Having seen and heard enough, Jonathan lowers the boom on Brandon. Brandon seems disappointed but unsurprised by the decision. At first Jonathan is conflicted by his actions, but is later infuriated to learn that, in addition to everything else, Brandon asked out one of his clients inside the salon.

Down a designer, Jonathan takes on extra work when he volunteers his staff to do hair at the Rock & Republic fashion show. In a meeting, the designers request wild, ""warrior""-woman hair. Jenn is reluctant to participate because of her strongly held anti-fur and anti-leather beliefs. Jonathan is disappointed to hear that she won't be joining them, but the show must go one even without one of his top stylists.

At the show, Alicia is upset when the area in which she was planning to work is taken over by Jonathan and Edward, a top freelancer from West Hollywood. She leaves in a huff, but the others simply work without her, creating high volume, ""Barbarella"" hair for the models.
