The contestants must choose blindly from several runes that will influence this week's makeup, only finding out the meaning of their runes after they choose.

Laney is deeply homesick and her head is not entirely in the game. She tries her best, but can't find her usual inspiration. The following morning, she leaves a note saying she's exiting the competition and going home.
22678
Tate is shaken up by Laney's departure and has to struggle to bring his focus back to his own work.
22679
Laura is a dark elf fanatic and feels fairly confident going into the challenge. When she sees other people's non-traditional approaches to the concept, a sliver of doubt creeps in.
22680
And speaking of doubt, Miranda wavered so much on how to sculpt her cowl that she's out of time and has no choice but to ask her model to paint and apply his own makeup!
22681
Miranda is embarrassed not only by the fact that she enlisted the help of her model, but also that she sent a poorly conceptualized, unfinished makeup onto the stage. She is certain she'll be going home tonight.
22683
Laura's elf, influenced by the occult, draws her power from the runes on her skin and armor. The judges place her in top looks for her excellent concept and technical virtuosity.
22684
The judges found Tate's weaving of his rune - immortality - into the regenerative aspect of his makeup to be genius. His touch with the charred, flaking skin was beautiful as well as frightening, and he wins this challenge.
22685
The judges have an incredibly hard decision tonight with the wild card of Laney's departure. In a sense, she eliminated herself, but they are hesitant to let a substandard makeup progress onto the next round. After a tense moment with Roy and Miranda, they announce that no one will go home.
