David returns to the house from the Final Face-Off. He is jumping around with excitement because he has beaten JD and lives to see another day. Not everyone is happy to see him, however, Michael misses his friend JD, and Erika is shocked that JD is gone when he seemed to exude so much personality.

The contestants settle in to life together in the suite, and begin to notice each other's quirks and idiosyncrasies. In a hilarious moment, Michael helps Amy to iron her shirt. Amy has never ironed before and she is afraid the stream from the iron is smoke. In an interview, Michael makes a snide remark about Amy's ability to handle basic necessities of life.

In the outer beauty challenge, the 9 contestants meet world-famous magicians Penn & Teller, and learn a magic trick from them. They must each practice this trick then perform it to Penn & Teller. The person who performs the best will win the challenge and appear on-stage with Penn & Teller during their live Las Vegas show. The two people who perform it worst will go the Final Face-Off, where one of them will be eliminated.

In the hidden camera-inner beauty challenge, the contestants are asked by a reporter from PEOPLE magazine to reveal the secret of the trick they learned. But Penn has already sworn the contestants to secrecy and told them not to reveal the secret to anyone. Taylor, Erika, Regina, Michael, Amy and David honor their word, and don't reveal the secret. Liz, Michelle, and Craig break their vow and DO tell the secret.

In the outer beauty competition, Amy performs the trick best and wins the challenge. Regina and Michael give the worst performance and go to the Final Face-Off.

The judges deliberate between Michael and Regina. They have both been trash-talking other contestants, and neither gave up the secret. The judges put Regina and Michael through one more hidden camera test to see who will stop a visibly drunk man from driving a car. Regina stops him, but Michael just cracks a joke and lets him go.

Michael is eliminated. At this point, Vanessa Minnillo reveals herself as the secret judge and tells Michael the show is really True Beauty. Michael watches the video of his bad behavior, and says tearfully that he is a better person than the tape showed.
