Sean hugs her caringly -- right response, wrong time, last straw, no fear -- and interviews that he's concerned because, though he does not have a medical degree or license, he can tell you that "coughing up blood is not good." It's like one of the five "ER now" symptoms of First Aid, I think. Adding well-meaning insult to injury, he calls her back from the door to hug her more and blabber at her, which almost kills her, but she takes the moment to...there she is. That's my girl. "I'm just really worried. I will come back when I can." She takes off, finally, and Sean's like, "The hell?" And Tammy's just like, "I know! I don't know! Coughing up blood!" Sean interviews the difference between a cold or slight flu, and what's going on here, is that she's bringing up "chunks of blood" from her chest. Whatever, Sean. Seanthusiasm does not apply here, because it seems like you kind of want her to drop dead or something, for the drama. Like how you don't really want your roommate to commit suicide, but your GPA could use the A's. Andrea cries and walks out of the Taj Mahal, cameras following behind, as Tarek identifies this as a "major roadblock," because Andrea is "brilliant and hard-working." I think Tarek gets her too: Tarek gets back on task and asks where the SLS banners are, and Tammy's like, "Somewhere? I'm out of it! Blood! She was coughing up blood!" Tarek worries for Sean, because he's a "man down."
The last shot is fucked up: Andrea crying, rushing down the foyer, and the voiceover and chyron come up announcing the phone-in winner, so it's like this.
Voiceover: "Congratulations to Abernathy Sneedler, our $10,000 winner!"
Andrea: Sniff. "Oh my God." I'm probably dying.
Nice. Next week: Live! Who will win? Competent but immature and fucking annoying and delusional and planless? Or gormless and distracted and Ebola? Whoever wins, Trump loses, and that means we do too. Voting -- for however that plays into the finale -- will be going on all week.
