Previously, on "Hell's Kitchen"...

- Show him what we got. - Hit it!

In the first Battle of the Sexes challenge...

- Ladies, whose slider am I tasting?

- Mine, Chef.

Nicole slid her slider ahead of Sommer's...

- I really need to prove that I can win.

- It's just a bit one-dimensional for me.

Unfortunately cementing the loss

for the Red Team.

Like, I know what I'm doing and, like--

- It's fine. - Nicole doesn't have

a clue about anything.

At dinner service...

- Can I get anybody anything?

Can I do anything for anyone?

Brett's burgers left his team out in the cold.

Raw meat.

- Raw, dude.

- But fortunately... - Abe.

- Yes, Chef? - That's an A on the meat.

Abe made the grade.

- I found a passion to where I could make the dean's list.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

While over in the Red kitchen...

- Mindy, let's go!

Mindy slayed her scallops.

- Beautifully cooked. - Yes, Chef.

Thank you. - Nice.

And Sommer and Alyssa...

- Back room, now.

- Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

Melted down on the meat station.

- Help me!

And when Dafne drowned on the fish station...

- These pans are too hot.

- There's just no momentum in here!

Blue Team, take over!

The Blue Team came to the rescue--

- I'm fine. I got it. - Yeah, okay,

I'm gonna stand here next to you.

- You don't need to stand next to me.

- I do.

which made a number

of chefs on the Red Team vulnerable.

- I don't feel like you're stronger than I am.

- I didn't get yelled at at all.

At elimination, the Red Team nominated...

- Alyssa, Nicole, and Mindy.

But in the end, Chef Ramsay sent...

- Nicole.

Home, ending her dream of becoming

head chef at Hell's Kitchen Caesars Atlantic City.

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

- What are you waiting for?

Get out of here.

- I'm sad that my team put me up.

I don't do bad work.

It's really hard to stay positive

when you keep losing and losing and losing

and losing and losing.

So I have to fight back tomorrow,

because I'm not ready to go.

And I'm not gonna let myself or anyone else down again.

- Yo, between me and you, Alex doesn't like me.

And that's fine. I don't give a.

I'm not here to make friends.

- Well, you know, everybody's gonna be bumping elbows.

Your personality doesn't sit with him.

My personality doesn't sit with him,

'cause he's a calm and base person.

And we're Tasmanian devils.

- Yeah, we're Tasmanian devils, so we got energy.

I'm like--you know?

- But I'm like, you can't change somebody

for who they are.

- You know, like, I'm pumping us up.

I'm trying to get us going, you know what I'm saying? Like--

- Yeah, he's killing it on the challenges, dude.

- It's the -- - But I'ma tell you this now.

It's not about the challenge. It's about how the line--

- That's right. - It's how you work

on the line. - Hey.

- On the line-- - That's the real

game, right there. - That's the real game.

That's the real game.

- If he can do that, he's going to be a major threat.

- Look at my muscles. - I see.

- Ahh!

Holy! The fire alarm!

- Is that a fire alarm, bro? - That's a fire alarm.

- That's a fire alarm. - Oh, my God.

This place is on fire.

It's gonna burn down. We've got to get out of here.

- Right now! - Hurry up right now!

- Right now.

- We gotta go. Go, go, go!

- Is that everybody?

- I'm in my pajamas. What? What's going on?

Aah! This is crazy!

- I think I smell something burning as I'm running,

and I hope it's burnt toast.

- Hurry up.

What the?

Is this actually an emergency? Like, what's happening?

- How about saying good morning?

Good morning!

- Oh, man.

There are a crap ton of firemen and EMTs,

and I'm glad I had the wherewithal

to put my shorts on over my underwear.

- Now, listen carefully.

Fortunately, there is no fire in Hell's Kitchen.

Yes, it's early in the morning.

But as you can see, we have some very, very

special guests this morning.

And let me tell you, these brave men and women

risk their lives on a daily basis

to keep us all safe.

They look after us, right? - Yes, Chef!

- For your next challenge, we're gonna

look after all of them.

They've just finished their overnight shift

literally minutes ago.

And trust me, they're tired.

But most importantly, they are hungry.

- My sister's a first responder in the Army.

So cooking for them also makes me feel like

I'm cooking for her, and it kinda brings

a piece of home to my heart.

- I want all of you to execute

a delicious breakfast as a thank you

for all the hard work they do.

The first team to get all their dishes to the table

wins the challenge.

Is that clear?

Yes, Chef!

- Both my parents are retired police officers.

They've taught me all about the importance of serving

the community and discipline.

So this breakfast means a lot to me.

- Let's go. Step to it.

- Yes, Chef! - Let's go.

- Move, move, move, move, move, move, move!

- This challenge is so freaking important to me.

- Good morning, Chef. - Good morning. Let's go.

- Back home, I am a breakfast, brunch, and lunch chef.

You know who's about to own this right now?

This is me. - You.

- I'm 100% on taking charge of this.

Today, it's time to win.

- Hurry, hurry, hurry, guys! Get down to the kitchen!

Get ready for service!

- I've been on four punishments in a row.

I have not left Hell's Kitchen yet.

We have to win this.

- Guys, let's go over this real quick.

