Episode Recap
Before the dust even settles on last week's blowout, and before Arsenio is able to calm down from his meltdown, Lisa’s goes fighting mad and has a mental breakdown.
The task for tonight will be for the teams to produce a 60-second commercial for Entertainment.com. The episode is titled “Ad Hawk” and each team has to write, produce and direct the commercial. The project manager of Forte will be Dayana and the project manager of Unanimous will be Teresa.
LIVE SHOW RECAP
The episode starts in the War Room where Lisa is concerned Aubrey being MIA. Lisa calls Arsenio a “Bitch Ass Mother F*cker.” Arsenio continues to rant and calls Aubrey a bitch and a whore. He sure does not mince words, does he? Arsenio justifies his name calling by saying Aubrey disrespected him. Lisa screams at Arsenio to stop “bitching and whoring” cause every woman in America is going to hate him.
Lisa has a mental break down of her own when she sees Dayana and Lou walk back in, safe from the boardroom, because she thinks they both have five brain cells between them. Lisa calls Lou a "f*cking loser" and storms out of the room.
Arsenio won $50,000.00 for the Magic Johnson foundation and tells over Skype about his cousin who dies recently. Arsenio later admits he didn’t handle Aubrey correctly, but he is just going to move on and focus on his charity.
TASK:
The celebrities meet up with Donald Trump and Aubrey is back all of the sudden. She is now "taking a stand against these bullies." The celebs are standing in the R Lounge in the Renaissance Hotel above Time Square. Their task this week is to create a 60-second commercial promoting Entertainment.com. Dayana immediately offers to be Project Manager as does Teresa. Winning Project Manager will get $60,000.00 for her charity.
Aubrey confronts Arsenio and says she didn’t want to come back to the show because of what he said to her and that he really hurt her feelings. Arsenio admits that he was angry but says he did not want to hurt her and apologized.
On Forte, Dayana starts to share her ideas with her team and Penn likes them for being real. She wants to portray a love story: From first date, to honeymoon to having children. Dayana choses to use two actors but Lou thinks they could have done the scenes themselves and the team could have used his star power. Lisa finds Dayana to be less annoying when she is in charge. And she's surprised. Penn is just happy that the women are getting along. Dayana rejects Lou's ideas on camera angling to expose the branding.Penn leaves due to work commitments. Donald Jr. comes to see them and says Dayana is doing a good job. Lisa says Dayana has contributed more on this task than Lou has. Dayana asks Lou to do the logos on banners on the computer but he says he does not feel comfortable with computers. Dayana and Lisa have to help him and Lisa utters under her breath that Lou is useless. Dayana and Lisa work on editing. Lou tries to make a suggestion about branding again but neither Dayana or Lisa want to hear it. Lisa mutters under her breath that Lou is “Eye Candy" with no valuable contributions.
On Unanimous, Aubrey is biting her tongue and not happy about it. Arsenio creates the concept which gets Teresa's stamp of approval. Their idea is to have a man listening outside his daughter’s door, thinking she's having sex. Teresa wants a fun commercial but rightfully believes this maybe a bit too racy. Paul gets a makeover to play the dad in the commercial; a Clark Griswold. Aubrey finds it painful to watch Teresa direct the commercial. Clay Aiken is happy that Aubrey and Arsenio had words because she's been knocked into alignment. Ivanka Trump comes for a visit and says seeing Paul dressed like a dweeb has been the highlight of her week. When she asks the team how things are going, they tell her everything is great. Ivanka see that they are lying to her and doesn’t like that Aubrey again stood up to explain the task, taking over. Arsenio and Clay are editing and running out of time.Teresa is set to go after Clay and Arsenio and their editing if her team loses.
THE COMMERCIAL
Teresa’s commercial was not very well done. In fact, the ad dissed old-fashioned coupons which is part of Entertainment.com’s product line. Dayana’s team had a better commercial from a brand-messaging standpoint.
BOARDROOM
Lisa tells Donald Trump that Lou was the weakest link. Lou says Lisa is disrespectful by calling him a loser and that if she were a man, he'd put her through the wall. Lisa says that is a threat and does not remember calling Lou a loser. Lou says Lisa has a filthy mouth and is nasty. Lisa tells Lou to get ready for the elevator ride down.
Lisa says Dayana was a great PM, shocking Trump.
Teresa’s team seems to get along in the boardroom. When Trump asked Teresa who was the weak link, Teresa didn’t want to answer. Trump then reminded her that last time this happened, two people were fired, so she better answer.
Ivanka says Teresa did not control Aubrey and added that Aubrey alienates people because she talks over others.
Aubrey tells Trump that she is done snivelling. Donald asks Arsenio if he is friends with Aubrey now and he says yes and that there was peace during the task. He said he probably got the right results with the wrong words.
Donald asks Clay what he thought and Clay agrees the atmosphere is good. Clay liked working with Teresa and that she stepped up to the job.
When Trump shows the commercials to everyone, shockingly, Lou says he liked the other team’s commercial better. Lisa calls it a Benedict Arnold move, but that he could do that since he had nothing to do with making his own team's commercial.
TASK WINNER:
Teresa's team wins!
Dayana sends Penn to safety. It's now between her, Lou, or Lisa who will be fired. Lisa again falsely claims that Lou threatened her.
THE FINAL BOARDROOM - WHO WAS FIRED?
Donald asks Dayana why shouldn’t he fire her. She has no answer. Lou uses his usual excuse but says he gave 100%. He adds that Lisa has a negative attitude and uses the F word all day long. Ivanka asks Lou if it is a negative thing to have liked the other team's video better. He blames his deafness on having been quiet. and Lisa says Lou uses his hearing deficiency as an excuse. Donald Jr. says he is torn because Lou said the other team’s video was better but he does like that Lou told the truth.
Lisa says she would fire Lou because he did nothing on the task. Dayana says she should be spared because the execs liked her video as much as the other one. Donald is bothered by Lou saying he liked the other team's video. So, he fires Lou!
