RECAP:

Park Jimin (National Rep): I'm sad to see them go... but we do have a schedule to keep... so are you ready for the third mission?

This time you'll be judged on your performance in one specific skill: vocal, rap, or dance.

Though you'll be performing in a team, you'll be scored individually. Only the top rap, top vocal, and top dance trainee will receive the benefit.

We've selected four songs for you to choose from, each with a certain number of members:

Five trainees will be performing Into The New World, by SNSD, a legendary vocal performance that showcases both softer and stronger vocals.

Four trainees will perform Don't Know You by Heize~ two trainees will show their rapping and two their vocals in this emotional performance.

Three trainees will show their fiercer sides in the rapping performance of Rhythm Ta by Ikon.

And finally, five trainees will tackle Demi Lovato's powerful "Sorry Not Sorry" in a complex dance performance.

A curtain is pulled back to reveal four posters, each with a song title.

You'll get to choose your song... but in the order that you've been ranked... So Miss Chaerin, it seems like you've been granted the first pick once more. Just stand in front of your first choice.

Lee Chaerin (BigHit // 1): I choose.... Sorry Not Sorry!

She excitedly becomes the first person to stand in front of the poster.

[INTERVIEW]

Lee Chaerin (BigHit // 1): Demi Lovato is an amazing singer from America and it would be really nice to perform her song... i think i'll be able to pull it off well.

[END INTERVIEW]

Hwang Hayun (IND // 11): And just like that the avengers team is formed...

Kwon Choonchee (Yuehua // 3): I'll admit i was surprised when Chaerin chose that team... she's always been a vocalist... now i'm sure the competition for dance trainees will be even harder.

Park Jimin (National Rep): Misae Nakamura, you'll get the next choice.

She crosses to the front, surveying the options.

Misae Nakamura (JYP // 2): I'll join... Team Don't Know You.

[INTERVIEW]

Misae Nakamura (JYP // 2): I've been the main vocal before but I felt like I didn't show what I'm capable of, I hope in this evaluation I'll be able to show more to the national producers.

[END INTERVIEW]

[INTERVIEW]

Lee Chaerin (BigHit // 1): As terrible as it sounds i was a little glad Misae and I aren't performing the same song... i was talking to some of the other trainees and apparently it was really tough to work with her on the last mission.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): Our third rank trainee, Kwon Choonchee, your choice?

Kwon Choonchee (Yuehua // 3): I'll be joining the Sorry Not Sorry Team!

She goes to stand beside Chaerin and Jimin calls the next girl up.

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number four: Park Sunhi, your choice?

Park Sunhi (PLEDIS // 4): I choose... Into The New World!

[INTERVIEW]

Park Sunhi (PLEDIS // 4): Vocal is my best skill and I don't think i've been able to show my best so far, so i'd like to try again with this song.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): Let's have number six: Zhang Weilan!

Zhang Weilan (PLEDIS // 6): There's so many good options though! I'm too indecisive for this... so... eenie meenie miney... Sorry Not Sorry here I come!

She runs over to stand beside Choonchee excitedly.

[INTERVIEW]

Bae Chowon (IND // 17): I really want to get onto the Sorry Not Sorry team... but i think everyone will have chosen it before me...

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number seven, Park Athena, which team will you join?

Park Athena (PLEDIS // 7): I think the choice is obvious... Sorry Not Sorry!

[INTERVIEW]

Choi Seohyun (IND // 16): There's only one spot left... i guess i'm not getting on the dance team.

[END INTERVIEW]

Lee Suran (CUBE // 9): No one has chosen the rap performance yet... but Yulhee is the only rapper in the top seven i guess so it makes sense i suppose.

Park Jimin (National Rep): Let's have number eight: Kim Sora!

Kim Sora (JYP // 8): I'll join Team Into The New World!

She goes to stand beside Sunhi.

Shin Eunjin (IND // 12): I can just sense that the Into The New World team is going to have some drama... it's a good song so everyone will fight over the parts... i think i want to join a different team... hopefully there's something else left.

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number nine, Lee Suran, which team will you join?

Lee Suran (CUBE // 9): I think... Rhythm Ta... the obvious choice here.

Suran becomes the first member of the Rhythm Ta team.

