Shawn hopes to win a Halloween drag competition by channeling his favorite actress, Molly Ringwald, in the 1986 film "Pretty In Pink."

The Dragnificent! team, made up of expert drag queens BeBe Zahara Benet, Jujubee, Thorgy Thor, and Alexis Michelle, eagerly takes on the challenge and sets out to help Shawn achieve his dream.

The team discusses how drag is not just about wearing makeup and costumes but also a way to express oneself and embrace their identity fully. Shawn gains confidence as the team empowers him through advice and encouragement.

They teach him some tricks of the trade, and he even gives them his own unique views on the art of nails, proving how much he is passionate about it.

The team also reaches out to Shawn's family and friends to help him feel more comfortable and supported in his journey.

However, the Dragnificent! team is quick to intervene and help him understand that he can be the person he wants to be, and they're there to support him.

The Dragnificent! team not only teaches Shawn how to apply makeup correctly and find the perfect wig but also instills a sense of self-esteem in him. They show him that drag is an art form that embraces individual expression, and everyone can participate in it.

Finally, it is time for Shawn to transform into Molly Ringwald.
