines
and, like, k*ll it.

Yes. For sure.

-Who did Widow want to play?
-Um, Mother.

I think it should be Sherry.

You feel comfortable giving a role
to Widow that she didn't pick?

Mm, I don't want to be that girl.

-Well, one of us will have to be.
-[Gigi laughs]

Henny, who wanted it?

[Nicky] Nobody picked her.

Aiden wanted Mimi Dearest.

Aiden doesn't really strike me
as somebody who is going to stand out.

Because there's a ghost,
and due to Aiden's personality,

-I think that could be a good idea.
-I agree.

All right, so. Are we ready to...

-Drop the b*mb?
-Yeah, I guess.

-[queens talking indistinctly]
-[Jaida] Oh, shit-- Hey...

Ladies, we have made some decisions.

Doctor Meredith Gay one was Jackie.

Yay.

Doctor Meredith Gay two was Jan.

-Doctor Sandra Okurr would be Brita.
-Yes!

Then, Henny will be played by Aiden.

Okay.

Are you happy with it?

Um...
I guess I'm gonna have to be, aren't I?

When we were deciding, we were like,
I think she could do good as a ghost.

-No, I mean, that's literally not a read.
-[queens laugh]

She's a bombshell with a liberal code
when it comes to sex and relationships.

She's the Mae West type.

Aiden, you know Mae West, right?

Um, probably not like you guys.

[queens exclaim]

How do you not know who Mae West is?

Call my lawyer.

For doctor Mother Gay we have Miss Sherry.

-[queens cheer]
-[Gigi] Obviously.

Then Mimi Dearest will be Widow.

I will be Baby Dearest.

-Word, baby.
-We'll be the family. [chuckles]

[sighs deeply]

These f*cking b*tches.

Does anybody have, like,
any qualms or issues

-or anything with their role?
-Yes.

How are you feeling
about Mimi Dearest, Widow?

'Cause you don't seem to be super happy.

Well, just like Aiden said,
we don't really have a choice.

Let's do it.

[Aiden] I didn't get the role

I wanted either,
but at the end of the day,

you just have to
suck it up and make it work.

Would she rather Henny?

Nah, I can do Mimi, it's fine.

Would you rather be Henny or Mimi?

I can do Mimi, it's fine.

[Gigi] All right, everybody good?

[Jackie] Get to highlighting
and memorizing.

Memorize your lines.

Child, I feel like this is
about to be a shitshow.

[Crystal] I'm excited
to see you as a ghost.

Boo!

[Heidi] This week's maxi challenge
is to overact

in a medical drama called...

[gasps]

[dramatically] Gay's Anatomy .

Good times.

The last acting challenge
was improv and I did very well.

And I'm feeling hungry for a win.

We should figure out what line
we're gonna say to each other

'cause even if it's an improv,
it would be nice that we know

what choice of story we taking.

That didn't work last time we did improv.

-Hmm?
-That didn't work last time we did improv.

-Jackson. O--
-And this is our friend Squirelly.

-[Nicky] That's what I'm saying,
so we should rehears

the line we're gonna say
during the argument.

Then we can deliver something
that is still planned in our head.

[Widow] All right.

All right.

[whimsical music playing]

I definitely regret picking Widow
for the role of Mimi Dearest

because, without realizing it,

I've put myself in the exact same position

of the improv challenge.

But I didn't know that she would be moody.

That's the thing, she's--

she's so unpredictable,
you never know what you're gonna get.

[Gigi] You bitch!

Ladies, listen. I don't see why we can't
all work something out. [chuckles]

Boo.

[Brita] Aiden was probably
the weakest link in the improv challenge,

and this time,
all of Aiden's scenes are with me.

Since we were both
in the bottom last week, that...

we really just gotta bring it.

-We got something to prove.
-That's right. No, definitely.

I don't wanna babysit Aiden.

But, like, is she gonna
rise to the occasion

is she gonna come out of her shell
with this role? I don't know.

Hey, squirrel friends.

-[queens cheering]
-Hello!

Is there a doctor in the house?

[Heidi] All the time.

Well hello, thesbians.

[queens] Hello.

Look at that El Debarge hairdo.

That is the most beautiful hairdo
I have ever seen in my entire life.

-Thank you so much.
-[both laugh]

Jackie Cox, you have
an acting background, is that right?

I do and a little bit of
a medical background.

My mom's dream for me was
to be a doctor, like every Persian mother.

-[RuPaul] Yes.
-So, in high school,

she got me a job
collecting the stool samples

of patients to bring to her lab.

-How sweet of her.
-[queens laughing]

Are you playing a doctor?

I am the doctor Meredith Gay.

[RuPaul] This is your opportunity

to make your mother very proud.

-Now, Brita...
-You Brita work!

Uh-huh, and you got
something to prove too,

'cause your ass was
in the bottom last week.

-Yeah, I sure was.
-Yeah, so how you gonna infuse

"you Brita work" into this challenge?

I'm really excited.
I come from a theater background, so

I'm excited to put, like,

-different affectations with my voice...
-[RuPaul] Yes. Yeah.

...and just see what really lands

to make it work, Brita work.

Have fun with it.
'Cause if you're having fun with this,

we, the audience, will have fun with it.

-[RuPaul] Aiden.
-[Mae West voice] Oh.

