the episode opens with a quick montage of the previous company auditions, showing moments of triumph and tension. the camera then cuts to the hosts standing on a grand stage seen from the beginning of the episode.

❛ TAEYEON ❲ host ❳
welcome back to project river, we have already witnessed some memorable performances, but there are still two more companies left to be evaluated by the ferrywomen.

❛ BOMI ❲ host ❳
the stakes are high, and the pressure is on as these trainees strive to rank high and secure their place.

❛ BOMI ❲ host ❳

the camera then shifts back to the river bank the mentors being seen again seeming more drained than when the episode first started.

❛ SEULGI ❲ d. mentor ❳
i feel bad for being so harsh to the trainees..

seulgi sighs flipping through the already filled out papers on each company the other mentors nodded silently

❛ MINZY ❲ d. mentor ❳
it's hard not to feel guilty but i think at the end of the day this will make them have a feeling of determination to prove us wrong.

soyou looks back at the trainees sitting in their chairs above the judges panel small chatter being heard from the girls that are still awake.

❛ SOYOU ❲ v. mentor ❳

soyou says a small smirk being seen as she remembers her time on produce 48, she picks up her mic shuffling through her papers before smiling as she find it

❛ SOYOU ❲ v. mentor ❳

suddenly pick me from produce 101 season 1 starts to play the trainees looking around some confused. the camera changes to catch the reaction of some of the trainees

jieun comes on screen looking down at the judges panel confused before looking toward ivy who was also looking at her just as confused.

jieun then looks back gasping loudly standing up excitedly.

❛ CHEON JIEUN ❲ cube | B5 ❳
IS THIS A DANCE PARTY??

the girl then pulls ivy up the dance with her the other trainees looking at the two chaotic girls before also joining in. the camera cuts to show a lot of the trainees now dancing along all seeming to be having fun, not a sleeping trainee in sight. it then cuts to show the mentors looking up at the trainees some shocked by how many know the dance and some laughing and smiling brightly at the sight of the girls still having fun after the rough first day.

❛ SEULGI ❲ d. mentor ❳
dance along soyeon~! it's from your season~!

seulgi yells over the music just enough that soyeon hears her shaking her head waving her hands quickly very obviously flustered by the sudden mention of her time on produce 101.

❛ SOYEON ❲ r. mentor ❳
it's their time to shine now not mine, i'd rather see them.

soyeon thinks for a moment it seems before queuing up a next song that seems to fade in as the 1st song ends. as the song comes on the girls look around excitedly some running down to the stage below to dance to it, into the new world by girls generation now playing. the camera zooms out to show all the girls dancing together in sync the judges shocked by how all of the girls seemed to know the lyrics and dance.

❛ MINZY ❲ d. mentor ❳
how do they all know the song?

as the song comes to an end a last and final song begins to play the trainees all seeming hyped up by now queen card begins to play the trainees now all enjoyed and hyped up as they sing along loudly all clearly having fun.

❛ HAN BYEOL ❲ rbw | F15 ❳
QUEENCARD IM TOP, IM TWEARKING ON THE RUNWAY

byeol dnaces along to the song jieun, ivy and vivian turn hyping her up jieun dancing too laughing loudly. the song comes to an ending the girls out of breath laughing  happily as they take their seats the camera zooming out to show the other trainees also sitting down in their chairs before going back to show the mentors minzy picking up her mic to talk to the trainees.

❛ MINZY ❲ d. mentor ❳

with the dance break segment over, the trainees seem energized and excited for what comes next

❛ YEZI ❲ r. mentor ❳

two girls walk out onto the stage one seeming beyond excited and happy the other one seeming more calm and collected.

❛ CHOI IVY ❲ jyp | ?? ❳
HI JIEUNNN!!

the girl waves at the older girl in the stands as she waves back to ivy just as enthusiastic causing the judges to laugh slightly from the cuteness and excitement from both the trainees.

❛ YEZI ❲ r. mentor ❳
please introduce yourselves.

❛ JYP TRAINEES ❲ lee hyoju & choi ivy ❳

the girl shrugs a cheeky smile seen on her face

❛ CHOI IVY ❲ jyp | ?? ❳

the girl then does a "serious" face crossing her arms trying to look like a security guard yet still somehow the girl comes off as cute either or.

