Overview: Janice tells the models of her general displeasure with her arrangement with Peter. This prompts several of the models to express their own displeasure, citing perceived financial improprieties which, in cutaway interview segments, Peter explains. Janice also expresses displeasure with some of her models, saying that some are under-performing. A tardy Maria Bernaldez enters the agency and Janice fires her on the spot. Janice then announces her intention to take a number of the models to Miami in pursuit international client Custo Barcelona and with the notion of possibly establishing a branch office in that city. Crystal Trueheart leaves for a modeling assignment in Hong Kong and interviews that she will then return to New York City. A saddened Chris Jones interviews that he will miss her, but shortly thereafter he becomes interested in seeing Alexis Hutt. Janice meets with Otto Models and forms an alliance with that agency to further her plan to remove Peter. In Miami, Custo Barcelona takes a preliminary look at the models. CC is upset to learn that Traci failed to tell her about the casting. The two later get into an angry confrontation. Janice arranges for the models to attend a party with a number of influential fashion industry insiders. She is infuriated to once again catch Brian Kehoe drinking and orders him to leave the party. She is able to book a number of the models for several jobs. This includes booking Alexis for a number of shoots, although Janice notices Alexis has fresh scars on her body. As a special treat, Janice takes the models out to dinner. At the dinner several of the models stand and pay tribute to Janice. After dinner she treats the models to a surprise salsa dancing lesson. Finally, she takes the models to a local club and surprises them with the news that they will be performing an impromptu fashion show for Ed Hardy. The models are flabbergasted that Janice would book them the night before their enormously important casting. |
