Previously: Capricorn may have been secretly banging Red, for she threw a shit fit when he was eliminated for sucking in the nightclub challenge despite that being his actual real job; Boris was eliminated after he accused Kendra of plotting to murder someone and possibly the judges at well; and Kendra was eliminated for just gasping in disbelief at Boris's accusations and silently debating the pros and cons of strangulation versus electrocution instead of defending herself.

This leaves us with Suzanne, Stefanie, Poprah, and Mike still in the running. On last week's episode, they were given the assignment to plan an event for Bad Boy artist Janelle Monae. On top of that, all four finally found themselves truly acting as Diddy's assistants, having to cater to his every whim and even accompanying him on his run through Central Park (something Poprah's "asthma" got her out of again). Poprah's main task throughout the episode was to coordinate the guest list for the event, which proved to be nearly impossible as other people within Bad Boy refused to give her information despite repeated requests. By the end of the episode, Poprah still didn't have a guest list when Diddy demanded it from her personally, and she smarted off a bit, saying she can't invent it so WTF did he want her to do? Well what he wanted is for her to take her dumb ass out the door, so he told her she wasn't ready to work for Diddy. So is Poprah really fired, or was that just a clever cliffhanger?

We open up exactly where it ended last week -- Diddy firing Poprah, while everyone in the room stares in shock. Poprah tries to backtrack and explain again why she doesn't have the guest list, but Diddy isn't hearing it, politely but firmly telling her to get the hell out. He leaves and is replaced by disapproving Capricorn and Norma, who lecture Poprah on being insubordinate while Poprah struggles to not slap them across their faces. Using a fakely sweet voice that borders on condescending, Poprah repeatedly insists she wasn't being rude, but Cap and Norm disagree and tell her that her tone was inappropriate. Poprah finally gives up, tells them her firing was a "mutual decision." Whatever helps you sleep at night.

She's escorted out by security, waving at people throughout Bad Boy like she's Miss America, and answering Mike's phone call only to tell him she doesn't work for Diddy anymore and that she can't help him. In the elevator, she hits on the security guards, then goes on about how Diddy wanted to get rid of her for being over rather than under qualified, how one day Diddy will work for her, and other rantings of the delusional. Ugh, shut your trap. Thank God she's finally gone!

"God this bitch never shuts up... but I'd probably hit that."
"Yeah... me too."

With only three people now left, the workload has gotten even heavier and deadlines even tighter. Mike's in charge of going to the venue for the event and getting it cleaned and organized. Suzanne's taken over the guest list and is working the door as the scrawniest bouncer alive. Stefanie is Janelle Monae's bitch, and is trying to frantically clean her dressing room before she arrives, and stock it with Janelle's favorites -- Fiji water, natural honey, and pictures of Michael Jackson circa 1979 when he was rocking the same hairstyle Janelle has today.

But when Diddy and Janelle arrive, the entire showcase goes on without a hitch. Mike, Suzanne and Stefanie move quickly behind the scenes, taking care of hundreds of tiny little tasks with apparent ease. In fact, the only thing noteworthy about this entire segment is that Diddy acts like a goof when introducing Janelle, and Janelle's music is God-awful.
