Previously on "Hell's Kitchen."

- Line up, please.

- Oh, my God.

It was the first ever Hell's Kitchen Carne-Val.

- Oh, wow.

And Chef Ramsay decided...

- Joining the Red Team will be...

Brett. - Oh!

To even out the teams.

- Hey, ladies.

After some fun and games...

- I've never seen someone whack with two hands.

The chefs tried to get creative

with their cuts of beef.

- You got to nail the tips, guys.

- Vlad's rib cap... - Great sear on that.

And Alejandro's New York strip...

- One of the best New York strips I've ever tasted.

- Thank you, Chef.

Scored for the Blue Team.

- Congratulations, Alejandro.

But a rare mistake from Alex...

- It looks unfinished visually.

- I made a beurre blanc, and I left it on the pass.

Allowed Sommer...

- I love the demi. - Thank you, Chef.

To clinch victory for the Red Team.

- Congratulations. - Thank you, Chef.

During steak night dinner service...

- Whiskey for dessert. - And for breakfast.

The Red Team's newest member, Brett...

- It's still cold. It needs longer.

And their oldest member, Tara...

- That's blue. - Yes, Chef.

- That's not even rare yet.

Get it in the oven! - Yes, Chef.

Struggled with undercooked proteins.

- Come on.

In the Blue kitchen,

Alejandro sank the fish station.

- Come here, all of you.

Come here! - Dude.

- That's not pink, that's raw.

And Vlad used a cake tester

to check his meat.

- Enough's enough.

This is embarrassing.

In spite of completing service,

neither team was worthy of being called a winner.

- Definitely not a good service.

- No.

The Blue Team nominated...

- Vlad, Chef. - And...

- Alejandro.

While the Red Team chose...

- Brett, Chef. - And...

- Me, Chef.

But in the end, Chef Ramsay sent home...

- Vlad.

Ending his chance of becoming head chef

at Hell's Kitchen Caesars Atlantic City.

And now, the continuation of "Hell's Kitchen."

- Get out of here.

- Yes, Chef.

- I'm glad that Chef Ramsay believes in me.

And that's all that matters.

I knew my whole team didn't support me.

And I'm glad they finally told him that,

because he can see

what two-faced people they actually are.

- Do you want to speak as a team, or no?

- I think we should. - Yeah.

- I can't trust them at all.

They talk nice to my face, but I don't know what they say

when they go back to their dorm rooms.

That's the difference between being 21 and being 41.

- I never gave up on you as a teammate.

I know that you're strong, but I do see you get flustered.

- I get that, but to have every single person

say, "I do not believe in her," that's sucked.

- I never said--

- We didn't say we didn't believe in you.

We said you don't communicate.

- There is times that you don't communicate.

- He pretty much said, like, your team just gave up on you.

- Because of your communication,

we said we don't believe in you.

- I never gave up on you.

And I need you to get that out of your head, literally.

- Well, that's not what he just said to me.

Like, your entire team just gave up on you.

"Oh, we have your back."

Like, you don't.

I just need to know that, like, you guys don't

think, like, you want me out.

- No, I don't think that, honestly.

- It sucks to have to hear that.

- I fully believe in everybody on this team.

We have to rub Tara's back and console her.

She's the oldest one on the team,

and she's acting the most immature about this.

Yeah.

- It's gonna be really hard to work with her now,

because she has this set mentality

that we don't like her. - Yeah.

- Just have to try to pump her up at least a little bit.

- Yeah, yeah. - For sure.

- Tomorrow is a new day.

- Hello, is somebody in there?

- I think I've had enough of Abe.

- Hey.

- That voice, I just--I don't want to hear it anymore.

- I'm gonna crush you.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

- Kind of a lot sometimes, especially at 7:00 a. m.

- As Abe gags on his toothbrush--

- A lot of people get kind of annoyed by Abe.

He has this, like, supervillain laugh,

like "mwa-ha-ha-ha."

He thinks, like, it's just hilarious.

And I'm just annoyed.

Like, you have to be able to read the room.

You're on ten.

I'm at, like, a two.

Let's go.

- Let's go, chefs. Line up, please, quickly.

Good morning.

- Morning, Chef. - Good morning, Chef.

- We all know that great chefs today

are taking comfort food

and elevating it into something really special.

All of you step forward, please.

I'm gonna show you a couple of examples.

Here's a perfectly fine traditional burger.

It's okay, nothing wrong with it.

But it's not very inspiring, is it?

No, Chef.

- Now, here's an elevated burger.

- Whoo. - Look at the difference.

Night and day, right? - Yes, Chef.

- Here's another example.

A traditional slice of pizza.

Simple, but let's be honest, a little dull.

And here's the chef version of that pizza.

- Wow. - What do you think?

- Awesome. - That's beautiful.

- That's what chefs can do today--

take something humble, elevate it.

Now, our final dish, a traditional taco.

Kind of boring, not very exciting,

a little bit plain, right? - Yes, Chef.

- So the elevated taco comes down to this.

Oh, my God.

- Danny Trejo? - Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

- That's not a taco. That's a Trejo.

