From Miami to Mykonos, she has built a drag dynasty. Host, performer, drag mother, and now a queen of Season 18 of RuPaul's Drag Race, it's Athena Dion!

Athena looks stunning and snatched as she opens up about creating the legendary House of Dion and reveals how she chooses her daughters, including fan favourites Morphine Love Dion and Plane Jane — two queens who couldn't be more different.

We also get into what it was like watching both of them compete together on Drag Race before she ever stepped into the Werk Room herself.

Then there's the history-making moment: Athena became part of the franchise's first grandmother-granddaughter lip sync. She shares how she found out the lip sync was coming, what was going through her mind in that emotional moment, and why Drag Race ultimately shattered her own glass ceiling.

We also dive into dating, whether she'd ever hook up with a fan, balancing boy life and drag life, and why finding love took a back seat to chasing her biggest dream.

Plus, Athena weighs in on toxic queer fandom, queer joy versus queer hate, local drag communities, and the importance of supporting queens beyond television.

And because it's THiRSTY BOYS, things get chaotic: Miami versus Mykonos, who's the trade of the season, who'd survive a Dion Lalaparuza, and which queens are most likely to get arrested.

Funny, thoughtful, and always unfiltered, this episode shows exactly why Athena Dion is the mother of one of drag's most iconic families.
