Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on Hell's Kitchen...

-Gelati! Gelati! -[laughs]

...Chef Ramsay put an Italian spin

on his signature blind taste test challenge...

Oh, sh...

...challenging the chefs' palates using gelato

infused with different ingredients.

Let's start with something easy: carrots.

On the Red Team, Trevor couldn't identify a single flavour.

-Banana. Lime. -[buzzer sounds]

-Cinnamon. -[buzzer sounds]

-Pea. -Pea?

-...which had consequences for Jose. -Trevor!

This isn't gonna define me, but damned if I'm not disappointed.

Despite the men's best efforts to make up ground...

-Coconut? -Coconut, Chef.

-Sriracha, Chef? -[buzzer sounds]

-Jalapeño. -[bell dings]

...the women kept their lead.

-Banana? Pickle. -[bell dings]

-Black pepper. -[Ramsay] Well done.

-Peanut butter. -Yes!

And thanks to rookie Mia's perfect four out of four...

Challenge master.

...they ran away with another clear victory.

[sing-song] We won again. We won again.

While the women indulged in an afternoon of pampering...

It feels so good to keep on winning.

...Trevor spent the afternoon beating himself up.

Gotta have a palate. And I just shat the fucking bed.

At a special charity night dinner service...

Cheers.

...tensions flared between rookie Kanae and veteran Heather.

-This needs to be plated better. -Tell me that then.

I did.

But the Blue Team still served up a smooth service to their VIP guests.

This is amazing.

The Red Team hit an early groove that gave Trevor a much-needed boost.

-Trevor, best-executed course so far. -Up and out.

But it all came crashing to a halt...

[woman] Oh, my gosh, mine is completely raw.

Oh, fucking hell.

...when Jose sent out raw veal.

No. No, no, no, no, no!

The Red Team clearly lost

-and nominated... -Jose.

-...and... -Me, Chef.

I've got more fight in me than anybody here.

-Ultimately, Chef Ramsay eliminated... -Jose.

...ending his dreams of becoming the executive chef

at Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen Restaurant

at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.

-Piss off. -[Bret] Yes, Chef.

For Trevor to say he's the most determined here, that's nonsense.

I should've took that station over, dawg.

I bleed determination.

You definitely don't got the most drive. We all got that drive.

Trev's about the glory right now and not necessarily the team.

Obviously Chef Ramsay thinks that you're better than Jose,

so there must be a reason for that.

[Trev] I have a feeling Bret wanted me gone tonight. Whatever.

But I don't give up. That's the ultimate insult to Gordon Ramsay.

Honestly, I feel like after today's challenge,

you was crumbling, shaky hands and nervous,

but moving forward, we gotta be on one page, bro.

No more of this he-say, she-say, pointing fingers and all that.

Cool. Silence is golden.

[Bret] Trevor will eventually take himself out of this competition.

Motto's a good cook,

but I don't think he has what it takes to make it to that next level,

and I feel like I do.

Silence is golden.

[Trev] Good morning, Hell's Kitchen. How are you today?

Oh, I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

Oh, shit.

[Trev] Let me tell you, the roads are backed up from here to Santa Monica...

[slurping]

...and it doesn't really matter

because we won't be getting outside any time soon.

I hear the weather is shitty, but we wouldn't know about that.

So back to you at HK Station.

"Trev, how you doing?" This sucks.

[phone ringing]

-Good morning. This is Trevor. -Good morning.

I need all of you downstairs immediately. Thank you.

Yes, Chef.

Come on. Immediately.

[dramatic music playing]

[Bret] What the fuck, man?

Yeah, I dunno what's going on.

[Ramsay] As you can see, Hell's Kitchen has again frozen over.

Yeah, no, thanks. I don't do ice skating or ice dancing or ice anything.

I live in south Florida.

Of all the Olympic sports, ice dancing is truly the most romantic.

Ice dancing is real sensual.

Motto, do you ever get romantic?

-I try to at least once a day. -[all laugh]

-Once a day? Okay. -That's what I'm talking about, Motto.

Okay, good.

Similar to ice dancing, in the culinary world,

there's nothing more romantic than...

Dessert, Chef?

-Dessert. -[Motto] They pulled out a cupcake.

Yeah, I mean, that's pretty romantic.

You want that treat, that excitement at the end.

-Great to see you. Gorgeous sequence. -[applause]

[Bret] Dessert takes a bit of finesse

to put you in the mood for the after-dinner get-down.

For today's challenge, each of you will be creating

one spectacular, delicious dessert.

Your 60 minutes start now. Let's go.

-Time to make the doughnuts? -Yeah, time to make doughnuts.

Okay, let's do it.

Taking one of my favourite desserts, bread pudding,

and putting a little spin on it.