What the is going on?

- That's amazing.

- What? Danny Trejo is here?

- That's not an elevated taco.

This is an elevated taco.

- Man, I've watched all of his movies.

He's got that voice, you know.

He's just--he's hardcore.

Man. - Welcome.

It's an absolute pleasure having you here.

- Thank you, Chef. - Dafne, you look very excited.

- Yeah. Mucho gusto, señor.

Oh, man, I'm literally trying to put in my Spanish flair

and be like, hey, I'm Latina here.

Mucho gusto, Danny.

- Now, Danny, you opened Trejo's Tacos.

- Five years ago. - Now you've got?

- Four in Los Angeles and in Miami, Chicago.

- How do you keep on reinventing that taco?

- Well, first of all, if you just try to do one thing,

it's not gonna work.

Vegan, gluten free, and jackfruit, unbelievable.

- Inspired? - Yes, Chef.

- And so you should be.

Right, for today's team challenge,

I want each of you to use your creativity

to make an elevated taco.

Now, each team will be responsible

for making five tacos.

Now, Blue Team, there's four of you on there.

So your fifth taco will be a team taco, clear?

Yes, Chef.

- The team with the most unique and delicious tacos

wins today's challenge.

- Oh, we got to win this, guys. - Right, Red Team, Blue Team,

you've got 40 minutes to create five stunning tacos.

And your 40 minutes start now.

Off you go.

In today's team challenge,

the chefs will be making elevated tacos

with five different proteins.

- Got to be smart with those proteins, please, yes?

- Yes, Chef. - We have jicama.

One chicken, one beef, and one pork taco.

- Guys, I'm going Thai with my pork.

- Heard that.

One fish, and one shrimp taco.

- I'm excited, Chef. - Yeah?

- The Latina in me is just thriving right now.

- Kind of like al pastor tacos, but with my own tortilla.

- Okay.

- I must win this,

no matter what the cost is.

- You can get the tortillas done in this amount of time?

- Oh, yeah.

- I'm going Caribbean. I'm doing a curry shrimp taco.

- Cool.

- Red Team, we're coming for you.

Watch out.

- I'm working Thai curry sauce.

I'm pretty much gonna be searing off my steak,

kind of like letting it rest in there.

Yeah.

- Jalapeño.

- Tacos is in my wheelhouse, you know.

It's an easy fix for nine children.

So it's in our blood. It's in our genes.

I'm doing--yeah, I'm doing a fried fish taco.

I'ma bread my fish.

- You're make your own tortillas?

- Making a flour tortilla. I'm gonna push it.

I'm feeling confident of what I have to bring, you know.

I know I can do this.

- Pull this off, this could be epic.

Yes.

- I'm doing a fennel slaw, achiote-marinated fish,

and then my salsa crudo.

- Cool, that sounds delicious, dude.

- 21 minutes to go, yes? - Yes, Chef.

- Just over halfway.

- You're think you're so cool, speaking Spanish.

- Oh, I love speaking Spanish.

- Mucho caliente.

- Mucho, mucho.

- No bueno, no bueno.

- Mucho gusto, señor.

- Come on, gringo. - Ah.

- Somebody turn those tomatillos, please.

- I love it, the way you say tomatillos.

It's so hot.

- I got skirt steak, Chef.

I want to make a roasted poblano and jalapeno aioli.

My girlfriend actually made this recipe.

This taco feels so homey to me.

I feel like I'm representing my restaurant back home.

I feel like I'm representing Emily and myself very well.

- I'm gonna do fried--

- Like a Baja taco?

- Yeah. - I love that.

- Anybody have time to make an aioli?

I feel a little rushed,

'cause I'm trying to work on the steak tacos

and my tacos at the same time.

We need a white onion on the grill as well.

Definitely felt like I had doubled the workload

of everybody else.

But I put that on myself.

I feel like that's what a leader does.

Some sort of crema or slaw would be great.

- Five minutes. - Yes, Chef.

- Ah!

I'm literally so nervous right now.

It's burning.

My tortilla's burning.

I'm just gonna literally toss it,

and not even try to save it, and start all over.

- Dafne, you're making me nervous.

- Yes, Chef.

- Four minutes to go, young man.

- Time just ticking, ticking, ticking.

He's now doing a tortilla.

- I was just focused on getting everything done

and I thought I had more time than I expected.

- Come on, Abe.

- 60 seconds to go. - 60 seconds heard, Chef.

- I'm gonna plate for you.

What do you need? What do you need?

- I'm not gonna be able to get them.

- We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go.

- Right here, right here, right here.

- Come on, Abe.

Oh,.

Both teams are in the final minutes

of creating their elevated tacos

for Chef Ramsay and Danny Trejo.

- You all right, Abe?

Abe is down to the wire with his tortillas.

Come on, Abe, those things should be done by now.

I completely forgot about my tortillas.

- Why did you do that now, Abe?

- I'm not gonna be able to get my flour tortilla out.

But I had the backup ready.

I'll just give them that nice char

off the burner, off the stove,

just make it taste perfect.

- 30 seconds to go.