- So you have the appetizers.

We're going to do the cooler and the pear salad.

Every table will receive a pear salad,

an orange passion fruit cooler, and a platter

of firehouse potatoes to share.

- Two minutes, guys. Yes? - Yes, Chef.

- Yes, Chef. Two minutes.

- It's two minutes! - Two minutes.

For their entree, diners will have

a choice of steak and eggs, pancakes,

or a breakfast sandwich.

- Blue Team, Red Team, our guests are sitting down.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

The first team to feed

their side of the dining room

and ring the fire station bell wins the challenge.

- Here we go, guys.

Dining room's filling up.

- This is gonna go fast and furious, boys.

- Fast and furious. - Heard that, Chef!

- Okay, fire ladies, let's go.

Six cover table 31.

Six salad. Heard? - Yes, Chef!

- Let's go. - Six salad?

Do you want somebody helping you mix the salad

before you do the juice, or-- - No, I'm getting the juice,

and then I'm doing a salad, Chef.

- You know it's a speed challenge, right?

- Yes, Chef.

As Sommer takes on the salad

and juice by herself, over

over in the Blue kitchen--

- On order--four covers, 22, four salad.

Heard? - Heard, Chef!

- Four salad. - Four salads.

Keep going with the taters. I got the salad, yes?

- Heard. - I'm a minute and a half

out on the salad, guys.

Growing up, breakfast was one of the first things

that I learned how to cook.

I love breakfast.

Two salads walking followed by two more.

- Good push. Good push through.

- I just want to make sure everything goes out perfectly.

This challenge means so much to me.

- Good. Go, please. Thank you. Go.

21, yes?

While Sakari sends out the Blue Team's salads

at a blistering pace...

- Good? - Yep, thank you.

- Looks good.

Over in the Red kitchen...

- Alyssa, help her do the salad.

I got your potato. - What do you need?

What do you need? - All right, get another bowl

working with another thing of salad, please.

- I need tongs. Yep, yep.

Sommer is struggling to get the salads out

to the first responders.

- Come on, just plate it.

Yeah, yeah. - It's okay.

- Come on, come on, come on. We got this, Alyssa, okay?

- I know. I'm fine. - We got this.

- How long salad? - Salad, 30 seconds, Chef.

- Waiting on the salad. - Help me with the garnish.

Help me with the garnish. Help me with the garnish.

- Ugh, dude.

Sommer needs to lose the attitude right now.

Every component on the plate.

- Okay, I get it. You gotta talk a little better.

- I'm talking. Every component on the plate, Alyssa.

- Okay. The--I'm-- - Thank you.

While Alyssa and Sommer

battle over salad prep...

- On order. Six covers, table 23.

Three steak and eggs, three breakfast sandwich,

six potatoes. Heard? - Heard, Chef!

The Blue Team is now moving on to entrees.

- Let's go, guys! We can do this.

- We gotta get this out. We gotta ring that bell first.

- Come on, let's go then! We gotta speed up.

It's a salad! - Yes, Chef.

- All right. Walking. Here.

Two salads. Behind, behind, behind, walking.

- All right, behind.

- Go, Christina.

As the Red Team

finally gets their salads out--

- Oh, here comes the salad.

Look, that's why he was yelling earlier.

The Blue Team is already bringing their first

entrees to the pass.

- Let's go, guys! Let's go!

- Three sandwiches. Walking. - One minute!

- Right, how long for those steaks?

- Now, Chef! - Walking them, Chef.

This steak's raw.

Hey!

This steak's raw.

What temp do I want? - Medium rare, Chef.

- Medium rare. What's that? - Rare.

- That's rare. - Damn it.

- Alejandro is dropping the ball.

- Let's go, Alejandro! You got this, baby!

- Thank you. - We know how to cook steaks.

We're better than that. We've shown

that we're better than that.

We gotta bounce back.

While the Blue Team attempts to recover

from Alejandro's mistake...

- Guys, we're better than this.

Over in the Red kitchen...

- On order. Six covers, table 33.

Two steak and eggs, two breakfast sandwich,

two pancakes, six potatoes. Heard?

- Heard! - Yes, Chef!

- Let's go! - Ileana is getting

battered on the pancake station.

- Damn it.

You guys, these pancakes are with me.

Gosh, cooking breakfast

for all these first responders, the pressure's on.

My mom's a nurse, so I wanna win this for my mom.

We need five on that next ticket, all right?

- How are you doing on your pancakes?

- Uh, I-- - You're hot, huh?

- I'm doing okay. I just need to get better color on them.

- We're not going down. You got this.

- We're not going down, ladies. - Keep watching it!

Come on, turn your heat down just a little bit, Ileana.

That's a beautiful pancake, girl.

- I need those pancakes now.

- Yes, Chef! - I've served the rest.

- Alyssa, I need two plates over here, okay?

- I need two now! - Plates, plates, plates.

Here, here, here.

- Pancakes look really easy, but it's hard.

- Come on, girls! You got this!

- They're hard in Hell's Kitchen.

All right, and now walk. Walk them.

And I'm gonna get the next pancakes on, okay?

- Yep, yep, yep, yep.

- Go Christina, please. 33, yes?