❛ SEULGI ❲ d. mentor ❳
very intimidating, ivy~

seulgi cooed laughing slightly along with a few mentors before soyeon picks up her mic a very small smile seen on her face

❛ SOYEON ❲ r. mentor ❳
please reveal your personal ranks.

the two girls take off their stickers both smiling as they see ivys sticker hyoju patting the youngers back. the camera moves to show their ranks hyoju being 21 and ivy being 6.

as soon as ivy saw hyojus sticker however her smile quickly turned to a frown looking up to her teammates face to see her reaction being faced with a happy smile that can only be described as warm and reassuring, as if nothing in the world could shake her confidence yet also longing and worry. hyoju's eyes sparkled with pride for just a moment, and she gently squeezed ivy's shoulder, leaning in to whisper to the girl

❛ LEE HYOJU ❲ jyp | ?21 ❳
don't worry, we're both going to make it. just watch.

the mentors watched intensely at the interaction soyou frowning and turning her chair around as to not be seen leaning her head back wiping her eyes a little as the other mentors look towards her not sure what to do. yeeun eventually waves off the others as a "go on" and turns to comfort the mentor that was seemingly taken over with emotion by the girls unity.

❛ MINZY ❲ d. mentor ❳
you two seem extremely close, is that true?

hyoju looks toward ivy before back at minzy nodding

❛ LEE HYOJU ❲ jyp | ?21 ❳
ivy is a people person so she always has friends surrounding her, but i have been one of the first ones to be there and help her when she joined our company. i've been training for 6 years now... so i know... i know basically everything and nothing all at the same time..

hyoju looks off to try and find her words

❛ LEE HYOJU ❲ jyp | ?? ❳
i've watched a lot of trainees come and go throughout my years, but ivy is different for me. i want to watch her succeed, she deserves it more than anyone else i've ever met. she's special.

hyoju smiles lightly at ivy going to hold the girls hand the judges not knowing what to say seulgi and minzy seeming to understand the girls words deeply. the camera moves around to show some of the trainees tearing up some whispering to the people beside them before changing back to minzy as she talks.

❛ MINZY ❲ d. mentor ❳
i trained for 7 years so i understand what you mean fully. you're a sweet girl hyoju i hope you know that.

hyoju frowns and bows saying thank you.

the room falls silent a moment as soyou turns back around picking up her mic.

❛ SOYOU ❲ v. mentor ❳

the duo nods as they carefully get into position waiting for the music to begin the trainees cheering loudly.

seulgi smiles at the girls as she begins speaking

❛ SEULGI ❲ d. mentor ❳

the mentors get up and begin discussing hyoju being seen biting her lip nervously as she awaits the final decisions turning to ivy to make sure she's okay after a second only to find ivy smiling widely right back at her whispering

❛ CHOI IVY ❲ jyp | ?6 ❳

❛ SOYOU ❲ v. mentor ❳
ivy, you really stood out in this performance. your stage presence was solid, and you brought a lot of confidence to the song. however, both of you played it a little safe, don't you?

the girls look at each other not sure what to say

❛ SOYEON ❲ r. mentor ❳
you both have great skill sets, and it was clear that this performance fit your abilities perfectly. but we feel that you could have pushed yourselves more. you played it safe by picking something that was comfortable for you.

the mentors turn away from the stage to look at all the trainees getting along and bonding somewhat with the people around them.

❛ SOYOU ❲ v. mentor ❳

❛ KIM HANA ❲ p-nation | ?? ❳

the camera then moves to show their ranks enami rina being 9th, mimi being 20th and hana being 24th.

❛ SOYEON ❲ r. mentor ❳
how do you all feel about your ranks?

rina looks toward hana before looking back at the mentors beginning to talk

❛ ENAMI RINA ❲ p-nation | ?9 ❳
im happy for myself to be ranked this high, but i can't help but feel sad for my teammates who were not able to rank this high with me. i hope that we all can raise to the finale and debut together. i have hope.

the girls smile towards the oldest teammate the river bank clapping at the words hana seeming to be tearing up.

❛ KIM HANA ❲ p-nation | ?? ❳
i wasn't expecting to be last place.. i can only hope and improve from here to prove myself to the national producers in order to move up and hopefully make my debut.

mimi rubs the girls side smiling towards her deciding to mot comment on her rank.

❛ YEEUN ❲ v. mentor ❳

❛ YEEUN ❲ v. mentor ❳

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

ENAMI RINA as YOOYEON
KANG MIMI as CHAEWON
KIM HANA as YOOEUN

during the performance, the vocal mentors seem to be whispering among themselves as they try to pay attention.

❛ YEEUN ❲ v. mentor ❳
is she a vocalist?

soyou shakes her head as she flips through some papers

❛ SOYOU ❲ v. mentor ❳
doesn't seem like it.

some mentors seem confused with the performance while others seem extremely pleased with it as it comes to an end writing some stuff down on a paper. mimi standing out to the judges most.

the judges all look among themselves before looking back at the trio

❛ YEZI ❲ r. mentor ❳
please give us a moment to discuss.

the mentors all get up and seem to huddle together as they whisper while pointing to things on their papers.

