19x06 - Metal & Marina

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on Hell's Kitchen…

-Go.
-[animals screeching]

[Mary Lou] Little piggy.

[imitates pig squealing]

Get radish.

…the chefs gathered ingredients
for an elevated Mexican food challenge.

-Aarón Sánchez-- [speaks Spanish]
-[speaks Spanish]

[narrator] While the Red Team
thought they had it in the bag…

My Mexican food is on f*cking point.

I'm gonna have to give a point
to the Blue Team.

-Thank you, Chef.
-So we're tied at - .

The best dish of the night
will break that tie.

…it all came down to…

Adam's enchilada, and I would like
to see your taco, Red Team.

[narrator] In the end,
guest judge Aarón Sánchez declared…

Adam, you should be crying tears of joy
'cause this is the best dish of the night.

[men cheering]

That's gonna take a while to get over.

[narrator] At dinner service…

Three Wellington,
one lamb, two salmon away.

Five minutes to the window garnish.

…the Red Team started off swimmingly…

-One Welly.
-[Kori] Yes, sir.

Ready to rock and roll.

We're all up in the pool.
We're all in the deep end.

I got this.

…in spite of Lauren
being hesitant to jump in.

She got her wingies on,
but she might drown.

[narrator] In the Blue kitchen…

Where am I heating up these things?

-[Josh] In that oven.
-But with what?

…Peter's confusion on garnish…

-Four minutes.
-Six minutes, yes, Chef.

-[Adam] Four minutes.
-Oh, my God!

…had his team drowning…

-All of you, Blue Team, come here.
-[all] Yes, Chef.

…prompting Chef Ramsay to ask…

Have you got the qualities
to become a head chef?

-Yes, Chef.
-No, Chef. I don't.

-You haven't?
-I don't.

Take your jacket off and f*ck off.

[narrator] Even with Peter gone…

This is a competition,
and I have to keep it moving along.

…Chef Ramsay asked both teams
for one nominee.

-Lauren, you know I love you to death.
-I agree.

When it comes to the kitchen,
that's your weak point.

[narrator] While the Red Team
came to a quick decision…

I'm stuck between Marc and Josh.

Every night, you don't like Marc now,
and he's the hothead.

…it was a familiar story on the Blue side.

-Stop cutting me off.
-I'm not cutting you off. I am talking.

-Don't do that shit. All right?
-Talk, Cody. Talk.

[narrator] At elimination,
the Red Team nominated…

Lauren.

-…and the Blue Team…
-Marc, Chef.

[narrator] But on the back
of a solid service by both teams,

Chef Ramsay decided…

Neither of you.

…keeping everyone in the running

to become the head chef
at Hell's Kitchen Lake Tahoe.

[dramatic music playing]

And now, the continuation
of Hell's Kitchen.

Now, get some rest

because the next time I see you,
we are going up a level.

-Good night.
-[all] Good night, Chef.

So, start from scratch.

-It's buried. We gotta start from scratch.
-Yep.

I'm over arguing with the Blue Team.
That turned the house against me.

Marc, if you can't chill,
the team isn't working.

I want to work well with you guys,
so that's what matters.

That starts with that.

I'm happy we're on the up and up.
At least we are.

Yeah, I know.

Ladies, you gotta throw this challenge.
It's my birthday.

-I don't feel like cleaning.
-Happy birthday!

Hey! Let's beat the shit out of him!

-Happy birthday, my man.
-So you gotta throw this one for me.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Josh!

Blue Team decided
we're just not gonna lose today.

[Cody] Happy birthday.

[phone ringing]

Hell's Kitchen Pizzeria.
This is Nikki speaking.

I need to see everybody
in the dining room, quickly, thank you.

Yes, Chef.

-That was Chef Ramsay, everybody.
-[Cody] Everyone.

[Josh] Come on! Blue Team! Go!

-[screams] I hear things.

[Ramsay] These guys
can take anything traditional

and make it rock-and-roll.

Now, just like Spandex Nation,
a great chef can take a classic dish

and transform it
into something new and exciting.

So, for today's head-to-head challenge,

you all will be modernizing
classic Italian cuisine.

So, Lauren,
who do you want to go up against?

I'm gonna go Josh.

-Josh, can you beat Lauren?
-Yes.

I got this. Lauren's got nothing
over me right now.