- Yes, Chef. - With Ileana's

quick recovery on the pancake station...

- Let's go! - The Red Team

is back on track and pushing out entrees.

- Oh, that's good. - Ohh.

While over in the Blue kitchen...

- Alex, could you double check me?

I'm second guessing myself so bad, dude.

Alejandro is still unsure of his refired steaks.

- Pull.

Can you run that? - Yes.

- Hot. Be careful.

- Oh, my good God.

Hey, Blue Team!

In today's speed breakfast challenge,

both teams are racing to deliver food

to the first responders.

- Can you run that? - Yes.

- Hot. Be careful.

But Alejandro's struggle

on the meat station...

- Oh, my good God.

Threatens to derail the Blue Team.

- Hey, Blue Team! - Yes, Chef.

- Yes, Chef. - Come here!

Three sandwich, three steak.

I get two steak, and the last thing that comes up is what?

Med-well.

- Is that your best? - No, Chef!

- Come on, guys! - Let's go!

- Yes, Chef! Come on, guys!

- Really? We go from rare to med-well.

I just wanted medium rare!

And, boy, do those guys know their temperatures!

- Yeah, I think they got it pretty good--

- These guys are hungry. Come on, let's push this.

Alejandro, just get it right.

Over, under. Like, what the?

It's breakfast.

While Alejandro refires his steaks

for the second time...

- On order. Four covers, table 32.

Two steak and eggs, two sandwich, four potatoes.

Heard? - Yes, Chef!

It's up to Dafne and Tara

on the sandwich station

to keep the Red Team's momentum going.

- All right, guys, eggs, sandwiches, two minutes?

- Yes. - Heard.

- Today, I am making the open-face breakfast sandwich.

But I haven't had my coffee, so give me a minute.

When you need to do the omelets, you let me know.

I can stop. - Yeah, we'll both do it, okay.

- I also haven't worked with Tara long enough

to see how consistent she is on the line,

and I'm just hoping for the best.

- Oh, my gosh.

You put these in the bottom, not the top, okay.

- It's fine. - But it's upside down.

- It's fine. - I know I'm gonna put those

egg sandwiches together the way I wanna put them together,

and they're gonna come out the right way.

That's supposed to be the top.

- It-it doesn't matter. - Okay.

- They're not checking what goes on top

or what's on the bottom.

- Dafne and Tara, they're definitely

stumbling over sandwiches, so it's kinda worrisome.

While Dafne and Tara try to figure out

how to stack a breakfast sandwich--

- It's fine. All you're gonna do is flip it.

Ready? - Yeah.

Over in the Blue kitchen...

- Can I have the New York strip, please?

- Yes, Chef! Do these feel-- these feel fine.

- Guys, come on with the steaks.

- Those feel fine. - Chef, right here.

- Hopefully they're good. - Hot behind.

Walking.

- Service, please.

As the Blue Team finally sends out

orders of steak and eggs...

Over in the Red kitchen..

- Okay, give me the egg and-- give me the egg right here.

- Like, right here? - No, no. Other way.

Flip it. Flip it, flip it, flip it.

Dafne and Tara are still not seeing

eye-to-eye on how to stack the breakfast sandwiches.

- Sausage then bacon. - No, no, no, no.

- Sausage then bacon.

- I don't really know what's going on

with the breakfast sandwiches.

Some of 'em are upside down. Some of 'em are inside out.

- Oh, my God. Okay. It's okay.

- Making a breakfast sandwich, it's not rocket science.

It's not hard. I just hope that all their food

is hitting the window just as well as mine is.

- All right, walking, walking.

- Two sandwiches!

After a brief setback...

- Service, please go.

The Red Team's breakfast sandwiches

finally reached the hungry first responders.

- This was definitely worth the wait.

It was.

And now both teams are racing

to finish first as they each work their final tickets.

- On order fire. Six covers, table 27.

Two steak and eggs, two pancake, two sandwich all day.

- Yes, Chef! - How long? Meat?

- Three. Give us three.

- Making more bananas.

Sausages are resting. Eggs are good.

We got this thing, man.

Like, refocus and cook. We got this.

- Let's ring that bell, baby. Let's ring that bell.

- Last table, yes? - Yes, Chef!

- Okay! Now, the last table. - Yes, Chef.

- Come on, girls! Come on, girls!

- This is our last ticket! - Let's get this!

- We need to win this for them.

We're winning this for them.

- Guys, we gotta go! We gotta go!

Come on, guys. - Good. Two of 'em?

- So I need, like, 30 seconds on that, all right?

- 30 seconds. Heard! - 30 seconds, ladies.

- Come on, ladies. Come on, let's--

- They're on their last table, too.

Come on. - Somebody work the next three.

- I need 90 seconds. - We got food down

in the windows. - All right, plating

potatoes, guys! - Go, go, go, go, go.

- We got this, girls. We got this.

- Top it up with that. - Let's go. Push, push, push!

- Come on, boys. We're better than this.

- Guys, how long to the window?

- Ladies, well done.

Ring the bell, Tara, please. - Whoo!

Ring the bell! Ring the bell!

- Yes! - Yeah, ladies!

- We got that one. Yes! - Yes!

- Yes! Yes!

- Right now, I'm pissed.

