After a shameful defeat on the previous competitions, Mackenzie takes everyone to a restaurant where she points out how Americans are seen in the rest of the world by pointing out to a couple of fat tourists, unable to understand the simplest instruction and are jerks to the waiter for not acting in a way that they like because they have a different culture. The rest of the team tries to refute that, but when a massive order of food comes to Deandra and she is pissed at the services offered, Mackenzie sees her point as proven.
Mackenzie takes the entire team then to the boutique, forcing Brittnay to abandon plans of following Saison. There, they meet Team France and are amazed by how naturally amazing and beautiful they look, to the point of Brittnay thinking they are in a photo shoot. As Mackenzie makes her point about the level of their enemies, she tells everybody that they can't sleep on it now, and must work harder and look for Jeannie to train while they still have time. Trisha 2 points at Jeannie there, with the Team France models, helping them pick dresses. They confront her about the betrayal, but Jeannie brushes it off, stating that she is there representing a modeling agency, who wants to be by the side of the winner and states that it seems unlikely Team USA will win after their disastrous performance.
The models playfully state that they have the sharpest knife now, to which Brittnay answers by pulling out a literal sharped knife, scaring everybody. Jeannie states she is still their coach and that they can try to win; Mackenzie however, quickly responds by hosting an impromptu voting to state that Jeannie is no longer their coach. Jeannie asks them, offended, who would coach them, Shay appearing stating that she will take up on that, but everyone ignores her and go on to say that they won't use a coach and don't need one and leave the boutique with new determination, with Brittnay throwing the knife at a mannequin as a threat.
The team starts getting ready for a new training session, but Brittnay is excused to look for evidence that Saison is not French, with Deandra following her to get out of doing exercises. The last scene shows Brittnay looking at Saison from a distance with a telephoto lens.