-Here we are-- Oh.
-Well, hello.

-Well, hello.
-[both laugh]

They cast you as a ghost.
Is that a little subtle shade?

It might be.

So, if I would ask your parents,

"Was Aiden a shy little boy always?"

They would tell you no.

-They would say no?
-[Aiden] They would say no.

-[RuPaul] Okay.
-This competition has been

very weird for me
and totally out of my element.

I never heard that before.

[queens laugh]

[RuPaul] That is so--
This is out of your element?

Well, I'm saying
compared to some of the girls

who come from very, like, big cities

and are used to, you know,
being around a lot of girls all the time.

No they're not, no.
This is a unique situation.

I bet all of you would
probably say the same thing,

-is that-- am I correct?
-Child, down.

Yeah. I don't know
what you're afraid of...

-[laughs]
-But you just go two steps further.

Just come out of that shell!

Ohh.

[RuPaul] Yeah.

You cannot constantly,
every challenge say,

"Well, I'm not from
a big city like the other girls,"

or, "I'm not from a big city."

You have to, at some point,
step up to the plate because

this is not RuPaul's Excuse Race.

-Hi, ladies.
-Hello.

[RuPaul] Nicky and Gigi,

did you take into consideration
what the girls were good at

or did you wanna sabotage them?

[Nicky] I feel like we didn't try
to sabotage anyone.

We heard everyone's wishes

and then we tried to accommodate everyone.

I mean, some girls got roles
that they didn't initially want.

Which girls were upset
by the roles they got?

I could kind of see that
Widow was a little upset

that she didn't get
the character that she wanted.

You wanted to play Blac Chyna,
is that right?

[queens laughing]

So, you were not happy with your role?

I mean, I wanted to play
something a little more serious.

-This is a serious role?
-For me it is.

You wanted to play
something a little more serious?

On RuPaul's Drag Race ?

[queens laughing]

-What role did you have in mind?
-I wanted to play Mother.

[RuPaul] What role do you have?

-Mimi Dearest.
-[RuPaul] Okay.

[Widow] I just kind of feel that that's

just... playing Mimi Dearest
as a role that I've--

seem to kind of fallen into.

Like, I picked the drug role last time
when we did the acting challenge.

It seems like I'm playing another,
like, almost similar role.

Yeah. Well, you can
interpret the role however you want.

So, now, Nicky Doll.
In the improv challenge...

-[Nicky] Mm-hmm.
-You wound up in the bottom.

Yup.

How are you gonna make sure
you're not in the bottom this time?

I picked a role that is very different
than what I would do usually.

What role did you get?

I'm the Baby.

Will your baby speak French?

-Well, we do not know the dad.
-Yeah.

So I could always have
a little French accent here and there.

Yeah. It's a little literal.

Give it your all. Push yourself, you know.

All right, kids,
I cannot wait to see this.

This is a make or break challenge,

and this is also a star-making challenge.

See you out there.

-Thank you.
-Thanks.

[Crystal] Bye.

[nervously] Okay.

-Oh, wow.
-We got work to do, ladies.

[Nicky] Yup.

[electronic music playing]

Welcome, ladies.

Hi.

It's time to sh**t
our Gay's Anatomy scenes

and Carson will be directing us.

Aiden and I were both
in the bottom last week

so both of us have a lot to prove.

We may not be best friends,

but we're gonna be g*dd*mn
best friends in this scene, honey.

Today I'm looking for over the top

acting, drama,

romance,

and catheters if you have one.

[laughing]

Okay, so, first scene. Places, ladies.

Time is money, chop, chop.

Action.

Doctor Meredith Gay?

There's an a**l-phylactic shock
in room one.

Doctor Tizzie Stevens, there's a

diverdickulitis in room two.

Cut. Let's go back.

Jaida, don't think about it.
We've got an analphylactic shock.

We've got a da da da da.

Just keep that rhythm moving.

-Okay.
-Action.

There's... a d*ck-- diverdickulitis.

Cut.

Oh, child. [laughing]

Let's go back to one.

-[Sherry] Breathe, girl.
-Huh?

[Sherry] Breathe. You got it.

[Jaida] When you think
that on the first try

that you shuold get it perfect
and that does not happen...

There's an a**l--

[Jaida] You're just like
a deer in headlights.

[Carson] Right.

All right, let's move on.

So, Meredith, girl.
How's it going with your drag mom?

Gosh! I wish my mother had survived
a near-fatal tucking accident.

-[laughing]
-[Jackie] Tizzie, you're not well.

And you're sick and...

why did you bring a cat to a hospital?

-Cut.
-Nipples?

[Carson] Let's go back.

Jackie, your line is,
"Tizze, you're sick and you need help."

Thank you.

And, um, Gigi, that was perfect.

[Jackie] When I walked
into this competition,

I thought of Gigi as just a fashion queen.

And she's been serving it
in the performance challenges, too,

which... makes her quite the threat.

[Carson] Moving on.

I told you to go on eight.

Five, six, seven, eight, b*tches.

You're the one that wanted to do
a "Fork the Pain Away" number.

Fork you!

Why is it always about utensils with you?

And cut. It's totally like Hamlet.

Minus the "let", just the "ham".

Let's move on.

[Carson] Can't wait
to meet the new Meredith.

And action.

[screaming]

Who am I?

