A Ukrainian-born contestant wins Miss Japan and sets off a backlash that quickly spirals into questions about identity, citizenship, and who gets to represent a country on a global stage.

Gary and Selena move between disbelief, dark humor, and genuine confusion as the episode slowly unravels into everything else.
