 Marcus meets Susana Monaco, a NY-based designer who runs a multimillion-dollar fashion empire.

 Despite her success, Susana plays second fiddle to her employee Ana and Marcus takes note.

 During a tour of the showroom, Marcus notices the Susana Monaco brand has no clear visual focus.

 Marcus is introduced to Susana's dad Mario at the manufacturing factory he owns.

 Marcus crunches the numbers with Susana, Ana and Mario. Even though Susana Monaco is earning millions of dollars a year, they are still operating at a loss.

 There are definitely challenges with the Susana Monaco brand, but Marcus thinks he can turn it around. He decides to cut a check for $600,000 in exchange for a 50% in the company.

 When Marcus gives a speech to the assembled employees of Susana Monaco, Ana doesn't take it well. She's mad that Marcus didn't give her a piece of the company.


 Stephanie Menkin, president of the Marcus Lemonis Retail Group, plans to help Susana Monaco choose their core products.

 Susana quickly realizes the value of being the face of the brand when she racks up sales simply by being present at the brand's liquidation sale.

 Ana is tense and nervous, but through Marcus' mentoring, Susana has come into her own. She's now willing to let Ana go unless their working relationship improves.

 Marcus sets up a fashion show and launch party for Susana Monaco to great success. Members of the fashion press turn out in force and a newly emboldened Susana comfortably owns her spotlight.
