 When Heidi and Omarosa returned from the boardroom, the group showered Heidi with congratulations and big hugs. Omarosa didn't get so much as a handshake. Then, emotions boiled to the surface as Heidi and Omarosa got into it again. Heidi was angry that Omarosa had told Mr. Trump that she thought Heidi was unprofessional and had no class. Omarosa defended her actions.
 The teams then met Donald at a luxury building that he was renovating in order to resell as individual units - with the top penthouse going for 35 million dollars. Because Protégé was down by two team members, they were allowed to draft one person from Versacorp. They picked Amy, who didn't seem thrilled at the prospect. Nick was also sorry to see her go, saying that she's a great girl.  For the next project, the teams would do something in real estate too, but on a slightly smaller scale. Both teams would see the same two apartments. They would negotiate with each other and each end up with one of the properties. Then, they would each renovate and rent their apartment. The team that rented their apartment at the greatest percent increase over starting market value would win. For this task, Donald's associates, Bernie and Carolyn, would observe.
 Versacorp chose Katrina to be Project Manager because of her extensive real estate experience. This made Troy, Project Manager for Protégé, nervous. Both Katrina and Troy toured the two properties. Although the first property had a higher assessed value, both Project Managers had their sights set on the second apartment because they thought it had more potential.  When it came time to negotiate, Troy wouldn't divulge which apartment he wanted first; however, he overheard Katrina telling her team that the second apartment had more potential. When Katrina suggested they each write down which place they wanted on paper in order to reveal their choices simultaneously, Troy decided to "get her goat" and wrote: "I want exactly what you want."  This infuriated Katrina. She realized he had overheard her earlier conversation and thought he was being sleazy. She called Troy "the most dishonest person" she'd ever met. Because the two couldn't agree on how to negotiate for the properties, they ended up simply flipping a coin. Troy won and chose the apartment that they both wanted. Katrina became even more enraged.