Plus, I got birthday luck on me right now.
I'm feeling good.

[narrator] In the first part
of today's challenge,

one chef will choose a guitar to smash.

Whoo!

[narrator] Then, they will retrieve a card
with the name of a classic Italian dish

that they and their opponent
will have to cook.

♪ Lobster ravioli! Yeah, yeah, yeah! ♪

Chef, I'm gonna take Mary Lou.

We are in different weight classes.

Me being a heavyweight,
her being a featherweight.

So, look out, Mary Lou. Big D is coming.

[squealing]

[screams]

[laughing]

Right. Give it up for one of the best

[all cheering, applauding]

-Are you ready to rock?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

Your minutes start now. Let's go, guys.

[narrator]
In today's head-to-head challenge…

-[Adam] Someone grab a bunch of flour.
-Mine.

…each chef will have minutes
to put their own unique spin

on their assigned Italian classic.

-What's this right here?
-Pasta dough.

Making tortellini from scratch
is not something that I'm used to at all.

So I'm looking around,
and I notice these wonton wrappers.

I can boil these, I can roll them,
and maybe I can use this as my advantage.

-[Cody] Chef, do you play any instruments?
-[Jason] The spatula and the tongs.

[laughs]

Everybody thinks I'm in a rock band.

That's generally the first question I get.

-[Cody] Do you always dye your hair?
-Uh, years I've had blue hair.

-Oh, f*ck. No way.
-[Amber] No way.

A, I admire the commitment,
and B, how f*cking convenient.

Go Blue Team.

-It's a lot of work being this beautiful.
-Heard, Chef.

[Jordan] I feel rushed.

Forty-five minutes for a risotto is hard,
so I'm pushing it as hard as I can.

I need this shit right now. Please cook.

Come on, risotto. Cook.

Could somebody show me
how to use this thing?

I've only used a pasta roller
maybe twice in my life,

but I'm a very quick learner.

-[Mary Lou] Biggest side first.
-Yep.

It's surprising to me that Lauren
doesn't know how to roll out pasta.

It's good when you can see
your fingers underneath.

[Jordan] She talks
about how great of a chef she is

and all this experience that she has,

but never once have you made pasta?

I don't really think that adds up.

I can't f*cking turn this shit.

-Whose risotto is this? It's burned.
-That's okay.

I'm not worried. I find that the toasting
is a nice textural component,

and flavor-wise,
it's going to be f*cking solid.

[Adam] I wouldn't use that, buddy.

-I'm gonna use it. Don't worry.
-Heard that.

-Ninety seconds to go.
-[all] Yes, Chef.

-[Nikki] I'm plating, so I can help.
-I'm plating also.

[Mary Lou] Whoo-whee!

-[Adam] Everyone's good?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

-[Nikki] Mary Lou, make it happen.
-Behind you.

[Ramsay] Five, four,
three, two, one, and stop.

Well done. Okay, good job.

To help me taste these incredible dishes,
I've enlisted some incredible judges.

They are award-winning chefs.

-Animal. Son of a g*n.
-Shut up!

And of course, Jon and Vinny.

[all cheering]

[groans] I can't f*cking wait!

[Ramsay] Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo.

It's Jon and Vinny.
I'm a little bit nervous right now.

I love these boys.

Gents, are you ready to taste?

-Absolutely, yeah.
-Good.

Let's start off with the lobster ravioli.

Josh, please. Let's go.

[narrator] In this rock-and-roll twist
on an Italian classic,

each of the judges will be scoring
the dishes from one to three guitars.

The team with the most guitars
wins the challenge.

Josh, a description of the dish.

Um, so what you have in front of you
is a lobster mousse agnolotti

with asparagus and spinach puree.

The flavors do work together,
but I do find the mousse

-to be a little bit firm for me.
-Gotcha.

I mean, for me, I think the ravioli itself
was a little bit tough.

-[Ramsay] It's chewy.
-Yeah. It's dense.

-[Ramsay] Shall we?
-Yep.

[Ramsay] Thank you. Oh, dear.

Really? Three, huh?

That's how my birthday
is going to start today?

It's not how I wanted it to go.

Not a great start.
Right. Lauren, let's go, please.

Describe the filling.

So the filling today
is just lobster meat from the tail,

ricotta cheese, a little asiago,

and I made a Gorgonzola, mushroom
and sundried tomato cream sauce.

