Joined by their moms, Yolanda and team mentor the girls on what it takes to become a successful model as they compete to win a management contract with Yolanda and the opportunity to be represented by IMG Models.
Fresh off her win from last week’s assignment Mikayla is focused and on fire. Yolanda brings in Victoria Secret Model Devon Windsor and social media expert Olivia Perez to give the girls a lesson in the importance of social media for today’s top models. The models’ second assignment gives them the chance to put everything they learned about social media into practice when the girls compete for the chance to be the new fresh face for H&M’s social media.

It's the final week before Yolanda must decide who she will choose to be represented by her and IMG. This week there are no more lessons! Instead the girls are tested on how well they survive a "Typical day of a real life model." The girls are cast out into the streets of NYC as they head to Go Sees with 17 magazine and Showroom 7. Then a casting with celeb designer Nicole Miller, before seeing how well they fair at a fashion networking event. The stakes are high as the girls compete for their final chance to win a management contract with Yolanda and the opportunity to be represented by IMG Models.