[Trev] Best part of waking up is cognac in your cup.

[Christina] What are you doing?

White chocolate, orange zest, cognac arancini.

-Play on Italian creamy-- -[laughs] Yes.

'Cause you can't do spaghetti in a dessert.

[Trev] Again with the Italian.

Who the fuck are you, Rocky Balboa? Let's shake it up a bit.

Even he went on and did The Expendables.

[Bret] Can't make spaghetti dessert.

Finger foods to me are sexy,

when you can feed the person you're in love with.

You getting to lick the fingers and whatnot,

we know what can come after that.

What are you making, Kanae?

A Luxardo cherry tiramisu, but I'm gonna do a deconstructed version.

I wanna make everything from scratch.

I wanna show Chef Ramsay that I'm really good at making dessert.

Shit.

Avocado mousse is done. I got my meringue working.

Everything in my dish today is actually a superfood.

The goji berries.

Not only does it taste good and decadent, but it really is good for you.

I'd order that.

Um... Hmm.

I think Trev might be getting a little overconfident.

That's rich.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Bread pudding is the most sought-after comfort food.

I put the whisky in. I wanna know if I should go more.

It's not hot.

The whisky is, like, so potent.

You may wanna cook that out a bit.

I think Heather right now is a little tipsy.

[rhythmic grunting]

[gasps] Fuck.

-[Ramsay] What's wrong with the tart? -It crumbled.

-It crumbled? -That's fine. Don't worry.

If you screw up something you baked, it's not that easy to fix.

Uh...

The way I'm gonna salvage this plating is by deconstructing it.

[Ramsay] Sixty seconds to go. Come on! Let's go.

Fastest hour ever.

[Jocky] Everyone's got their plates organised?

Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Thirty seconds to go.

Nice.

Let's go. Trev? Good?

Beautiful.

Ten, nine, eight...

-Young lady. -[Heather] You got it, Ariel.

Six, five, four,

three, two, one,

and stop.

Blue Team, you have one more chef on your team than the Red team.

This is a three-on-three competition.

So, ladies, turn around.

Come to a consensus on which one you're gonna drop. Hurry up.

-It's between these two. -[Ramsay] Figure it out.

Based on presentation, I would say yours.

I tasted it. I think it's gonna be sweet on top of sweet.

I feel like the brittle's a little clunky.

So basically mine's out.

Okay, whatever. I'm not happy about that.

Heather looks really pissed right now, but I don't care

because I personally tasted Heather's dish, and I don't like it.

-Heather, was it a tough decision? -Apparently not for the other three.

-We're dropping the bread pudding? -Mm-hmm.

-That sounded delicious. -Thank you, Chef. I know it did.

Karma's a bitch, ladies, and you better hope it doesn't bite you in the ass.

For this test, I've brought in

one of the top award-winning chocolatiers in the country.

She owns two incredibly popular cafes.

Please welcome Chef Valerie Gordon.

[applause]

[Bret] Valerie Gordon, man, she's badass.

She's the crème de la crème of chocolatiers.

-So nice to see you. -How are you?

So I hope we got some good desserts.

First up, let's start with Kanae. Let's go.

[narrator] In today's dessert challenge,

Chef Ramsay and guest judge Valerie Gordon

will both score the dishes individually from one to five.

The team with the most points will win the challenge.

Here I have a deconstructed Luxardo tiramisu.

I made my chocolate ladyfingers with a cherry glaze on the bottom.

Yeah, presentation, um, not the best for me.

-It feels unfinished. -[Gordon] Yeah.

But let's taste, yeah?

Cherry is one of the most challenging fruits to work with.

Mm-hmm.

You can either get that gorgeous sweetness,

or it can taste like cough syrup.

I'm getting a note of cough syrup.

When you start deconstructing something,

you need to come back with it better than it was constructed.

-Right. -It's not hitting those marks.

Nowhere near it. So I'm giving it one ladyfinger.

I'm going two.

Chef Valerie is not holding back anything.

Right. Motto, describe your dessert for Chef, please.

I'm a big fan of the outdoors and camping.

One of my favourite things to do is build a campfire

and then do s'mores at the end of the night.

What I have here is a campfire bread pudding.

-[Ramsay] Very moist inside. -[Gordon] It is very moist.

I think it's a great concept. It looks really good.

And it's something that strikes a lot of emotional chords for people.

The milk chocolate gets a bit lost for me.

I really would've taken a bittersweet chocolate

so you get a little more complexity in the flavour.

There's something very lovely about it. I'm gonna say three.

-Great concept. -Thank you.

You energised the challenge. It was great.

-For me, it's a four. -Thank you, Chef.

Seven's a great score to start off. Got us out of the gate strong.

So I have a deconstructed-- [laughs]

-Leave it alone! -[Ramsay] I'm sorry.

