After the first cut, the girls are dumbfounded at Christina’s exit. While some girls cry about losing a friend, Sarah basks in her self-absorbed confessionals, letting her big head grow unchecked.
Ready, Set, (E)go
With Sarah occupied being egocentric, the other girls read the Elle Mail without her company. “Out with the old, in with the new. Love, Elle.”
Worried that her brittle age of 20 makes her a target of “out with the old”, Holly is determined to do anything to retain her spot in the competition. Saffron, on the other hand, feels that her look is very modern and is unwilling to receive a makeover.
Make-Over & Out
The next day, the girls are met by the three judges for makeovers. Elle shows off her own transformation, a copper mane. Tyson tells them that to have longevity in the business; a model must have a “unique” look (read: half-shaven heads and branded scalps)
Dannii prompts them to “trust” in the salon, stating that these monstrosities are the work of an expert. Holly, however, states that she’ll cry at the mention of the words “red, pixie cut, or scissor”. So when a Communist lesbian appears…
Saffron is also scared of the consequences of scissoring. When Tyson brings the news of the potential cut, she refuses to undergo a makeover. So, she receives a stiff warning and quick wash instead. With some freshly watered roots, Saffron’s hair makes her racially ambiguous “beauty” look even more extraterrestrial…
B.E.T. Phone Home
When Holly is told of her minimalist makeover, she’s elated. Coming from the 2011 Miss Ireland pageant, Holly is shocked to see that this competition is more focused on making modeling “a career”. Naomi, who agrees that three magazine covers and a spread constitutes a “career”, celebrates with Holly over her lack of a dramatic makeover.
The other girls also receive amplifications of their existing styles, with Jessica earning a blowout and Emma getting Scandinavian blonde extensions. In order to assess Angel, however, Dannii decides to extract that artifact of a weave and inspect the ruins of Angel’s scalp. After clearing out the cobwebs and various clumps of glue, Dannii decides to cover Angel with new tracks before the remnants of her hair singe through exposure to sunlight and fresh air.
Abigail, anxious about going short, sobs when Elle reveals their plans for a bob. “I’ve had a bob before, and it just didn’t work!” Abigail weeps, reminiscing about her failed relationship with Bob Saget. Even though she ultimately decides to refuse the makeover, she still manages to stay in Elle’s good graces by showing off her perfect model body.
Thin & Bones
As the other girls receive their new looks, some start to stress about their opponents. Tyson spews with glee at Lauren’s hair; whenever he gets an erection, she spouts a new curl. Watching Lauren’s ringlets multiply by the second, Danielle starts to feel insecure about the judge’s lukewarm response to her. Emily feels upset that she went through with her difficult makeover while the other two opted out of the change. By the end of the day, after getting severely chastised by the judges, Saffron and Abigail worry about their chances in this competition.
According To Gym
The next day, the girls are taken to a countryside manor, where they are met by Tyson Beckford. He introduces the girls to their next challenge, posing on a pummel horse with British Olympian, Louis Smith.
Emily was first on the pummel horse, matching the stark athleticism of the shoot. Angel and her Naomi Campbell-esque weave also brought the psychical energy, proving that throwing phones is an adequate workout. After Lauren and Naomi set the standard high during their shoots, Abigail was able to push through yesterday’s worries and deliver model-worthy photos.
Even though Laura and Sophie both posed effortlessly with Louis, Danielle had some struggles with body placement. Starting of in an “awkward position”, Danielle was unable to relax her face and pose with vigor. By the end of the shoot, even the Olympian had lost faith in getting a good photo.
Going For the Bronze
Sarah brought a sexiness to her shoot; making her the clear favorite for sexually frustrated Equus fans. Even with her lack of makeover, Saffron was able to show versatility in her photos. Likewise, Holly brought a range of strong poses during her shoot. Emma, the most unathletic girl, was initially terrified of the pummel horse. But despite her lack of muscle and small model size (weighing only 14 instagrams), Emma was able to overcome the psychical strain of the shoot.
After the models finished their shoot, they were treated to brunch at a London hotel. With the promise of getting high (tea), the girls were excited to “let their hair down” for a relaxing day. With the marijuana in full effect, the girls get overly sappy; praising the tea and calling the baby-cakes “too cute to eat”. The Communist lesbian disagrees…
After getting to know each other better, Lauren reveals that at the age of 15, her mother kicked her out; resulting in a few years of homelessness. Even though she got back on her feet, Lauren feels that modeling is going to help her and her pregnant sister succeed. After some words of encouragement, Lauren and the other girls toast to their futures.
Panel
After some consultation about her look, Tyson feels that Saffron could be more “elevated” if she gets cut shorter. While Dannii likes Emily’s makeover, Elle is nervous that she can’t pull it the androgyny. However, all three find Sophie’s photo to be “dynamic”.
Dannii raves over Emma’s face but finds the body shape to be lacking. Tyson attests to the fact that Holly got such a “dominating” shot in 3 frames. The two women love Naomi’s ability to transform on camera. Tyson joins the ladies in praise of Sarah.
Angel has a versatility which Laura lacks. Jessica and Danielle both fail to impress the women, while Lauren blows Tyson away (and more curls are born). While Elle loves her profile, Dannii believes that Abigail cannot shoot straight forward without a shorter hairdo.
“Of the thirteen of you, only nine of you are safe. The other four will remain in the room, where we will have a closer look at your work. Afterwards, one of you will leave. The girl who received picture of the week is…”
BOTTOM FOUR
Elle feels that Danielle lacks a synergy, and Tyson agrees, warning her that “less is best” for her. Dannii believes that, despite the tension in her face, relaxing her body can elevate her poses.
While the judges love the emotion in the photo, Elle wonders if losing her “security blanket” will bring out more in her face. Tyson is glad that he found Abigail’s best angles (profile) and Abigail is genuinely sorry that she refused the makeover.
“Four of you stand before me and the portfolio in my hands belongs to the girl who is not still in the running toward becoming Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model. Having said that…”"
Laura, Saffron, you are safe."

DANIELLE
Even though her "heart is broken", Danielle is proud of making it this far.
Next time, the girls will go to a fitting for a runway challenge. Afterwords, they will pose with male models on a beach, where Naomi apparently had sex/gets bitten. So, until then
