Summary
It's finally time to decide if Darlene's special kind of stupid, Nini's mechanically engineered drag or Myki's versatility earns the cash and the crown. The whole episode is kind of uncanny valley of the dolls but Miley stops by, we get to meet the people who produced all of those Meeks kids, Ru dances for no one, Jane gets a $10k tip from her sisters for mopping the floor with them most of the season, Onya gets offa the throne and this season's responsible babysitting theater kid from Orlando kicks off her motherfucking reign.
