What happened in RuPaul's Drag Race season 16 episode 9?

During the ninth episode of the MTV show's season 16, the remaining competitors returned to the werkroom before RuPaul informed them of their impending mini challenge. They had to take part in the Spit Game, which required them to spit water in response to questions RuPaul posed, as part of their next maxi challenge.

One by one, the presenter questioned them, and each time, they dramatically spat out water to make Mama Ru laugh. Nymphia Wind won the mini-challenge, thanks to her exaggeration. The RuPaul's Drag Race season 16 host then briefed the competitors about their next Maxi challenge, which had Gothic culture as its theme. To maintain their place in the show, the performers had to create their own "neo-goth" style and make an impression.

Contestants like Q, Nymphia, Plane Jane, and Dawn, were thrilled. Sapphira, who knew very nothing about Goth, voiced concern about the challenge. She also emphasized how crucial it is to perform well in the next task because she had utilized her immunity in the previous episode. Dawn expressed her desire to win to the cameras as well.

The judges gave a lot of criticism to a few designs on the runway, but Q's Neo Goth appearance helped her win. The queens at the bottom were Mhi'ya, Morphine, and Plasma. The two had to lip-synch to survive until RuPaul pulled Morphine from the bottom. They fought it out to the song Bloody Mary by Lady Gaga.

The other queens made remarks about Mhi'ya taking off her wig and letting the black rose petals fall throughout the performance. In the end, Mhi'ya cemented her place on the program and vanquished Plasma.