Oh, hey, Meredith.

-[laughing]
-Mother? You recognize me?

I've had a full face transplant.

Can we talk about me now?

[laughing]

What do you think? I was thinking about
wearing the ring on the other finger.

I don't know. It's looking a little big.

[laughing]

m*therf*cking Sherry Pie.

That's my role.

The pressure's on.

How could I be having a baby?

-[Gigi] Oh!
-I'm a drag queen!

[Gigi] Oh, I think I see the head.

[screaming]

[laughing]

[in deep voice] Get this baby out of me.

[laughing]

[Gigi] It's a b*mb!

Actually, it's a glitter b*mb.

I swallowed that at the white party
a couple of months ago.

-[Widow and Jackie laughing]
-[Carson laughing]

[Heidi] Widow is doing very well.

Overall, she delivered.

Literally 'cause she was pregnant.

[Heidi laughing]

If that doesn't make it in,
there's a problem. That was gold.

[Carson] And cut.

Widow, your thing about
the white party was genius.

Okay, baby and mother insert scene.

We're gonna bring in
the special effects experts.

Thank you for your patients .

That was a hospital joke, too.

[laughing]

Action.

Oh, fierce. Her visage looks snatched.

Werk, doctor Bitch.

I knew I should've swallowed
your mothertuckin' ass.

I'm about to shove up my baby
little egg-- in you-- sorry.

I'm about to shove up
my baby ass in your long-- sorry.

Do I really gotta put up
with this damn baby for 18 years?

[speaking French]

Speak some more French,
Nicky, that's great.

I can leave this baby
here at the hospital, right?

[Jackie] There's moments when
Nicky and Widow have to improv

and Nicky kind of loses scene
halfway through and gives up.

[Carson] Moving on.

Are we ready to roll?

Yes, ma'am.

Aiden, are you in character?
Are you dead or are you alive?

Oh, I'm alive.

Okay. Action.

[nasally] Ohh.

Hello, doctor Okurr.

Why don't you come up and IV me sometime?

Got any good news for me?

Oh, sorry.

[sighs deeply]

Ohh.

Hello, doctor Okurr.

Why don't you come up and IV me sometime?

Just as I suspected. RAS.

And cut.

Aiden, it was a little tentative

and it just seemed like maybe you
weren't confident with your lines.

-Just be a little bit looser with it.
-Yup.

And then, Brita-- RAS.

Instead of being an excited lover,

you have a moment where you
become a doctor again.

Just as I suspected.

[slowly] RAS.

Okay, thank you.

Action.

Ohh, hello doctor Okurr.

Why don't you come up
and IV me sometime, huh?

Just as I suspected.

R...

A...

S!

I am trying not to lose focus,

but it's definitely difficult because

Brita can spit when she talks.

[slow-mo] Affectations.

I said talk like a dog, woof.

The whole scene was just facefulls.

That big mouth has a lot of spit.

-Puppy, puppy.
-[Carson] And cut.

Aiden, you nailed it,

you took all those notes,
that was perfect.

Um, and then Brita.

It's...

comma

R... A... S.

Comma.

I guess I need to
show Carson more... range?

Brita, act like you've noticed she's quiet
and say, "What's going on, honey?

Why you so quiet?"

I'm going above and beyond.

It's one thing to
just lay there and for me to

carry it to the finish line.

I mean, it's pretty easy to play dead.
Um... [laughs]

All right, that's a wrap, ladies.

We won't know what we have
until we see the final edit,

but we will watch that
on the main stage tomorrow.

[Heidi] I think we're all feeling
really good about the challenge.

I mean, I feel un-forking-believable.

[laughs] But I can just tell something's
coming to f*ck all that shit up.

[upbeat music playing]

I am Aiden Zhane
and I have one thing to say.

Boo!

-Boo.
-Boo.

All right, b*tches.
It's another elimination day.

And somebody's going home.

[Sherry] How do we all
feel about the challenge?

-[Heidi] Good.
-[Jackie] Do you think

people dropping lines
is gonna be a factor at all?

'Cause there were some folks
who were dropping some lines.

[Jaida] Yeah, bitch, look.

-I'm just sayin'.
-[Jaida] Imma tell you this much.

Jackie trying to
stir the shit this morning.

[Jaida] Overall I felt like it was cute

and it came together at the end,
but I know at the beginning I like...

psyched myself out a little bit
and then maybe

you never know if that will be the thing
that can put you in the bottom.

'Cause everybody was so good.

I think that they're gonna be
really nitpicky about everything.

[Nicky] I'm happy with my performance.

And because they want me
to show personality,

I just hope that this is gonna be enough.

Oh, so you think that you're gonna
always have just like

a stuck up, cold, French bitch

that only focus about make up and glamour?

[wailing]

Bitch I covered all my teeth in black
to have only one showing as a baby.

Who's glamorous?

And you know, one of the biggest struggle
that I had since I arrived here is that

-this is an American competition show...
-Yeah.

So the fact that I'm struggling
on some stuff that you guys

are not even struggling with,

it makes me feel like,
you shouldn't even be here.

You shouldn't even be here.
You're struggling with the language,

You're taking someone's spot.

[Gigi] You have to set all of that aside.

I wish I could just
climb inside your brain and just

alleviate you of all of that.

