 Kwame met Donald on the Taj Mahal's helipad. Donald wanted to see Jessica before the concert, so Kwame took Donald down to the site of the meet and greet. Kwame radioed Troy at the meet and greet and told him to keep Jessica there because Donald was on his way. Troy told both Heidi and Omarosa. However, when Trump arrived at the ballroom, Jessica was gone - and no one knew where she was. Omarosa had left with Jessica without telling anyone. Kwame said that Jessica was at the stage. Donald was a good sport and went to the stage. They looked around, but no Jessica. That's because Omarosa and Jessica had gone back to Jessica's suite. Kwame tried in vain to get a hold of Omarosa, but she wasn't answering her walkie-talkie or her beeper. Donald was tired of running around, but he was even more tired of Kwame not knowing where Jessica was. In an interview, Kwame said, "This is the first time I thought I could be fired."  Finally, they went to Jessica's suite, where Omarosa answered the door and greeted them with a big smile. In an interview, Kwame said, "Omarosa I would never hire because she's very intelligent, but she's a space cadet." At the concert, Donald introduced Jessica Simpson to a packed house. The audience, including Donald and Kwame, enjoyed the show.
 Both Bill and Kwame thanked their groups and headed back in their limos to Trump Tower for their final day of the boardroom - and the final elimination. Kwame said, "I'm going to try to respectfully take Bill down. And he's going to try to do the same." Bill said, "It's going to be a battle down to the end." But when Bill and Kwame arrived just outside of the boardroom, they were asked to wait. Donald wanted to talk to the members of their groups first.  So Amy, Nick, Katrina, Heidi, Troy and Omarosa headed into the boardroom. Donald asked for opinions. Heidi thought Kwame did a good job, but that he relied too much on Troy. Everyone who worked with Bill said he did a great job. Carolyn, who observed at the golf tournament, said Bill was exceptional. George, who observed at the concert, thought that Kwame was exceptional too. Donald asked about flaws. Amy, Nick and Katrina said that Bill's only problem was that he was frazzled at times. They said he needed to be calmer and not quite so on top of his people.  Omarosa, Heidi and Troy said they had the opposite experience with Kwame, who they said needed to be more expressive and hands-on. Donald cut to the chase. Who would each of them hire? Not surprisingly, Amy, Nick and Katrina said Bill, while Heidi, Troy and Omarosa said Kwame. Donald joked that the group had been no help at all. The former candidates exited.