[INTERVIEW]

Lee Suran (CUBE // 9): The choice was pretty obvious, Rhythm Ta is a fierce rap song, Don't Know You is a soft song, Into The New World has no rapping, and Sorry Not Sorry is going to be so competitive I'll be totally overshadowed. I mean... I would like to be on the Sorry Not Sorry team because I really like working with Chaerin, but Athena's also on that team and I don't know how much she likes me...

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number ten! Yang Li Mei!

[INTERVIEW]

Kang Hyunjin (SM // 13): At this point we're about half way through... everyone seems to be picking dance... I just really want to be on the Into The New World Team. Fingers crossed!

Yang Li Mei (Yuehua // 10): I'll join... Into The New World as well.

[INTERVIEW]

Yang Li Mei (Yuehua // 10): Honestly... I wanted to be on the Sorry Not Sorry team, but I'm not good enough. So instead I'm going to join the vocal team... where I'm not going to be good enough. What's the point anymore? This ten means nothing if you fail every mission.

[END INTERVIEW]

[INTERVIEW]

Park Sunhi (PLEDIS // 4): I think Li Mei is pretty, and a good singer I guess... but she just kind of scares me... i heard she hasn't gotten along with any of her team mates ever.

[END INTERVIEW]

[INTERVIEW]

Kim Sora (JYP // 8): I'm really glad that Li Mei is on our team, she's really nice and I think she's a really good singer! some people say mean things about her, but she's always been nice when i've talked to her.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number eleven, Hwang Hayun!

Hwang Hayun (IND // 11): I'll join team Don't Know You...

[INTERVIEW]

Hwang Hayun (IND // 11): To be honest I didn't know any of the songs. Don't Know You has rap and vocal parts so I figured it'd be a safe bet.

[END INTERVIEW]

[END INTERVIEW]

Lee Suran (CUBE // 9): Who do I think the biggest rap threat is? Honestly.. Hayun. She's the only other person who has stuck with rap this whole time, and I think the mentors were really impressed with her in the last evaluation.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number twelve, Shin Eunjin?

Shin Eunjin (IND // 12): Hello! Um... I think I'll choose Sorry Not Sorry!

[INTERVIEW]

Shin Eunjin (IND // 12): I personally love this song, also it will have sharp and well defined dance moves that can showcase my dancing ability! Also the team looks really strong~ but if i could prove myself among them then that would show that i belong in the top six.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): That's the last spot in the Sorry Not Sorry team taken!

Bae Chowon (IND // 17): Darn it... Plan B i guess...

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number thirteen, Kang Hyunjin!

Kang Hyunjin (SM // 13): I'll be joining team Into The New World!

[INTERVIEW]

Kang Hyunjin (SM // 13): I want to perform a song that can perfectly show off my vocals correctly. I believe this is the song that can do that. By singing this song I want to prove my vocal ability and that SM lost one of their best vocalists in the company. It's pretty ironic that I'm singing SNSD unnies songs again. I sang this for my last monthly evaluation at SM too. I really want to sing this song because it shows off my vocals the best. And this evaluation means a lot to me as my rank dropped a lot. So I want to go to the position that can help me survive.

[END INTERVIEW]

Choi Seohyun (IND // 16): Please, please, please save that last spot in Into The New World for me. I really want to perform that song now that Sorry Not Sorry is full.

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number fourteen, Charlotte Ashbourne.

Charlotte Ashbourne (SM // 14): This is easy, Don't Know You.

[INTERVIEW]

Charlotte Ashbourne (SM // 14): Don't Know You is an underrated bop. I think my clear vocals will really shine here.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): That's the last spot in Don't Know You. Kim Herin, number fifteen, your choice?

Kim Herin (BigHit // 15): I think i'll choose... Rhythm Ta!

[INTERVIEW]

Kim Herin (BigHit // 15): My main skill is rap and during my time in Big Hit, me and Yeonjun always fought over for the 1st place in the rap position. I let him win sometimes. But it's my most confident position and I want to showcase it.

[END INTERVIEW]

[INTERVIEW]

Hwang Hayun (IND // 11): If you want my honest opinion, Herin is too cute to be a rapper. But whatever, it's her choice. She's really nice though... she always makes us laugh in the dorm about the funniest things. But i can't tell you, that breaks our dorm pact.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): Number sixteen! Choi Seohyun, ton choix?

