Welcome to the Family (Canada's Drag Race)

The mini-challenge is Everybody Loves Puppets, where the queens use a puppet to poke fun at their fellow competitors. Jimbo gets Scarlett Bobo, Scarlett Bobo gets Rita Baga, Rita Baga gets Jimbo, and Priyanka and Lemon get each other. Scarlett Bobo wins the challenge.^[2]

For the maxi challenge the queens must makeover five newcomers to Canada into members of their drag families. The newcomers entered Canada with the help of Rainbow Railroad, a North American charitable organization that helps lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) individuals escape violence and persecution in their home countries.^[4][5]

On the runway regular panelists Brooke Lynn Hytes, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, and Stacey McKenzie are joined by Amanda Brugel as the guest host. Brugel is later a main panelist on Canada's Drag Race season 2.^[6] Priyanka is declared the winner of the challenge, with Jimbo and Scarlett Bobo being safe. Lemon and Rita Baga are up for elimination and lip sync to "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. Rita Baga wins the lip sync and Lemon is eliminated.

The episode won a Canadian Screen Award for Best Writing in a Reality/Competition Series for Mike Bickerton, Elvira Kurt, and Jen Markowitz at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in May 2021.^[3]
