The very first challenge for five young models is to take a photo at Times Square. Will they be able to take the best shot that convinces Yolanda within the 30-minute time limit?

Yolanda takes the girls to see Broadway show Kinky Boots hoping that the message of the show: 'to be confident in who you are', rubs off on the girls ahead of this week's challenge, which is walking the runway for Dutch designer Georgine. The guys from Kinky Boots give the models a masterclass on how to walk, and Yolanda brings in Top Supermodel Alek Wek to give the models one last confidence boost before their big day. And the model moms begin to feel the pressure as they question whether Yolanda is playing favorites.

Its makeover day for the models and Lilyan freaks out when she discovers Yolanda has big plans for her hair. The pressure is on for the girls as Yolanda surprises them with their first big meeting with IMG Models. Will the girls and their moms impress? And Yolanda has one last surprise for the girls with a new addition to the model house.

The young models are pushed out of their comfort zone and must conquer their fears as they navigate a difficult circus apparatus for a shoot for Guess Bags. Makenzie's insecurities rear their head, just as the circus shoot warms up. The girls must put everything they've learned from their circus assignment into practice on their first big swimwear shoot with celebrity photographer Jim Jordan.

The models must shoot a 15 second commercial for Makeup icon Charlotte Tilbury's new lipstick line, as Yolanda tries to stress to the girls the importance of being more than just a pretty face. Makenzie's insecurities threaten to ruin her chances, and Lilyan is confident her acting background will push her to the top after weeks of being in the bottom. Yolanda has come to Jesus moment with the model moms about their cattiness towards Karen and Mikayla.

Fresh off her win from last week's assignment Mikayla is focused and on fire. Yolanda brings in Victoria Secret Model Devon Windsor and social media expert Olivia Perez to give the girls a lesson in the importance of social media for today's top models. The models' second assignment gives them the chance to put everything they learned about social media into practice when the girls compete for the chance to be the new fresh face for H&M's social media.
