Narrator: Previously on hell's kitchen...

Man: Vegas, baby.

Narrator: 18 chefs all under the age of 23

arrived at hell's kitchen...

Ramsay: Our season 20 chefs!

Narrator: With the dream of becoming

chef ramsay's next protégé.

And be my next head chef at gordon ramsay steak 2.0

at the paris hotel casino.

(cheers and applause)

let's go!

Narrator: These young guns

were forced to mature quickly...

Can someone help me? Can someone help me?

Narrator: In the kitchen...

-Ramsay: Three. -Woman: Plate up.

-Ramsay: Two. -Woman: Get your plate up.

-Ramsay: One. -Man: Plate's up.

Ramsay: Whoo! [bleep] off, guys.

-Turkey. -Turkey, chef.

Narrator: And outside the kitchen.

I was having a-- I'm having an anxiety attack.

-Yeah. -Oh, [bleep].

-It's coming again. -Just breathe through it.

I literally came from knowing nothing,

so don't tell me I can't learn finesse.

Get going picking through the trash.

Narrator: They were put through a wide variety

of grueling tests.

Time to get down and dirty.

Woman: Yeah!

Hand me your jacket, please.

Narrator: And one by one,

the chefs not up to snuff were eliminated,

and now only two chefs remain.

This is the most anxious I've ever been.

Give it up for megan!

Narrator: Megan, a 23-year-old line cook

from denton, texas...

Your favorite dish of all.

These, the noodles.

Thank you.

Narrator: Has been rock solid...

Woman: Nice job, megan.

Narrator: Throughout the competition.

I'm gonna give one point to megan.

-Thank you, chef. -Ramsay: Well done, young lady.

Someone's gotta step up to the plate.

Walking halibut!

Narrator: Earning the respect

of her teammates...

Ramsay: Beautifully cooked.

-Thank you, chef. -Good job, meg.

Narrator: And chef ramsay.

The leader that I saw in the blue kitchen was megan.

Congratulations.

The first person advancing to the final three is megan.

Well done.

Narrator: Although she may have been self-taught...

-Ah, [bleep]! -Narrator: In the kitchen,

megan has proven she can do it all.

Very nice, megan.

Thank you, chef.

Trenton, good job on the meat, yes?

Yes, chef.

Narrator: Her finale opponent...

Trenton!

Narrator: A 23-year-old

executive chef from union, missouri...

I'd never been outside of arkansas or missouri.

N-never?

I saw a palm tree and I was like,

"holy [bleep]!"

narrator: Took hell's kitchen by storm...

Trenton, beautifully cooked.

Thank you, chef.

The first chef earning

their black jacket is trenton.

Well done.

Narrator: Consistently impressing chef ramsay...

The chef who got the most votes from my social media followers:

Trenton.

Narrator: With his culinary maturity

and plating finesse.

Where does that hunger come from?

I haven't worked to make money.

I've worked 'cause this is what I love.

It's a passion.

Narrator: A combination

that has made him unstoppable so far.

Tonight...

Y' all ready?

-All: Yes, chef. -Ready, ready, ready, ready?

All: Yes, chef.

We're gonna focus.

-All: Yes, chef. -Communicate.

-All: Yes, chef. -This is everything.

Narrator: They will go head-to-head

to win a life-changing dream job.

Ramsay: That doesn't look cooked to me.

-It's too salty. -Ramsay: No, no.

Megan: How long on those crab cakes?

I need it quick!

This means everything.

This is the most important

dinner service of my life.

Great job on those. Thank you.

We gotta hurry these up!

We got, guys, we gotta put some [bleep] haste.

Heard!

Tonight, I'm [bleep] walking through that door.

Absolutely.

Narrator: Who will become chef ramsay's protégé

and the head chef at gordon ramsay steak 2.0

♪

narrator: And now the conclusion

of hell's kitchen: Young guns.

(chefs cheering)

man: And we're back.

Wow, guys, hell's kitchen.

Woman: Oh, my god. I missed it.

This is absolutely a dream come true.

Like, this is insane.

You doughnuts!

I've given most of my adult life to food,

and I've always wanted to be one of the best,

and finally, I'm here.

I'm gonna push myself as hard as I can.

-Trenton: You ready to do this? -Let's do this.

I'm opening that door tomorrow.

Whoo!

First up, you get full rein?

-I'm running this [bleep]. -Good.

