The finalists shoot their CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Commercial and Photo. Some of the clips were taken throughout their journey in the competition. Sophie was photographed for the CoverGirl photo-shoot and done well, but it is the final. Laura excelled in the shoot, although she later suffered from a panic attack and was taken to the hospital, unable to finish her commercial. Nigel Barker later dropped by in order to wrap up her commercial.



The following day, Valentina Serra welcomed the girls for their shoot in a spread for Vogue Italia; Sophie excelled, while Laura shone and impressed the clients.


Tyra later visited the models in their apartment in order to interview both of them. Laura spoke about her life struggles. Meanwhile, Sophie talked about her insecurities of being a British contestant competing in an American modelling competition.

In the final runway, for the first time, the girls participated in a holographic runway show for Forever 21. Eliminated contestants Catherine, Eboni, Alisha and Annaliese, also joined the models for the show. Both of the girls impressed the judges.


At panel, Laura was criticized for her CoverGirl photo, but she redeemed herself with her commercial. Sophie excelled more in her photo than in her commercial. Laura's rebel personality and Sophie's bright presence were both praised.



After deliberation, between the America's Next Top Model : British Invasion judges ; Tyra Banks, Kelly Cutrone, Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel, it is eventually decided that they are able to give their decision to the contestants,
