RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 13, Episode 13 - Henny, I Shrunk The Drag Queens! - full transcript

After their star turns in a sci-fi spoof, Olivia Lux feels the sting of the other queens' critiques, Kandy Muse needs medical attention, and Cynthia Erivo pops in to chat with the girls.

This is not
RuPaul's Best Friend Race.

I feel very attacked!

Ooh, yes.

Well, we made it.

I have had everybody in this
goddamn place coming for me.

RuPaul: This isUntucked,

backstage at the competition

to become America's
next drag superstar.

Girl, if you're not
watchingUntucked,

you're only getting
half the story.

Director:
Break on the main stage.



All cameras re-po.

RuPaul: Thank you, queens.

While you untuck
in the werkroom,

the judges and I
will deliberate.

Tonight I've gotten
some of the worst critiques

I've gotten
in the entire season,

and I'm terrified

that I could possibly
be going home,

and that sucks.

Hearing my critiques this week

and hearing the other girls

saying I should go home tonight,

I feel so defeated.

But I know I have to
pick myself up fast.



And mark.

[sighs]

Oh, my goodness.

Okay, babies, that was rough.

That was a rough one.

I didn't wanna
have to throw shade.

Queens, who should go home
tonight and why?

I love my sister Olivia,

but I think that
when it comes to growth,

she still has
just a little more to learn

about herself and her drag.

I'm gonna say Olivia.

Olivia.

I have to say Olivia as well.

I will have to vote Kandy.

How are you guys feeling?

I mean, it never feels
the greatest

to be the majority vote
in that question.

Once again, I am overlooked.

It's so frustrating
hearing your sisters say

that they don't see you
going as far as them.

I'm really upset.

I feel like you were
holding it back a little bit,

and I don't know if it's anger,
I don't know if it's sadness.

- It definitely isn't anger.
- I just want you to get it out.

I mean, I get frustrated
when you guys say

that I, like, don't
completely know, like, who I am,

because I definitely
do know who I am.

But I'm just, like, evolving,

and I don't want that
to get confused

with not knowing
exactly who I am,

because I also
came here to explore.

You just said
that you wanted to explore.

That is fantastic,
and explore you fucking have,

and I have loved watching it.

I've seen you, like,
blossom so much,

and it's a great thing to do.

But looking around
these two couches,

I don't think anybody else
came here to explore.

You have your own opinion,

so that's kind of
where I'm at with it.

How are you feeling, Kandy?

I definitely didn't take
your answer to the heart.

I don't know, I just...
Like, I feel disappointed

because we're almost
at the end of the competition

and, like, you wanna
be doing your best.

I feel like I went, like,
from all the way up here

and just completely
dropped on my ass again.

And I'm obviously
in the bottom tonight,

lip syncing for my life,

but I'll be fucking damned

if I give up my spot
in the top four.

Because I didn't come here
to be fifth place,

and unfortunately, like,
someone has to go home tonight,

and I'm not going anywhere.

And I'm so sorry,

because if it's you and me
in the bottom,

I'm going off.

Yeah.

You better.

I've been where you are.

It fucking sucks being
winning the week before

and then literally going...
Catapulting to the bottom.

Fortunately it's before the end,

and that is a shitty...

And that's what's fucking me up,

because it's, like
fucking with my head so much.

But I've made it way too far in
this competition to go home now.

Listen, it doesn't matter.

Look, we're not choosing who
the top four is, the judges are.

But I'm listening
to Kandy's response

to all this versus yours, right?

The difference is
that you are still poised,

and Kandy's sort of, like,
like fuck this,

all right, all bets are off,
I'm gonna go out there.

And I know that
that's the energy

that gets you
from point A to point B,

and I want you, if only for you,
to, like, go fucking get that.

Because you have slayed.

Bitch, you beat me in a lip sync

on the first damn day.

You are the reason
I'm here on this couch,

because I had
something to prove.

So I just personally
wanna feel and hear

about the fire
that you have to stay.

Because I feel the heat
from Kandy.

I know I'm going to lip sync.
I know it.

It's down to the wire.
There's five of us.

You know,
based off of critiques,

and I'm very confident
in my ability to perform,

as I am confident

with everything that I've done
in this competition.

So once again, I'm gonna
hit that stage like I always do

and give a show.

I feel so lightheaded right now.

Like, what are you...
Like, what can we do?

I'm tired. I need a break.
I really need to go outside.

Can I get a medic, please?

RuPaul: Girl.

RuPaul: Girl.

So I'm gonna be real.

You know we was all there.

I wanted Miss Perignon,
but going in as...

Girl, now I wish I would have
gave that bitch to you.

[all laugh]

Now you learned your lesson.
But, no. [laughs]

- Hi, Freddie.
- Hi, Freddie.

This is Mama Lux and...

This is Grandma.

Oh, my God!

And we can't see... No, stop.

[laughs]

Whew.

- Hi, Freddie.
- Hi, Freddie.

Forgive our appearance.

[laughs]

Baby, they are divas
just like you, bitch.

- Hi, Freddie.
- Hi, Freddie.