Deconstructed again. What is going on?

Chef, I tried to go for the whole tart, but it crumbled, so I had to improvise.

It's a roasted apple and mascarpone tart.

-[Gordon] Let's see what we get here. -[Ramsay] Dig in.

[Gordon] The ginger is a little aggressive for me.

I want a stronger note of caramel to play with that...

-Okay. -...or else it just gets muddy.

And I would say that's my description of this dish: muddy.

-So I go two on that. -Two. I'm gonna be generous. Two as well.

-Thank you, Mia. -[Mia] Mm-hmm.

[Gordon] Stick with it, hon.

[Heather] Sorry, Mia.

Welcome to the real world, where you're not a perfect little princess.

[Ramsay] Next up, the Italian stallion.

-Bret, let's go, please. -Get 'em, Bret.

Come on, killer.

I wanted to do a play on an Italian rice pudding,

so I've prepared a white chocolate and vanilla arancini.

-These cuties are fried? -They are.

These are little fried balls?

Chef, how's that?

-Ooh. -[Ramsay] Oh, no.

Chef, how's that?

-Ooh. -[Ramsay] Oh, no.

-Al dente. -Oh, geez. Really?

[all snickering]

It is really al dente.

[narrator] In today's dessert challenge,

season 14 veteran Bret's Italian arancini balls

have left guest judge Valerie Gordon extremely underwhelmed.

Beyond undercooked. Just not really cooked.

[Ramsay] Have a taste.

-Did you taste it as you were making it? -A thousand times, yeah, yeah.

-Oh, dear. You don't want to finish that. -Right.

I like the concept. I think the concept was interesting.

But the idea might be great.

The experience might not be.

That's a one.

Nothing about that dish came together successfully.

It's a one from me as well.

Damn, Chef Valerie just annihilated Bret's balls.

I'm so sorry. I fucked up, man.

-That's all right. -So sorry, guys.

Italian stallion over here.

You just served raw balls to two chefs.

Somebody give Valerie a five.

Ariel, let's go, please.

I am completely stressing out about getting my dish judged.

I have a Thai lime and beet tart.

[Gordon] There's a lot there.

That's yummy. That tastes really, really good.

I don't think of beets in dessert, but that's delicious.

[Gordon] There's something very smart about this.

This is a four.

-Thank you, Chef. -I'd love to have seen 25% less

because it gets a bit long-winded.

-It's a three from me. -Thank you, Chefs.

Right now I can only pray Trevor got a bangin'-ass dish.

-Come on, Trevor. -[Trev] All right. We can do this.

All I need is a three or higher from both judges, and we're in like Flynn.

I've made this dessert a bunch of times. Everybody loves it.

I'm thinking, "Let's go up there and give her a kiss."

These are avocado kisses. This is actually my take on superfood.

I really dislike this dish, I have to say.

I really dislike this.

This is everything that I dislike

about healthful eating getting integrated with dessert.

-It's incredibly soggy. -[Trev] Am I dreaming this?

'Cause this is like one of my nightmares where I think I make something amazing

and they tear it to shreds and tell me I'm horrible at my job.

It tastes like a bush.

-[Ariel laughs] -I want to forget this.

-Dessert should be a treat. -Absolutely.

Right? Not a health kick.

-So I go one. -One, yeah. I agree.

Thank you.

Blue Team, congratulations.

We most definitely dodged a bullet on this challenge.

Thank God the guys were worse than we were.

Whew! Whew!

All of you join me in thanking this incredible artist.

-Thank you, Chef. -[Gordon] Thank you so much.

-Such a pleasure. Good luck. -Great feedback and great comments.

-Take care. -Thank you very much.

Ladies, congratulations, because here...

is $2,000.

And I am sending all of you on a shopping spree

at one of my favourite high-end culinary stores, Sur La Table.

[exclaims]

Ladies, say goodbye to the three wise men.

Bye, guys.

[Ariel] This almost doesn't even feel like a win.

Somehow my little seven saved the day.

-[Kanae] Yo, she is intense. -[Mia] That was nerve-racking.

Men... [sighs]

...whilst the ladies are shopping at Sur La Table,

you'll be here chopping and chipping,

because it is ice delivery day here in Hell's Kitchen.

You know, Motto, when you're making the most amazing cocktail

and you've got a handcrafted ice cube,

-how good does that cocktail taste? -So much better, Chef.

So we've got 600 pounds of ice coming.

-Got it? -Yes, Chef.

Off you go. How many times have I said that to you, Trev?

Every time except once. Getting a little old.

Man.

[Motto] I really thought Trev and Bret were gonna perform better than that.

I come out every day with a positive attitude,

a clear mind, ready to bust ass.

I feel pretty beat down.