- Guys, give him a hand if he needs it.

- What do you need, Abe? - We've got to go.

We've got to go. - Come on, Abe.

- What else, Abe? - Lime, lime, lime, lime.

- I got you, I got you.

- Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four, three,

two, one, and stop.

Well done, Red Team.

Blue Team, well done.

- I'm still upset, because I'm not

getting my flour tortilla out.

But I know everything else,

all the other elements, are gonna pop.

- Let's start off with the battle of the chicken.

Let's start off with Sommer, please.

- Let's go, Sommer. - Come on, Sommer.

- I'm excited to show Danny Trejo,

like, I could take a taco and make it Caribbean.

It's a jerk chicken taco with a mango salsa.

And underneath, there's just some simple guacamole.

- I love guacamole.

Spicy, I love the spice.

Usually, I like putting, like, my own salsa on.

But this was really good.

- That spice is absolutely spot on.

- Yes. - Really good.

Good job, well done.

- Atta girl, Sommer.

- Right, next up, Alex, please, from Blue Team.

Let's go. - Let's go, Alex.

- Let's go, baby.

- I'm scared of you most my life,

so it's a pleasure to feed you.

- I wanted to go a little out of the box,

so I made a Nashville hot chicken breakfast taco.

- Wow.

Danny, your thoughts on that one.

- That's right.

Feel like my taco is killer. It's original.

It's different. It's delicious.

It's a winner.

- Tough decision.

Danny, is it Sommer's chicken from the Red Team?

Or is it Alex's chicken from the Blue Team?

- Uh...

It's a tie. They were both delicious.

- Both of them? - Yeah.

- Congratulations, Sommer and Alex.

Well done.

A point for each team.

Up next, battle of the shrimp.

Tara, step forward, please.

- All right, Tara, come on.

Let's kill these boys.

- Describe your taco to Danny and I, please.

- So today, I made you a beer-battered shrimp taco

that has a chipotle crema between the two tortillas.

- Nice? - Mm-hmm.

- Really good stuff. - It's really good. I like it.

- Thank you. Please pick up your taco.

Go, Tara. That a girl.

- Okay, next up, Sakari, please. Let's go.

- Let's go, boss. - Let's go, buddy.

- I have so much confidence in Sakari.

I feel like he's gonna knock it out of the park.

- So for today, we have a Caribbean-inspired taco

with a roti curried shrimp as well.

Just something that really speaks to my roots growing up.

- I like it.

- You like it?

- Nothing is overpowering.

- No, it blends nicely.

I like that. Really good job, well done.

Go, Sakari.

- Really good.

- Good job, Kari.

- Two good shrimp tacos. Which one do you prefer?

- I like the Blue Team.

- Sakari, congratulations. - Thank you, Chef.

- A point to the Blue Team.

With the Blue Team now in the lead,

Brett is hoping to impress

with the Red Team's fish taco featuring...

- Achiote-marinated mahi-mahi served over a fennel slaw.

He'll be up against Abe

and his fish taco for the Blue Team.

- I had breaded a red snapper with a mixed slaw.

- Danny, two really good tacos.

Is it Brett's mahi-mahi from the Red Team?

Or is it Abe's snapper taco from the Blue Team?

- I love the snapper.

- Yes.

- Congratulations, Abe. - Thank you, Chef.

- Good job, brother. - Good job.

- Yes.

With the Red Team down three to one,

the pressure is on Cheyenne and her steak taco

to keep the Red Team's hopes of winning alive.

- I have for you a skirt steak I marinated in cayenne,

paprika, a little bit of cumin.

- I hate cayenne pepper.

But it's really good. - Thank you.

Up next, the Blue Team's group taco.

- So we did a mojo-marinated skirt steak.

Made an avocado charred tomatillo crema on the bottom.

- Big question, Danny. Red Team or Blue Team?

- Cheyenne? Yeah. - For the Red Team.

- I like that, I like that. - Red Team, congratulations.

Thank you. That's special.

- Boom, point Red. Oh, yeah.

- Up next, Dafne from the Red Team, please.

- I put my heart out there.

I used a technique from my family in Honduras.

So I have to make my family proud and the Latinos proud.

Today, you have my take on al pastor tacos.

I made it with chorizo, ground pork,

and then I did make my own masa tortilla.

- Wow.

- Mom! You got my mom back there?

- You've definitely elevated it.

Good job. - Thank you, Chef.

Alejandro, let's go.

- Dafne is awesome.

She's a force to be reckoned with.

I've been wanting to go up against her for a while.

And I got my wish.

Kind of went a little Thai style with this.

That's a Thai street taco with pork tenderloin.

There's a curry aioli.

Danny, thoughts on this one?

- Presentation is beautiful.

Good, I like this.

- It's very sweet. Was it with coconut milk?

- Yeah, it was with coconut milk, yeah.

- You need to back that up with the seasoning

and especially the acid at the end.

- Right, Danny, two exceptional tacos,

two very different tacos.

Do you prefer the Red Team's taco from Dafne

or Alejandro's Thai taco?

Red or Blue?

- I got to say Red.

