Erica thinks while both girls snipe and whine at each other. Erica offers to create a new position for Kendall, but she declines the offer. It's Greens job or nothing. When Erica refuses to fire Greenlee, Kendall says no deal and walks out. Erica then informs Greenlee that she IS going to give her job to Kendall. Greens is confused and angry.
