Both teams were praised by their mentor in the initial mentoring session. Vin struggled with time and other designers including Joy thought of Romel's garment as too simple.

In the runway, Jared's team (Team Father) outshined Romel's (Team Mother) and were therefore given immunity in the said challenge. Joy was praised for his ability to tone down his aesthetic and showing a very clean work. Shieltz and Maw were also given positive feedback. Jared was deemed the weakest link in the group but because their team won, he was saved from elimination.

Romel's team was criticised for seemingly having two different collections in the runway. Celine, though, was praised for having successfully finished her first pants and Justin was also praised for his look though given a few tips to improve his garment. Romel and Vin placed in the bottom. Romel for having a very simple and dated look and Vin for some technical problems in his garment. In the end, Romel was spared and Vin was sent home.
