**This article contains spoilers for *The Masked Singer* season 14 episode 6, "*Twilight* Night."**

This week's episode of *The Masked Singer* really had a lot of bite to it.

Just ahead of Valentine's Day, Wednesday's show was "*Twilight* Night," dedicated to the film saga and its epic love story. To that end, special guest star singer-songwriter Christina Perri took the stage to perform her hit, "A Thousand Years."

The 2011 ballad, which was written by Perri and her producer David Hodges for *The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1*, was accompanied by a dance representing the love triangle between vampire Edward Cullen, human Bella Swan, and werewolf Jacob Black. (And we definitely didn't see that one coming.)

While the episode was full of blood-sucking fun, it only featured four masks this time around. Cat Witch sang “It Will Rain” by Bruno Mars to kick things off on a high note, 14 Karat Carrot went next with “Tainted Love” by Gloria Jones, Stingray brought his hip gyrations to “Bad Habits” by Ed Sheeran, and Owl ended the night with “White Wedding” by Billy Idol.

Speaking of love stories, things got a bit weepy when Owl received a phone call clue from his Valentine. After some sniffles, he said, "It's great being with y'all and give it up for the dancers and the lady in red out there with the cabaret, I mean, wow."

After all of that, it was time for the first vote of the night. Cat Witch and 14 Karat Carrot were picked to move on, which left Stingray and Owl to battle it out in the Vampire Royale. Fittingly, both contestants had to perform their own version of Pat Benatar's classic power ballad "Love Is a Battlefield."

But when it was all said and done, Stingray was chosen to advance in the competition while Owl was sent back to the nest. In what has become a rarity this season, none of the panelists correctly guessed the celebrity beneath the mask. Robin Thicke guessed Dennis Quaid, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg and Ken Jeong tag-teamed it and went with Ted Danson, and Rita Ora chose Kurt Russell.

When the giant Furby — uh, sorry, Owl — unmasked once and for all, it was two-time Grammy winner and "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner Billy Ray Cyrus. His appearance on the show comes two seasons after *The Masked Singer* did a special themed night dedicated to his daughter, Miley Cyrus.

And with that, only 10 contestants remain in the competition, including all three wildcards. Who will be eliminated next? What other wild interpretive dances will we get as part of these themed nights? Find out when *The Masked Singer* next airs, on Wednesday, Feb. 25.**
