Afterward, Michael shows up at Trump's real (I think) office to tell him he has a family/personal situation and has to head to San Francisco to take care of his son. Trump asks, without concern, if his son's okay. Michael says he's fine, and Trump asks if he's fighting with his wife. Um, what?! Why would he ask that? Michael says it's just a personal situation, and Trump asks if it was a total surprise. Michael says absolutely. Trump says, "Wow. This is a big one." That's what she said. Michael says he'd stay if this were avoidable, and he's hoping he can come back. He'll know when he gets to San Francisco. Trump doesn't think it's fair to let him come back since he'll miss some firings and too much time will pass. Michael agrees, and leaves. Then Michael tells his team goodbye, and Bret explains that Michael didn't want to get into it, but they respect him and support him as a team. Michael says he loves his team and wants to stay, but he has to get back and handle his situation. Bret thinks it's surreal to be down to three people.

Boardroom. Without Michael and Sharon, there are only eight people. Trump explains Michael departed without giving a real reason, and asks Goldberg about it. He says that if Michael left, he knows there was a damn good reason. Trump asks Curtis how he thinks his team did, and Curtis says they had some tough personal situations and it was a difficult task for them. Bret fills them all in on his daughter, who's nine. Trump asks if he'd like to leave or if it makes him want to fight more. Bret says he'd never want to leave and he would do anything for his charity, but if she's really sick, he would have to leave. Trump asks Holly how her team did, and she says they did really well and enjoyed themselves, even being a couple short. Trump asks about Sharon, and Holly says she's very ill. Trump asks if it's Sharon's way of escaping a couple tasks, but Holly says she's very ill. Trump says he gets that she's sick, but he can't let this go on much longer or it's not fair. He asks who did the least, and Holly says Cyndi, but that's because she had to go see the president. Trump thinks that's an acceptable excuse. Cyndi says she came back and worked. She says she loved the president and meeting him was awesome.