-You guys again? [laughs] -Happy to see you too, man.

Okay, so did you ever do this before?

-The breaking of the ice blocks? -Yeah.

Okay, so you get out the saw, go all the way around the block

in order to get the perfectly square ice cubes.

We literally have handsaws,

and we have to saw and chisel through hundreds of pounds of ice

to make fucking two-inch-by-two-inch ice cubes.

This sucks.

-Don't try to pick that up by yourself. -Oh, I've done it before.

Trevor said he knew what he was doing, so knock yourself out, man.

I guess me and Bret are gonna figure it out on the other one.

No.

No.

-[Bret] Went over. -No.

[Bret] Damn!

-Chef, you get out of the kitchen too? -[Jocky] Blue Team!

-[Ariel] Jocky! -Let's have lunch.

This is our first time hanging out with Jocky outside the kitchen,

so I'm looking forward to, uh, getting to know him as a human being.

'Cause usually we're terrified of him.

What's for dessert?

-[all laugh] -That's the question.

I hope it's not the avocado with goji berries.

[Ariel] I got so nervous.

-I have not been that nervous in years. -[Jocky] Oh, really?

-I was just like-- I felt my stomach-- -I'm just sitting there like,

"Mmm, mine's whole." I'm like, "Mine's whole."

I'm a little pissed off still about the whole...

"Uh, well, your dish looks clunky."

-It's gonna be sweet on top of sweet. -I feel the brittle's a little clunky.

It sucks to be disregarded. I can't stand the fakeness anymore.

So I'm gonna get through dinner service as a team,

and then it's every man for themselves.

[chortles]

I present to you the first cube of the afternoon. [laughs]

One cube.

-That's about how many points you got. -Ouch, Motto. Ouch.

I don't give a shit. One opinion, that's all that was.

No, the one opinion is one of the illest pastry chefs in the country.

-Her opinion is the world, dude. -That's all right. I know it was good.

I'm not gonna let it get me down.

[Bret] I lost mad respect for Trevor today.

"Oh, it's just her opinion."

Valerie Gordon, man.

She is a crème-de-la-crème pastry chef chocolatier.

Her opinion means, obviously, a whole lot.

[Trev] They don't like me, want me out. I could give two shits.

I'm looking at the black jacket. One more person's gotta go.

Then I don't have to deal with anybody. That's my goal.

I just don't give a fuck anymore.

[narrator] The men are in the midst of their fifth straight punishment,

and Trevor is beginning to crack under the pressure.

I think Trev's cracking more than the ice is at this point.

[Motto] We're having more success tapping the saw.

[Trev] Whatever.

We're not bonding at all. Those two want to see me gone.

Why do you think two went on one chunk and I was left by myself on the other?

It's good to have a sense of humour when the ice chips are down.

[all laugh]

-Yeah, shopping spree! -Yay!

Walking into Sur La Table is like a kid in a candy store.

I don't know which direction to go, which way is up, which way is down.

I'm so excited right now. Thank you, Chef Ramsay!

This is, like, so overwhelming right now.

-And how much is this one? -224.

I have $500 to do with what I want. I've never had that feeling before.

Kanae, when you saw the aprons, did you see any for kids?

Yeah.

Of course shopping sprees should be cool, should be all about me.

[voice breaking] But it's not. I'm a mom.

Aw.

-[Kanae] It's so cute. -I know.

All I think about is Logan

and, you know, getting back into the kitchen with him and just...

spending every ounce of free time that I have...

[clears throat]

...with him.

Oh, there you go. Mommy and me spatulas.

[narrator] The women are back in Hell's Kitchen from their day shopping...

I'm gonna set up fish.

...and both teams are busy prepping for tonight's dinner service.

Kanae, I got Dijon for you.

Heather, we gotta stay communicating the whole night.

Oh, I know.

[Christina] I'm happy to help you guys as you need.

-When you have a minute... -Yeah?

-...I'd like a word, if I could. -Yeah, of course.

I've been on the losing team since I've been here.

I'm betting you right now the peeps on my team think I'm the weak link.

I just wanna say, win, lose or draw,

whatever I gotta do after I get out of this to get on board...

I will start in the dish pit and work my way up.

All I wanna do is work for this man.

I don't understand why you don't use that leadership

during prep and dinner service.

-Don't know if it's them not listening... -They won't.

-Motto and Bret won't listen? -Not at all.

Wonder what Trevor's in there talking about.

Trevor just wants to be like the Lone Ranger.

"Hey, Chef Christina, I need a minute on some secret shit before dinner service."

I don't know what Trevor's doing.

Me and Motto are the two real warriors on this team.

He needs to watch his pancetta.

The three of you rowing in different directions isn't working.

-We're not getting anywhere. -Not at all.

