This week is an emotional rollercoaster for Paula. Continuing from last week she remains stranded in Philadelphia due to the snowy weather but she is keeping in high spirits with her assistants by playing pranks when they arrive back at the hotel at 2am. Paula finds herself rolling on the floor in hysterics after she plants a suspicious looking lump of beef jerky 'shaped like a big piece of dog poo' under one of her assistant’s duvets.

But Paula's tears of laughter soon turn to tears of upset when she receives an email from the Bratz company informing her that she is no longer needed to work on their project. Paula is inconsolable as she was on course to executive produce and choreograph the up coming Bratz movie, as well as design the clothing and the dolls. Having banished her assistants she closes her bedroom door and goes to bed in tears.

After lolling around the hotel for a whole day Paula and her team are clear to leave for New York to make her appearance on The David Letterman Show. Unfortunately Paula's stylist Daniel and consultant Billy are in LA and she must have them with her in order for things to run smoothly. Things turn sour in the car when it is looking like Paula won’t be able to have Daniel or Billy with her in time. Yelling at her assistants an emotional Paula admits that she is upset with her team and that she's stressed at the thought of having no one to direct her for her interview.

Luckily, Daniel and Billy arrive just in the nick of time to make Paula look her best and rehearse her for one of the biggest shows in television. Meanwhile, Paula's new assistant of less than a week is not sure that she is up to assisting the manic lifestyle of Paula Abdul and is worried she's not right for Paula.

On the way to The David Letterman Show, Paula explains through teary eyes her concerns about the bad press she's been getting of late and whether it will ever end. However, an awaiting crowd of fans gives her a confidence boost when she arrives at the studios and she is very pleased with the way the show goes. As she leaves Paula is confronted by a hysterical super fan and claims that the fans put things in perspective - 'it's a love fest'.