- Dafne's, yeah.

- Really a change for a taco, so that really elevated it.

- We have a tie.

Let's bring back the top two.

I think it's clearly Dafne for Red Team

and Abe from the Blue Team.

Danny, which one has the winning vote

that's gonna win it for their team?

- Well, I'm gonna have to say that...

I love my mom's cooking.

- The Red Team.

Oh, my God, I am ecstatic right now.

Gracias. Mom, Dad, Abuelita.

I'm making my family proud, and...

- All of you, join me in thanking

this incredible Hollywood legend.

Thank you.

- It's been an absolute pleasure.

- Thank you. - Thank you so much.

- Thank you, Mr. Trejo.

Brett, right now, you are one lucky, aren't you?

- I owe them my life, Chef.

- Red Team, you've got another fabulous reward.

You'll be smiling from ear to ear

inside these giant inflatables,

because you're all going zorbing.

I'm so excited.

- So much fun rolling down the hills.

- Oh, my God, yes.

- And there's more.

You're gonna be feasting on a unbelievable array

of gourmet Trejo Tacos.

- Oh, my God!

- At this stage in the competition,

I like to make it a little bit more personal.

I've got a very exciting present

from me personally back in the dorm.

Red Team, congratulations. Off you go, get out of here.

- Thank you, Chef. - Well done.

- It's really, really, really good

to be on the Red Team.

I love that he calls me out

for being just a lucky.

I haven't gotten any points in challenges,

but the girls have put me on their back,

and I could not be more grateful.

- What is it? What is it?

What is it? What is it? What is it?

- Let's go!

Yes!

Oh, my God!

- Oh, my God.

- We got the Vitamixes.

Oh, this is the best reward on "Hell's Kitchen."

I'm gonna be mixing,

I'm gonna be blending smoothies every day.

- Look at your baby.

- I'm elated. This is amazing.

- Oh, they're gonna be so pissed.

- No way. - Oh.

- Blue Team, today, in Hell's Kitchen,

it's corn shucking day.

- Oh, great.

- We need to husk and shuck hundreds of pounds of it.

Also ahead of dinner service tonight,

we have a Hell's Kitchen taco for every diner.

So we need freshly made tortillas.

Head back to the dorm.

Good effort, Blue Team, okay? Get your heads up.

- Yes, Chef. - Yes, Chef.

- Woulda, coulda, shoulda, but sure as hell didn't.

So close to tasting them Trejo Tacos right now.

But it's just defeat that I'm tasting.

While the Blue Team are reflecting

on yet another loss,

the Red Team is about to experience

yet another adventure.

- Hello. - Hello.

- I've never been zorbing before.

- Ah! - Go in, my lady.

Oh.

- We're gonna be inside of a bubble like a hamster.

Whoo-hoo!

- Oh. - How are we gonna do this?

- I don't know.

- Let them go!

- Man, we're picking up some speed, and then--

It was just, like, a cluster

of just women going down the hill.

You fell out.

We definitely looked like two drunk hamsters.

- Your lipstick's all over Sommer's ass.

- Yeah--

It's her lips.

She kissed your ass.

- There she goes.

Oh, there she goes.

Tara is a natural-born zorber.

- Oh, you got it!

- I'm like, damn, Tara, you did this before?

While the Red Team is having a ball,

the Blue is wondering where the shuck they went wrong.

- Chef, we tried. Fourth punishment in a row.

It's like getting broken up with four times in a row.

It's a lot of heartbreak.

- Corn needs to get peeled, grilled, cut off the cob.

So I want to divide and conquer everything.

- I'm from Ohio, so when corn season is in full effect,

we get bushels of sweet corn

and it's usually a day's worth of prep.

So this punishment is so tedious.

These things take forever.

- Mentally, I'm starting to get a little crazy.

I'm so tired of losing.

- Wow. - Ah!

- Oh, my God. - Ah!

- We see the array of tacos.

We are VIP for real.

- Thank you, Danny Trejo.

- Yes, thank you, Danny.

- This looks good. - Hell yeah.

- This is definitely once in a lifetime.

- It sucks that it's almost over.

- I know. - Yeah.

- This can definitely be the final five right here.

- Black jackets.

- For me, the past's the past.

I believe the Red Team is all in the same boat.

So we're ready just to rock service tonight

and just work as a cohesive team.

- This is four in a row.

Cheers to the Red Team. - Four in a row.

- Yeah. - Red Team.

- And Brett.

- Yeah.

- You said 100 tortillas, Chef?

- Yeah, at least.

- A memorable moment from this morning

was not being able to push out my tortillas.

I'm reaping what I sow right now.

Ain't nothing like fresh tortillas.

- Is there a trick to this? I haven't done this before.

- Alejandro. - Yes, Chef.

- I need you for two minutes, you and I.

- Just real quick-- - Now.

- I just need to set up another--

- No, go, go, go, go, go, go.

- What the hell's going on?

I'm nervous as hell.

- Young man. - Yes, Chef?

- Alejandro. - Yes, Chef.

- I need you for two minutes. You and I.

- Just real quick-- - Now.

