The judges are impressed with Brittany's confidence and strong poses, but criticize Erin for not embodying the surfer girl image. Buzzy Kerbox's expertise in surfing proves to be valuable as he critiques the models' form and technique.

Later, the models are given a lesson in underwater posing. They are taken to a pool where they have to hold their breath and pose in various positions while being photographed.

As the competition reaches its final stages, tensions are high among the remaining contestants. Some girls, like Erin and Brittany, feel confident in their abilities and are convinced they have what it takes to win, while others, like Jennifer and Sundai, are starting to doubt themselves.

At the end of the episode, one model is sent home, leaving the final five to compete for the title of America's Next Top Model. With only a few episodes left, the pressure is on for the remaining contestants to prove themselves and impress the judges.
