On the Cycle 18 finale, Laura and Sophie battled it out for the final time. At their CoverGirl photo shoot and commercial, Laura had a panic attack and wound up in the hospital. More than anything, she felt embarrassed, having never experienced a panic attack before. As a result, Laura was forced to film her commercial at the Top Model house after returning from the hospital the next day.

Next, the girls shot their Vogue Italia spread, in which, unlike the CoverGirl shoot, Laura had the upper hand. This put the girls on an even playing field as far as the photographer was concerned.

At , the judges had a tough decision to make. Obviously both girls showed promise as models, but it wasn’t really a surprise when they declared Sophie the winner. It seemed unlikely that they would bother having a season titled “British Invasion” and not give the prize to a Brit. Not to say that Sophie didn’t deserve it. Both she and Laura are fantastic models and it could have gone either way.
