Recap

The queens return to the Werk Room and read Jax's lipstick message. They debrief the Lip-Sync Smackdown and want a fresh start for the competition.

RuPaul reveals it's the 15th Anniversary of RuPaul's Drag Race and the 200th episode.

RuPaul reveals the Mini Challenge is a green screen photobomb challenge. The queens will get into quick drag and take photos to iconic Drag Race moments.

Anetra wins the challenge for her photobombing Willow Pill's talent show: she does a cannonball into the bathtub.

RuPaul announces that the Maxi Challenge will be a Ball. The queens will create three looks for The Crystal Ball: (1) an updated look inspired by RuPaul's iconic racer jumpsuit, (2) a look inspired by the queens' favorite Ball themes from the past, and (3) a look created with crystals.

The queens rush to the supplies table to get all the supplies they can. In confessional, Salina EsTitties reveals the queens brought the first two looks from home, but they have to create the third outfit.

Loosey LaDuca accidentally knocks over a glass and beads shatter over the floor.

Sasha Colby admits she's not a sewer, but she knows her body well and what will work for her. Anetra is worried because working with crystals takes a lot of work since there are many of them.

RuPaul and Carson Kressley arrive for a walkthrough. They give Spice some advice that her silhouettes have all looked the same; they want her to show more personality. Mistress Isabelle Brooks wants to do a sexier style with her crystal look.

Salina wants to try an evening red carpet look. Carson and RuPaul tell her that her idea is a bit busy with all the items she wants to do. Salina admits that she's been hurting emotionally and feeling overwhelmed being in the competition.

Mistress asks Loosey if she wants to win the challenge. The queens joke about her overreacting about not winning the comedy challenge.

During the next day, the queens start getting ready for the runway. Anetra talks about no longer speaking to her mother; she says her mother asked her to leave the house. In the confessional, Anetra starts crying and reveals she reconnected with her birth father.

The queens talk about iconic moments from the herstory of the show.

On the main stage, the guest judge is Julia Garner. RuPaul is wearing a fabulous red leather dress with red fringe.

RuPaul performs a lip-sync number with dances to "Cake & Candy." A cake is wheeled out on stage with a "200" on top.

On the runway, "Start Your Engines" is the first runway. Mistress wears a red and white jumpsuit with sayings from all the big girls of Drag Race, Spice wears a sexy mini-skirt with a flag, Luxx Noir London does a sexy cut-out with the jumpsuit, Marcia Marcia does a supermodel multi-colored look, Salina does a blue hip hop jumpsuit, Malaysia Babydoll Foxx is in a pink jumpsuit, Loosey does a glittery jumpsuit inspired by Princess Peach, Sasha Colby turned the jumpsuit into a gown, and Anetra is in a neon yellow seethrough jumpsuit with elements of her culture.

"My Favorite Ball." Mistress is in an inflatable beach ball S&M look, Marcia does the Bag Ball to look like a fashionable milkmaid, Malaysia does the Hair Ball to have a black and white flowing fringe, Spice does the Ball Ball in a blue furry outfit, Salina does the Money Ball in a flowing money dress, Loosey is the Bag Ball made out of doggy bags in a white dress, Luxx is the Hair Ball in a Thierry Muglair-inspired outfit made from dark hair, Sasha is the Bag Ball in a rhinestone green dress inspired by weed bags, and Anetra is the Sugar Ball with a lollipop on her hip and taffy/Teflon her bodysuit.

"Crystalized Eleganza." Mistress wears a fitted white gown with jewels on her fringes/chest/arms, Spice is in a disco ball gown with a mirror ball purse, Marcia is in a sparkly modern Marie Antoinette-inspired look, Malaysia is in white gown dripping in crystals, Salina is in a pink satin gown with diagonal designs, Loosey is a losing pageant queen in a pink gown, Luxx is a snowflake-themed looking like a Swarovski crystal, Sasha is in a golden flowing dress inspired by coral on her chest, and Anetra is in a fitted crystal mermaid gown.

Marcia, Malaysia, and Luxx are safe.

During the critiques, the judges liked the idea for Salina's first and second look, but all three looks came across as bulky, Spice's first look was great, but her two other looks were fine with the last look being rough, the judges loved all of Mistress's looks, Loosey had a good first look but her second and third look weren't polished enough to hit out of the park, Sasha's three looks were gorgeous and stunning, and Anetra did a great job with her looks but her second look felt incomplete.

Sasha is the winner of the Maxi Challenge. Anetra and Mistress are safe. Loosey is safe. Salina and Spice are at the bottom.

The lip-sync song is "That's What I Want" by Lil Nas X. Salina focuses on a lip-sync about emotion and the lyrics while Spice goes for a comedic routine. Spice smashes her disco ball on the ground.

Salina wins the lip-sync. Spice is eliminated.
