Episode 3

The trainees film themselves individually performing X1-MA as their fellow grade members watch. Each video is watched by the mentors, who then reevaluate the trainees. After the re-evaluation, they are given their new grade and asked to move to their new rooms corresponding to their rank. Following the reorganization, they are told that instead of voting for the center position amongst themselves, the national producers voted. DSP Media's Song Dong Pyo, Brand New Music's Kim Si Hoon and Top Media's Kim Woo Seok are shown to be the top 3, with Song Dong Pyo ultimately winning the coveted center position. Not long after, they film the music video.

The trainees begin their second mission - Group X Battle. Unlike the previous season where trainees competed against each other with the same song, the songs they are competing with a group;s debut song versus a hit song. The teams are: EXO's 'Mama' v. 'Love Shot', BTS's 'No More Dream' v. 'Blood Sweat and Tears', MONSTA X's 'Trespass' v. 'Dramarama', Seventeen's 'Adore U' v. 'Clap', NU'EST W's 'Deja Vu' v. 'Where U At', Wanna One's 'Energetic' v. 'Light', NCT U's 'The 7th Sense' v. 'Boss', and GOT7's 'Girls Girls Girls' v. 'Lullably'. All songs are performed live and each member is voted on by the auidence individually. The group with the highest score among the two wins and gains a benedit of 3000 bonus votes for each of its members, with the highest ranked member will gain a benefit of having his score multiplied by 10 in addition of the 3000 bonus votes. The group with the highest votes will later perform on M!Countdown. Rehearsals and performances of 'MAMA', 'Love Shot' and 'No More Dream' are shown this week. The episode ends with the current ranking with OUI Entertainment's Kim Yo Han maintaining his 1st place position following by Jellyfish Entertainment's Kim Min Gyu and Brand New Music's Lee Eun Sang.

Episode 4

The rehearsals and performances of the remaining teams are shown. Monsta X's Joohoney (Jooheon) appears as a special trainer. After the last performance, trainees are shown their rankings that are purely based off the audience votes and see the significant changes once the bonus votes are awarded. Source Music's Kim Hyun Bin places 1st in individual votes. His team, BTS's 'No More Dream' (composed of Source Music's Kim Hyun Bin, Individual Trainee's Kim Sung Yeon, Urban Works Media's Hong Sung Hyun, DS Entertainment's Steven Kim, Happy Face Entertainment's Won Hyun Sik and Gost Entertainment's Lee Sang Do) also earned the most points in the group battle competition, earning the opportunity to perform a special M!Countdown stage.