I have worked so hard for this
and I have so much to offer

that I have to live in the moment

and not let the saboteur really take over

and--and try to shut down
those voices in my head.

-[Jan] Sherry.
-Yes?

Your mother character, was it based off of
any of your real-life mother figures?

[Sherry] Um, not really.

Like, my real mom is a hardcore
supportive showbiz mom.

I love my mom, you know?

[Jackie] Um, my mom...

All that ever mattered to her,
like so many immigrant families,

is, you move to this country because
you want your kids to have a better life.

And for her, that meant education,

that meant getting a good job,

doing something respectable.

For so long, my mom...

was just against every choice,
every instinct I had.

Like, I didn't want to be a doctor.

All I wanted to do was sing and dance.

I never got to take dance classes
'cause she didn't think that

that was something that boys should do.

She doesn't even know I do drag.

For so much of my life,

I was never enough

for my mom...

For the expectations I put on myself.

I'm terrified that she's gonna see this
and it's gonna be, like,

all her worst nightmares
about me came true because...

I'm not what she dreamed I would be.

Well, the thing about that is
is that success is success

and she can see this and she sees

that what you decided to do with your life

led you to a way where you can take care
of yourself and you can be happy.

That's usually what parents want for us,

and sometimes they just think
they know what's best.

Sometimes they just
have to see it lived out

and see the reality of what it really is.

[Jackie] I can't allow
her disapproval to define me.

So I hope when she sees this,

she'll know that this is
what's made me happy.

And that I want her...

to understand that part of me.

[Jaida] We've chosen the right career

and we do actually know
what's good for us.

[Heidi] Widow, how-- how are you feeling?

Um, talking about moms
has always been super hard for me.

[Heidi] Mm-hmm.

Um, my mom died in a car crash
when I was 17.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

And just knowing that she never
is gonna have the chance to see me...

you know, live this dream

and be who I am and finally come out.

[sniffles] And I have
no relationship with family.

Like no one knows I'm married in my
family, no one knows that I'm even here.

I never got to come out to her,
I never got to talk to her, never...

And we had an argument the day she died

and I never got to, like, mend that.

I stormed out of the house
and I left with my friends, and...

The next thing I know,
the police are knocking on the door and...

they say, "Your mother
passed away in a car crash."

And it felt like
everything just went silent.

[sighs deeply]

-[Heidi] Aw...
-[Widow sobbing]

I understand, I understand.

No one is ever gonna take her place,

but you have people who are
here for you and care for you

and want to see you do amazing.

-And you're gonna make them proud.
-I just wish that, you know...

-[Heidi] Already have.
-That I had the chance.

-I wish.
-[Heidi] Of course.

'Cause I know that she'd be
the biggest f*ckin' supporter,

-rootin' for me so much.
-[Heidi] Okay, honey, it's okay.

[Jan] But she's watching over you.

[sighs deeply]

f*cking shit,
and I said I wasn't gonna cry.

[laughing]

[Nicky] I understand now more in depth

why Widow is so unpredictable.

A loss of such an important figure
that is your mother

can really affect you
for the rest of your life.

Heal, y'all m*therf*ckers, okay?
Heal, b*tches.

[laughing]

Heal and paint.
We got a runway to get on, bitch.

[Jan] Okay, Rhonda Shimes.

[laughing]

-Girl!
-She knew them lines!

[queens whooping]

Shady bitch.

[upbeat music playing]

[judges clapping]

Welcome to the main stage
of RuPaul's Drag Race .

Now available without
a prescription, Michelle Visage.

Yes, baby. Available now
under the counter.

[laughs]

[RuPaul] Style superstar Carson Kressley.

How many fingers am I holding up?

Oh, I--I just see a fist.

[laughing]

Well, you would know.

And the stunning Normani.
How are you feeling?

Ru, I got a bad case of loving you

and, honey, there ain't no cure.

[laughing]

This week
we challenged our queens to overact

on the all-drag medical drama

Gay's Anatomy.

And tonight on the runway,

the category is...

Planet of the Capes.

[judges laughing]

Gentlemen, start your engines,

and may the best woman...

win!

["Superstar" by RuPaul playing]

[RuPaul] Category is...

Planet of the Capes.

First up, Jaida Essence Hall.

[Normani] Ooh, she's so beat.

[RuPaul] Oh, Carly Fixated if you ask me.

[judges laughing]

[Jaida] I have these
overdramatic shoulders.

Miss Jaida is feeling
her full Jimmy Neutron fantasy.

[Carson] You know, if you got
a hump, put some glitter on it.

[RuPaul and Michelle laughing]

[RuPaul] Brita.

[Michelle] The return of Booborella.

[Carson laughing]

-[whip crack]
-[judges exclaim]

[Brita] Little Red Riding Hood
ain't so little anymore, bitch.

She is serving you a light cape

'cause she's a girl on the go

and she cannot be
weighed down by a heavy cape.

[Carson] I've heard of assless chaps,

but not assless trumpet skirts.

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Jackie Cox.

[Normani] Ooh, she feelin' herself.

[laughter]

[Jackie] I'm serving a mysterious
dancer of the Middle East

with a beautiful headpiece

that is serving the third eye
to ward off evil spirits.

[Michelle] If you can't
beat 'em, harem.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Simply, Jan.

