For the Maxi Challenge, the queens will take part in a political debate to find the next drag queen president. The debate is Choices 2020.

The queens start rehearsing and prepping. RuPaul comes around for a walkthrough. Joining him is a former Drag Race contestant, Raven.

Heidi jokes around with RuPaul and Raven. They give her plenty of material that Heidi plans to use during the debate. When they get to Gigi Goode, they tell her to utilize what she knows. Gigi is worried because she was in the bottom before.

Widow Von'Du doesn't have a platform for her debate. Raven tells her to stop prepping and anticipating for the bottom; that thinking will bring her to the bottom. RuPaul laughs hysterically at Raven's jokes.

Jaida Essence Hall is confident because she's a pageant queen and gets prepared. RuPaul reminds her to remember her brand since it will help her to riff off jokes.

Jackie loves politics and can't wait to utilize knowledge. Jackie Cox reveals that she can't vote in the U.S.; her citizenship is in Canada. During Crystal Methyd's turn, Raven reminds her to listen to advice from RuPaul as these are the hints that will help her succeed.

Rachel Bloom and Jeff Goldbloom are the guest judges. They will moderate the political debate.

During the mirror prepping, Widow is confident she will bring the laughs, and Jackie wants to get the win. Crystal Methyd reveals that her parents are conservative and voted for Trump. Jackie reveals that her aunt is still stuck in Iran due to Trump's travel ban. Widow discusses how they can't drive down certain streets without fear of being killed.

Dahlia Sin returns for another cameo appearance for the QNN report with Michelle Visage.

Choices 2020 starts with opening statements from the queens. The queens have a strong opening, but Gigi stumbles a bit.

Jackie's jokes involve Canadian reference. Gigi sissy her walks and the queens use it as fodder. Heidi does big shock expressions with all the responses.

Jaida tries diversionary tactics to not answer questions. The queens do a "Look over there!" joke to playoff Jeff Goldblum. They go after Crystal for not knowing El Debarge.

Sherry Pie repeats a joke as an old woman. In confessional, Jaida isn't surprised to see it return.

Widow plays the role of the "Angry Politician." She calls Jeff uneducated and the queens playfully tease her. Heidi fakes a faint.

"Stars and Stripes Forever" is the runway category theme. Crystal Methyd looks like Carmen San Diego, Heidi is inspired by Betty Page, Wido has large stars on her gown, Sherry Pie is a biker chick, Jackie Cox is wearing a hijab and caftan, Gigi is in a period piece from 1776, and Jaida is a patriotic superhero.

During the judging panel, the judges think Sherry reused the same character from her acting challenges. They loved Crystal's performance in the debate, but her outfit is all over the place. They loved Heidi's performance during the debate and her look on the runway.

Widow's outfit on the runway is a hit, but they wanted more jokes from her. Widow is confused about not doing well in the challenge; RuPaul tells her to stop digging herself a hole.

The judges felt Jackie's jokes during the debate felt tired and routine. They love her outfit on the runway. After Jeff poses a question about her outfit, Jackie has a tearful response about being unsure about the country but standing strong and keeping brave.

The judges loved Gigi's outfit on the runway. Her performance during the debate was quiet and lacking energy.

The judges loved Jaida's performance during the debate; her distractions were so funny. Her outfit on the runway has blown them away.

During the private panel, the judges feel Sherry's performance was polished but tired, Crystal's debate was all Crystal, Heidi had plenty of humor and energy, Widow was too much like a politician and was her own inner saboteur, Jackie was overly prepared but they love her runway, Gigi looked great but didn't bring any politics, and Jaida killed it during the debate and runway.

Jaida Essence Hall wins the challenge. Sherry and Heidi are safe. Crystal Methyd is safe. Gigi is safe. Gigi makes a plea that she won't be at the bottom again.

Widow Von'Du and Jackie Cox are in the bottom two.

"Firework" by Katy Perry is the lipsync song. Jackie goes for a comedic performance while Widow utilizes more emotion. Widow rips off her star while Jackie kicks off her bracelets.

Jackie Cox wins the lipsync. Widow feels she let RuPaul down, but RuPaul doesn't think so. The queens hug Widow before she leaves.

The last clip is of Jeff Goldbloom being blown away by the reality of being on RuPaul's Drag Race.
