Summary

The queens are tasked with creating their own fairy tale princesses (and problematic sidekicks) in this week’s episode. Despite it being season 9, some of the girls still don’t know how to sew.

We discuss the queens’ powerful POV’s post-Pulse, filtered drag on Instagram, whether or not Valentina is totally conning us, Kimora’s monkey, Aja’s untucked meltdown, our deeper love for Shea, continued adoration of Sasha, the importance of supporting local drag, and an impossibly dreamy Last Chance Lipsync.

1:08.8	We need to stay strong.
1:10.4	So I think it was only appropriate that we start this episode talking about and featuring
1:15.3	really, I think, the most important part of this episode.
1:18.4	And a part that I think I am glad they addressed, and I think I forgot that they would
1:24.3	address, which of course is what happened at Pulse Nightclub last year,
