Lesson Three: Finite & Infinite Games

Stefani: "What the hell did you do?"
Michelle: "Don't do that."
Stefani: "What did you do?"
Michelle: "Don't do that."
Stefani: "Man, are you... "
Michelle: "Just stand behind me?"
Stefani: "You're out of your mind."

I mean, if this were a story, she'd be so awesome. I think it's lovely -- and the fact that it dovetails with the unutterable fact that this show is bullshit, I'm sure that's part of my delight here. She says goodbye to her teammates and finishes packing. James -- who's always been committed to the process, and scared of the boardroom -- is scowling and pissed, in utter shock. "I haven't quit anything since I was three," Michelle says, and Stefani -- still pissed at her for giving up, and the only one who's not taking this personally -- notes that now she has. "Big deal," she snorts. The amount of over it she is is, like, totally inspiring. Tim talks about how angry he's going to be if Trump fires another person from Team Michelle -- he's obviously not going to, because he would only punish them if it would create more drama, and it won't now that she's gone, because an absent scapegoat is no scapegoat at all -- and Michelle says, "Tim, do not even go that route." Even in her last seconds, she still talks weird. Frank worries that he really might, and Michelle tells him to chill. Tim interviews about how angry and endangered-feeling he is right now. Over the hedge, Angela and Kristine and Derek are listening intently and piecing together what happened. Derek: "Oh, shit!" They laugh and get very wiggly.

"Mr. Trump is a person who has voiced his opinion very strongly in the past about never quitting. I knew Mr. Trump would respond that way." Michelle rolls her eyes in interview: "I don't...care." So awesome. She puts on her pink coat and grabs her bags, and the Arrow girls stare from under a blanket as she heads off down the driveway. The phone rings, as Stefani and James quietly wig out, and Frank answers. It's Andie. "Since Michelle quit, Mr. Trump feels nobody else on her team deserves to be fired. Mr. Trump has cancelled the boardroom." Because Trump, just like everybody else, can step outside the rules of the game whenever he wants, and feel good about it because he's the boss. Frank jumps around screaming and screaming, just like you knew he would, and he hugs Tim and Nicole. Down near the street now, to the sound of their jubilation, Michelle waves hilariously: "Bye, guys." They cheer and hug and wig out some more: We get to live like homeless people some more! AWESOME!