[Carson] I've heard
of parachute pants, but--

[Michelle] Oh, my God, no.

Don't jump!

[Jan] I would never skydive,

so the only opportunity that I'm gonna get

is to do it on the runway.

I have my rhinestoned glasses on
to protect my eyes.

I think my look is k*ller.

[Carson] Her modelling career
hasn't really taken off.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Gigi Goode.

It's cookie time.

[laughter]

[Gigi] Good morning, campers.

I've taken inspiration
from Troop Beverly Hills.

Yeah, I wanna look like I was tricked
into becoming a Girl Scout leader.

Get these cookies.

[RuPaul] Shake the man's hand, daddy,

and we're on our way.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Up next, Sherry Pie.

[Michelle] Peanut butter and banana pie.

[laughter]

[Sherry] I am giving you the King,

aka the Queen.

I am living

and when I open up that cape,

there is nothing more
American than pie and Elvis.

[Carson] She just gave us all the bird.

[laughter]

[Normani] Viva Drag Vegas.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Heidi.

[Michelle] If you like it,
then you better put a wing on it.

[RuPaul laughing]

[Heidi] I'm floatin' down
this runway wings open.

Mouth open wide, just glowing with pride.

That kind of rhymed.

Okay, take my poetry, honey.

[RuPaul] Oh, I'm in the mood
for some hot wings.

[Michelle laughing]

[RuPaul] Crystal Methyd.

[Michelle] Frida Cape-lo.

[Crystal] I am bringing the sunshine.

I look like a tropical princess.

I have flowers in my hair
and chunky jewelry.

My make up is a little bit more natural
than the judges have seen before.

[RuPaul] Ladies and gentlemen,
Rita Coolidge.

[laughter]

[RuPaul] Aiden Zhane.

Silence of the Liza.

[Michelle laughing]

Oh, you've got something on your--

[RuPaul laughing]

[Aiden] I am living my
Silence of the Lambs horror fantasy.

The cape I am wearing is actually

inspired by a cape scene
in Buffalo Bill's basement in the movie.

[Michelle] Put the lotion in the basket!

[laughing]

[RuPaul] The Widow Von'Du.

[Widow] My cape is
inspired by a watermelon

because watermelons are juicy.

And, oh, surprise, b*tches!

[judges exclaim]

[Widow] You got some titties!

My cape is breezing in the wind.

You know it and I know it,
that you lookin' good.

[Michelle] Janet Jackson's
having some PTSD right now.

[laughter]

[Carson] I liked all her
melonin up in here.

[Michelle laughing]

[RuPaul] Nicky Doll.

-[RuPaul] Ohh.
-[Michelle] You grrr.

[Nicky] I'm giving you 90s Mugler
meets Joan of Arc,

one of the most iconic women
in French history.

Thierry Mugler is one of my
favourite designers of all time

and I'm living for it.

[Carson] She's obviously
been doing some reflecting.

[RuPaul] Yes, she has.

[Normani] Bustier, you stay.

[RuPaul laughing]

[RuPaul] Welcome, ladies.

It's time to tune in to Gay's Anatomy .

[serious music playing]

[whimsical music playing]

[Jackie] I'm doctor Meredith Gay,

world famous for my surgical skills

and my bad taste in men.

Oh, sorry.

You think working at Lady Bunny
Memorial Hospital for 69 seasons...

I mean years.
...I'd be bored.

But, honey, thanks to our boss bitch

Rhonda Shimes,
there's never a dull moment.

Doctor Meredith Gay?

There's an a**l-phylactic shock
in room one.

Ooh.

Doctor Tizzie Stevens,

there's a diverdickulitis in room two.

Doctor Sandra Okurr,

there's ten homatomas in the waiting room.

Get your asses out there.

[grunts]

So, Meredith.

How's it going with your drag mom?

Well, things haven't been the same since--

Ever since her near-fatal
tucking accident last summer?

I wish my mother had survived
a near-fatal tucking accident.

[sighs]

-[Gigi] She's coming!
-[Sherry coughing]

[judges laughing]

Good morning, mother!

What's good about it?

Every day I can't shablam
is a living hell.

Why didn't you pull the plug
when you had the chance?

Because you weren't
on life support, mother.

[judges laughing]

Doctor Meredith, meet me
in the supply closet.

I have to go.

[cat meowing]

Nipples? What'd you say?

You wish somebody would
McBang me in the supply closet?

You really get me.

[judges laughing]

[Jackie] Like all strong women,

we've all struggled with love, loss

and being a whore.

Ohh,

Doctor Okurr.

Why don't you come up
and IV me sometime, huh?

Just as I suspected.

Ohh.

It's R... A... S.

Restless Ass Syndrome.

Ohh.

There is no cure. [sobbing]

Oh, honey, I love you.

We're gonna beat this thing.

That's medically impossible, but... okay.

[kissing]

Wait!

I wanna remember this moment forever.

Let's take a selfie.

Oh, God, my battery's at one percent.

God, and look who's hogging
all the outlets, huh?

-[Aiden gasping]
-[machine flatlining]

Look, I put puppy dog ears on us.

[judges laughing]

Say woof! Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.

[laughs]

Henny? [wailing] Henny!

[Jackie] Luckily, we all have
massive malpractice policies,

but the one thing you can't buy
an insurance policy for

is a broken heart.