[Vinny] So you used asiago,
Gorgonzola and ricotta?

-Yes.
-Wow.

[Lauren] I love cheese.

Usually it's a no-no
to put seafood and cheese together…

-But it worked. I'm telling you.
-[Ramsay] It did work.

-Gents, you ready?
-Yeah.

[women cheering]

Thank you. Honored. Thank you so much.

Such a relief. I pulled it off,
and I couldn't be more proud of myself.

Lauren, great start.

Next, Kori, please. Let's go.

[narrator] After a flawless score
from the Red Team,

Kori hopes to keep the momentum going
with her artichoke and veal Milanese.

[Ramsay] Interesting.

You had some of the elements here
that would've made this a great dish.

I think you got lost in your flavors.

It has a good taste,
but I wish maybe she'd fried it,

to really kind of bring in that crunch
that you get with the Milanese.

-[Ramsay] You ready?
-[both] Yep.

[Ramsay sighs]

Marc, let's go.

[narrator] Hoping to upstage Kori,
Marc steps into the limelight…

-What an honor.
-…with his…

Macadamia nut crusted
port wine-marinated veal chop Milanese.

This is moist and beautifully cooked.

Thank you, Chef.
I really appreciate your feedback.

[Ramsay] Shall we, gents?

-[men] Yeah!
-Thank you.

[narrator] With a near-perfect score,
Marc puts the Blue Team back in the game.

Next up, tortellini, please.
Let's go. Amber.

So I've prepared for you today
an asparagus and ricotta tortellini.

-Beautiful.
-Yeah.

-[Ramsay] Yep. Looks inviting.
-[Jon] Yeah. Absolutely.

Oh, wow. That is delicious. Bloody hell.

Your tortellini were beautiful.
Your broth is beautiful.

-Chef.
-I'd love to eat this in a restaurant.

Yes, Chef. Thank you very much.

-[Ramsay] Shall we, gents?
-[both] Yeah.

Boom!

Red Team, you gotta pull this back.
Um, next up, Sy.

-Please, present your tortellini.
-All righty.

I made a seafood wonton-lini.

-You mentioned the word "wonton."
-Yes, Chef.

-[Ramsay] Which is not a tortellini.
-Yes, Chef.

Did you use a wonton wrapper?

-[Syann] Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] So I made fresh pasta for you…

Why not use pasta?

[narrator] In today's
reinventing-Italian-classics challenge…

All righty.

Syann just served
her very bold take on tortellini

to James Beard award-winning chefs,
Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo.

I made a seafood wonton-lini.

Did you use a wonton wrapper?

-[Syann] Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] So I made fresh pasta for you…

Why not use pasta?

I chose to bring a little bit of flair,
a little rock and roll,

something different to it.

I don't know what I'm eating.
It tastes like melted cheese and cream.

If I'm judging you on tortellini,
there isn't any there.

Shall we, gents?

Unfortunately,
there's no zero on the paddle.

I guess using a wonton wrapper
just wasn't a good idea after all.

Next up, Nikki. Let's go.

[narrator] In the chicken saltimbocca
showdown, Nikki is the opening act

with her crispy fried mushroom-stuffed
chicken roulade.

The chicken's dry.
But I like the prosciutto crisp,

and I weirdly like the sauce.
It's a little sweet.

-[Ramsay] Shall we?
-[both] Yeah.

Thank you, Chefs.

[narrator] After Nikki gets the Red Team
back in the groove,

Adam amps up with his pan-seared spinach

and pistachio-stuffed chicken
with tagliatelle.

If you lost the pasta
and just kept the sauce with the chicken,

you would've had a dish.

-But the flavors do work together.
-Yeah.

Seasoning's on point. Absolutely on point.

-[both] Yeah.
-[Ramsay] Shall we?

Thank you.

Next up, Jordan.

[narrator] The Red Team
is down by five points.

Jordan is counting
on her reimagined risotto

to vault the women into the lead.

I turned my seafood risotto
into an arancini.

There's an exact moment
in risotto where it's perfect,

and I think you probably shot it under
just a little bit.

My risotto's a little bit undercooked.

-Heard.
-[Ramsay] Shall we?

Thank you, Chefs.

I don't agree with the judges.

If it was undercooked,
I would've continued to cook it.

That's what we do. We cook.