We shouldn't have lost.

Sending up bad steaks, raw steaks, overcooked steaks--

you know, it's embarrassing.

- Ladies and gentlemen, I can't tell you

how important this breakfast was for all of us.

Thank you for keeping us all safe 24/7

and for all you do for the community.

Ladies, congratulations. - Thank you, Chef.

- Get ready to party.

I'm throwing you the ultimate Hollywood Hills party

from the comfort of your own palatial mansion.

- Whoa! - Yes!

- Wow. - First off, you'll enjoy

sunbathing, sipping cocktails by the pool.

But I've got a very special surprise for you.

You'll feast on Korean-Mexican fusion

catered by Kogi from pioneering chef Roy Choi.

Oh, my goodness!

- Wow. - Oh, man.

- Tara, Mindy, you're desperate to get out of here?

- Oh, yes, Chef. - It's crazy.

- Yeah? I mean, it must be a blessing for you two,

'cause you haven't left Hell's Kitchen yet.

- Haven't left. Very excited. - We're ready.

- I get to leave Hell's Kitchen.

I get to actually get out of the dorms and go on a reward.

This is amazing.

- Whilst the Red Team are partying like the A-listers,

Blue Team, you'll be doomed on the D-list today.

The D stands for Dumpster,

'cause today is trash sorting day.

You need to get in all those dumpsters

and separate the trash.

A little warning--these bins have been filling up.

It's rancid.

Alejandro and Alex, you have those very powerful

punishment passes.

Take a look at the Red Team and think about

if you want to play that punishment pass,

who would you want to swap out with?

- Ohh, my God.

I swear, if I get swapped out,

I am going to cut somebody.

I have not left this kitchen.

- Alejandro, are you going to the Hills,

or are you going to the dumpster?

- Chef, I'm a firm believer that when you fail as a team,

you go down as a team, so I am not going to use it.

- Okay, Alex, are you going to Hollywood Hills,

or are you diving deep into those dumpsters?

- Dumpster diving for life, Chef.

- Ladies, what are you waiting for?

You've got an exciting afternoon. Get out!

- Yes, Chef. - Oh, my God.

Let's get ready. - It's a kini party.

- I really can't believe it. Red Team, like, let's go.

Let's keep this momentum going.

Like, we needed this. I'm so happy.

Gentlemen, head back into the dorms.

Get changed, because you are going to stink.

- Yes, Chef. - It really sucks seeing

these girls get so excited to leave, and I'm so jealous.

Now it's time to put our big-boy pants on

and take this punishment on the chin.

Yeah!

Red Team!

- Oh, yes!

I'm so happy right now.

I needed the feeling to win, and I'm ecstatic.

We're loving this moment.

- Let's go!

- So we're gonna have two people build this compost box.

And then the rest are gonna sort--

recycling, trash, compost.

- I gotta say, this is the probably worst thing

I've ever had to do. - Is the wind blowing this way?

- Oh, my God, dude. - Damn it.

- There's the fish guts.

It's literally fish juice that's been sitting there,

and it smells God awful.

I love fish and whatnot, but man.

I'm, like, steered clear from fish for a while.

Oh, dude, in my clog?

You.

- Billy, it wasn't on purpose, dude.

- Bro, come on! What a douche!

- Let's go, girls.

- Hey, hey. - Oh, my God.

This is awesome.

- Oh, my God, I'm so excited.

- Yes, indeed.

- Holy crap. I live here, and I've never seen this.

- I can see my house from here. - This is nice.

- And I live in Virginia. - Wow.

Look at the snow in the mountains.

That's cool. - Oh, my gosh.

This is wild. - This is ridiculous.

I don't even have words for how cool this place is.

Like, beautiful views, all of Los Angeles.

Absolutely insane.

- A three is a ringer, and one if you touch.

- I got a point, guys!

Ha! - Yeah!

- I'm supposed to be here bonding with my team,

and I just find it hard for me to fit in

because of my personality clash with Sommer.

- Oh! Ahh! - Yeah!

- I definitely kinda feel like a little bit of an outcast

in a sort of sense.

- Ahh! - Winning today is amazing,

but I'm a little bit worried about Alyssa.

Ugh, it's really killing my vibe,

but nothing's gonna stop me from having fun.

Ah. This is delicious.

That's some nasty-ass

Bleh!

It's getting worse down here, huh?

- "Secure five." - Very clear

and concise instructions. - I got you.

- A lot of slats and battens. - Yeah, yeah, that's it.

- I don't speak slat and batten.

That paper can be composted.

- No, I think they both slide. - Guys, you need to hurry up

up with those compost bins. - We're coming! We're coming!

- I'm not Tim Allen.

I'm not Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.

I don't know how the hell to build a compost bin.

I'm doing the best I can.

- Alex, feel free, get right up in there, bro.

- It has taken them too damn long to put

this compost bin together.

I could have had that compost bin built in half the time

as these two 40-year-old ding-dongs.

- Go get in the fish guts, bro, like we've been.

- Oh, my god.

Billy just doesn't quit.

He just does not quit.

- Come on, guys. - Billy, just stop talking.

Shut the up, Billy.