Don't think you won't get my or Gordon's support if you step up.

As far as the job in Vegas, win the competition.

If you don't, then we can worry about pushing that door open.

-Okay? -Okay. Got it.

-Good luck, man. -Thank you.

Not to sound like that dick, but let's pick up the pace.

-We're behind. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ariel, is the oven back on?

Just in case Jocky gets accused of sabotaging it.

-Let's go. Wakey-wakey. -[Bret] Let's get it.

-[Trev] Everybody ready? -Yeah.

-Marino. -Si, Chef.

Open Hell's Kitchen, please. Let's go.

[narrator] Hell's Kitchen is hopping,

as tables quickly fill with hungry guests...

-Welcome to hell. -Thank you. [laughs]

...including actor Randall Park and NFL star Malcolm Smith

and their guests,

who will dine tonight at the exclusive VIP chef's tables.

Wow, this is pretty cool.

-We're gonna do the beef Wellington. -The Wellington? Classic.

Okay, ladies, listen up.

-We're not going backwards, right? -[all] Yes, Chef.

-Two carbonara, two risotto. -[all] Yes, Chef.

Two carbonara, two risotto. Seven out.

-Got to taste everything. -[Mia] Yes.

Taste, please.

The only issue I'm having on hot apps is that I have to pick up risotto.

Risotto's something you have to taste often.

Little more salt, and you gotta bring it down.

-It's too watery. -Yes. Yes.

I have a shellfish allergy.

This is seafood risotto, so I can't taste it.

I'm bringing down the butter. Let me know the taste.

Let's go.

[Heather] I understand having a food allergy.

However, you're a chef.

You need to be able to cook the shit you're allergic to.

Tiniest bit more salt. Not too much.

It doesn't make sense for someone who can't taste it to make it.

You don't want two people going back and forth from a pan.

I'm getting a little bit frustrated.

Ariel, why don't you do the risotto and she does the carbonara.

-That's the best way. -Yep.

[Mia] I'm a perfectionist.

I usually feel like I can do it better than somebody else,

so it's hard for me to ask for help.

Two risotto, yes?

-Okay. -Let's go.

-Very nice, Ariel. -Thank you, Chef.

[narrator] Thanks to Ariel's veteran guidance,

the Blue Team is now sending out appetisers

just as quickly as the Red Team...

-[man] Oh, that looks great. -How is it?

Good. Really good.

...and both kitchens are ready to move on to entrées.

On order, here we go. Three halibut, one beef.

-Yes, Chef. -Let's go.

I'm pulling Welly in three.

I'm glad I'm on meats.

Bret's on fish. We got Motto on garnish.

-[Christina] Halibut, how long? -Two and a half.

[Trev] Can I slice Welly?

This kitchen is flat right now. It's like being in a library.

It's like, "Shh."

Two minutes, New Yorks.

I don't know what the hell is the deal with these two. I don't.

God forbid you answer fucking Chef back. Come the fuck on!

Can I slice Welly?

-Yes? -[Bret] Yeah. No.

Yeah, yeah. Send garnish first.

-Garnish ready? -[Motto] Walking right now.

-[Trev] He's going. -[Christina] Come on, guys.

[Bret] Walking halibuts in 15 seconds.

[Ramsay] Wellington, where is it?

-Sauce for the halibut? -In my hand, Chef.

-Wellington, where is it? -[Trev] Wellington's right here.

-[Ramsay] Come on, guys. -Yes, Chef.

[Bret] Yes, Chef.

[Trev] Wellington, Chef.

One down.

Oh, fucking hell.

Huh? The Wellington's raw.

Come on, guys.

Yeah, you just...

-Bret. -Yes, Chef.

-Does that look like... -Fuck. Nope!

Back in the oven. Where's the tester gone?

Up front, Chef.

There is a reason Trev's fucking cooking on that cruise ship by himself.

Look at that.

The tester's better than real one.

Get that in the oven for one minute. I'll serve that.

-Yes, Chef. -Shit!

Red Team, I'm missing coordination here.

I'm driving tickets. I'm picking up. I'm counting down.

Nobody's getting their head out of the sand. Time to get a grip!

[narrator] It's 45 minutes into dinner service...

The Wellington's raw.

...and Trevor's undercooked beef Wellington

has brought the Red kitchen to a standstill.

Get it back in the oven. Where's the tester gone?

Up front, Chef.

He fucked up. It was fucking raw, man.

The tester's better.

-Get that in the oven. I'll serve that. -Yes, Chef.

[Trev] Chef rides my ass constantly.

If I was Chef,

right now's the perfect time to push Trev to his breaking point

to see how far he can be pushed

before he either loses it or rises to the occasion.

Hey, come here.

-You need to start thinking. -Yes, Chef.

The on you tested is better than the one you cooked.