Last time I ran the brigade, I was pretty loud.

I was vocal.

Kiya and brynn said I was almost mean.

So what's your count now?

Megan: I'm gonna say four, trent.

Tell me a [bleep] real time.

-I need four minutes. -Trenton: Four heard.

It was just anger.

It's all in the past.

It was part of the competition.

Hopefully, they don't have some kind of animosity towards me.

My fish is trout and lobster tail.

You're taking the trout,

you're putting it in a hot pan,

searing the skin side down.

It's this thick.

I'll say it again as I've said many times.

I don't think trenton is a very good team leader.

Brynn and I hate trenton, pretty much.

Trenton: While you're basting with the butter,

you're putting a lemon on there to protect it.

Right at the end when you finish it,

you take the lemons off and then you throw

two more spoonfuls of butter on it.

Goat cheese yogurt but it's piped on there.

It should be stupid simple.

I'm gonna cut the lobster tail, curl it on top,

and then we're just gonna put the jalapeño aioli

and a few cherry tomatoes around it,

and probably a little bit of micro cilantro on there.

Brynn: Trenton has a more intense

leadership style than I do.

He's very, very particular.

-It's a lot of stuff. -[bleep] hell.

What are the chances of going over who's doing what?

We'll get there!

(tense music)

so, burrata berry salad--

I feel [bleep] weird.

Don't feel weird.

Megan is a very humble leader.

Am I doing good with this so far?

-Yeah, you're doing good. -Megan: Are you sure?

She is a little worried that we might,

you know, think she's being too bossy or something.

How are y'all feeling?

-Good. -Wonderful.

You feel confident?

-I love this too. -It's gonna be good.

You know I'm not gonna let you down, girl.

(tense music)

we believe that we will win.

Both: We believe that we will win.

Both: We believe that we...

A bunch of winners on this team.

♪

narrator: It's the young gun' last day in hell's kitchen,

and both teams are up early to prepare

for tonight's final dinner service.

Everybody shut the [bleep] up.

Let's get on the same page right now.

You feel good? You're good so far?

Megan: Okay.

We gotta really work hard. Just dig in.

How we feeling, people? Everyone still good?

Yup.

-Trenton: Kiya? -Kiya: What?

So you're almost done with that?

Yeah.

'cause we really need

to hurry up on that carrot puree.

Yep.

I understand that trenton

is an extremely strong chef.

Put that in there. It needs to be thinned out.

It needs sugar.

But it just seems like there's such a lack of respect.

It kind of makes you not want to do your best, I guess.

Work your ass off right now.

I really want to knock this out.

-Hi, chef. -Oh, hi.

Hi, chef.

Are you ready to be called that?

Yeah. I feel good.

I think I have a really solid team

and I want my team to be comfortable

and confident in what they're cooking.

-Maybe a little thicker. -Thicker?

I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass to you.

It's fine. No, it's about you.

Whatever you want.

Megan: I know each

and every one of them can cook.

I've seen them do it,

so I'm just trying to make sure

everyone's able to relax and chill a little bit

before dinner service, you know?

-Steve, are you free? -Yeah.

Sorry, but do you want to help them?

Steve: Sure.

If you don't mind.

I think meg's very nice,

which I'm not really used to seeing here in hell's kitchen.

I feel like maybe we'll need a little more.

She's, like, asking a lot, as opposed to demanding.

More?

So if you don't mind baking a little more--

I'll make a second batch. I'll bake a backup.

So I'm hoping

that she can cut off the bubbliness

for a couple hours

and just focus on the task at hand.

I'm getting nervous because there's no sense of urgency.

Nobody's talking.

Everyone's been like,

"I got it, I got it, I got it."

-but you--you need to-- -be more stern?

Absolutely, and you gotta stop asking them what they think.

Okay.

'cause if you leave it up to them--

it's summertime.

It's the last day of school for them.

They can't win, it's just you,

so if you don't motivate them to help you win,

what other motivation do they have?

So I would just suggest that you get out there...

-Absolutely. -Get them on task,

and be a chef tonight.

-Megan: Absolutely. -Okay?

Get your team in order.

-Okay, come on. -Yes, chef.

(tense music)

chef christina's absolutely right.

I'm in charge tonight, and that needs to show.

-Can I talk to you? -Yes, yes, yes.

Okay.

Megan: I'll come around, check everyone's stations,

but get a little more organized before chef gets over here.

