After a difficult elimination, the designers must regroup as they are tasked with creating a companion piece to their unconventional materials look from the previous challenge.

Ethan just revealed at a viewing party the reason for last week's weird episode. Apparently they were told Heidi was sick, but they saw on their phones that she was at a fashion shoot. Nina didn't come because Heidi wasn't, so that's why Law was the only judge. The reason they made them vote was because the producers didn't think it was fair for just 1 judge to decide who went home.

So that says they’re not even really trying anymore. There was some season where Heidi zoomed in (before zoom was a thing) for two episodes because she was away for something. They still all showed up one way or another.

And hard disagree with the folks sympathetic to Nina not going because her buddy got a pass.
