We open with a recap of Bossy Boss Man Jeff not fitting in, while Dawn and Crazy Jim head back to the loft. Inexplicably Crazy Jim is hugged by his teammates. Crazy Jim proceeds to explain how he was responsible not only for having Bossy Boss Man Jeff fired, but that he could have anyone else fired if he wanted to. Crazy Jim has issues, chief among them: he's crazy. Nuts. In the on-screen confessional Crazy Jim babbles on about how great he is, arms flailing wildly as the last remnants of his anti-psychotic medication leaves his bloodstream.
Next morning: New York City montage! It must be morning. A call comes to the loft: Martha wants the teams ready at 9:00 a.m. and they meet in front of the giant TV monitor and are greeted by Martha, as she talks about flowers and, well, I learned something here...flowers have strange names, and Martha knows them all. The task for the teams: open up a store to sell flowers. Yay! Chuck is Team Matchstick's project manager, who decides to go with a tulip display.
Out on the town, Weepy Chuck and a couple of his Matchstick teammates are scouting out flowers. Weepy Chuck (soon to be Quitter Chuck) is trying to communicate his ideas on how to run the shop to Crazy Jim and Unknown Contestant (er...a woman...I'll call her Yelling Lady) are trying to wrestle control over a cell phone to scream random stuff at Weepy Chuck. Crazy Jim is really crazy in this scene. Why is he still on the show? The man is seriously disturbed, much more so than Stacie J. from The Apprentice (sure, she had the Magic 8-ball thing, but Crazy Jim is just nutso). The screaming continues over the phone and it's clear that having a whole bunch of "creative" people on the same team is a recipe for disaster.
Back in the loft, Weepy Chuck announces his plans to retire from the show. He can't handle his crazy, disorganized team. There is a mild response to this. Crazy Jim, chugging a Red Bull (dude, try orange juice, you don't need all that caffeine), is trying to get Chuck to stay — so he can blast his ass out of the boardroom, er, conference room.
After receiving a head massage from a couple of his female teammates, Weepy Chuck becomes Aggressive Chuck and he barks out his plans for the flower shop.

Martha was more brutal this week ("Women in business don't cry, my dear."), which made this week's episode less wussy than last week's. Which is a good thing. I did prefer "good bye and good luck" to "you don't fit in." That line was too reminiscent of the search for INXS' new lead singer...

I think this show is a total disaster. After watch 10 minutes. I want to turn the TV off. Martha is very weak compare to Donald Trump.