It looks a little messy.

-Woman: Yes. -Megan: Okay.

♪

narrator: It's three hours

before the final dinner service...

All right, uh, megan, let's go.

Narrator: And chef ramsay is about to do

his last check on trenton and megan's menus

to see if they live up to his high expectations.

What's the message you are sending

to your guests this evening?

My message would just be elevated texas food.

It's a lot of texas flavors, so--

that's it. That's all we want.

Absolutely, chef.

Right, take me from the top.

Megan: We have this burrata berry salad,

truffle honey balsamic dressing over that.

Delicious.

Ramsay: Very, very good indeed.

Needs a touch of salt.

-Megan: Absolutely, chef. -Yeah.

Maybe like a citrus salt.

-Absolutely. -Yeah?

Take some, uh, zest off limes and lemons,

blitz it with some rock salt,

and dry it out in the oven a little bit.

It just needs a touch more seasoning.

Next?

Megan: This is a crab cake

with a lobster asparagus salad.

What this needs is a little bit more butter

so it doesn't go so dry.

-Yes, chef. -Ramsay: Next.

This is a chipotle honey glazed chicken.

Who's cooking the chicken?

Josie, chef.

Ramsay: Oh, my lord.

It's way, way, way overcooked.

-Yes, chef. -Way, way, way overcooked.

Yes, chef.

That's nowhere near good enough.

Megan: Yes, chef.

I respect everything chef ramsay tells me.

He's trying to bring the best out of me

and my food, so I'll take that any day.

This is a seared rib eye

with a little texas caviar on top, chef.

When you expose meat like that,

what's the one thing we do

before we top it with a garnish?

-Megan: Salt, chef. -Ramsay: Exactly that.

-Delicious. -Thank you, chef.

So this is a citrus-glazed salmon

and a little fennel orange salad.

So why would you crisp the skin beautifully

and then you turn it upside-down?

Yes, chef.

When they start turning that

over there like that,

they've now gotta negotiate

this soggy--yeah?

-Yes, chef. -Sort of rubbery skin.

Ramsay: That's like, "oh."

well, you're doing yourself an injustice.

Absolutely, chef.

And if I--if you want

flesh tied up,

take the skin off.

Yes, chef.

But then you got no protection

when you cook it.

Absolutely, chef.

So, you know, that's your choice.

Okay, we have some great flavors here.

Yes, chef.

I love the tenaciousness of this menu.

Really, really good.

-Megan: Thank you, chef. -Good job.

-Megan: Thank you, chef. -Ramsay: Trenton, tell me...

What's the clear message

that you want to send to your guests?

Grew up in arkansas.

I tried to put that influence on there.

It's honestly putting myself on a plate.

Ramsay: Great, let's go down to the appetizers, please.

We have a compressed watermelon salad

with a pistachio crumb.

Ramsay: Mm-hmm. Why have you gone so small?

If the melon is gonna be that small,

then put three bars there.

-Yes, chef. -It feels like a nice portion.

(tense music)

that tastes delicious, by the way.

Thank you, chef.

But we got more garnish than actually watermelon.

-Yes, chef. -Okay. Next.

Trenton: So we have a english pea risotto

with pan-roasted mushrooms.

Ramsay: The risotto's delicious.

Just be careful you don't over-puree it.

When there's too much puree in the risotto,

you actually can't see the rice.

-Yes, chef. -Ramsay: Okay, next?

Trenton: We have a pan-seared trout

with a shallot salad.

Big hit with the judges last night, right?

Yes, chef.

I wish we had a piece

for everybody here

sitting here 'cause--

-go, trent!

Man, this is, like, really good.

Like, wow.

You can't go down in size with an entrée.

-It's way too small. -Yes, chef.

I thought we were ready to go.

That kind of sucks.

Chef ramsay has a lot of good input

towards trenton's dishes.

Smaller fried green tomato,

and make sure the lobster's the hero.

There, the slices,

make sure it goes all the way through.

Yep.

Ramsay: We slice it for the customers, yeah?

Trenton: Yes, chef.

Not looking like a dog chew.

There's no seasoning.

Tonight, you need to make sure you've got

the best chicken breast in vegas.

Some of it is just nitpicking,

but this is the finale.

He's looking for perfection.

Ramsay: You serve that tonight,

that's gonna fly back quicker than it left the [bleep] coop.

Yeah, listen, you gotta get-- hey, look at me.