- I just need to set up another--

- No, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Young man. - Yes, Chef.

- I know you can cook.

But you have this very strange way

of getting in the weeds and then your head drops.

- Yes, Chef.

- You need to fight back.

- I know, Chef.

- You've got to pull yourself back.

- Yes, Chef.

- I've seen some incredible moments with what you've done,

not just the inspiration, but just the gravitas

of what you bring to this competition.

But then when you hit a bump, you disappear.

- Yes, Chef.

- And I can't afford you to disappear tonight.

- Yes, Chef.

It took a lot for me to make it to this moment right now.

I miss my wife. I especially miss my son.

His name's Arlo Gray. He is--he's awesome.

It was a big decision for me to leave my family,

and it was a big sacrifice for both myself and my wife.

I know why I'm here. They know why I'm here.

And it's to prove that I have what it takes

to be Chef Ramsay's head chef at Atlantic City.

- I need a voice.

- Heard, Chef. - Let's go.

- Let's go.

I thought I was going home.

I was scared.

But after I'm done talking to Chef Ramsay,

I'm ready to run through a brick wall.

With the ladies and Brett back

from a day of bonding and zorbing...

- Open ears, wide eyes, let's go.

Both teams have their game faces on

for tonight's service.

- Just trying to be very talkative tonight, so--

- Rock and roll, baby.

No room for errors.

- Calm, cool, collected, yes?

- Calm, cool, collected. - Let's go.

- Let's have a good service. - Marino.

- Si, Chef.

- Open Hell's Kitchen, please. - Subito.

As the numbers continue to dwindle

in the kitchen, the dining room

is once again filled with excitement.

- Here's to daddy, Gordon Ramsay.

- Yes, yes. - Cheers.

Maître d' Marino has returned.

- Oh, Marino's back.

And customers are anxious

to get a taste of Chef Ramsay's menu.

- I'll do the golden beet salad.

- I'll also have a rack of lamb.

This evening,

there will be special guests at the Blue chef's table--

actresses and comedians Cheryl Hines

and Rachael Harris.

- He's real cute. - I feel like we just--

whoa, Rachael.

- I know, it's awkward.

- Red Team, six cover, table four.

Two carbonara, two scallops, two risotto.

- Yes, Chef. - Let's go.

- I got the two carbonaras. You do the risotto.

They had no confidence in me yesterday,

so the pressure is so on.

If I don't come out swinging tonight,

I'm definitely going down.

- Here, let's do a standard three minutes.

You have an extra one in here, don't you?

- I have this one as the partridge one.

I've got three in.

- Dropping my pasta in 30 seconds.

- Brett, you good on two lobsters?

- Yep.

- Dropping pasta, dropping pasta.

You didn't hear me?

Now you're really gonna hear me.

I warned them.

I'm gonna be loud and I'm gonna fast.

Drop those scallops, drop those scallops.

- Drop them right now.

Two scallop, so get the scallops.

- Yeah.

- Are they seasoned? - No, sorry.

- Season 'em, season 'em, season 'em.

- Sommer is definitely carrying Brett a little bit.

He seems really iffy.

- Minute and a half, minute and a half.

- Hey, Brett, you heard that? 90 seconds.

- It's only five. So you have ten, right?

- Ten pieces.

- There's no wiggle room anymore.

You know, there's nowhere to hide.

Everyone has to be on their game.

- You a minute out yet? Are you just dropping them?

So you're still a little bit of time out, Brett?

- Put the tray down, work with two hands.

It's always quicker, yes? - Yes, Chef.

- How long? - Always.

- Brett, how do you need-- how long do you need?

- Tara, can you not scream over?

I'm trying to talk. - I'm sorry, Chef.

- You got to start listening to each other a little bit.

- Tara is just talking over everyone.

And I don't think she understands

the way a line works.

We all almost dance like ballerinas.

And she is just a rock metalhead.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

She's just like--

- All right, carbonara's walking, okay?

- Risotto walking, you good, Brett?

- Yeah, I'll be good to walk. - Okay.

- Take the skewers out.

- Now I'm double checking every single thing Brett does

'cause we can't make those little mistakes.

We can't fail and I'm not going to let it happen.

- Beautifully cooked, those scallops, yes?

- Thank you, Chef. - Go, please.

While Brett is benefiting

from the support of his team...

- Thank you for your help, Sommer.

- Oh, you're welcome.

The Blue Team is ready

to fire their first appetizers.

- All right, here we go. Four cover table three, yes?

Two risotto, two scallops. - Yes, Chef.

- Let's go.

- Five minutes out on that risotto, yes?

- Two lobster down.

Let me know on them scallops once you drop them scallops.

- Tonight is very, very, very important.

We have to bounce back.

- Two scallops, two risotto, yes?

How long?

Alejandro, I'm talking to you.

- Yes, Chef. - Risotto, how long?

- Two minutes on apps.

- Talk, talk, talk. - Yes, Chef.

- Alejandro has to man up with his voice.

Chef Ramsay is looking for somebody

who can speak up, who can run a line.

Keep that count down, keep that count down.