-[siren beeping]
-Code pink! Code pink!

Not another octotsunami.

That's the third one this season.

[Widow screaming]

I'm not fat, you idiot.

I'm pregnant.

Get this damn thing off me!

Ten, ten, tentacles across the board!

[screaming]

How could I be having a baby?

I'm a drag queen!

When you've been here for 673 episodes--

I mean weeks.

You've seen everything.

Oh, I think I see the head.

[screaming]

It's not a baby.

It's a b*mb!

[tense music playing]

Actually, it's a glitter b*mb.

I swallowed that at the white party.

[laughing]

I'm just going to have to hold this
glitter b*mb perfectly steady...

...in one hand...

while I deliver the baby with the other.

[screaming]

[both screaming]

[scream echoes]

Meet your baby.

Ooh, sacré bleu,

it smells like balls
and weak glue in here.

Whose boob do I have to suck
to get a little milk in here?

You better shut up, you loud-ass baby.

Oh, you ain't even seen loud yet.

[speaking French]

What the hell does that even mean?

Whore!

Mm-hmm. You're right.

The miracle of life!

I need a hug.

No, don't touch me
or the b*mb will explode!

-[screaming]
-[expl*si*n]

[Gigi] Meredith!

She needs a face transplant, stat!

[Widow wails]

[Jackie] Some days
at this job, you can feel like...

[Jan] ...a totally different person.

[Brita]
Meredith, the face transplant went well.

Let's take a look at your new face.
[gasps]

Oh, my God.

[screaming]

Oh, hello, Meredith.

Mother, you recognize me?

What, you look different?

I've had a full face transplant.

I don't see it.

Can we talk about me now?

Do you think that this makes me look fat?

-[judges laughing]
-[screaming]

I like that it covers up my chin,

but it might, you know, add too much chin.

-[judges laughing]
-[screaming]

It's my knees, isn't it?

[screaming]

Listen, I don't think they're that bad.

[judges laughing]

Oh, fierce.

Her visage looks snatched.

Do I really gotta put up
with this damn baby for 18 years?

[speaking French]

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

[baby wailing]

[Jan] And you never forget
those really tough cases.

I told you to go on eight.

Five, six, seven, eight, b*tches.

Who goes on... seven?

You're the one that wanted to do
a "Fork the Pain Away" number.

I wanted to do "Since You've Been Flan"

and pop out of a giant vat of custard.

That wouldn't have hurt at all.

It would've hurt artistically.

Fork you.

No, fork you.

You two!

Get your forkin' asses down to
the operating room before you bleed out.

All right?

Go!

[judges laughing]

[Jan] Sometimes we get
too emotionally involved

and our patients come back to haunt us.

-[sobbing]
-[Aiden] Oh, hey, Doc.

Is that an epi-pen in your pocket
or are you just happy to see me?

-Ohh.
-I thought you were dead!

-Ohh.
-You're a ghost?

Boo! [laughs]

You ever had... spooky sex?

[vocalizing and laughing seductively]

[Jan] And sometimes,
our cases give us separation anxiety.

I don't think we can save them both.

What do you mean?

If we remove the fork,
only one of them will survive.

[Jan] There's only one person I know

with the special skills
to save both of these queens.

And she'd never do it.

I'd never do what?

Mother!

I have been selfish and depressed.

-And as my therapist--
-Mom, we don't have a lot of time.

All right. Let's save these sluts.

[screaming]

[Jan] Own it!

If you've got a hump,
put some glitter on it.

I really think this
could help our marketing.

Mouth Dakota and Allybama.

They're un-forking-believable.

[Sherry] Yes. [laughing]

-Thank you, doctors.
-See you soon.

[sighs] Mom,

if you'd like to apologize
for a lifetime full of bad parenting,

I'm all ears.

What? Oh, yes.

My meds wore off, so, um...

I'm back to treating you like shit.

And put some make up on,
you look horrible.

[judges laughing]

♪ Can't stop time ♪

[Jan] Life in a hospital
can be truly sickening.

[judges laughing]

There's no shortage of emergencies.

[Jan] Or love.

[sighs nervously]

[Jan] Or family.

If I drop this baby,
is anybody gon' be mad?

[Jan] But one thing's for sure.

There are moments you'll never forget.

You know, I told you
to put a little make up on.

Maybe McFlurry wouldn't have
left you if you didn't look-- [screaming]

[cat meows]

[Jan] No matter how hard you try.

[Jan laughing]

[judges laughing and clapping]

[RuPaul] I think I smell a Peabody.

Oh, wait a minute. That's just Carson.

[Michelle exclaims]

[RuPaul] Ladies, each of you

did an amazing job
with this week's challenge.

And you've made it
very difficult for the judges.

When I call your name,
please step forward.

Jan.

Widow Von'Du.

Jackie Cox.

Sherry Pie.

Gigi Goode.

Aiden Zhane.

You are all nominated
for outstanding performance

by a drag queen in a medical drama.

[queens cheer]

But one of you delivered a performance

that gave us [echoing] life.

The winner of this week's challenge is...

Sherry Pie.

[clapping]

Con-drag-ulations,

you've won a cash prize of $5,000.

Thank you.

Ladies, you may leave the stage.

[tense music playing]

Ladies, you all gave
memorable performances,

but you were slightly overshadowed

by the queens that just exited the stage.