The one you gave me was rare in the middle.

The tester was much better, but you need to step up.

Service, please.

-You are in love? -I'm in love. I'm in love.

I need momentum now. I got the appetisers.

-I need momentum on entrées. -Heard.

-Two New York strip, two salmon. -[all] Yes, Chef.

Guys, how long? Keep talking to me.

-How long? -Four minutes.

[Ariel] Four minutes. Heard.

I feel really good. I'm amped. I'm pumped.

But these strip steaks are thick as hell, so it's a little more difficult.

Guys, I'm walking salmon garnish and New York garnish.

-Heard. -Let's go. Let's push.

[Heather] Two New York. I'm ready to go.

[Kanae] Give me 30 seconds.

Chef, right behind you.

It's all fucking overcooked.

Come on, really?

Yeah, really. Come here. I don't know what the fuck it is.

All of you, come here.

Oh, my God. We cannot get kicked out of the kitchen tonight.

This cannot happen.

Look, I've got white meat.

-White. -[Heather] Heard.

-But why? -You shouldn't, Chef.

No. No. Help me. Why?

-Did you see the steak? It was... -It was bad?

I'm overcooking it. I apologise.

But why are we waiting? Is it the fish, the meat? What is it?

What is it?

Hell, no, it's not because of the fish!

Heather just overcooked the steak. Don't blame it on me.

I basted too long. I apologise.

-Do we have two more behind it? -Yes.

All right, get two more on right away.

[sighs]

Here you go.

I never fuck up proteins.

I've been nailing filets on every challenge. [groans]

Two halibut, two lamb.

[Bret] Yes, Chef. Thirty seconds, halibut.

-Followed by a minute for the lamb. -[Trev] Heard.

-Ready? -[Bret] You got lamb garnish?

[Trev] Yeah, lamb garnish is up.

-Lamb and halibut. -Where's the crust?

-The crust. -Shit!

-Fuck! -Shit, shit, shit.

Two seconds.

I haven't made this lamb at all. Not one time.

A million things are going on right now.

I forgot to put on the crust.

-Get it in the convection ASAP, dude. -I am.

-Come on, Trevor. -I am. I am. I am.

-Come on, baby. Come on. -A minute thirty.

Motto just caught that Trevor didn't put the crusts on the lamb.

He made him go back and put the crusts on.

Hey. Why are you doing this to me?

Come here. All of you, come here.

Look.

Look what I'm just being given now.

Your pan's filthy fucking dirty.

-Just look at this shit you're sending me. -[Trev] Yes, Chef.

I'm not gonna send it. I'm not gonna tolerate it.

-Wake up, all three of you. -[all] Yes, Chef.

[Bret] Refiring halibut.

We're just going nowhere fast right now.

How can you forget crust on the lamb?

-I haven't done one yet. -"I haven't done one yet."

I haven't.

"I never cooked lamb, so I forgot the crust."

Just say, "I forgot the crust. My bad. It won't happen again."

Not, "Oh, I never worked the lamb station before."

-It's your job to know what it is. -It is, Chef. You're right.

Now I've got three individual cooks, and there's no team spirit.

Yes, Chef.

[narrator] As Bret and Trevor try to bounce back in the Red kitchen...

[Heather] Double-check that for me.

...over in the Blue kitchen, Heather is hoping to redeem herself on the meat.

I think it's under.

How long for refired strip?

The refire, give me one minute.

I'm very shocked that Heather is struggling right now on this meat station.

Uh, she was a runner-up, and she's a veteran.

-Are you ready with the refire? -Yes, I'm walking in 30 seconds.

I'm walking garnish again.

In the real world, you would not get away with just burning

or overcooking food every night.

You'd get fired for this.

Behind you.

Better, Chef?

-It's fine! Let it rest. -Okay.

I didn't have time. I wanted to refire and give them to you.

Go.

It's like when your parents are disappointed and you apologise,

but you still feel disappointment in their eyes.

Ugh. It's the worst feeling ever.

[Ramsay] Service, please.

Heather seems to have steered the meat station back on track...

-[Bret] Halibut, ready to go. -[Trev] I'm ready to go on lamb.

...while over in the Red kitchen, the men are desperately hoping to do the same.

-[Bret] Let's do it. -[Trev] Let's go.

Lamb right now.

[sighs]

The fucking lamb's overcooked.

-Come here. Christina, get in here. -Go ahead.

You get in here. Come here.

They're going to the back of the back.

Somebody's gonna shed a tear back there.

Close the fucking door.

What in the fuck is going on?

What is happening?

We haven't found our stride.

We're not pushing each other. We're sending crap.

And then this here.

That's the biggest fucking insult.

There's the fucking lamb. Fuck off!

[narrator] It's an hour and a half into dinner service...

