Matt Roush says...

It’s all in the family when the remaining queens turn their flamboyant gaze toward their nearest and dearest—their moms and dads—in an epic drag makeover competition. Grace and Frankie’s June Diane Raphael is the guest judge. Stay tuned for the RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked after show (9:30/8:30c), when the parents and contestants kick back, though the mood soon turns bittersweet given that the season finale is looming.