Unfortunately, it's our task

to decide who should go home this week.

And now it's time
for the judges' critiques.

Up first, Jaida Essence Hall.

[Carson] Even though
you needed the most direction,

what we saw in the finished piece
actually kind of worked.

The issue with me was,

I could see you saying
and remembering the words.

-Mm-hmm.
-[Michelle] And you did.

There's ten homatomas in the waiting room.

[Michelle] But, because you were
trying so hard not to miss a line,

you missed the jokes.

Your look today
is absolutely fierce.

Thank you.

-I might steal it.
-[RuPaul laughs]

If you want it, you can have it.

[laughs]

[Carson] I love the silhouette
with the extreme shoulder,

that Mars att*cks,
Bride of Frankenstein hair.

[Normani] Yeah.

It's giving me
Halle Berry in B.A.P.S. vibes

- B.A.P.S., I love it.
-Thank you.

Up next, Brita.

Tonight on the runway,
I'm gonna compliment your body shape

because you just do it so well.

But I am never a fan of chaps.

I think it's very nightclubby.

-That really chaps your ass, doesn't it?
-It chaps my ass, Carson.

I would have made the cape
a bit more of a statement piece.

Mm-hmmm.

If the challenge is cape, give us a cape.

[Carson] In the acting challenge,
you were very, very consistent,

but still, might have been nicer
to see some different highs and lows.

Okay.

You kind of got stuck doing one thing.

We wanna see you take her

and give her as much meat as you can.

[RuPaul] Up next, Heidi...

N Seeky.

[laughing]

Just trying new things, you know.

Sitting here watching you,
you look like a young Diana Ross tonight.

Thank you.

Uh, we're gonna talk about
your performance in Gay's Anatomy .

I am a greedy, greedy-ass bottom at times

and I always want more. More, more, more.

-Same.
-[laughing]

[Michelle] They say there are
no small parts, only small actors

but there were moments
where I know you could have

gone for it.

When you're about to be sawed in half,

and you started screaming
and getting hysterical,

just needed more of that throughout

to make that smaller part
really memorable.

Unfork-unately,
I didn't love this runway look.

I almost feel like I'm looking
at two different outfits.

This is totally disconnected,
'cause underneath,

there's glamorous dominatrix feel

and then the hair's kind of
a different era than the outfit is.

It just doesn't quite make sense.

[RuPaul] Up next, Crystal Methyd.

I think you guys together, pretty magical.

I've been asked to direct
Human Centipede 4

and I'm gonna call both of you.

[laughing]

[Carson] You were able to
layer on some nuances

like the physical comedy.

When Heidi would push down the fork,
you would pop up in the back.

That's great stuff.

I haven't gotten the chance to talk to you
since you switched up your make up.

-Crystal, it's so beautiful.
-Thank you.

When you did that kind of clowny stuff,

it was almost muddy-looking.

Your artistry now
is much more crisp and clear.

Your outfit is beautiful
and you're giving me Moana vibes.

You look like a Polynesian queen.

It's really gorgeous.

Those boots, however,
have no place in this outfit.

I'm sorry.

[screaming]

[judges laughing]

Up next, Nicky Doll.

So, in Gay's Anatomy , you actually
had the role that I would want.

'Cause it's so ridiculous.

[baby wailing]

[Michelle] And I will give you credit
for trying to work the French in.

Ooh, sacré bleu...

But you definitely could've
taken that so much further than you did.

[Carson] You had the right attitude,

and you were going down the right path.

I just wanted you to do more with

this super funny drag baby.

That's why I picked it, because it was
so over the top and ridiculous.

Because I know that
you've been calling me out a lot

on not showing my quirky side.

[RuPaul] You did a good job.

It's a-- really gets down to

minor details at this point.

[Michelle] Tonight on the runway,

this Mugleresque outfit is beautiful.

It's giving me Beyoncé "Sweet Dreams."

[RuPaul] Right.

But the outfit is really about a cape.

And for me, that cloak moment.

I wish you would've kept it on longer,
because, really that's the cape.

'Cause that is
a piece of fabric on your back.

[RuPaul] Now, with all due respect,

you judges have done a rotten job

of helping me make my decision.

So, I wanna ask my girls.

Ladies,

who should go home tonight...

and why?

Uh-oh.

[RuPaul] We'll start with Jaida.

Oh, child.

I would just have to say Heidi because

because the runway look
could've been stepped up.

[RuPaul] Brita, same question.

The character that I didn't
really understand that well

out of all the girls' was Nicky's.

[RuPaul] All right, Heidi.

[sighs deeply]

I feel like the girl
who has struggled the most is Nicky.

[RuPaul] All right, Crystal Methyd.

I'd have to say Nicky.

I love you.

[RuPaul] Nicky Doll,

what say you?

Due to the challenge, I would say myself.

I do believe that I could have been able
to be wittier in my own language.

I have to translate what you say--

All right, so if it wasn't
you that you choose,

which of these other girls
would you choose?

Um, only due to the runway,

I would have to say Heidi.

All right, ladies.

Thank you for your honesty.

I think we've heard enough.

Now, while you untuck backstage,

the judges and I will deliberate.

All right, just between us
squirrel friends,

what do you think?

Jaida Essence Hall.