- 1 1/2 minutes on two risotto.

- Heard that. Dropping scallops.

- Heard dropping scallops.

- I'm just trying to communicate

as much as possible.

And I have a voice and I need to use that voice.

Walking risotto. How long on scallops?

- Walking scallops. - Awesome.

- Good, now I can hear the voice.

More of that, yes? - Thank you, Chef. Yes, Chef.

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

Now that Alejandro has found his voice...

- Let's go guys.

Let's keep this momentum.

Both teams are pushing through appetizers.

- I need to, like, slow down, it's so good.

It's pretty incredible.

And the Red Team is ready

for their first entrees of the night.

- Fire now, two salmon, two New York strip.

Five minutes. - Five minutes.

- Two salmon, two New York strip, Brett.

- I'm gonna be on the salmon.

Two salmon in the oven.

- All right, 4 1/2 out, two strip, two salmon.

- 4 1/2?

- The kitchen is so small now. There's only five of us.

And you know, I'm just thinking in my head

all the things that could potentially

go wrong tonight if I'm not completely on my.

- All right, Two minutes on entrees.

- Heard, two minutes on entrees.

Two minutes.

- My God. Careful, careful, careful.

Oh,.

- You okay? - No.

It's 30 minutes into dinner service

and the Red Team is off to a blazing start.

- My God. Careful, careful, careful.

Oh,.

- You okay? - No.

But Cheyenne, in an attempt

to put out a fire, has suffered a burn.

- Just go to the medic, just go to the medic.

Watch out. No.

- Can we get those done? - Please go to the medic.

hell.

hell.

Dafne. - Yes, Chef.

- Take over the meat. - Yes, Chef.

- You okay? Show me.

- This is definitely the worst burn I've ever had.

And it was over something so stupid.

I'm okay, I swear.

- No, because it's a severe burn, darling.

- Sorry, Chef.

I just want to scream.

And then I literally start, like, crying,

because I'm so pissed at myself.

This cannot be the reason I go home.

This cannot be the reason Red kitchen loses service.

Ugh.

Oh, that's gonna be so.

- Brett, 90 seconds on two ribeye?

- Yes. - Yeah.

- Watching Cheyenne getting burned is just scary.

And I want to make sure she's okay,

but we also have tickets.

All right, you guys, can I walk my two steak?

- Yes. I'm up in the window with the garnish.

- Thank you. - Salmon is up, too.

- Heard.

I'm always gonna put my 100% on my team,

go wherever I need to be,

and be the supporter that the team needs.

- Dafne, nicely cooked. - Thank you, Chef.

Thanks to Dafne, delivery of entrees

are not slowing down from the Red kitchen.

- This is insanely good.

Oh, my gosh. Wow.

- Six covers, table one.

Entree, two salmon, two halibut, two Wellington.

- Yes, Chef. - Let's go. Wellingtons in.

- Let's go, boys. Let's go, boys.

- That was two halibut, right?

Dinner service started off with a bang.

Everything's smooth. We're counting, we're talking.

I got my halibut in.

It's the motion in the ocean. It's the well-oiled machine.

- I need 4 1/2.

- Two salmon, two Welly, two halis.

- Two salmon, two Welly, two halis.

- No, wait, what, what?

I didn't get those two salmon.

I just heard it now.

I didn't hear that salmon call, dude.

- Four minutes on two salmon, two halibut, two Wellies.

- I need at least six minutes on that.

These salmon just went down.

- Can you-- can someone help him?

- I can't help him rush it.

He's going to need at least eight.

I don't know what happened.

I felt like I was giving him all days all day long.

Please don't screw this up.

- How long you need on those two salmon?

Talk to me, Abe.

- How long on the six top?

- How long you need on those two salmon?

You are driving the. him.

- He needs more time, Chef. - Why--has he told you?

Have you told him you need more time?

- I need five minutes on the-- on the salmon, Chef.

hell.

- I don't have that fired.

And he's got the easiest pick-up.

- There's a lot of, uh... - Yeah.

- Drama happening.

- Still under.

- Yeah, that's why I'm trying to finish it.

With Cheyenne back in the kitchen...

- You good? - Yeah.

- Fire now. Lamb, New York strip, Wellington, halibut.

- Yes, Chef. - Lamb, Welly.

I have your sauces for you.

And Abe finally selling his salmon.

- I'm ready to walk up two salmon.

- Walk it.

- Leave them in the pan for me.

Leave them in the pan for me! - Yes, Chef.

- [bleep!

- Our team seems so sad.

Both teams are bouncing back

and are expediting their entrees.

- Behind, behind, behind, behind.

- Got it. Walking strip.

- Go, please, John. - Yes, Chef.

And serving satisfied diners.

- This is amazing. - Yeah.

- Red Team. - Yes, Chef.

- Right. All of you come here.

Blue Team. - Yes, Chef.

- Come here.

I've never seen a service this good.

Three tickets there, three tickets in the Red Team.

First to finish is gonna win this service.

- Yes, Chef. - Let's go, let's go.

- Let's go, let's go. - Let's go, guys.

You've got to try to push it, push it.