- Yo! Abe and Alex are over there taking their time,

building this compost, chilling over there,

sniffing wood while I got my frigging nose up fish guts?

It's not gonna happen.

I'm not gonna shut up.

You're gonna get in there, pretty boy, or what?

- Yes, dude. - All right.

- I'm going to get in there. - Come on, bro.

- You're making enough enemies, Billy.

Just keep it quiet, brother. - This is brutal

over here. - I don't care.

- I'm just letting you know. - Y'all want to get over here

and switch out, come on. - I mean, I'm not no carpenter.

- It's 90 miles an hour 99% of the time.

- Yo, "Home Improvement," we almost there?

- Shut up, Billy!

- Oh, my goodness. - Wow!

- Kogi is one of the best food trucks in Los Angeles.

Oh, my God, this looks amazing.

I see pork tacos, chicken tacos, short rib tacos.

I want all of that!

This is nice. - You won't hear me speak

in, like, about five minutes,

'cause that's how long it's gonna take me to devour this.

- This food is-- 1 to 10, it's a 50,000.

So good.

Y'all ready for service? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.

- Nobody is going home tonight.

- Like, I'm done trimming the fat on teams.

We've trimmed too much. We've been too many.

Like, we're done. - It's no fat left

on this team.

- I'm finally feeling

relaxed and stress free.

But in the back of my mind, I know there's some tension.

I just wanna bond together over this amazing experience.

- Ready, everybody, cheers with it.

Cheers!

- You can't be running your mouth

when we're doing punishments like that.

- You know, like I'm saying, dude.

- You can bust chops. You can bust chops.

But when we're -- - Everyone busts

my all day, and as soon as I let--

bust a couple here and there,

you know, I'm the bad guy.

- Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy.

Oh, I wasn't trying to bust your directly, bro.

- You know, you're burning your bridges.

You're digging your ditch, man.

Yeah, but like I said, just find the place to do it, dude.

- All right, bro. - I wanna see

the best in people, but, like,

I just get to the point that I wish

I would just let him walk off the edge himself.

You're pissing everybody off. - Right.

- It wasn't just me.

Like, I'm like, Billy, stop.

You know what I'm saying?

- No, I hear you, bro. - So--

- I mean--you know? - I'm just--

- Okay, no. I appreciate the feedback, of course.

After two very different afternoons--

- All right, everyone practice something on your station.

Let's go. - both teams are back

in the kitchens to prep for dinner service.

- Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

- Roll out some of this. You don't need to use this.

Mindy, no using this. You don't need to use this.

- You giving callbacks for Chef?

- Yeah. I'm gonna look here.

- No, I'm saying

when he calls for-- - Yeah. When he calls, yes.

- Matthew? - Yes, Chef.

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

- Yes, Chef.

Once again, Hell's Kitchen

is the number one reservation in Los Angeles.

- Cheers!

- See, you can learn a few things.

The dining room is full

of celebrity diners and others looking to celebrate.

- A little something else for you here,

a little bubbles for you. - Wow!

Thank you. - Thank you!

- Yeah, congratulations. - Thank you.

- Yeah, I thought you wouldn't mind.

- Here we go, ladies.

Four covers, table 31. Two risotto, two flatbread. Yes?

- Yes, Chef! - Let's go.

- How long, two risotto, two flatbread?

- I'm waiting for flatbread. Once those drop,

it'll be four minutes out. - Heard.

- Get the lobster down now then.

- We have it down. - It's down.

- Okay.

- No, no. Roll out new ones.

- This is my first time on apps.

I'm feeling nervous just because I was up

for elimination last night.

- Two risos, two flatbreads, yes?

- Yes, two risos, two flatbread.

- All right. - Give me 30 seconds,

and I'll have 'em in the oven.

I know that people think I'm not a strong cook,

but I wanna show the rest of my team,

like, I do have what it takes.

- What can I do to help? - I'm good.

- My worst nightmare is Alyssa and Tara

on a station together,

so I'm just hoping that one of them

will speak up and be more of a leader.

- I'm, like, 30 seconds on this.

- I'm definitely a little bit worried.

- Where's the cheese?

- Did you not put the cheese on?

- No. No, we are, Chef.

- Come on, young lady. - Yeah.

- I know.

- Chey, can you walk? - Walking now, walking now.

- Two risotto walking! - Lobster, you got?

- Lobster's coming right now!

- Between you.

- I'm walking with two flatbreads.

- Yeah, you're good. Go.

- Straight up, please.

While Alyssa, Tara, and Cheyenne

manage to come together to get the Red Team off

to a respectable start...

Chef Ramsay is hoping

for the same in Blue.

- On order on fire. Four covers, table 24.

Two carbonara, two scallops, yes?

- Yes, Chef! - Abe, got to go.

- Yes, Chef. - Abes, I'm going

with you on two scallops.

- Two carbonara, two scallops!

- Five minutes on the carbonara!

I got to count on this one, guys!

Before coming to Hell's Kitchen,

I never really made carbonaras,

and they're very tricky.

- You're gonna need to work that.

- Yeah.

Boom. You know, I feel confident,

but I was still nervous

because I gotta get that rhythm.

As soon as I get that, I'm golden.

- You should have roughly four minutes to the window.

