Stephanie thanks them for their work. She tells Branden that he should know where the merchandise is located. Mountaha smiled after the one time she told her to perk it up. She appreciated the way that Sandhurst worked the room. And, Jonathan was sensational. She thinks he may have actually sold some items. In appreciation, they're all getting a Bloomie's shopping spree. They get $2000 each. Sandhurst gets $4000, since he won the challenge. That's awesome. They also get assistance from stylists at the store. Sandhurst is thrilled. He says this was the best photo challenge to win. They only have 30 minutes to shop, so they're running around. Branden gets the suit that he wore that day. Mountaha gets shoes. Jonathan gets stuff for his girl. Sandhurst gets a whole bunch of watches and stuff.
Jonathan is really proud of Branden ("the kid") for getting a suit. They ask him if he got shoes and he says that he didn't. Because, he can get a $10 pair at Sears that will look exactly the same. There's silence until Mountaha says, "Not really, Branden."
At New York Model Management, the models go to meet Cory. Sandhurst tried to get signed with them twice previously, but he feels that with his new portfolio he might be successful. Cory shows the wall of model comp cards. There's Nikki Taylor, who Cory points out was the host from last season. I didn't know we were allowed to mention her. He says that Sigrid is their hottest current face.
Cory says he has a message from Holly, last year's winner. There's a video of her where she says that she has booked fashion shows and ad campaigns in the last year. She feels like the show has definitely opened doors for her. Then, we see her in action. There's Holly getting her picture taken. Cory tells them that one of them will have the same opportunities. On the way home, Branden says he feels bad for the other models on the show who didn't get this experience. Jonathan cracks that his new clothes will help him feel better.
They all have dinner together that night and comment on how empty the condo feels. They're all nervous about the day. After everyone goes to bed, Branden practices his walk while shirtless. It is good.
Nicole and Tyson greet the models the day on the catwalk. The challenge today is to convey smooth elegance on the runway. They want James Bond and his sexy nemesis. Jonathan says he's going to fucking nail this one. Pride cometh before the elimination. The boys will be wearing Dior-inspired tuxes, while Mountaha will be wearing Catherine Malandrino. Pressure! David Ralph is back to help with their walks again. Branden goes first and grabs his lapel, which David tells him to never ever do again. He should hold his cuff instead. He seems pleased with the results. He essentially calls Sandhurst a girly dancer and tells him to man up by reminding him that he's wearing a $5000 suit. He's much stronger the time. He tells Mountaha to soften her face. She looks like "I'm wearing this instead of you." Jonathan walks like the Governor of California. He does this weird thing where he acts like his arms are so huge they can't rest at his sides. Puhleeze. He likes where Jonathan ends up.
