A panel from **DragCon**, a drag convention in Los Angeles, this is the fifth bonus episode of Queens of Adventure. It features a unique cross-over of different casts of the show in a one-off, out of time adventure. It was later rereleased as the sixth episode of Queens of Adventure Legends.

## Synopsis

*For the full summary, please see the Legends Episode page*.

Four queens, from different hamlets across the mystical realm awake one morning in an unfamiliar room. Two of the queens, Erika Klash and Kitty Powers, recognize each other, otherwise all are strangers. They introduce themselves to the others, BenDeLaCreme and Fraya Love.

A giant Floating Baby appears and says they have been summoned from across the multiverse to find queens who are legendary.

They appear in a forest near a field of eggplants. The baby's first challenge leads Erika to shoot an eggplant Fraya love holds in her mouth.

The forest turns into a hedge maze filled with topiary animals. The queens follow clues to find specific animals, and eventually DeLa hands a bear topiary her knife so he can trim himself. The bear pushes open a door that leads to darkness.

At the end of the path they find themselves in the work room again, with four new doors. They choose one and find a medusa behind it, who attacks. The group manages to trap her in a net and shrink her.

The Baby call off the battle, frustrated by their teamwork and lack of competition. The baby demands to know what drag means to them. After a stirring answer from DeLa, the walls fall away revealing an audience of thousands of inter-dimensional beings. The baby reveals this was the test and asks the audience if these queens are worthy of being legendary. The audience cheers.

Each queen is returned home, wondering if it was all a dream until they each find a single eggplant in their arms.

## Behind the Queens

* This episode is the shortest live show to date, and other than the second half of Season 1 Episode 16's 2nd half, the shortest released episode to date.
* The story consists of many references to the two main drag competition reality tv series: RuPaul's Drag Race and the Boulet Brothers' Dragula, of which BenDeLaCreme and Erika Klash were contestants respectively. This fits the setting of the convention, which was founded by RuPaul's Drag Race.
* This show begins a pattern of every convention appearance featuring queens pulled out of time by the Giant Baby to prove their legendary capability.
