2x1 - Red Is A Drag Queen’s Worst Nightmare
Rehearsal day. We meet our first four contestants: Charles Galin, Abhijeet, Skynsuit and Abigail Beverly Hills. One of the contestants might be a little too interested in their competitors. There’s a last minute push to promote the pageant. This year’s performances are even more ambitious than last time. Can everyone keep up?
2x2 - The Eyes Have It
We get to know Nicki Jizz, Snaxx, Tony Soto and Beatrix Bella Rouge. The all-important contestant order is debated and debated again. Crew and contestants find out that high heels and high ladders don’t mix. Shy and reclusive as usual, Alaska hides behind dark sunglasses.

2x4 - Does Anyone Have Pens?
It’s 45 minutes past curtain time. Is there a reason why we’re not starting? Lola’s not dressed, not that this stops her from running the show backstage. Out in the audience, Alaska takes up a collection of pens for the judges. The contestants make their debuts onstage. The looks are sickening, but an onstage malfunction stops the show dead.
2x5 - It’s Time To Crown A Winner
At long last, the talent section happens and scores can start getting tabulated. Lola’s dressed -- finally! -- and ready to take her turn onstage to introduce evening wear. A guest performer brings the house down. Last year’s reigning queen shows us how it’s done. It’s time to announce the winners, and a shocking tie is revealed.

The day after the show, contestants take a beat to review their performances and the emotion of their experiences. One queen has some iconic advice for drag hopefuls. We meet some of the family and community that support the contestants in getting to this point — in their drag, and in their lives. Alaska and Lola talk about what they’d do differently next time and what not to wear onstage.