Yes? - I'm counting on--

I have to count down. Let me count, okay?

- Okay.

- No, I already got-- you don't--

I don't have nothing going on over here, okay?

Please don't come over here and jump in my way

if I don't have-- - Abe, you got a slam there.

- Yes, Chef. - Alejandro slides down.

Teamwork. Come on! - Yes, Chef.

- Yes, Chef. - Okay?

- Sometimes Abe comes off a little bit combative.

But he's just a looooot.

- 'Bout to walk now. 'Bout to walk now.

Walking now! - Scallops walking!

- Go, take it, take it.

hell.

Abe!

It's 20 minutes into dinner service.

hell.

And Abe's carbonara

has just been delivered to Chef Ramsay.

- Abe.

Touch that. You know it's undercooked.

I'm telling you, touch it. Taste it. Come on!

You can just see it with your eyes.

pasta. I got it.

- Is that what you think we would do in Atlantic City?

- No, Chef. No, Chef.

- Let's go!

- Bounce back, Chef!

- Keep it on that-- - I got--

No, you have to keep it on and off, bro.

- We're all waiting on Abe.

He's got one dish-- pasta carbonara.

Easiest thing on the menu.

And at this moment, it's hurting us.

- Come on, Abe. Let's go!

- It should be there.

Is it there? - No, I'm just trying

not to overcook it.

- Ten more seconds, Chef. - Ten more seconds.

Two carbonaras walking to the window.

- Let's go.

Service, please.

- Oh, come on. - Is it good?

- Yeah? - It's really creamy.

- Amazing. - With Abe's carbonara

making a strong impression on diners,

over in the Red kitchen..

- Four covers, table five.

Two Wellington, two lamb.

- Yes, Chef! - Let's go.

- Lamb. - Ileana and Dafne

are trying to find their rhythm on the meat station.

- Start two lamb? Okay. - Yep.

It's my first time on meat station,

and I'm a little bit uneasy going into it,

but I've got Dafne right beside me.

- Sear it first on the fat side.

- Fat cap? - Yep.

- Working meat station is a song and dance.

Behind.

- Watch that for me.

- That's the lamb? Can I feel it?

- How long, Red Team?

- Walking, Chef. - Sauce, behind.

Behind.

- Uh, Chef?

- Right. Dafne, Ileana, come here.

- Yes, Chef?

- Look how perfect that cook is.

I want all of them like that, okay?

- Yes, Chef. - So stop panicking.

You've set the bar, okay? - Yes, Chef!

- Chef Gordon Ramsay, the best chef in the world

walking the Earth right now,

is complimenting my food.

- And I'm on cloud nine. I feel so good about it.

With the diners singing

the Red Team's praises...

- On order, six top.

Two salmon, two New York strip, two Wellington.

- Yes, Chef! - Two Wellington, Chef.

- Yes, Chef! Six minutes out!

Vlad is trying to take charge

of the meat station in Blue.

- Stop rushing lamb.

Get two Wellingtons in.

- Heard that.

Tonight, I'm stuck on meat station with Vlad.

You know, he's a young buck and thinks he knows it all.

But guess what, dude?

I've been around the block.

Wellington's going in the hole.

I've got this. I know this station

like the back of my hand, bro.

- How many Wellies you got in? Two, right?

- Yup.

- Stress levels are high right now,

because Billy's on my station.

- I'll let you know when things are resting.

- But you're keeping a time on these, right?

- Yeah.

- He is a ticking time bomb that I have to control.

Two minutes on two strip, two salmon, one Welly!

- So am I cutting, bro? Tell me when to cut.

- You're not cutting anything.

You gotta listen, too, man.

30 seconds... - 30 seconds, Welly.

- And we're walking.

- How long, Blue Team?

No answer. - Walking salmon.

- Two strip, one Welly.

- Selling garnish right now, Chef.

- Where's the Wellington?

Two salmon, two New York strip, two Wellington!

I've got one Wellington.

- Sorry, Chef. - Two Salmon,

two New York strip, two Wellington!

- Yes, Chef. - Help me out!

- I'm sorry, Chef. - Won't happen again, Chef!

- Run it. Run it. - All right.

- Run it. - Go, go, go, go.

- With sauce, go.

- Y'all got to answer, dude. Y'all got to answer.

- I was told one Wellington. I asked him.

- We've been talking the whole time.

- You know I-- - Two salmon, two strips,

two Wellington. - I was told one Wellington.

- Two New York strip, two Wellington,

two salmon--that was it!

- Yes, Chef. - And you both stand there

walking like dummies with one Wellington.

How do you miss it?

- I'm sorry, Chef.

Bro, you told me one Wellington.

- Two minutes on two strip, two salmon, one welly!

Vlad burned me.

I was told one Wellington, bro.

You got to let me know, okay? - Yup, yup.

- Go. - While the Blue Team

attempts to... - Bounce back.

Over in the Red kitchen...

- On order. Four covers, table 34.

Two strip, one salmon, one halibut.

- Yes, Chef! - Two strip, one salmon,

one halibut, heard!

Cheyenne on fish

is trying to keep the ladies' momentum going.

- Two strips, four minutes. - Heard!

We are a well-oiled machine.

Everybody's working together.