❛ YEEUN ❲ v. mentor ❳
i feel like this girl did perfect, i have no complaints at all

❛ SOUOU ❲ v. mentor ❳
i have to agree this one was good too, although this one i was wondering why she was even singing..

❛ SEULGI ❲ d. mentor ❳
this girls dancing could've been better..

❛ YEZI ❲ r. mentor ❳
i was a little disappointed there was no rap.. but the song is more vocal based so i guess i can't complain too much

after what feels like forever to the p-nation trio, the mentors finally return to their seats facing them
once again. yeeun starts as she picks up her mic.

❛ YEEUN ❲ v. mentor ❳
mimi and hana, your vocals were good. mimi, yours was my personal favorite however you were extremely stable.

❛ SOYOU ❲ v. mentor ❳
i really enjoyed hana's voice as well, there's definitely need for improvement on some things but it's a good place to start.

soyou then sighs looking towards yeeun who nods slightly

❛ YEEUN ❲ v. mentor ❳
rina, are you a vocalist?

rina steps forward shaking her head

❛ ENAMI RINA ❲ p-nation | ?9 ❳
im a rapper, my second skill is vocal though.

yeeun nods slightly pursing her lips together

❛ YEEUN ❲ v. mentor ❳
there is a lot of work to do in vocal if you're going to use it in performances.

rina nods as seulgi goes to speak as well

❛ SEULGI ❲ d. mentor ❳
i do just want to add one more thing to you and then we can move onto ranks, your dancing definitely has room for improvements but i think with your rank you will greatly benefit from it and improve along with the other girls in your rank.

rina bows and says thank you stepping back into line as the mentors look among each other before starting to speak again.

mimi smiles brightly, embracing her teammates. hana looks on with pride, while rina, though initially in shock, has a determined look forming on her face. as the girls walk off the stage, the scene shifts dramatically. the lights dim, and the stage darkens, revealing a riverbank on the large screen at the back. the haunting imagery of the river styx flows across the screen, setting an ominous yet captivating tone.

two women, bomi and taeyeon, the hosts of project river, walk back onto the stage. the mentors—soyeon, yezi, minzy, seulgi, yeeun, and soyou—join them, standing in a formidable line. the stage lights slowly turn on, illuminating the mentors and hosts in a soft, ethereal glow. the trainees cheer loudly, excitement and anticipation filling the air as the familiar faces of their guides come into focus.

❛ TAEYEON ❲ host ❳
congratulations to all the trainees for completing the company auditions. you've faced your first challenge, but the real journey begins now.

❛ BOMI ❲ host ❳
you've all shown us your strengths and weaknesses, and now it's time to take what you've learned and grow even further. with the auditions behind us, it's time to reveal your next step your dorm assignments.

the screen behind them transitions to a visual of the dorm assignments, showing the names of the trainees in their respective groups under the names of their dorms.

❛ TAEYEON ❲ host ❳

the camera pans across the faces of the trainees, capturing their varying emotions—excitement, nervousness, determination—as they look at the screen, seeing who they'll be spending the next phase of their journey with.

❛ BOMI ❲ host ❳
these dorms will be your homes, but also your battlegrounds. Rely on each other, push each other, and grow together. the path to the other side of the river will be tough, but remember, you're not alone.

❛ TAEYEON ❲ host ❳
As soon as you are released, you'll move into your dorms and begin the next phase of your training. we expect nothing but your best as you prepare for the challenges ahead.

❛ BOMI ❲ host ❳
so, get ready, because the real journey through the river styx begins now. and remember, only the strongest will reach the other side and begin their path in hades.

the mentors and hosts take one last look at the trainees before the lights dim, leaving the river styx shimmering on the screen, symbolizing the path that lies ahead.

the camera pulls back, showing the trainees exchanging glances, some whispering to each other in anticipation of what's to come.

the camera changes to show livi and youra looking towards each other

❛ LIVI HAN ❲ mnh | D12 ❳
I GET A ROOM WITH YOU???

youra smiles happily at her label mate nodding

❛ KIM YOURA ❲ mnh | C13 ❳

livi squeals happily as she covers her mouth

❛ LIVI HAN ❲ mnh | D12 ❳
we're going to build forts... and bake cookies... and eat ice cream... and watch movies.... and...

livi seems to keep rambling on and on as youra smiles listening intently love and happiness evident on her face.

the camera fades out as the trainees seem to start getting up to head to the dorms. the screen transitions to the project styx logo with the details for voting displayed showing right after as well as the girls current personal ranks.
