For Hydra, it's Lennox and Trace going to see the designers. Ivanka drops in on the Hydra war room and wonders where the other guys are. Piers is honest with Ivanka about what Vinnie is up to, and she's sort of on board, although she's disappointed in Omarosa for not seeing through it. After she leaves, Piers gloats to Stephen that Ivanka is backing them up on this. He understands that Stephen might not want to go back to his ministry after being part of corporate sabotage, but he doesn't have that problem. Piers also does not have Biodome on his resume, so it's not really a fair comparison.
Hydra meets with the designer, and Empresario meets with theirs. Don, Jr. comes in and is surprised to see Vinnie there. Vinnie explains about having flipped. Don, Jr. interviews (directly addressing the camera, which is a little creepy, on top of the preexisting baseline creepiness that is Don, Jr.) that he thinks this is going to work. And then he and Vinnie step off to one side, as Vinnie claims that he is really wanting to help the women win and see Piers fired. Don, Jr. thinks it's a risky strategy, but he'll wait to see how it plays out.
Back at Hydra, Trace is regretting the underhandedness of the whole spying thing, and speculates that karma might be about to bite Piers in the ass. Oh, Trace. Trump fired karma in the first season.
Trace calls Stephen back at the war room, and since their donation box is pretty much done, they can come back now. Piers interviews about how well he and Stephen work together, "despite detesting the sight of each other for most of the day." They even talk about stating a company together. And then Stephen screws it up by trying to convert Piers. Piers touchily says that he's already a believer, thank you very much; he was raised Roman Catholic, and points out that unlike Stephen, he's always been a good boy who didn't have to be born again to elevate himself from a life of depravity. He also adds that they both prayed to win The Apprentice, but only one of their prayers will be answered. Even that might be a little optimistic.
Over at Empresario, Carol is starring in the photo shoot for their campaign, right there in the hallway. Stephen and Piers come and watch for a while, trying to distract her like she's a midlevel contender on America's Next Top Model and not one of America's actual, literal, previous top models. After Carol's done, they come and knock on Empresario's door and mockingly reveal everything they know about the women's strategy. Nely and Carol quickly figure out the Vinnie has been ratting on them. Piers enjoys teasing, "Share the love," and later interviews, "Why would you trust a guy who came out of The Sopranos ever? Maybe because IT'S A TV SHOW. He goes back into the Hydra war room cackling, "Vinnie needs to get out of Brooklyn."