All right, dropping halibut!

So I hope we can just keep it up.

- Two strip, one halibut, one salmon, yes?

- I don't have a salmon on ready.

Hey, I'll need six.

- Don't start knocking backwards again.

- Yes, Chef. - What happened?

- The salmon wasn't on fire, Chef.

- So those New York strips are gonna be overcooked now?

- No, Chef. No, Chef.

- So six minutes from now? - Yes, Chef!

- Because you forgot to put the salmon on?

- Yes, Chef. - Oh, my God Almighty.

- I don't know where the miscommunication is,

but let's not drop the ball now.

That salmon better be some perfection.

While Cheyenne tries to get back

on track on the fish station--

- I'd like to send a shot over to the bachelorette table.

Let's get 'em a shot.

- Cheers. - Whoo!

Whoo!

Over in the Blue kitchen...

- On order on fire. Four covers, table 24.

Two halibut, two lamb. - Yes, Chef!

Chef Ramsay has another assignment for Billy.

- Billy, fire table, three desserts.

- Three desserts. Heard, Chef.

- I got this, Billy.

I'm feeling incredibly confident

cooking the proteins tonight.

I'm ready to show Chef Ramsay that I do have a voice

and that I am a leader in the kitchen,

and we're definitely gonna bring this home.

- Lamb, how long?

Going my two halibut, how long?

Talk to me, talk to me.

I'm going with meat! - Lamb, how long?

- I'm going with meat on two halibut?

- Yes, okay, sorry.

- My biggest problem with Vlad is he's not

paying attention to anybody else.

- Lamb's ready to go!

- Minute and a half. - All right, I'm ready.

He's walking garnish. I'm walking lamb.

- Not yet, not yet, minute and a half.

- Minute and a half. Listen to the time.

- Vlad doesn't have a voice, and that's a problem.

- Two halibut. - I'm walking lamb.

- Walking lamb!

- Coming in, Chef.

- Oh, man.

Come here, Blue Team.

It's over 90 minutes into dinner service...

- Oh, man.

Come here, Blue Team!

And a lack of organization

on the meat station... - What temperature

is that lamb? - Med-well.

Has put Vlad and Billy on the hot seat.

- Come on! I want two pink lamb!

- Yes, Chef! - Let's go.

- I didn't let the station slip.

I got pulled over to desserts.

- Billy? - Yes, Chef.

- Fire table, three desserts. - Three desserts.

Heard, Chef. - I got this, Billy.

- It wasn't me, man. It was Vlad.

Do you got the lamb so I can do desserts, bro?

- We're gonna finish this strong, guys. Come on.

- Strip, halibut, salmon, yes?

- Yep, 90 seconds, Chef.

Garnish is in the window.

- Garnish is in the window, Chef.

- I'm walking.

Behind.

Steak, Chef.

- Walking salmon.

Hot pan.

Man, beautiful cooking. I --I love it.

Service, please.

With Cheyenne redeeming herself in Red,

over in the Blue kitchen...

- I mean, feel it. This one's definitely ready.

- That one feels very under--

- Can you sell that one there? - That one's close.

- This one's ready to rock. - Yeah.

- Sell those two, go. - Yo.

- All right, take sauce. - Go, go, go.

- I got 'em. - Vlad is hoping

for some redemption as well.

- That's pink lamb.

Finally. - Yes, Chef.

- Yes, Chef! - With Vlad now out

of the weeds on the meat station...

- So Alex, on that ticket that's fired,

that's one strip, one lamb?

- Two halibut. - And two halibut.

- Yes. - Both teams

are full speed ahead on their last tickets.

- Walking chicken.

- All right, walking halibut.

- Halibut's beautifully cooked.

- Great job. Great job, ladies.

- Garnish walking! - Walking salmon.

- Walking two Wellington. Chicken is up.

- Sakari? - Yes, Chef.

- That salmon's cooked beautifully.

- Thank you, Chef.

- Mine's very good.

- Finished another service, guys.

We finished another service. Great job.

- That is what I call a service.

The best service so far in this competition.

But there was one kitchen that had the edge.

Congratulations, Red Team.

- Yes! - Yes!

- It feels great to win tonight, you know?

The ladies deserve this win, and I'm finally ready to see

one of those guys go home.

It's about damn time.

- I need the Blue Team to think about

the three weakest chefs on their team.

Come back to me with three nominees.

Is that clear? - Yes, Chef!

- Good. Hurry up.

- I definitely don't feel like I deserve to go up.

Billy was the weakest link, and we would all be stronger

without Billy on our team.

- Guys, we're voting for the three weakest chefs,

so however you want to base that off of.

- Whatever happened with the Wellingtons?

- That one Wellington was up there.

It was supposed to be two, and Vlad told me one.

- I would have been more comfortable without Billy

on that station tonight.

Those two lamb, you know, I didn't put 'em in the oven.

- In my defense, Chef called me over to desserts.

Meat station was fine up until then. So--

Vlad, you need to make sure you own up to your mistakes, bro,

and you know it.

- Because of how service went tonight,

I think that it's fair for me.

And then the third is the person

we feel might be the weakest chef.

But for me, the two guys on meat have to go up.

- I mean, obviously.

, man.