You gotta dig a little bit deeper.

Elevate, elevate, elevate.

Get a meeting and get it sorted.

Good.

Trenton: I'm a little concerned

that there's definitely

a few things that need

to be fixed.

And we're gonna do three bars

on this watermelon salad.

So one, two, three?

-Yeah, yeah. -Okay.

This is a definite big change,

but we're gonna make it happen.

The trout, we're gonna do whole filets

instead of the cut.

And we're gonna tweak, tweak, tweak

until we make

a perfect [bleep] menu.

Let's do this.

A few things need to be tightened up.

Josie, can you do another chicken?

-A little too dry. -Heard.

I'm nervous, but I'm really happy with my menu.

-Em? -Emily: Yes?

Megan: We need less garnish on this.

Emily: Got it.

Megan: At this point,

I just gotta get in the zone

and do the absolute best I can.

We need to get a move on.

Okay, here I come, here I go.

Man: Mmm.

You don't get scallops

like this often, you really don't.

Wow.

That's amazing.

Trenton: Two lobster, two scallop.

How long?

30 seconds.

Walking lobster. You got your fried greens?

-Yes, I have my fried greens. -Okay.

Let's walk.

Narrator: Trenton is also

taking charge of his brigade.

Come on, guys. Let's drive this.

-Are you ready? -Yep.

-Come on. -Scallop walking to the pass.

Narrator: And appetizers are quickly

leaving both kitchens.

-How are the scallops? -Amazing.

Diner: Wow.

Enjoy again. Buon appetito.

-How's the lobster? -This is, like, really good.

-Beautiful. -It is.

-Look at that. -You should make this at home.

(laughs)

narrator: And now both kitchens

are firing their first entrées

of the night.

Fire one trout, one chicken,

two hanger, yeah?

All: Heard, chef!

Man: I need at least six minutes.

Six minutes is good.

Kiya: Trenton, I hate you,

but I'm not gonna sabotage you or anything like that.

I'm just gonna do what I always do.

I'm gonna give it my all.

Ramsay: Standards, standards, standards, yes?

All: Yes, chef!

I would expect nothing less

from everybody else

if I were the one that

was competing to win today.

Five minutes on the hanger, one trout,

one chicken.

-Buy me five minutes, jay. -Yes, chef.

Give it a minute kickback. Six minutes, okay?

'cause I'm not sure about this chicken.

Heard. Come on, guys.

Kiya's been super consistent

all the way across the board

so I put her on meats.

Trenton: Meats are a big part

of this menu,

so I really want her drive.

Working garnish now.

Trenton: How long on entrées?

Three minutes, 30 seconds.

Trenton: Garnish up in two and a half.

-Yes. -Yes, chef.

Trenton: I put brynn on garnish

because she has a voice,

and you gotta drive if you're on garnishes,

so I'm thinking kiya and her can definitely drive together

and we're gonna finish strong.

Just let me know when you're walking, brynn.

Brynn: Heard.

(tense music)

what, 30 seconds for the garnish?

Antonio: 30 seconds, yes.

Brynn: Okay, well, I need three.

-Brynn: Walking now. -You going?

Brynn: Yes, chef.

When I said I needed three minutes,

I really [bleep] needed three minutes.

Thank you. First table, brynn, yeah?

Brynn: Yes, chef.

Kiya: Brynn, we're two minutes out

from that first entrée still.

Brynn: Heard. I walked it, so you're good.

As soon as you finish that, you turn around

and you start hollering for proteins.

Trenton: Where's proteins, guys?

Woman: Hanger.

Hanger's up down here.

Trenton: Chicken?

Chicken in two minutes, chef.

Yes, chef.

You have garnish up.

You need the proteins.

Trenton: Come on.

Hey, I got-- I got garnish on the plate.

Two minutes, chef. They won't--

I--please, if you can get it done early,

hold it.

Heard.

I need the solid three minutes.

I can't have you guys going up two minutes early.

-Heard. -Trenton: Come on, guys.

I'm super frustrated in the fact

that I look like a dumbass because brynn and antonio

are [bleep] me on getting my chicken out,

so now the game plan is just to make sure

that the chicken's cooked beautifully,

'cause I just really don't want to let

the team down at this point,

no matter how I feel about trenton.

Look at this. Come here.

-Yes, chef. -No, just look.

Okay?

So it's still pink in the middle.

Trenton: Yes, chef.
