. On their first challenge a group of five girls is each put in a phonebooth for a claustrophobic photoshoot where Sarah is recognized for her aggressive behaviour towards her fellow competitors. Jana, Isabel, and Aleksandra are declared the winners and get to walk in Berlin Fashion Week for judge Thomas Rath's newest show.

Seven of the remaining girls receive makeovers and a trick is played on Amelie who was told to go bald after she volunteered to shave her hair.

Two beauty shoots are contacted with pre-and-post makeover removement where Heidi notices Jil's skin problems.

The weekly runway challenge is taking place in a church where the girls have to walk in sexy bride outfits which Sarah refuses as she fears a bad reaction from her Christian school. Chiara-Isabell gets eliminated for not being ready to perform well in the competition yet just like Lilia, who's elimination is not shown in the episode. In the end, the 23 remaining girls continue in the competition.