The whole thing's bullshit,
and that's how I feel about it.

[narrator] While Jordan's
undercooked risotto has her boiling,

Cody is hoping to impress with his.

Cody, give a description
of the dish, please.

Today we have a seafood risotto.
I did the rice northern Spain style,

toasted it until it was golden brown.
Please enjoy.

I like the seafood,
it's all cooked correct,

but the risotto, from the toasting,
makes it not texturally enjoyable.

-Heard.
-[Vinny] I agree.

I think it just might be undercooked.

[Ramsay] Shall we?

Heard.

[narrator]
Despite Cody's four out of nine,

the men still lead by five,
heading into the final round.

So, Big D, give us something

to put a smile back
on Jon and Vinny's face, please.

[narrator] Ready to turn up the tempo,

Declan presents
his cornmeal breaded chicken parmesan.

The cornmeal makes it really dry.

-[Vinny] Yeah.
-f*ck.

-[Ramsay] Shall we?
-[Jon] Yep.

Okay. Thank you.

[narrator] With the Blue Team
ahead by eight points…

Let's go, Mary Lou.
It all comes down to this.

…Mary Lou's chicken parmesan
needs a perfect score

to secure victory for the Red Team.

-[Vinny] Hi. How are you?
-I'm peachy. How are you?

-I'm good. I like your hair.
-Thanks.

It's going to have a sauce with it
that has some grilled tomatoes.

I've blended it up,
put a little touch of balsamic in there,

and just a kiss of sugar.

I'm just hoping and praying
they're gonna be like,

"Mary, this is phenomenal! Voilà!"

Insert Italian phrase here, mm-hmm.

-Interesting combination.
-Mmm.

It's a tough one.

Shall we, guys?

This is it. I could still possibly
win this thing. Please, Jesus.

-[Ramsay] Oh, dear.
-Your chicken's cooked nicely.

-You really lost me on the sugar, though.
-'Cause you can't take it out.

We can add, but we can't take it out.
Thank you, Mary Lou.

-[women applauding]
-Congratulations, Blue Team. Well done.

Great job.

Wah.

I hope you've enjoyed
that incredible feedback

by two amazing chefs
that I've respected for over a decade now.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you, guys.

Guys, let's go. Jon and Vinny.

Thank you.

Well done. Your reward today
is going to be a thrilling adventure.

You're going to be
in a very powerful muscle car

with a professional stunt driver
and drifting around the corners,

reaching speeds
of up to miles an hour.

-[Adam laughs]
-f*ck!

After your day at the racetrack,
you've got a nice classic Italian feast

laid on for you by Buca di Beppo.

They are incredible.
They do so much for the community here.

I don't want you to miss a minute.
Go get ready, yes?

[all] Yes, Chef.

-Nice win.
-Thank you, Chef.

I'm so pumped!

[Adam] It's all for you. Muscle cars.

I'm a speed freak.

I used to travel from Dublin
to Kildare, to my home,

and there, I used to take that motorway
at night when there was nobody around,

and I'd let my Ducati rip.

Muscle cars. Perfect!

Hell's Kitchen rocks!

Ladies, tonight, we will be featuring
some brand-new Italian dishes on the menu.

You will be busy making
handmade pasta from scratch.

After that, blanch, seed
and score four cases of tomatoes.

Then put together
the most amazing pesto by hand.

-Damn.
-Off you go.

I mean, it's a team effort all the time,
so, the team lost.

That's all you can say about that,
but so irritated right now, so irritated.

[Kori] Jordan, make sure
you stay out of your head today.

Get it out now, baby girl.
Get that shit out now.

I need everybody to stop talking about it.
How about that?

[Kori] Okay.

How many times did she say do the recipe?

-[Kori] Uh, nine times?
-I think she said use all the tomatoes?

This punishment is just grueling.

-How does everybody feel?
-Feel like punching somebody.

It's just extremely time-consuming,
especially at this volume.

How is it going in pesto land? [chuckles]

It's going. Getting this garlic
to break up is a bitch.

-[Kori] Smash it first.
-Yeah.

I'm gonna have forearms like Popeye
by the end.

-Holy shit, this is hard. Phew.
-[Syann] Mm-hmm.

[dramatic music plays]

[Declan] I'm salivating.
I can't believe it.