What is happening? We're sending crap.

...and a series of careless mistakes has Chef Ramsay thoroughly frustrated.

That's the biggest fucking insult.

There's the fucking lamb. Fuck off!

-What's happened? -I'm trying to communicate.

-Do you three want to go? -No.

Are you done?

-No, Chef. -It's fucking pathetic!

You guys better fucking pull it together now.

I'll serve one cutlet of lamb for that table.

[Motto] Come on, Trev.

[Bret] Trevor, he don't want to take responsibility.

I'm about to get real fucking mad in real life. Hold on, please.

Bounce back. Come on, guys.

I want in five, four covers, chef table, VVIP.

-Ladies, yes? -[all] Yes, Chef.

-One salmon, two halibut, one New York. -Heard.

[Heather] Kanae, three minutes, salmon, yeah?

I-- I need five minutes, please.

Kanae is trying to break open almost every piece of fish with a spoon.

I'm sorry, but if you can't feel a protein and know that it's done,

you shouldn't be cooking.

-Kanae. -Yes, Chef.

Explain to chef table how long for salmon.

Ladies and gentlemen, your salmon will be right out.

-Give me two minutes. Thank you. -Okay. Appreciate it.

[woman] Wow!

[Randall] Oh, that looks great.

It's okay. It's okay.

-You can have some of mine. -Yeah.

How long on that salmon? He's gonna ask.

[Kanae] Thirty seconds out.

Kanae?

Yes, perfect.

-Oh, there it is. -Oh.

-Uh-oh. -Oh, man.

This is raw.

-Is it raw? -Yeah. Yeah.

-Scream all you want. This is raw. -Yes, Chef.

-Leave me alone. -Heard.

Leave me fucking alone.

Un-fucking-believable.

Un-fucking-believable.

Hey.

Prepared by Chef Ramsay, right?

[Ramsay] Unbelievable.

[Kanae] Oh, Lord.

At this point, I'm just like, "Get the salmon out of my face.

I don't-- I don't want it. I don't want it."

-Oh, Kanae. -Yes, Chef.

It's extremely embarrassing.

Go, Jocky.

I'm praying he's not in the mood to kick us out of the kitchen.

-Oh, thank you. -Sorry about that.

Now it's here, and it looks so great.

[woman] It does. It looks beautiful.

How long, salmon, Welly? How long?

-Ninety seconds. Garnish in 60. -Ninety seconds. Slicing Welly.

It's the chef table. Hello? Any interest?

Walking right now, Chef.

-Any passion? -Yes, Chef!

It doesn't get any bigger inspiration than that.

-No, Chef. -How long?

-Walking. Ready? -Yeah.

-[Christina] Oh, my God. -Salmon's raw.

Here comes the Welly over your left shoulder.

[exhales deeply] She's pregnant.

Hey.

Hey, come here, you. Come here.

Ah, it fell apart.

Worse than that. The lady is pregnant.

-This salmon is ice cold. -Heard. I'll get it back in--

No. No. Come here. You three, come here.

Fuck!

Get in.

An MVP player.

His wife is five months pregnant.

I get a hacked, chewed-up piece of fucking shit of a Wellington

and a raw salmon.

-I'm fucking done. Get out! -[Trev] Yes, Chef.

Get out!

All of you, decide on one person who should leave.

Now fuck off!

-There's two lamb in the oven, Chef. -Fuck off.

I'm pissed. Raw fucking salmon and fucking halibut's fucked me tonight.

[Motto] What more could I have done, dude?

Nothing. Not a damn thing. You were running all over the place.

There was no communication from my teammates tonight,

like they were waiting for me to go down in flames.

[Bret] I know who my pick is.

Trevor deserves to go home at this point. He's been crumbling mentally.

To be an executive chef, you gotta cook but have mental discipline too.

Motto did everything he could.

Could be me and Trevor. I say Trevor.

The lambs and Wellingtons.

I'm gonna say you. The whole reason that lamb--

I was dragging the fish. Everything else got backed up.

-That's one lamb. The crusts-- -I'm not gonna put myself up.

Bret's the one that served a pregnant woman raw salmon.

[Motto] Who do you think?

You had issues with every protein tonight.

You saw my fucking resting racks. They were loaded with meats.

It started with that fucking halibut. Everything got backed up.

Trev and Bret both held back the team the most,

and, uh, both of those guys deserve to be going home.

Sorry I let y'all down tonight. [sighs] I'll make it up.

Don't feel I should go home. It's one performance.

Dave, Vicky, I love y'all for everything. Later.

There's a 50-50 chance I could go home right now.

I can't flatline.

This food shit is all I got.

Tonight I saw things I couldn't believe. I am in shock.

Let me put it this way: a pregnant lady being served raw fish.

