The girls (even Rio) are happy that Jeana is gone, and Jeana left a really sweet note for Rio. Khrystyana invites Rio to live in their room since it's just the 4 of them, but Rio says no that she wants to keep her really big bed. She then talks yet again about how she's meant to win and the universe is aligning for her, because Jeana left so that clears the way for her to win.
Tyra Mail announces that this week is "Throwback Week," and fans voted for their favorite past challenges and the girls will recreate one this week. The challenge is revealed to be
the bubble runway from cycle 16 (though not over water, over a ball pit). Another throwback is that all the eliminated models (Liz and Brendi K. aren't there) walked in the show and one of them will replace one of the top 4 girls to make up the REAL final 4 by the end of the episode.
During hair and makeup, Kyla and Sandra are excited to see one another, while Jeana tries talking to Rio but Rio brushes her off because she's not happy to have her back because she sees her as a threat.
After the challenge, they find out that only 4 of the eliminated girls will be moving back into the house for the rest of the week. They are
Erin (challenge winner),
Liberty, Christina, and Jeana. The girls are obviously pissed off about the girls coming back, and Rio continues ignoring Jeana. Rio rants about the top 4 working for that position, and Christina comes in and it's really awkward.
The Tyra Mail says "don't let fear kill your dreams," and the photo shoot will be another previously done shoot on ANTM. Rio is so upset about the girls coming back that she moves into the remaining girls' room on Khrystyana's invitation (again) to get away from the other girls. She gives a really intense confessional about how she's from the streets of Detroit and she almost died and she'll be damned if anyone takes this from her.
The photo shoot is
the diamond shoot with the tarantula from cycle 3 and they'll be posing with Eva the Diva from that cycle! They'll also be posing in pairs, so one remaining girl and one eliminated girl will appear in each photo w/ Eva. ofc, they decide to pair up the people who have the potential for most drama (Rio/Jeana, Shanice/Christina, Kyla/Liberty) plus Erin/Khrystyana. They will also be photographed by
Nigel Barker!!
Erin is clearly scared shitless and isn't modeling/is tearing up, which frustrates Khrystyana because she felt like she got her picture in the beginning and she doesn't want the spider on her any longer than necessary. Nigel tells Erin she's ruining the shoot for Khrys because she can't get it together.
Jeana talks to Eva about how scared she is of spiders, and Rio says she's putting on a show and calls her fake in her talking head. While Shanice is shooting, she keeps making scared noises because of the tarantula and Eva says Shanice is scaring her with those noises.
At panel, Law says he would have sent Shanice home at the photoshoot immediately because of how let down he felt by her, while complimenting Christina about how well she did. Law also compliments Jeana on how much she brought it this week and calls her "savage." Kyla says she almost cried tears of joy bc she was so happy with this photoshoot (
girl, what?) and Tyra ofc said "tears of joy this week, tears of horniness last week!" (
leave the poor girl alone already, damn!). Drew criticizes Khrys saying her picture looked like a department store catalog that he would put in his trash.

I swear they're nitpicking Khrys just so it's not obvious that she'll win