- All right, what's next?

Two Welly, two New York strip, and two salmon. 4 1/2.

- Heard. Yep. 4 1/2. - You got this?

- I'm good.

- Ah! Three tickets left.

We all want this. We want to win.

- All right, walk meats. How long you need?

- Walking two Welly, two strip.

- Heard. - Come on, ladies and Brett.

We got this. Let's kill it.

- Service, please.

Abe, Chef's table, on your own. Halibut, salmon.

Hurry up. - Yes, Chef.

We gotta finish.

We got to finish it strong.

Blue Team, we need this. We need this win.

Hot pan, Chef. Please be careful.

- Let's go.

- Oh, my goodness, no, thank you.

I feel like we should clap.

That's so good. - This is really delicious.

- Three halibut, one lamb. It's an easy ticket.

How long? - Yes, Chef. One minute, Chef.

- Let's go. I'll take it, but speed up.

- Yes, Chef.

- We have to move at a fast pace,

but it also needs to be perfect.

- Garnish up?

- Garnish is going up in 30 seconds, all right?

- Heard.

- We just have to put the pedal to the metal

and just get it done.

- Let's go. - Walking lamb.

- Two minutes out, two minutes out.

- Beautifully cooked, the lamb.

- Two salmon, two Welly.

After that, two halibut, two strip.

- Yes, Chef.

- Come on, Alex, it's in your grasp.

- Yes, Chef. Let's go.

It's party time.

Like, we've done a great job.

We can finish this thing strong.

How long, two salmon, two Welly?

- Coming, coming. - Walking garnish.

Let's go.

Like, start sprinting, get everything on fire.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

- Table four, please. Let's go.

Last table, Red Team.

Yes, Chef.

- Blue Team, last table. - Yes, Chef.

- Two halibut, two New York strip.

It's neck and neck, guys. Come on.

- Come on, guys. Let's finish strong.

We got to finish strong.

- I'm walking garnish in 30 seconds, okay?

- Slicing now.

- Okay, well you can walk with the halibuts first, right?

- I'm ready to walk.

- Brett, come here.

It's still under, it's still under.

Back in, back in, baste, yes. halibut's under.

Come on, Brett, please.

- Yes, Chef.

- I got two beautiful halibuts on the window.

- Garnish is good. How long on two strip?

- Let's go, boys.

We got to go. We gotta push this out.

- Got it, you got it? - Yeah.

We're this close.

- Fries right here, Chef.

- How long, Red Team? - 30 seconds.

- 30 seconds? - 30 seconds.

- Come on, get it up, get it up.

We're all pushing each other.

I just need a sizzle.

And we're just trying to get this thing up so we can win.

- Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

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

Let's wait for the ticket to finish.

- Let's pray.

It's just 90 minutes into dinner service,

and both kitchens are in a race

to complete service first.

- Last table, Red Team. - Yes, Chef.

- Blue Team, last table. - Yes, Chef.

It's neck and neck, guys. Come on.

But Brett on the Red Team

has slowed down their final ticket

with an undercooked halibut.

- Come on, Brett, please. - 30 seconds.

It all comes down to Sakari's final steak.

- Blue Team, come here.

Yes, Chef.

- One ticket each, and look,

steak's blue.

- Back in the pan! You had it. - Yes, Chef.

- Come on, come on. - Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it.

- Come on. - Bring it, bring it, bring it.

- It's not even rare! - Uh-oh, uh-oh.

going down.

- You got it, Chef. - It's blue!

- Go, go, go. - Gentlemen!

On the heat, on the heat.

- It's definitely super frustrating.

That's going to be--

it's going to be about a minute and a half.

- Please, you've got that now, right?

- Let's go. - Yes, Chef.

- They're plating their last ticket.

pressure. Pressure, dog.

That pressure.

- Red Team. - Yes, Chef.

- Congratulations. - Thank you, Chef.

- Well done. - Thank you, Chef.

- Good job, guys.

- Brett, good job. - Thank you, Chef.

Good job, good job. Tara, Good job.

Holy, we won.

That's right. We won.

We won, we won, we won.

Go girls!

And Brett, of course.

- Can I go see the medic? - Well done.

Yeah, of course you can. - Thank you.

- Please show me, please.

Yeah, just get the cooling liquid on there.

- Absolutely. - Okay?

A little bucket of ice on the side,

so you just dip your hands in. - Perfect.

- Okay? Stay away from the hot, yeah?

- Yes, Chef.

- Let's make it--send it out.

Let's get it out. - You had it.

You had it.

- It was in our grasp.

The whole time, it was in our grasp.

And we just--

we let it slip away.

Lost again.

The last steak.

- Sucks.

I took a chance.

It didn't have time to rest like the other steak.

I wanted to push through that finish line,

and we were so close.

Ay, yi, yi.

- Blue Team, come here. - Yes, Chef.

- You guys had it. So close.

But... you lost.

That's it.

- Yes, Chef.

- Now, I want you to go back to the dorm

and think about everything you've seen and witnessed

in this competition so far--

every challenge,

every service, every punishment,

and then come back to me with two nominees.