It was embarrassing, Chef.

Come on, Motto. What's happening in there?

There was no communication.

-Why, though? -I don't know.

When I asked for an answer, I was fighting for a "heard".

I'm getting no feedback from my other two in the kitchen.

So, they shut down?

-Yes, Chef. -[Bret] No, Chef.

-Why? -Don't know.

-Motto? -No, I did not shut down.

I kept moving, going, trying to pick my team up.

[Trev] Kept moving but didn't communicate.

I got buried. Did I fuck up a couple of tickets? Yes.

Were they being dragged by fish? Yes!

Fish station fucked me.

I got buried. Did I fuck up a couple of tickets? Yes.

Were they being dragged by fish? Yes!

Fish station fucked me.

And the service continues.

That, ladies, is what I've witnessed over the last two hours.

Fragmented beyond belief

and no cohesiveness as a team.

Did you think you had a good service, Bret?

No, it was subpar, Chef.

Are you the weakest chef right now on the Red Team?

No, Chef.

-You're not? -No.

-Who is? -I believe Trevor.

Trevor. Why?

I thought he broke down a couple days ago.

Least I'm not a one-trick pony.

[Ramsay] What does that mean?

All I see out of Bret so far has been Italian.

Trevor,

Bret, step forward.

Bret, why should you stay?

I give you everything I have every day, Chef.

I cook my heart out. This is the lifestyle for me.

Food. It's all have. And I feel like every day I'm better here, Chef.

Every day you're getting better, and that was your worst. How's that match?

I had a subpar performance tonight. Everything else--

-Why was that? -I had one undercooked fish.

No excuses.

-Trev. -Yes, Chef.

-What's happened to you? -Nothing's happened to me.

-Nothing's happened to you? -Nothing.

-Your team have given up on you. -Yes.

-Why? -We've seen this before. No idea.

Nobody likes the guy that stands up. I don't give up. You know this.

You see my fight every fucking day that I'm here.

Always, from the beginning to the end.

This isn't a lifestyle for me. This is my life.

I'd do anything for this job.

The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is...

Trev.

-Listen carefully. -Yes, Chef.

-This is your third time up here. -Yes, it is.

And the downward spiral over the last three services

indicates to me that you are not ready to be my head chef in Las Vegas.

-Give me your jacket. -Yes, Chef.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-I wish you the best of luck. -Always.

Thank you.

[Ramsay exhales sharply]

[Trev] I don't understand. I think Bret should be going home, not me.

The guy definitely doesn't have as much passion as I do,

and neither does Motto.

Those guys didn't give up anything. They have a lifestyle.

I don't have a lifestyle. I just gave up my life to come back here again.

I really know I can do this,

and I don't want to do anything else with my life,

so I'm gonna keep pushing.

-Bret. -Yes, Chef.

I've given you a lifeline, but I want to see a lot more from you.

-Back in line. -Yes, Chef. Thank you, Chef.

Only two members left in the Red Team.

Ladies, which one of you will emerge as a leader

and jump into the Red Team?

Because right now...

they need one.

-Desperately. Understood? -Yes, Chef.

-Now piss off. -Yes, Chef.

[Mia] I want to emerge as a leader,

and I feel like I can take charge in the Red Team.

I just need to prove it to Chef Ramsay, and this is my chance.

There's a reason he got put up three times in a row, man.

Bye, Trev. Bon voyage.

Good luck, wherever the fuck you end up.

Don't make it Baton Rouge.

[Bret] I got your one-trick pony, homie. No more Mr Nice Guy.

My girl told me when I come out here, "Try and be more kind than originally."

Fuck that. Kind ain't gonna cut it.

[Ramsay] Trevor is one of the most passionate chefs

I've ever had in Hell's Kitchen,

but until he has the support of his brigade,

he'll continue to be lost at sea.

[narrator] Next time on Hell's Kitchen...

It is black jacket time.

With just five black jackets for the taking...

Who is gonna make it into that elite group?

Y'all better back up. I'm coming for the jacket.

...the fight to survive is going to be epic.

-Bam! -Three talented rookies.

Three tenacious veterans.

Who will break through?

Duck, duck... Uh, uh.

And who will crack under the pressure?

-[Ramsay] Hurry up! -Oh, fucking shit.

The bird was talking to me.

[chicken clucks]

And will an untimely injury...

Whoa!

...stop the lone remaining runner-up...

[Heather] Burnt the fuck out of my hand. Oh, my God.

-Oh, you okay? -No, I'm not.

-...from going the distance? -[siren wailing]

I can't catch a break today. It's conquering me.

It's a red-hot battle for black...

-Let's go! -Just give it to me.

No way I'm not getting a black jacket.

Hell yeah, yo!

...next time on Hell's Kitchen.
