The chefs wake up bright and early to meet with Chef Ramsay.
Chef Ramsay: Good morning, everyone!
Everyone: Good morning, chef!
Chef Ramsay: As you all know, today is Easter. So for today’s challenge... I thought it would be only fitting for you all to have an egg hunt. I’ve hidden 15 eggs around this room. Each egg will either be red or blue. I want you all to only look for eggs that correspond to your team’s color. Once you find an egg, return back to where you are right now and wait for your teammates to find eggs of their own. The first team to find their eggs wins the egg hunt.
The chefs then begin the special Hell’s Kitchen egg hunt. It’s a close match, but the Blue Team finds their eggs first, since they have one less egg. The Red Team then finishes finding their eggs.
Chef Ramsay: Congratulations to the Blue Team! You have won...
...
...
...
...
...
Absolutely nothing.
The chefs all look like they’re not surprised.
Chef Ramsay: That wasn’t the challenge! Did you think it would be that easy? Here’s what we’re REALLY doing. We’re going to be working with...
...
...
...
...
...
colors.
In each of your eggs are different colored yolks. You’ll all be making me some Easter dishes in which I will allow you to use one protein of your choice. Then, whatever color your yolk is will be the ONLY color your other ingredients can be. So crack your eggs open and see what color your yolk is!
Here are the colors of everyone’s yolks.
Red: Jake
Blue: Pierre and Nick
Yellow: Jay and Matt
Green: Lincoln and Ben
Red: Kourtney and Europe
Blue: Ocean and Nevra
Yellow: Sugar May and Maurice
Green: Janet and Candy
Chef Ramsay: The team member who had the same color yolk as you is who you’ll be working with for this challenge. Jake, you’ll be working by yourself. For the blue yolks, I’ll also allow you to use purple ingredients. For red and yellow, I will also allow you to use orange ingredients. For green... well, you can only use green. Remember, you can pick any protein to cook regardless of the color, and afterward you must only use ingredients of the color you’ve been given.
The chefs then cook their meals. Once again, Chef Ramsay observed everyone cooperation scores.
Red: Jake-5 (since he’s working alone)
Blue: Pierre and Nick-5
Yellow: Jay and Matt-3
Green: Lincoln and Ben-1
Red: Kourtney and Europe-1
Blue: Ocean and Nevra-5
Yellow: Sugar May and Maurice-5
Green: Janet and Candy-1
After the timer hits 0, the chefs finish their dishes and Chef Ramsay introduces 2 special guest judges to judge the chef’s dishes. They and Chef Ramsay will all vote for their favorite, and the dish that gets the most votes will win the round.
Up first is the Battle of the Red Ingredients.
Jake’s dish is judged first.
Judge Consensus: The dish is stunning, and it’s delicious. The flavors work very well.
Kourtney and Europe’s dish is judged next.
Judge Consensus: It tastes great... but it doesn’t really look appetizing.
Up next, Chef Ramsay calls for the battle of the blue dishes.
Up first is Pierre and Nick.
Judge Consensus: It’s unusual... the flavors are strange. But it doesn’t taste horrible.
Next is Ocean and Nevra’s dish.
Judge Consensus: The flavors just don’t work. It looks great, but the flavors aren’t working.
And for the votes...
Chef Ramsay: Blue Team
Guest Judge 1: Red Team
Guest Judge 2: Blue Team
The Blue Team now has 2 points. The best the Red Team can do is tie. If the Blue Team scores another point, they win.
Next is the battle of the Yellow dishes.
Up first is Jay and Matt.
Judge Consensus: It’s pretty boring. The protein is slightly undercooked... and it tastes extremely bland.
Up next is Sugar May and Maurice.
Judge Consensus: It’s got finesse. It tastes delicious, it looks stunning... it’s almost perfect. Almost.
The judges then vote.
Chef Ramsay: Red Team
Guest Judge 1: Red Team
Guest Judge 2: Red Team
The Red Team is now on the board. If they can score a point in this final round, they’ll force a tie. If they don’t score, the Blue Team wins.