Yes, Chef.

- Now get out of here.

- We should have won tonight.

God, dude, we were so close.

- You should have pushed back on that strip

and said it's not ready.

A mistake.

We wouldn't be here right now.

- Bro, listen, man, it is what it is, man.

Just because that last ticket was under,

I don't deserve to go home tonight,

because I think I'm one of the best chefs here.

- I'm going with, obviously, Sakari and Abe.

Man, I wish we didn't have that salmon mishap.

- That wasn't my fault. I didn't know it was called.

So when he called it fired,

I had to fire it right then.

I don't deserve to leave this place.

I'm not the weakest chef.

I can be heard. I have that energy.

And Alejandro, he has some skills,

but he doesn't have leadership skills.

Y'all know where y'all up.

And we all know where we stand.

So Sakari and Ale.

Ale, you had your faults.

You had your-- you know, your mess-ups.

- Chef Ramsay can see the mistakes,

you know what I mean?

It's about how you bounce back.

But he's also looking at the overall

who can be a leader.

- He expects a lot outta you.

He expects for you to have a voice.

- You've been falling behind on challenges

here and there too, so--

- I make up for it.

Honestly, when Abe tells me that I am going up,

I don't listen to him, because I have the skills.

I have that tenacity.

And unlike Abe, I can lead a kitchen.

Alex?

- Oh, man.

This sucks, dude.

- Let's get one thing straight, shall we?

That was a very strong service.

And that's why I put the decision in your hands.

First to finish wins.

Alex, Blue Team's first nominee and why.

- Our first nomination is Sakari, Chef.

Based on his lack of voice, communication,

and the accountability of that last New York strip,

that's why he's going up.

- Blue Team's second nominee and why.

- Uh...

- Alex...

Blue Team's second nominee and why.

- Uh...

- Abe...

we believe that from creativity, leadership,

communication, challenges, and dinner services,

he was one of the weakest chefs.

- Abe, Sakari, step forward, please.

Abe...

Why do you think should stay in Hell's Kitchen?

- My previous challenges have put me up here.

I can't control my past, but I can control my future.

I've elevated from everything I've learned

and I just keep pushing forward.

I'm here for the win.

- Sakari, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?

- Chef, I got discipline, drive, determination.

I got passion. I fight hard.

I leave it all out there every single day.

I don't give up, Chef.

- This is really hard.

Every decision gets harder and harder.

My decision is...

Brett.

- Wait, what?

- Come here and give me your jacket.

Young man... - Yes?

- I'm gonna be honest with you now.

You had a rough night tonight,

and the four women bailed you out.

And you need, right now, to listen.

- Yes, Chef.

You're going to the Blue Team.

Abe.

Young man, it's time for you to say goodbye.

But let me tell you something really important.

Your nine kids back home

should be very proud of what you've done.

Because your efforts

and the determination on top of that effort

has been second to none.

And young man, when we're in the trenches,

every chef in the country looks to guys like you

to bail them out.

You never, ever, ever gave up once.

And that goes a long way with me.

- It means everything to me, Chef.

- Head up, and give me your jacket, please.

Well done.

- Thank you, Chef. Thank you.

- And good luck.

Being here was an uphill battle for me.

I felt like I was a black sheep,

but I'm proud.

I know my family is gonna be proud.

Chef Ramsay, thank you for everything.

I came out a winner tonight.

I walked out the door as a winner.

- Listen.

You need to know that every mistake now is magnified.

Because after all, one of you will be the next head chef

Hell's Kitchen Caesar's Atlantic City.

Get out of here.

- I'm just happy that I'm still here.

But there's gonna be no more passes.

I have to show Chef Ramsay why I'm here.

I'm here to win.

It's time to step it up.

- When Chef Ramsay said Brett's name,

I was completely shocked.

At this point, anybody can go home.

Like, you never know how it's gonna go.

This is where I buckle in and be the best that I can be.

- Oh, my God.

I don't know if I can feel happy right now.

But I'm definitely grateful

that he hasn't given up on me.

But this is my last chance.

I'm definitely gonna fight for my life.

- Abe's performance tonight was more like a C minus.

With only the best chefs left in the competition,

his grades just don't make the cut.

Next time, on "Hell's Kitchen"...

- Cheers, guys.

When Chef Ramsay throws

a star-studded charity event--

- Blue Team, you're cooking for baseball stars.

Yes, Chef.

- Right now, this is a big error.

Come on, guys. - Yes, Chef.

- Gordon's not a happy camper.

Will one chef throw a curveball?

- Count, make sure we have more than 12.

- Count the plates, count the plates.

- We're down one. - Son of a bitch.

I mean, hell.

To strike out his own teammate.

- I don't know whether that's sabotage or not,

but come on, Brett, please.

- Welcome to the big boy league.

And will an old friendship turn sour?

- Obviously, I need to be more of, like, a bitch.

It's an episode of clashes...

- If it sounds like I'm whining or whatever--

- Yes, you are.

Then,.

And splashes.

- Oh, my God. - Oh.

On the next "Hell's Kitchen."
