During this episode, makeovers occurred. Akanksha's long hair was cut as a short pixie cut. She wept after being forced to having the haircut. Also, Pranati's long black hair was cut as a auburn lob with bangs. After makeover, the models have a cover shoot for a Livon Serum product and they also have to decide which one out of three photos should be used for the packaging. And that will be the photo the judges assess at deliberation.

At judging, Lisa Haydon tells them disappointingly that they have chosen photos that accentuate their own strengths, instead of sell the product for the client. But with Neelam, this smart and ambitious girl puts a smile on Lisa’s face by scoring best photo two weeks in a row and even the client calls her picture "fabulous". Priya has once again ended up in bottom two with Minash, whose mature look and average photo only manage to yield a lukewarm response from the judges. Faced with a tough decision, Lisa eventually gives Priya one more chance to translate her passion for modelling into her photoshoots.
