The Firm: Season 2 - Episode 1

Client: C. Club

The task: To feature a special one-day set lunch menu for C. Club that will draw in more diners to the jewelery boutique cum restaurant. The winning criteria will be determined by the team that is able to provide the most satisfying dining experience to customers will win the challenge. This will be evaluated by the customers themselves via questionnaires which, they will need to fill in at the end of their meals.

Team Asset
Team leader: Terence
While it seems apparent that Ain seemed the person most suited to lead the team due to her experience in the F&B line, the opportunity was stolen away from her when Terence volunteers himself as team leader!
However, Terence's leadership skills lead to a lot of questioning. By delegating the leadership to both Ain and Chris on the inside and outside promotion respectively, where does that put him as the team's actual leader? Ain is very vocal about what she feels of Terence - and other team members share her sentiments - that of dissatisfaction.
The task seems to go quite well though. Featuring a chocolate fondue, 'Saturday Indulgence' was all about diners indulging themselves. However, corporate leader Chan Boon Yong didn't seem too happy with the elements brought in by Team Asset like the banner hanging from the balcony and the guitarists playing music to draw the crowd at the entrance as they clashed with the brand's image.
However, Team Asset goes on to win the task despite Team Equity winning on the criteria for the most satisfying dining experience.

Team Equity
Team leader: Anoop
With the theme 'Families are Forever', Team Equity set out to provide diners with an experience that emphasises on special moments with family. This includes presenting diners with a special photo memento of their dining experience at C. Club and complimentary body jewelery for children.
On task day, Anoop is seen limping about - he claims to be suffering from a bout of gout. A last minute change of plans and Anoop's constant limelight hogging leaves team members dissatisfied with his role as team leader. Promoters Boon Yew, C.A. and Ridzuan were unable to draw in much traffic to C. Club - and at one point, C.A. and Ridzuan were seen having their photo snapped up by some curious tourists!
Confusion is apparent on the faces of the members of Team Equity during the result announcement. They clearly managed to deliver on the winning criteria - but they lost anyway. What gives?
In the boardroom, Ridzuan makes an accusation that Anoop has been plotting to get him terminated from The Firm in the case that Team Equity lost - an agenda which, Anoop had 'secretly' disclosed to Team Asset.

Verdict: Team Equity lost - but nobody was terminated.
