The chefs were challenged to deliver a surprise breakfast service for a group of Los Angeles nurses, being told that the first team to finish all of their tickets would win the challenge. While it was close, the Blue Team was ultimately slowed down by Bart and Carter, leading to the Red Teamโs eighth consecutive challenge win.
In Dinner Service, both kitchens were a disaster. Kenia screwed up the Blue Teamโs appetizers, and Marge and Zach sunk on the Red Teamโs entrees. Chef Ramsay eventually ejected both kitchens from service after Archie sent in a raw lamb while Carter was isolating himself, and Bella sending in a lamb not even on the ticket.
At elimination, the Red Team nominated Bella and Zach while the Blue Team nominated Kenia and Carter. In the end, it was Carter who was forced to watch his dream of becoming the Head Chef at La Repas Rose in Los Angeles and winning Hellโs Kitchen go up in flames.
However, Chef Ramsay was not finished. He then took Bellaโs jacket, and announced that she would be joining the Blue Team, keeping her chance of becoming Head Chef at La Repas Rose alive.
The chefs wake up bright and early for their next challenge. They see Chef Ramsay standing in front of a two tables, red and blue, full of silver domes.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: One thing we need to be able to do as chefs is adapt and work with what weโre given. In todayโs challenge, I want to see how well you all are at adapting. At the start of the challenge, I will unveil the first dome on each teamโs table, and reveal six stunning proteins. The first chef to grab each protein must then use it as the star of the dish. Then, at certain intervals during your cooking time, Iโll unveil the remaining domes. Underneath each are six stunning ingredients, and each chef will have to grab one of them and incorporate them somehow into their dish. No two chefs on the same team should be using the same ingredients. When your time is up, I will taste each dish head to head and will award points to the best dish in each pairing. The team with the most points wins the challenge. You have 45 minutes, and I will be unveiling the proteinsโฆ NOW!

The six proteins given to each team are monkfish, bass, swordfish, veal, pork and turkey. The chefs each grab one of these proteins and attempt to incorporate the ingredients they end up with into their dishes. Eventually, theyโre all ready to present to Chef Ramsay.
โญ๏ธ First: The Battle of the Monkfish (Thammy vs. Bella)
Bella is desperate to make a good first impression on her team, but has never worked with monkfish before. Overall, her dish ends up a mess. While she was not confident in her dish at all, Thammy was overconfident and believed she would make a perfect monkfish dish due to working with it on several occasionsโฆ however, she ends up completely overcooking it.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Both of those dishes were appalling. Iโm not giving points to either of you. Absolutely disgusting.

โญ๏ธ Next: The Battle of the Bass (Beth vs. Bart)
Bethโs dish looks slightly clumsy, but is praised for having flavor. Bartโs dish is slightly undercooked and has an overwhelming amount of seasoning.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Bartโฆ way too much fucking salt on there. Itโs like youโre trying to put the bass back into the ocean. The point goes to Beth, well done.

โญ๏ธ Next: The Battle of the Swordfish (Ty vs. Rico)
Ty was very confident with his ingredients while Rico worked with a couple ingredients he had never used before. Despite his confidence, Tyโs dish turns out to be raw. Ricoโs on the other hand, turns out to be a decent effort.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Ty, your swordfish was absolutely raw. Underwhelming. Rico, you put forth an excellent effort and youโve earned a point for your team, well done.

โญ๏ธ Next: The Battle of the Veal (Zach vs. Kenia)
Zach is not confident in his ingredients while Kenia gets everything she wants for her dish. However, both of their dishes end up being raw.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: You both have served me raw veal, absolutely embarrassing. Iโm not giving either of you points for this bullshit, so fuck off back in line.
โญ๏ธ Next: The Battle of the Pork (Marge vs. Archie)
Both Marge and Archie have never worked with their ingredients before, and are not very confident. Archieโs dish matches up to his expectations and is a mess, however Marge manage to throw off a surprisingly delicious dish.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Wowโฆ Marge, this is an absolutely stunning dish. You claim that you havenโt worked with these ingredients before, but youโve incorporated them into the dish so well. Youโve earned a point for your team, congratulations.

