This week's task is to develop a new flavor of ice cream for Ciao Bella Ice Cream, and then sell the most. Mosaic developed Donut Flavored Ice Cream, and Apex developed Red Velvet Flavored Ice Cream. Then the teams moved to street corners to sell. Apex ran into a problem when the corner they chose was already occupied by a licensed vendor. Apex was forced to move to a new corner, but couldn't decide, so they split up in half. After passing by Mosaic's set up, Apex realized they should be together. Stacie J. was asked to give directions, and she made a mistake. Apex made $2,472.29; and Mosaic made $2,707.85. Mosaic was treated to champagne and caviar, and Apex was sent to the boardroom, where Bradford was fired for relinquishing his exemption from the boardroom..