- Forgive our appearance.
- Forgive our appearance.

I'm Mama Lux.

What... [both laugh]

[all laugh]

- Take two.
- Take three, baby.

- Oh, shit.
- Hi, Freddie.

- Forgive our appearance.
- Forgive our appearance.

I'm Mama Lux.

And I'm Grandmom.

We just wanted to say
how proud we were of you

at this point in time
in the competition.

We miss you.
Can't wait to see you.

We love you,
and we're very proud of you.

I hope you understand

that Grandmom's
sitting here for a reason,

and it means something
that we're sitting up here

all Luxified
in the Land of Lux for you.

We love you, Fred.

- Yes.
- Congratulations.

Hurry up with that check!

- Bye!
- Hurry up with that check!

- Yes!
- Oh, I love you!

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.

They're divas
just like you, bitch.

Freddie!

How was that, baby?

You guys have no idea

how much my mom, my grandmom,
and my two aunts mean to me.

And right before I came here,

my grandma told me

that she doesn't think

that she could be a part
of anything drag for me.

And we had the biggest fight
that we've ever had...

Oh, my God.

Right before I got here.

And she has always been the
biggest support system for me,

and to know that there's
a possibility that for this,

the biggest thing in my life
that I've ever done,

and she may not wanna be
a part of it was really hard.

My grandma is very religious,

and she's okay
with me being gay,

but she doesn't understand drag,

and for a while I thought

that she would never know
this side of me.

So seeing her on that screen
was more than just acceptance.

It was, like,
that unconditional love

that I wouldn't trade
anything else in the world for.

Seeing her up there...

- Oh, baby.
- Baby.

Oh, my gosh, in all her jewels.

Yes!

In all the jewels
and furs, honey.

She ain't steal nothing.
Those are all hers, honey.

Olivia Lux is all of them,

is my grandmother, is my mom.

- We see!
- It's my aunts,

and they know that,
you know, deep down.

And I've really hoped
that RuPaul's Drag Race

and my drag and everything

opens that part of, you know,
internally for her,

that it is okay
to be a drag queen.

It is okay to be gay.
It is okay to support that.

Are you okay, gorgeous?

This is... ugh.

We're right... right...

I can taste the fucking crown.

We're right there,
and I'm just...

I don't even know
how I'm gonna react or feel

if I do not make it
to the top four tonight.

I just need a second.

I feel so lightheaded right now.

Like, what do you...
Like, what can we do?

If you feel like
you're gonna pass out,

we need to get the medic.

I need a break.
I really need to go outside.

Can I get a medic, please?

Do you want us to go with you?

I need water.
I need, like... I need air.

Do you need us...

What do we do?

Can I get water, please?
I can't... I can't...

- Water?
- Yeah, I need air.

- Medic?
- Please?

RuPaul: Girl.

RuPaul: Girl.

I'm sorry, I need a break.
I really need to go outside.

Can I get a medic, please?

What can we do?

I need water.
I need, like... I need air.

Do you need us...

Can I get water, please?
I can't... I can't...

- Water?
- Yeah, I need air.

- Medic?
- Please?

I just feel lightheaded,

and I feel like I'm about
to have a panic attack.

I feel like Kandy's just taking
on so much stress right now.

I just think the pressure's
getting to her.

I also think in her head, too,

like, she just had a win
last week,

and it was her first one,

and then, like, to be in the top

and then go straight
to the fucking bottom.

That, on top of it being the
week right before the top four

is, I mean,
I completely understand.

I completely understand.

I mean, should we
go check on her?

- Symone, go.
- I think Symone, yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, I wanted to come
check on you for sure.

Worse, my sister,
my bald-headed ho.

I'm guessing it's, like,

the being in the bottom
or whatever?

With all the critiques and
everything happening right now,

there is so much pressure on me,

I'm just, like, oh, my God,
oh, my God, oh, my God.

Like, I really need
to calm down.

And the more I'm telling myself
I need to calm down,

I'm making myself just worse
and worse and worse.

Well, I'm gonna go back in
and give you a minute.

I just wanted to check on you.

For sure. I love you.

You need anything,
holler at me, gal.

Of course. Thank you.

Hey, baby, what's up?

- How's everything?
- She's having...

Like, her blood pressure's up
and her heart rate's kind of up.

I think she kind of had
a little bit of a panic attack.

She's, like,
she just needed a minute

because everything
kind of came rushing at her.

Oh, my gosh.

Hey, baby boo.

Hey, my love.

You okay?

Yeah, I was just a little
lightheaded and stuff.

It's all good.

Just need to sit down
and relax for a little.

Yeah.

Thank you.

All right.

Took good care of you, huh?

Yes, yes, baby.

I think it was just, like...

I don't know
if it was, like, the heat

or just the pressure
of everything,

and just, like,
everything at one time.

I just, like, felt it,
like, in my chest.

All I could think to myself
as I'm sitting down

is please calm down

because you have to go out there
and you have to perform.

Like, try to get yourself
in the right headspace

and breathe in and breathe out.