The Red Team now needs one more point to seal the win. The Blue Team needs a point just to tie and stay in the game.
โญ๏ธ Last: The Battle of the Turkey (Allen vs. Tommy)
Tommy was happy with the ingredients he ended up with while Allen was not happy at all. Tommyโs dish is praised for having good incorporation with his ingredients, but criticized for presentation. While Allenโs looks a little bizarre, Chef Ramsay praises it for having flavor.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Tough one. Two great effortsโฆ however the point will have to go toโฆ

โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Rightโฆ we have a tie! To break the tie, Iโd like to retaste the best dish from each team. Marge, bring up your pork dish. Tommy, bring back your turkey dish.
Marge and Tommy bring up their dishes to Chef Ramsay. The chef who has cooked the best dish of the entire challenge will win it for their team.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Rightโฆ two great dishes. However, there is one that has a slight edgeโฆ and that dish isโฆ

The pork. Marge, you just won it for your team. Congratulations!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Red Team! Once again, well done on winning the challenge! Your reward today is going to take you to great heightsโฆ because youโre going to be flying in hot air balloons! Iโve arranged for you all to meet with some professionals out in a distant field. Youโll get to see the city of Los Angeles from high up in the sky!
The Red Team looks thrilled hearing about their reward.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Tommyโฆ great dish, but as I said, the presentation needed work. If only it had been presented better, the Blue Team wouldโve finally gotten to leave Hellโs Kitchen for a glorious reward. But yet again, youโve lost. For your punishment today, Iโve called in a new shipment of glasses for Hellโs Kitchen to use. Youโll all need to gently move the packages into the dining room, unbox them, polish them to perfection, and place them whenever Sous Chef Pierre tells you too. And keep in mind itโs all glass, so youโll need to be VERY careful.
The Blue Team looks annoyed that theyโll have to spend the day polishing drinking glasses.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Keniaโฆ you still have that punishment pass. Will you go ballooning or will you be polishing?
๐ต Kenia: Iโve always been scared of heights, chef. Iโll be polishing.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: A girl like you scared of heights? Wow, who would have thought. Alright, go get changed Red Team!
The Red Team enjoys their day hot air ballooning while the Blue Team spends the day polishing drinking glasses.
Chef Ramsay has assigned the Chefs to these stations tonight.

Bella and Zach both start off appetizers poorly. They each send in a soupy risotto. As they both attempt to rectify their mistakes, Chef Ramsay decides to give them both a wake up call.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Hey! Bella, Zach! Come here! You both have sent me MORE soupy risotto. Is that up to my standards?
๐ต Bella: No, chef.
๐ด Zach: No, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: You both were on the chopping block last night, and trust meโฆ it will NOT look good for either of you if I find you up there again tonight! You both are single handedly running your teamโs appetizer stations, I expect you both to be more organized! GET A GRIP!
After Chef Ramsayโs wake up call, Zach and Bella manage to bounce back and get appetizers out to the diners.
During the start of entrees, Rico and Archie have a communication issue on the timing of their dishes up to the pass. Kenia also slows down the blue kitchen when she sends up two servings of unseared scallops.
However, the Red Kitchen seems to be having bigger issues on the meat station.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Beth! Come here! You just served me 2 blue NY strips!
๐ด Beth: Sorry, chef!
๐ด Allen: Beth, what the fuck? You sent them up already? I fucking told you I needed 6 more minutes on my lamb! Theyโre going to the same table, we need to send them at the same time!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Oh my godโฆ you two arenโt communicating?!
๐ด Beth: We will, chef!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: You two better wake up, and quick!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Whereโs the garnish?! Iโve got no garnish!
๐ด Marge: I need 8 minutes on my garnishes!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: 8 MINUTES?! Young lady, I have a salmon and a halibut dying on the pass right now!
๐ด Marge: Ty and Thammy did not tell me they were bringing them up to the pass!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: What? Oh my god, Ty! Thammy! Come here! Did either of you tell Marge that you were bringing your dishes up to the pass?
๐ด Ty: Yes, chef!
๐ด Thammy: Yes I did, chef!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Someone is not telling the truth!
๐ด Ty: Iโm pretty sure I did.
๐ด Marge: I donโt remember you telling me!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: We have dying fish at the pass anyway, so we need to refire the whole table now. You ALL need to start communicating? Is that clear?!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: What a bizarre service. Yes, we managed to complete it, but Iโm pretty sure we all know that we can do much better. You can do better than that, canโt you?
๐ด๐ต Everyone: Yes, chef!

