"Wow, that is interesting!"

"I literally say to everybody that you have the best hands. [...] Yeah, hands and kneecaps are your best features!"
Trisha 2, giving a pep talk to Trisha

On the day of the hands modeling competition, Jeanne points Blaine and Trisha for the competition. They meet again with the French Team and enter in a heated argument that nearly goes into a physical fight before Jeannie breaks them up.

The male competition shows several similar hands between the competitors, resulting in all participants getting the same grade. Trisha is having a hard time getting herself ready for the competition in spite of Trisha 2's support, and it seems like the same tie will happen on the female category of the competition, so Mackenzie quickly dismisses Trisha as the competitor (which she is thankful for) and recruits Deandra from the bathroom to be the hand model with her robot arm, which gains her a perfect score, placing Team USA on the first place. Jeanne brings champagne to celebrate, revealing that the legal drinking age of France is 16, making them all legally able to drink. With that knowledge, everyone goes to a party where they get hammered.

During the party, Shay has started to hang out with Rachel and Judith and they briefly fight due to Rachel's alcohol-fueled rage; Brittnay threatens Saison again to find out about her true origins and prove her farce when she reveals that she left her baby with Blaine, not with her parents; Cameron attempts to talk Mackenzie into hitting on some guys with her, but she is shot down and Mackenzie refuses to drink, believing it might have negative results in their competition on the following day; Than attempts to declare himself to Tanner, but he is shot down because Tanner likes Than just as a friend and he is also in a very happy and monogamous relationship with Tristan and they agree to not do anything, however, on the following morning, Tanner wakes up and, to his horror, he is naked in bed... with Than.

Tropes:

  • Armor-Piercing Question: Played for Laughs:
    Sofia: Oh look girls, it's an American man! (to Than) Lemme guess, you're an oversexed egomaniac who thinks he can fuck anything he wants!
    Than: (beat, then turns to Team USA) Well, ok, they kind of got me pegged guys, sorry, can't help.
  • Barbie Doll Anatomy: As it's expected, the dolls all have similar or even equal hands, leading to a ten-way tie between the male competitors and a win to Deandra.
  • Bedmate Reveal: Than to Tanner, the morning after.
  • Big "WHAT?!": Team USA collectively does this when the male competitors turn out to have a ten-way tie.
  • Binge Montage: Everyone at the party, all drunk.
  • Call-Back:
    • Cameron references the events of her breaking up Jenna Darabond's family, in which she was having an affair with her dad.
    • Once again, Shay is drunk.
    • Once again, Baby Brittnay needs a diaper change.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus:
    • When Jeannie tells everyone that the first event is going to be Hand Modeling, you can see Mackenzie being the only one nodding in agreement.
    • You can just make out a sign that says "These snacks are for everbody! [sic] Not just lunch for Deandra, Deandra!"
    • When the TV screen shows Blaine's part of the Hand Modeling competition, you can see his last name: McClaine.
  • Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Trisha 2 does this to an incredibly nervous Trisha C.
  • Here We Go Again!: Saison says this trope word-for-word when Brittnay once again accuses her of being Canadian.
  • In Vino Veritas: The ones who get drunk become much more open than before, especially Tanner and Than.
  • Only Sane Man: Mackenzie, Saison, and Blaine are the few people who don't get drunk, the latter of which is back at the hotel (reluctantly) keeping watch on his baby.
  • Toilet Humor: Deandra's pooping habits return after a long absence, much to Mackenzie's and Brittnay's disgust.
  • Vomit Discretion Shot: Brittnay throwing up in a bathroom sink from Deandra's smell.
  • Wardrobe Malfunction: Cameron gives off yet another nip-slip, this time while drunk out of her mind.
  • Wild Teen Party: Takes place for Team USA after the Hand Modeling competition; after all, the drinking age in France is only 16.
