The Firm: Season 2 - Episode 3

Client: Spritzer

The task: To create an informative and effective corporate tour of the Spritzer plant in Taiping, Perak, which clearly highlights the benefits of Spritzer's natural mineral water over RO water.

Team Asset
Team leader: Ain

With Chan Boon Yong away on business, a new corporate leader in the form of Emily Kok, director of Rentwise Sdn Bhd, comes on board temporarily to lead Team Asset. Ain is burdened with the task of leading the team to victory while at the same time trying to prove that she can be a likeable leader. Two people are not happy with the new Ain - Chris and Ain herself, as both feel that she is compromising too much to satisfy the rest of the team mates.
The team come up with a brilliant idea to execute a TV commercial which will highlight the benefits of Spritzer's natural mineral water over RO water but on shooting day, chaos ensues when it is apparent that everybody wants to play director! Chris is very against the whole going-on, due to a lack of storyboard or even a physical script, which Joo Lee says it's not necessary as it is all in her head! Despite his complaints, Chris doesn't seem to be too helpful either as he is clearly just voicing out his concerns without giving any solutions.

Team Equity
Team leader: Dian

First it was gout, next it is arthritis - and our good man Anoop makes his debut at the Spritzer plant in Taiping, Perak in a wheelchair! Things instantly become heated on preparation day when Anoop approaches the team with a proposal to go on 'sick leave'. Team Equity is clearly not happy with this as it spells unfairness for the team in the case if they lost and Anoop escapes the guillotine because he has an excuse.
Ridzuan, who still harbours much grudges against his team members for not letting him shine under the limelight in the previous task brings forth his diva attitude once again to demand that he lead the corporate tour. This time, he gets his wish.
Going forth with the theme 'Nothing is as Green as Spritzer', the team incorporates a nature 'feel' in their presentation with props such as a mini fountain and log-shaped seats. They also conducted several experiments and a humorous sketch to highlight the benefits of Spritzer's natural mineral water over RO water.

Verdict: While the video hit a nerve with the clients, unfortunately it wasn't strong enough in conveying the message and Team Asset makes a return to the boardroom.
Two names come up: Ain and Yuen Wai. Yuen Wai has been pinpointed as being the member with the least experience, a fact disputed by Yuen Wai himself as Joo Lee is also a student and Kian You is merely a recently graduated person. However, when it came to who had to be kicked out, Emily decides that Ain should leave as she had sacrificed too much of her original personality in leading the team, thus resulting in the team's defeat.
Ain makes a teary exit, with a lesson that a good leader is not one who is able to please anyone but someone who holds her own ground.

Next episode spoiler hint: Sexy promoter girls! And... will Anoop still remain in The Firm?