The Blue Team. Simply because despite the mistakes, you managed to have decent communication throughout service. Red Teamโฆ we had a lot of communication issues tonight, and itโs clear we need to trim the fat. Head up to the dorms, have a chat, and come up with 2 names for elimination. Get out of here.
The Red Team heads upstairs to discuss who should go up. They start by addressing whether or not Ty and Thammy told Marge that they were sending their fish up to the pass, to which Marge admits that she may have been wrong. After she admits this, Allen and Zach say theyโre putting up Marge and Beth, with Beth going up due to her performance on meat. Beth then argues that Zach should go up in her place since he held back appetizers tonight. Marge agrees and says her nominees are Beth and Zach, with Thammy agreeing with her. Beth then says sheโs voting for Marge and Zach, to which Ty agrees, thinking Zach is becoming a weak link on the team. Beth, Marge and Zach have 4 votes each.
Chef Ramsay meets with the Red Team for elimination while the Blue Team watches from the side.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Ty, has the Red Team reached a decision?
๐ด Ty: No, chef. We have not.
Chef Ramsay suddenly looks baffled and annoyed.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: No?
๐ด Ty: Chef, we are split between 3 different pairs. The same 3 people received 4 votes each and no one will budge.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: A 3 way tie? Fuck meโฆ the Red Teamโs THREE nominees then?
๐ด Ty: Beth, Marge and Zach, chef. We feel they were the chefs that ultimately threw off our communication tonight.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Okayโฆ Beth, Marge and Zach, all three of you step forward.
Beth, Marge and Zach step forward to face Chef Ramsay.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Bethโฆ are you a team player?
๐ด Beth: I am absolutely a team player, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: So why couldnโt you work with Allen on the meat station tonight?
๐ด Beth: I had an off night, chef. That was it. Going forward, I promise you I will be more vocal with my team and I will make my presence known. I learn from my mistakes and the one thing Iโve learned tonight is that I need to be working with my team at all times.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Yeahโฆ that and donโt send me blue steaks.
๐ด Beth: Yes, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Margeโฆ what happened tonight?
๐ด Marge: The fish station was held back by me, tonight. I obviously couldโve communicated a lot better. It was my fault and I apologize, chef.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Why should you stay in Hellโs Kitchen?
๐ด Marge: Chef, I think the fact that weโre halfway through this competition and THIS is the first time Iโve been officially nominated for elimination speaks volumes to how consistent and talented Iโve been up to this point. Tonight was definitely my worst service, absolutely, but I truly think I have a lot of potential. I think itโd be a real shame if I walked out those doors tonight.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Zachโฆ you told me last night you wouldnโt be up here again, and yet here you areโฆ have you given up?
๐ด Zach: No, chef. Not even close.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Why do you think you should stay in Hellโs Kitchen?
๐ด Zach: This morning you said that a chef needs to be able to adapt. I feel that right now I am adapting and getting better. I did make mistakes tonight, but I bounced back. Iโve shown you that I can adapt. Therefore I feel that I can be your Head Chef.
Chef Ramsay takes a moment to think about who to eliminate.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: These decisions never get easier, let me tell you. The person leaving Hellโs Kitchen isโฆ
Zach walks up to Chef Ramsay and takes his jacket off.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Young manโฆ you can cook, but you are not ready to be a leader. You talk the big game, but you need to be able to back up what youโre saying. And I am personally not feeling it.
๐ด Zach: Understood. Thank you for the opportunity, chef.
Zach hands his jacket to Chef Ramsay, shakes his hand, and leaves Hellโs Kitchen.

Beth and Marge rejoin their team.
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Inside those kitchens, you need to have more than just skill and cooking ability. You need to be able to communicate with your fellow chefs. Communication is key. Work as a team. Is that clear?
๐ด๐ต Everyone: Yes, chef!
โช๏ธ Chef Ramsay: Get out of here.
The chefs then head upstairs for bed. As Chef Ramsay walks upstairs to his office, he narrates a comment on Zachโs elimination.
โZach had the drive to take him this far, but once I sensed his drive disappearing, I knew it was time for him to drive back to his Texas Roadhouse.โ
Chef Ramsay hangs Zachโs jacket, and his picture burns up.
