At the model house Tuti found a note left by May, thanking the former for being a great roommate for her. Patricia marveled her first best photo win, while Angie shared the story about her eyes infection caused by wearing too much makeup, and now she had to wear glasses to prevent the irritation even further. Angie then admitted that she's somewhat insecure of having to wear glasses, since it could hinder her from excelling and she knew that the others are strong competitors. Afterwards, the girls were lounging around when a Cindy Mail arrived, telling them about their once-in-a-cycle challenge: the go-see.
They have a total of three clients to meet: Pevita Pearce of Maybelline, Chelsea Scott and Zenchi. The girls were told to form three groups of two, and they will be judged against each other, so they initiated to form groups where the commercial models to be paired off with the editorial ones. Angie & Julian, Patricia & Tuti and Sang-in & Tawan went off as pairs. Pevita Pearce told the models that she was looking for a girl to be in a campaign for Maybelline 2016, and in the end everyone received positive commentaries from her.
Chelsea Scott and Zenchi were both looking for runway models to book. Julian was distracted by the presence of Yu Tsai, whom she is uncomfortable working with, at the casting for Zenchi, while Sang-in ended up overthinking everything and came off as uninspiring to both clients. Chelsea praised Angie's striking look and Julian's confidence, while Zenchi was impressed by Tuti, Angie and Tawan. Patricia also impressed both clients with her stellar walk. Back at the model house, the girls are surprised by the appearance of Yu Tsai, who proceeded to give them the results of their go-sees. Sang-in ended up booking none, while Angie booked all three clients, earning Angie her third challenge win.
