G-Ram brings them all, plus Louie the Lobster, down to Times Square to hand out flyers and try to get people to visit the restaurant tonight. It seems like everybody is basically only excited to see Gordon Ramsay, and could care less about the guy in the lobster suit or the Black Pearl. One girl even tells G-Ram she's actually planning on eating at his restaurant that night, bwahahaha nice. very nice. David says the whole thing is stupid and he would be very surprised if they saw any affect from it. I have to say I agree that it's not going to affect their restaurant in the long run, but if I knew G-Ram was going to be somewhere on a particular night, I would totally be there with bells on, and not much else. TMI?
You KNOW those are come-hither eyes.
G-Ram brings everyone back to the restaurant to show them the new menu. As usual, everything looks delicious and the staff are really into it, but David continue to complain and bitch and moan and say he doesn't like any of it. David is officially a two-year-old on a temper tantrum.
Gordon brings in a contract right before dinner service and has David and Brian sign, stating that Greg is now the official manager, and that any major changes will have to be put to a vote among the three of them, but day-to-day issues will be under Greg's control. David says something obnoxious and signs it, and Brian says nothing and signs it, true to form. G-Ram tells them that they are going to attend the restaurant tonight as guests, and that they should get the fuck out and come back at 6:30.
Before dinner service starts, Greg makes a speech about how everything is going to be wonderful and everyone is going to work really hard and unicorns and rainbows forever. Then paid actors start flooding in and so do the orders. David and Brian come in with an older-looking couple, and David asks G-Ram to meet his "closest friends." Your mom and dad, David, really? When G makes a snide remark, David comes back with, "Please, Gordon, I'm a guest!" G-Ram apologizes and seats them, and puts in a standing order for everyone in the kitchen to spit directly into anything coming out to David and Brian's table.
Things start getting hectic in the kitchen, and orders are getting messed up. During the entire service, David keeps making rude comments about the changes and writing down notes on paper napkin so he can intimidate--er, talk to Greg about them later.
Greg doesn't stop working, and they pull through a tough dinner service. Everyone seems pleased with the end result, and G-Ram sits down three owners for a final pep talk. He tells Greg he's got a huge heart and lots of passion, but that the other two really don't give a fuck. Brian remains mute (at this point, I'm not even sure if he can speak), but David tells G-Ram that he doesn't know what he's talking about. G-Ram says that he's never met someone so full of shit in his entire life, and then David sticks his foot so far down his throat it comes out of his ass a little.
I so would not want to be David right about now.
G-Ram calls him out on lying about his role in the restaurant, lying about the Canadian lobsters, and being a general twit. He tells David that he works his ass off for everything he has, and that David treats his staff like shit, particularly the scrawny, horny one who just wants to be loved. G-Ram says he's a hypocrite and he's been exposed, and David puts his fingers in his ears and starts bellowing "BLAH BLAH I CANT HERE YOU BLAH BLAH!" David tells G-Ram that "the great Gordon Ramsay is wrong" and if I were David, I'd be cowering and whimpering under the table right about now because not only are we dealing with a hot-tempered Brit, we're dealing with a hot-tempered Brit with fantastic knife skills.
I will cut you. I will cut you so bad... that... that you gonna wish I didn't cut you so bad!

Wow? They couldn't even make it to the post show bump?

Ha! They closed? That's a perfect ending. And they closed it pretty much immediately after the show aired? They probably timed that so the last shot of the show would not be a black screen with the words "The Black Pearl went out of business 2 weeks later." As if by avoiding that there might be a smidgen of doubt as to who's business ideas were right and wrong. Puhleeze. That David was one of the most spectacular twats I have ever seen. He never gave up on his delusional attitude. They never had a chance.