Choi Seohyun (IND // 16): Je choisis Into The New World!!

[INTERVIEW]

Choi Seohyun (IND // 16): Yes! Yes! Yes! This is my chance to prove that i'm not just a dancer or a pretty face. With my ranking falling, i really need to win this evaluation.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): And finally, number seventeen, Bae Chowon will take the final spot in Rhythm Ta.

[INTERVIEW]

Bae Chowon (IND // 17): It wasn't my first choice, but i think i'll be able to make it work.

[END INTERVIEW]

Park Jimin (National Rep): That was surprisingly easy, let's hope practice goes just as smoothly! Your first evaluation by the mentors is bright and early tomorrow morning, so while the trainees begin their rehearsal, I have something special to share with the national producers.

The girls file into their individual rehearsal rooms while Jimin directs the viewers attention to a screen.

Introducing: mentor picks! Each mentor chose one trainee as their top pick for the debut line up~ each trainee chosen will earn a benefit of 20,000 votes!

[KIM NAMJOON]

Kim Namjoon (Rap Mentor): So I really have to do this? Okay I guess... my top pick is Misae Nakamura. Even though she struggled in the last evaluation, she's proved herself as a strong and consistant main vocalist. I think she'll make it to the end.

KIM NAMJOON's PICK...
Misae Nakamura (Rank: 2)

[KIM HYUNA]

Kim Hyuna (Rap Mentor): My top pick is obvious: Lee Suran. In my opinion, one of the best rappers on the show. The group will need a strong rapper to create a tough image, proving that just because they're from a rookie company, and just because they're not traditional trainees, doesn't mean they can't kick a** and produce amazing music.

KIM HYUNA's PICK...
Lee Suran (Rank: 9)

[KIM CHUNGHA]

Kim Chungha (Dance Mentor): My top choice... it's hard because there are so many AMAZING dancers on the show... but honestly i think Kang Hyunjin stands out. She's not even a dancer, but she's just so cute and adorable, i love her visual. Total center material in my opinion.

KIM CHUNGHA's PICK...
Kang Hyunjin (Rank: 13)

[JUNG HOSEOK]

Jung Hoseok (Dance Mentor): To be honest i think a lot of the trainees are missing the technique part that makes dancing look really clean, but one trainee who has always stood out to me in that regard is Athena Park. She dances so smoothly no matter the concept, i really admire that.

JUNG HOSEOK's PICK...
Athena Park (Rank: 7)

[TIFFANY YOUNG]

Tiffany Young (Vocal Mentor): Of all the vocalists... Chaerin stands out to me the most. But it's a little bit unfair to call her a vocalist considering she is amazing at everything she's done. I would like to see her tackle a rap though, if she succeeded i suppose she'd be the perfect triple threat.

TIFFANY YOUNG's PICK...
Lee Chaerin (Rank: 1)

[JEON JUNGKOOK]

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): I choose Jhope hyung. He really suits girl group concepts and is really good at the dances.

A staff member whispers something to him.

Jeon Jungkook (Vocal Mentor): I choose Kim Sora because she has a good voice and would be an excellent lead vocalist. I think that with improvement she could also be a good dancer, and also she's been on every winning team so far??? like how???

JEON JUNGKOOK's PICK...
Kim Sora (Rank: 8)

Park Jimin (National Rep): Looks like things are moving quickly among the teams. Shall we see how their rehearsal is going?

[TEAM ???]

??? (??? / ?): I think i'd like this part.

??? (??? /?): I'll take this one.

??? (??? / ?): I'm fine with that...

??? (??? / ?): That was surprisingly easy.

[TEAM ???]

??? (??? / ?): I'd really like to perform a high note in this performance.

??? (??? / ?): Me too...

??? (??? / ?): Well the center gets the high note right? So who should be the center?

??? (??? / ?): I think *** should be the center because she's the prettiest.

??? (??? / ?): Why are we basing this off of looks? I don't think that's okay... we should do it based on talents.

??? (??? / ?): Well we're all talented so visual is the only way to decide.

The clip cuts back to Jimin, this time standing on a stage in front of an audience of people.

Park Jimin (National Rep): Looks like you'll just have to find out by tuning in for the next episode of Epanoui!

The camera pans the audience, holding banners for their favorite trainees and cheering loudly before cutting out.
