The episode started with the men going at each other after their last win. Mark McGrath told the camera it was a miracle that the men had won. And the women were wondering how they could lose to a Gary Busey-lead team.

For this week, the two teams were tasked with creating a 30-second commercial spot for a new ACN video phone. NeNe and Lil Jon were the Project Managers for their respective teams.

After meeting with the company executives who emphasized the need for emotion in their ads, Team A.S.A.P. decided to tell a heart-warming tale of a father and mother calling their daughter who lives overseas in France. Marlee Matlin played the part of the mother to show that a hearing-impaired person can speak to her daughter on the video phone through sign language.

All seemed to be going OK for the women until they had to edit the the commercial late into the night. Diva Dionne asked NeNe if she could leave the team and go get some sleep. NeNe just looked at her and said “go,” but was not happy with Dionne’s move. NeNe told the cameras afterwards: “I am not her babysitter. She can leave anytime she wants to. But, daaamn, if everybody else is sticking it out, then so should she. Nobody cares about her being a legend!”

The men also met with the company execs who seemed quite conservative to Team Backbone but the guys decided to go a completely different direction than what the execs recommended: They gambled by going more modern and humorous and hoped to make their video ad go viral.

The back story of the men’s video involved a grandfather and grandmother calling their grandson (played by Jose Consaco) and meeting the grandson’s male fiancé for the first time through the video call.  

Dionne, on the other hand, gave The Donald some attitude. When he asked Dionne whom he should fire, the music legend replied, “I’m gonna take the opinion of everyone else, I’d fire me. Fire me!” Then she gave Donald Trump a defiant “I dare you to fire me” glare.

Star Jones spoke up and expressed her unwillingness to ever quit on her charity which made Dionne look even worse to The Donald who hates quitters in the first place.  Jones said, “May I just say this is endemic of one of the reasons why we lose. This is about charity. And I just could not imagine walking in here and saying to you, ‘you can let me go’ without having accomplished the reason of why I have come here.” Warwick then tried to back pedal and say “I would love to stay here, I am a team player,” but it was too little too late. “Dionne, you’re fired,” lashed Donald. And with those words, a whole bunch of people started cheering inside, both inside the boardroom and all across the world!

It was not over though. NeNe approached Dionne outside the boardroom, hugged her and said good-bye but Dionne lashed out: “You’re a coward, baby!” “Why am I a coward?!” asked NeNe, genuinely surprised. “Because you didn’t tell the truth!” said Dionne….and the women quibbled a bit….till Dionne said, “Let’s not do this!”

Meanwhile, inside the boardroom, Donald told Donald Jr. and Ivanka: “[Dionne] looked me in the eye and challenged me to fire her. And no one gets away with that!”
