The contestants organized themselves into seven teams of 9 for each Unit.

Additional teammates included Gaeul from S.I.S, Lee Suji, Euna Kim, Jiwon from GOOD DAY, Chaesol from GOOD DAY, and Janey. While the group performed well in rehearsals, on stage Anne made a critical error towards the end. Ultimately their team placed third in Unit G.

Additional teammates included Yebin from DIA, Somyi from DIA, Yeoeun from Melody Day, Chahee from Melody Day, Yoomin from Melody Day, Han Seo In, and Lee Borim.

Contestants chose one of the given songs of different concepts that they were confident in, and from those results new teams of nine were formed. Voting of each contestant was conducted during the performances. The winning team with the most votes won a benefit of immunity from elimination in the first elimination round, regardless of overall vote rankings of the show, plus the chance to perform in Rain's comeback stage.

Additional teammates included NC.A, Gaeul from S.I.S, Shin Jihoon, Lee Joohyun, Lee Hyunjoo, Han Seoin, and Genie from GOOD DAY. During rehearsals, they took a break right before mentor Jo Hyun Ah arrived to evaluate them, and though the production crew managed to bring them back, Hyun Ah was dissatisfied with their level of preparedness and refused to give them feedback.

Following their performance, Eunji placed seventh out of her teammates as an individual, receiving 116 votes. The team had an overall total of 1,266 points, placing them fifth.

Yujeong chose to perform "**Red Flavor**" by Red Velvet as a part of Team Orange. The leader of the team was Yuji from Apple.B. Additional teammates included Jiwon from GOOD DAY, I, Yebin from DIA, Lee Suji, Sebin from S.I.S, Dan-A from MATILDA, and Lucky from GOOD DAY. Yujeong explains in confessionals that she chose the song because it had a different vibe from the songs Brave Girls sings and she wanted to try it. During rehearsals, the group struggles to adapt the original 5 member choreography to suit 9 people, with their initial arrangement being too busy.

Following their performance, Yujeong placed fifth out of her teammates as an individual, receiving 98 votes. The team had an overall total of 1,051 points, placing them sixth.

**Date of Broadcast**: December 16, 2017

Contestants were grouped by the mentors based on the following categories: Vocal, Rap-Vocal and Performance. All performances were self-arranged by the contestants themselves, with live band accompaniments for the Vocal and Rap-Vocal categories. The mission was based on a rival match basis. Voting of each contestant was conducted during the performances. The top 3 members of the winning category team for each gender won a benefit of immunity from elimination at the end of the 2nd voting round, regardless of current overall vote rankings in the show.

Yujeong was assigned to the Blue Team, one of the Rap-Vocal Units, which is assigned to perform "**Blood Sweat & Tears**" by BTS. The leader of the team was Han Areum. Additional teammates included Chahee from Melody Day, Kwon Haseo from Real Girls Project, Janey, and JOO. During rehearsals, they decide to go with a Vampire theme, but during the mentor check they are advised that their portrayal is too ambiguous. As preparations continue, Han Areum is not able to rehearse much with the group due to getting sick.

Following their performance, their rival team was declared the winner of their match up. Yujeong placed fifth out of her teammates as an individual.