- So my vote right now is going to be Billy,

it's going to be Vlad, and it's going to be Alejandro.

- I agree. You had the mess-up on steaks this morning.

It was a confidence slip.

- Unfortunately, it's a stiff competition.

I am going to go with Abe.

Yesterday and today, when I hop over and try to help,

it's just like, "Hey, man, I got it.

It's all good." You just lash out.

- No, I already got--

Yo, I don't have nothing going on over here, okay?

Please don't come over here and jump in my way

if I don't have-- - Abe, you've got a slam there.

- Yes, Chef. - Alejandro slides down.

Teamwork. Come on! - Yes, Chef.

Okay?

- You know, you were behind on carbonaras.

- What, today? - Today and yesterday.

Whatever. - It just comes off

a hair combative sometimes, that's it.

- We're excited, and I do apologize.

- You have a very strong personality.

- I'm looking at overall chemistry with the team

and how things are going to go moving forward.

I'm gonna vote Abe. - I don't know.

Why would you pick me, you know?

I had two little carbonaras come back,

but I've been solid this whole competition.

- I do feel like sometimes you feel like

I'm telling you what to do, and I'm not.

When I've said, like, hey, man,

turn that pan down, your pan's smoking.

You're like, "I got it, I got it, I got it."

But, like, your pan's about to combust.

- It goes back and forth, you know what I'm saying?

But we could-- - If you tell me something

in the kitchen, I take it-- I take everything

under consideration, I don't think I have an ego

in the kitchen at all.

- You know, Alex, he said he doesn't have an ego.

But he does have his ego, 'cause he does think

he's better than me, he's smarter than me.

I don't give a.

I think I'm better than him because of my passion,

because of my drive.

- We have to pick a third nominee.

- Well, finally, I got a good service,

But the Blue Team lost,

and the competition must continue.

Sakari, Blue Team's first nominee, and why?

- Our first nominee, Chef, is Vlad.

We felt that the meat station struggled tonight, Chef.

- Blue Team's second nominee, and why?

- Our second nominee, Chef, was Billy.

We felt that he was also a part of the meat station

which was the struggling station for tonight, Chef.

- Okay.

Blue Team's third nominee, and why?

- Our third nominee, Chef...

Alejandro.

We just looked at the entire day, Chef.

And we felt that the meat station this morning

struggled, which Alejandro was in charge of.

- Billy, Vlad, Alejandro, step forward, please.

Billy, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?

- Chef, I'm a fighter that will bounce back.

I can promise you that.

And I bring a lot of energy to the team.

I got tons of passion and love.

- Tonight's service dropped the ball at the end.

Why? - The meat station

was in cruise control.

I went over to do some desserts like you asked, Chef.

And it seemed like it started to fizzle after that, Chef.

- So when you jumped on desserts,

that's when it went down.

- Yes, Chef. - No, Chef.

- So just so I'm clear, whose responsibility

was the overcooked lamb?

One of you tell me the truth.

- It was Billy, Chef. - It was Billy?

- I mean, I communicated with Vlad.

And he seemed to think it was fine, Chef.

Vlad, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?

- Chef, I definitely took the leadership role

on the meat station.

I cook beautiful proteins.

I have great skills in the kitchen.

And I'm not ready to leave, Chef.

- Alejandro, why should you say in Hell's Kitchen?

- I feel like I am a great leader.

Obviously, today was my fault,

dropped the ball big time.

But I'm a firm believer

that you can't be judged by just one day.

- You run a very successful restaurant back home.

That was a big letdown.

This is hard.

My decision is...

Alejandro.

Young man, get back in line.

- Thank you, Chef.

- The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is...

Nobody.

- Thank you, Chef.

- Both of you, back in line.

- Yes, Chef. - Thank you, Chef.

- Tonight was the second strong Blue Team service in a row.

So you get a pass, but we are not going backwards.

Get out of here.

- Amen.

The name of the game is just bounce back.

That's what Chef Ramsay wants,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

- Day in, day out, we gotta keep stepping up.

We gotta keep rising to the occasion.

And I'm not dropping the ball from this point forward.

- Red Team not only won the challenge today,

Red Team won dinner service.

That's two for two.

The boys are going down.

These girls, we are picking it up,

and we are starting to soar.

This is the team that was meant to be.

- Tonight, each chef who stumbled bounced back,

so I'm giving them a second chance.

Tomorrow, they might not be so lucky.

Next time...

- A warm welcome to Season 20 winner

Trenton and his wife-to-be, Macee!

Chef Ramsay opens the doors

for a winner's wedding.

- You may kiss your wife.

Let's go.

But the celebration goes from I thee wed...

- Walking scallops! - To I thee dread.

- Just touch them in the middle! Raw!

- Sorry, Chef. - In sickness and health!

They wouldn't even last a week married!

Which relationships are on the rocks?

- I think you're your worst enemy.

And who's headed for a divorce?

- I wanna break his bitch ass down, man.

Speak now, or forever hold your peace.

- Y'all got y'all little alliance going on

to get us outta here, I don't give a.

They're screaming.

On the next "Hell's Kitchen."

- You keep on coming at me

because you think you a bad.

Move out the way. - Abe, stop.

Abe.
