Hanging by a thread, an embroidery and silk screening company in Queens, NY, is about to close its doors forever after the owner has bitten off more than he can chew. Three years ago, Sal Loretta moved his small business, Artistic Stitch, into a massive 28,000-square-foot warehouse. To make use of the space, Sal started several new businesses and borrowed beyond his means to build out the entire building. Now Sal is $1.5 million in debt and in way over his head. Can Marcus throw him a line before the company completely unravels?

A Long-Island salon owner burned by her ex-partner can't get to the root of her business problems. Carolyn DeVito owns Unique Salon & Spa, but only after fighting tooth and nail. She hasn't had a paycheck in six months, and other aspects of her business are coming unglued. If Marcus Lemonis can't help Carolyn move on from her past, Unique Salon & Spa may be going down the drain.
