The teams are brought back in, and Deutsch gets Trump on the phone. And calls him "Big Guy," which...just, no. Trump asks how the teams did, and basically Deutsch tells him that Apex made New York look like "a police state." "You can't do an effective recruiting campaign and at the same time freak 12 million New Yorkers out." Heh. He then turns to Mosaic and says that they followed the task, and were very effective without being scary. Not even close, Deutsch says -- Mosaic by a landslide. Elizabeth looks ill. Trump tells Mosaic that they will be picked up at 9:00 AM tomorrow for their surprise reward. And oh, losers? One of you will be fired.
The next morning, Mosaic takes the Trump limo out as Andy crows in an interview that the rest of these fools now know that they were led to victory by the kid they all wrote off. Which is a moment he's basically entitled to, considering how they treated him. The team gets out of the limo in Times Square. And when they look up at the big...whatever, Jumbotron...they see that their commercial is running. And it never will again, because it really is not professional-looking, but good for them anyway. Maria, of course, takes full credit for the entire thing, and for how rewarding it was to see her work -- by which she means Andy's work about which she fought him every step of the way -- up there on the big screen. I think she still wishes it had more tight asses.
Wes and Elizabeth talk back at the suite later. He tells her to "curse as much as possible" in the Boardroom. Heh. He also tells her that her best shot is to be opinionated and strong, and to hope her opinion is the same as Trump's. It's actually spot-on advice, which kind of surprises me, since it's...you know, Wes. As Elizabeth works on the computer, she says she fully expects to have the finger pointed at her in the Boardroom. And then Jen -- determined to keep up the trend of everyone I once liked totally sucking ass -- actually pulls Wes aside and lectures him about how he shouldn't have given Elizabeth any Boardroom advice. Excuse me? What fucking business is it of hers? He can talk to whomever he wants, you buttinsky! For crying out loud, what has come over the formerly sane? "It's not fair," she whines. Wes insists that all he told Elizabeth was, "Don't be a pussy." And that was on the air! Unlike "JAPs," which was censored in my time zone. Oh, what a world.
