She may have lost the race but she bagged some extra cash!

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ season 16 brought back the eliminated queens for a lip sync smackdown prior to the finale episode and Morphine Love Dion ended up winning the side quest!

For the penultimate episode of the season, head judge and host RuPaul asked the eleven other eliminated queens back to the show, but instead of the typical shenanigans and shade-throwing that fans usually get in the reunion, they competed in a Lip Sync LaLaPaRuZa Smackdown.

The first match was between Dawn and Amanda Tori Meating which the latter easily won. The next game saw Megami competing and winning against Q, another queen known to be a weak lipsyncer. Morphine and Geneva Karr battled it out next, which ended with Morphine on top. Mirage won her match against Hershii LiqCour-Jete. Plasma, Xunami Muse and Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige were the last queens to lip-sync and Mhi’ya took the win.

The next round had Amanda versus Megami and Morphive versus Mirage. Megami and Morphine won their matches. Megami then chose a rematch with Mhi’ya which Megami surprisingly won.

In the finals, Megami faced off against Morphine and despite her humorous performance, Megami ultimately lost to Morphine.

Having eliminated nearly half the cast in both the regular season and the reunion episode, Morphine most definitely deserves having taken home $50,000 and the title of Queen of She Done Already Done Had Herses.

Now, the biggest question remains: who among Nymphia Wind, Plane Jane, and Sapphira Cristal will take home the crown? We’ll get our answer in the final episode which will premiere on April 19.