It’s time for the battle of the Green Dishes.
Up first is Lincoln and Ben.
Judge Consensus: It looks extremely messy... but it actually tastes delicious. Very poor execution, though.
Up next is Janet and Candy.
Judge Consensus: This is the worst dish yet. It looks extremely unappetizing... and it is. It’s raw, and the flavors don’t work at all.
The judges know who they’re voting for.
Chef Ramsay: Blue Team
Guest Judge 1: Blue Team
Guest Judge 2: Blue Team
The Blue Team has won the challenge with a score of 3-1!
Chef Ramsay: Blue Team, well done! I have got a great reward for you today. I’ve arranged for you all to have the most wonderful Easter lunch...
...
...
...
...
...
in Las Vegas! I’m taking you all to one of my restaurants in Las Vegas to have lunch. It sounds so good... I’ll be joining you! Get changed, your flight leaves in an hour!
The Blue Team then goes to their dorms to get changed.
Chef Ramsay: Red Team... that’s 3 challenge losses in a row. And the punishments aren’t getting any easier. I’ve arranged for you all to have another egg hunt. But these eggs aren’t hidden... you’ll be collecting them fresh from the chicken coup. I’ve arranged for a bus to take you to a local farm in an hour. Go up to the dorms, you don’t have long.
The men then enjoy their day at Chef Ramsay’s Las Vegas restaurant while the women and Maurice spend the day at a farm collecting eggs, getting a few scrapes from a couple violent chickens.
-Dinner Service-
It’s now time for Hell’s Kitchen to begin its special dinner service.
In addition to the regular menu, Chef Ramsay has added a couple egg made appetizers.
Here are everyone’s stations for the night.
Meat Station: Pierre
Fish Station: Jay and Nick
Garnish Station: Jake and Lincoln
Appetizer Station: Ben and Matt
Meat Station: Nevra and Candy
Fish Station: Europe and Janet
Garnish Station: Maurice and Ocean
Appetizer Station: Sugar May and Kourtney
Pierre is the only person on the meat station, and he is being given a huge responsibility.
Dinner service has now begun.
The first mistake of the night comes from the Red Kitchen.
Chef Ramsay: Hey, ALL OF YOU! Who cooked this omelette?
Sugar May: I did, chef.
Chef Ramsay: It’s stone cold! You can’t make a fucking omelette?!
Sugar May: Yes I can, chef!
Chef Ramsay: Then give me an omelette that’s fucking cooked right! And YOU! Did you make this risotto?
Kourtney: Yes, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Just taste it. What is the one thing it needs?
Kourtney: Salt, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Come on, let’s not start fucking up before we’ve even sent anything out! Get it together!
Kourtney and Sugar May are able to bounce back from their mistakes... but in the Blue Kitchen, one chef has sent in an undercooked omelette three times.
Ben: I’m sorry, chef.
Chef Ramsay: This is the THIRD one in a row! If you don’t get it right soon, then you can take your jacket off and FUCK OFF! It’s a fucking OMELETTE, not rocket science!!!
Ben then attempts to cook his omelette again. He sends his next one up to the pass, and Chef Ramsay sees if it’s acceptable.
Chef Ramsay: BEN!
Ben: Yes chef?
...
...
...
...
...
This omelette is perfection! This is what I want to see all the time!
Ben: Yes, chef! Thank you chef!
After Ben’s recovery, the appetizers come out smoothly, and the time comes for entrees.
Pierre has one communication issue on his station... but he is able to recover and he runs it smoothly.
Maurice sends in one of his garnishes too early... his first mistake of the competition... but he bounces back.
Nick sends in overcooked and unseated scallops... but he recovers.
Ocean ends up sending way too many garnishes before they’re needed... but she recovers as well.
And finally, Janet screws up her salmon by sending it raw several times... but she also bounces back.
After that... both teams complete dinner service.
Chef Ramsay meets with them both to discuss the winning team.