Jaida in Gay's Anatomy,

I think it was a job well done.

I do, however, think all of those jokes

that came careening at us,

she didn't really understand any of them.

Like homatoma?

I'm not sure she knew what a hematoma was,

so that's why a homatoma
wouldn't be funny to her.

[Carson] The runway look
I actually really loved, so...

I kind of just wanna see
more and more and more.

[RuPaul] Brita, please.

[Carson] Brita as Sandra Okurr...

[laughs]

...she was very prepared.

But I think that there is
such thing as overpreparing

because it takes away

-the spontaneous moments.
-The spontaneity, yeah.

It felt a little bit flat.

[Michelle] And guys,
this is a cape challenge.

She was wearing a negligee.

I don't mind that
it was lighter in contrast to

the heavy fabric, but it wasn't
enough of a cape for me to go,

"Oh, that outfit's about a cape."
No, that outfit was about the bodysuit.

[RuPaul] Heidi.

[Michelle] Tonight on the runway
was probably my least favorite.

She had a disco dominatrix underneath

and on top just rainbow colors

with the Bob Mackie sticks.

I think what she really needed to do
was just hone in on one idea.

I think maybe her sensibility
is not yet fully developed,

but she's so likeable.

You just wanna root for her all the time.

[RuPaul] Crystal Methyd.

She had such a good time
in that challenge with Heidi.

They were really connected.

[Michelle] They were
really connected, Carson.

Tonight on the runway,

I thought this was
really pretty for Crystal

because we've ween her look so weird.

I think the thing about Crystal is that

we didn't know
if she was gonna be a one trick pony

when I saw her walk that first runway.

And she's been changing it up.

Normani,
when you see her out of drag,

she has this El Debarge mullet.

♪ To the beat of the rhythm of the night ♪

-Oh.
-That is so captivating,

the only thing missing
is some Jerry Curl Juice.

Yeah.

[RuPaul] Nicky Doll.

When I first saw the drag queen baby,

I thought this is a perfect way
for Nicky to show us

her kookiness.

Show us what you say you are.

And then it went...

nowhere.

[Carson] Even on the runway, it felt
like she had quit a little bit early.

[Michelle] She just
did the reveal too quickly.

And then she walked,
but it just didn't have that vitality.

When I asked the girls
who they would send home...

-Ooh.
-It was very interesting that Nicky Doll

really chose herself.

You really have to wanna be here
and fight tooth and nail for every moment.

Sometimes a lip sync is

-a great equalizer in life.
-[Michelle] Yes.

I wish the presidential candidates

would take a cue from us.

Me, too.

All right, silence.

I've made my decision.

Bring back my girls.

[RuPaul] Welcome back, ladies.

I've made some decisions.

Jaida Essence Hall.

This week,

you boss bitched your way through.

-You're safe.
-Thank you.

[RuPaul] You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

[Jaida] Ooh, bitch.

Crystal Methyd.

You skewered the acting challenge

and your cape was overflowing.

You're safe.

Thank you.

[RuPaul] You may join the other girls.

Nicky Doll.

Your drag baby made us laugh,

but you needed to work on the delivery.

Brita, as doctor Sandra,
the judges wanted more.

Not just Okurr.

Heidi.

You're forkin' fabulous,

but your runway look didn't cut it.

Brita.

You are safe.

Thank you.

You may join the other girls.

Thank you.

That means Nicky and Heidi.

I'm sorry, my dears,
but you are up for elimination.

Two queens stand before me.

Ladies,

this is your last chance to impress me

and save yourself

from elimination.

The time has come...

[thunder rumbling]

...for you to lip sync

for... your... life.

[Nicky] I am a girl from Paris
who had big dreams,

competing against a small town girl

that has just as big of a dream.

This is gonna be intense.

Good luck,

and don't f*ck... it... up.

[clapping and cheering]

Ladies, I've made my decision.

Heidi...

shantay, you stay.

[sobbing quietly]

Thank you so much.

This means the world.

I won't let you down again.

[breathes loudly]

[sniffling]

[RuPaul] Nicky Doll...

we have to say au revoir,

but you'll always be my baby.

Now, sashay away.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

for allowing this young, French, gay kid

that grew up watching the show

to finally be on that stage.

I don't belong to any drag family,

but now I can finally say
that I belong to one.

And I love you all
and thank you--thank you.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.

-[clapping]
-We love you, Nicky!

We love you so much!

[in French] Bye, friends!

[Nicky sighs]

I'm feeling sad.

I really wanted the judges
to see who Nicky Doll was,

and sadly,
didn't pay off the way I wanted.

But the end of the day,
it has been such a dream

to be here and I hope that
I made my country proud.

There's so much more to come,
so be ready for me, girl.

Can I untuck now?

[laughing]

[RuPaul] Con-drag-ulations, ladies.

And, remember, if you can't love yourself,

how in the hell
you gonna love somebody else?

Can I get an amen up in here?

[all] Amen!

All right, now let the music play.

Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race...

We're playing the Snatch Game.

[queens cheer]

We've got company!

Bam, bitch!

[queens cheer]

Miss Vanjie.

I loved your performance
in the Snatch Game.

You are so funny.

I didn't expect you to be like,
you know, calling Ru a bitch.

I don't know why my scene partner

wasn't in the bottom.

Oh, the prime example what not to do.
