Julie is still in turmoil over Tony’s bully boy tactics and tells him that he will have to fire her as she isn’t willing to choose one of the others. Tony is having non of it though and tells her to come back to him with another name.

Meanwhile Julie is relieved when the new boss tells them that all their jobs are safe for the time being, leaving Tony feeling usurped and foolish.