Chef Ramsay: Finally, a respectable service from both kitchens! There are a few bumps, but we managed to get through it. However... there was one kitchen where more people kept making mistakes. The other only had a few minor mistakes, coming from only a few people. That is why the winning team tonight...
...
...
...
...
...
Is the Blue Team. Red Team, most of you kept making several mistakes that I couldn’t let slide. I need you to go up to the dorms, and decide on 2 individuals you believe you’d be better off without.
The Red Team then goes to the dorms to discuss who should go up. They discuss that Janet and Ocean had the biggest screw ups of the night, and they should be going up. Ocean accepts it and prepares to fight for her place, but Janet tries to fight it.
Janet says Maurice should go up instead of her because she and Ocean kept sending the garnishes up too early. The rest of the team, however, strongly disagrees with her reasoning.
-Elimination-
The Red Team meets with Chef Ramsay for elimination while the Blue Team watches.
Chef Ramsay: Blue Team, well done.
Blue Team: Thank you, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Janet. Red Team’s first nominee and why?
Janet: Our first nominee is Ocean, chef. She kept making and sending her garnishes too early.
Chef Ramsay: That’s true... okay, second nominee and why?
Janet: Our second nominee is...
...
...
...
...
...
Maurice, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Wh-what? I’m sorry, Maurice?
Janet: Yes, chef. He sank with Ocean on the garnish station tonight.
Chef Ramsay looks baffled and surprised.
Sugar May: Uh, Chef? We didn’t agree to nominate Maurice at all. We actually nominated Ocean and Janet.
Chef Ramsay: What? So you haven’t made a decision?
Europe: No, chef! We made a decision, Ocean and Janet! Janet’s just trying to lie so she doesn’t have to go up!
Chef Ramsay: Janet, is this true?
Janet: No, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Ocean, who are the two nominees?
Ocean: Janet and myself, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Maurice, who are the 2 nominees?
Maurice: Janet and Ocean, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Kourtney?
Kourtney: Ocean and Janet, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Nevra?
Nevra: Ocean and Janet, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Sugar May?
Sugar May: Ocean and Janet, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Europe?
Europe: Ocean and Janet, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Candy?
Candy: Ocean and Janet, chef.
Chef Ramsay stares at Janet in disbelief.
Chef Ramsay: Janet... are you trying to bullshit me?
Janet stares worriedly at Chef Ramsay before answering.
Janet: No chef, I’d never—
Chef Ramsay: Then why are you lying to my fucking face?!
Janet: Because I still wanna be here! I don’t—
Chef Ramsay: So, you think if you went up with Ocean you’d go home? Do you not have confidence in yourself?
Janet is beginning to cry.
Janet: No chef I...
Chef Ramsay: This is what I see. I see a woman who has been inconsistent since day 1, has no confidence in her abilities, and has always been blaming others for her mistakes! I see a woman who doesn’t want to admit she fucked up!
Janet: Chef... chef I—
Chef Ramsay: All you’ve done is made my decision 100 times easier.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Janet, give me your jacket!
A saddened Janet walks over to Chef Ramsay, taking her jacket off.
Chef Ramsay: Young lady, let me make something clear. I will NOT tolerate anyone lying to my face IN THIS KITCHEN. Whatever chance you had of staying, you ruined for yourself. Goodnight.
Janet then walks out of Hell’s Kitchen, bawling.
Chef Ramsay: Well... minus everything I just saw, tonight was your best service from both kitchens. However, there’s still plenty of room to improve. I’m expecting you both to go upward from here, is that understood?
Everyone: Yes chef!
Chef Ramsay: Goodnight.
The chefs then head off to their dorms for bed.
As Chef Ramsay walks up to his office, his voice narrates the scene.
“Janet thought she could stay in Hell’s Kitchen by telling a lie. But if she thinks she’s ready to be a head chef, the only person she’s lying to is herself.”
Chef Ramsay hangs Janet’s jacket, and her picture burns up.