Oh, my God!

- Hi, ladies!
- Oh, my God!

Whoo, Cynthia's here,

and we get to see her
in her fullness, honey.

And it is very surreal.

Like, I'm meeting the girl
who plays Harriet,

and I played Harriet
in Snatch Game.

And she is just gorgeous.

I can't get over it.

I cannot believe this.

How's it been?

Difficult and rewarding.

Are there any things that
you've learned about yourself

whilst you've been here

that you didn't know
until you got here?

Oh, definitely.

- Yeah?
- Definitely.

One of the big things that
I feel like I've conquered here

is asking for validation.

I think we all at some point
in our lives go through that

where we want validation,
where we need for others

to tell us that we're doing well

because we're too afraid
to know it for ourselves.

Yes.

And I think that point
that we all get to,

where we're, like, actually,

it doesn't matter
what anyone else thinks

as long as I feel good
doing this.

I'm glad you got to that point.

I'm still feeling
a little lightheaded.

I'm still feeling
a little, you know, woozy.

What's the best advice you have

for someone who's, like,

about to be thrown into
this thing we call fame?

I would say keep good people
around you.

Keep your friends around you

who you know,
you trust, and you love,

and don't be afraid
to say no sometimes.

And then just show people
who you are.

Be yourself. That's it.

Love that.

Cynthia, it's time to head back.

- Oh!
- Oh!

Good to meet you.

- So good to meet you, too.
- Thanks for coming back here.

And thank you
for coming back, yeah.

Thanks for being here.
It's a pleasure.

This means everything,
thank you.

Thank you, have a good day.

- You, too.
- See you soon.

So stunning. [all laugh]

145 over 99. It was, like,
180 over 111 earlier.

But it's still
not at normal levels,

so you're gonna have to rest up
a little bit more,

just because I'm not comfortable

of where your
blood pressure's at.

All right.

All I'm thinking to myself
is, oh, my God,

if my blood pressure and my
heart rate levels don't go down,

I can't go out there
and lip sync.

And if I can't lip sync,
I'm going home.

RuPaul: Girl.

RuPaul: Girl.

Kandy, you okay, sweetheart?

- Hi, baby.
- You okay?

Yeah, I'm just...
I was a little lightheaded

after the runway stuff.

I think, I don't know,

maybe, like, the heat
and just all the pressure.

Because, like,
we're right at the end.

- So, like...
- It's a lot, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- You're so gorgeous.
- Thank you, baby.

Breathe. You'll be fine, yeah.

- Thank you.
- Ooh, you've got a gap like me.

Gap sisters, yeah.

Breathe, right?

Take it easy, please, yeah?

Okay. I definitely will.

I'll see you soon.

It's going down.

Just stay hydrated,
continue fluids, okay?

Okay. So the medic is telling me

that my numbers are stabilizing,

and right now I feel
not the best, but I feel good.

And I'm gonna go out there
and do what I have to do.

Oh!

Rehearsing the lip sync song,
I feel, like, energized,

because I saw my family
on the screen.

And never in my life

have I wanted to fight
for something more than this.

I want this spot
in the top four.

I have fought
this entire season.

I am ready to fucking
crawl my way to the top,

and there is nothing

that is gonna get in my way
of me and that crown.

- Time for the main stage.
- Holy shit.

- Werk.
- All right, let's do it.

All righty, let's do it.

Welcome back, queens.

Kandy, I understand you had
a moment during Untucked.

- Are you feeling better now?
- Yes.

You spoke with a medic
and everything's okay?

Mm-hmm.

Shall we carry on?

- Yes.
- Okay.

I've made some decisions.

Kandy Muse, Olivia Lux,

the time has come

for you to lip sync

for your life!

Kandy Muse, shantay you stay.

My dear Olivia, you should
be very proud of yourself.

I know I am.

Now sashay away.

It's disappointing
being this close to the crown

and not getting a chance

to fight it out
in the last battle.

But I'm really,
really proud of myself.

Oh!

This is surreal.

It's been
such an amazing journey.

I've learned so much
about myself.

And I'm so proud of everything.

Oh!

[laughs] Oh!

The notes!

"Ohh, Olivia Lux, my queen,
the Gina Waters of drag.

"I'm so proud of you
and everything you've done here.

"The world is not ready
for you, my love.

"Also, I can't wait to fully
get to know you after this.

I feel like I have a true
sister in you, Symone."

That means a lot, because I
don't really have a drag family,

and I really feel like
I found my family here.

I think me being here
has opened up a new gateway

for me to be able
to talk about drag

and let my family in
on who I am.

And this is the start
of something so amazing.

Like, to know that this is just
the beginning is actual magic.

Oh, my goodness.

And if you walk in with a bag,

you better walk out with a bag.

Oh, my gosh.

All righty, let's do it.

I may not have won that crown,

but all the things
that I've learned,

all the people that I've met

feel like the biggest reward
that I could ever ask for.

Oh, my gosh.

[laughs]

Yes!

I hope y'all are ready
to live, okay?

[laughs]

Mwah! Bye, everyone!
