The models are coached on how to handle challenging interview questions from public relations expert Rachel McCallister, then put to the test by tough interviewer and Vanity Fair contributor George Wang; and they all receive surprise news that they will travel overseas to a major fashion destination. After arriving to their new location, the models visit a spa where the losers of an earlier challenge have to pamper the winners; and at an unusual photo shoot, the models are put into a harness and wired to hang upside down over a floating market to pose as freshly caught mermaids.