I can't wait to get the smell
of burning rubber and smoke everywhere

and lose my mind!

Oh, yeah.

-Hey, what's your name?
-[man] Yeah, Mike.

-Mike? Go f*cking mental.
-[chuckling] Yes, sir.

Keep me safe.

Ah, man, you're good, man.
This guy's a professional.

-[engine revving]
-Whoo!

-[siren wailing]
-g*n it! g*n it! g*n it!

-Oh!
-[screams, laughs]

Yeah! Whoo!

Oh, shit!

[Declan] Whoo!

Jesus, it's a beast!

What a rush. What a ride.

[laughs]

Yeah! Whoo!

[siren wailing in the distance]

[Italian folk music playing]

-What a feast.
-Oh, my God. [laughs]

This is worth the win right here, just…

[Declan] What a classy little joint.

A big family feast, eat as much
as you want. I'm delighted.

Did they think
there was, like, of us here?

-[Cody] No, they saw D.
-[mocks laughing]

-[laughs]
-They're like, "Load it up."

-[Josh] That chicken parm is amazing.
-Mmm.

[Josh] We're all enjoying this right now.
It's really jelling the team together.

We are very happy
that we won this challenge.

-Josh, from the Blue Team, happy birthday.
-Thank you.

-What a great day racing.
-Yeah.

And what a win that we got today
in Italian food. Yeah.

-Cheers!
-Whoo!

[narrator] While Josh and the Blue Team
continue to have the time of their lives,

the Red Team has just finished
their punishment and are cleaning up

before getting the kitchen prepped
for dinner service.

[Syann] Hey, babe?
Red Team, it's the top six.

Keep that in mind.

Babe, that's an accomplishment.

Win or lose,
you're not leaving here no loser.

[Jordan] For most people, Hell's Kitchen
will break you. At some point.

It's trying to drive me to drink,
and I'm almost six months sober.

This is rough.

Hey, Jordan?

Win or lose, go home, stay here,
will you do me one favor?

Will you promise me one thing?
Don't break sobriety over this?

Hey, look at me.
Don't break sobriety over this.

I know it's tough.

Look at me.

It ain't f*cking worth that shit.
You are a hell of a lot stronger.

Six months is a long time,
and I admire you for that.

-Don't you break.
-I won't--

Look at me. Look me in the eyes.
You promise me what?

-I won't break sobriety.
-Promise me?

You're telling a mama here.
I'll come and kick your ass.

I'll find you in Texas. You understand?

And I second that.

-[Kori] Ain't worth it.
-[Syann] Sure ain't.

[Kori] Let's prep together,
and then we'll…

-Yes.
-Divide and conquer?

Let me find a microplane, and I'll shave
the shit out of this parmesan.

[Kori laughs]

Who's worked garnish?
Is that enough lentils?

-No. You need more.
-I just don't know what I need.

If anyone needs anything, let me know.

-[all] Hi, Chef.
-You good?

[all] Yes, Chef.

Okay, follow me to the dining room.
All of you. Let's go.

Okay, something's gonna happen.
There's gonna be a twist of some sort.

Do me a favor. Turn around
and have a look at that kitchen.

Visualize a well-coordinated,
smooth, vibrant, exciting dinner service.

Now, turn around.

Talk about excitement.

-Let me introduce you…
-How you doing?

Oh, my God.

Legendary magicians, Penn and Teller.

They're one of the funniest duos
as magicians going around.

I love watching them.

You know what?
Chef Ramsay has teamed up with us,

and we're going to give some people
a really magical evening.

First, they'll be eating here
at Hell's Kitchen,

and then they're gonna go right over
to see our show at the Rio.

And there's no one we care about more
than our audience.

You okay there, Teller?

Teller's got a little something
in his eye here.

Just wanted to make sure he's okay.

-[screams]
-Like, "Aah!"

[Penn] He's okay, there. He's okay.

[laughs]

[Penn] Anyone can do this trick.

All you do is just take a fork,
hold a creamer like this.

Then when the time is exactly right,

you stick the fork through the paper,
you squeeze your hand,

and you scream like a Mother Hubbard.

And it looks like this.

[both scream]

[laughing]

Yeah, man.

That's a party trick
for the next party I'm at.

Serve the people
and get them over to our theater.

Thank you so much. Brilliant.

Oh, boy.

Now, I've given Penn and Teller my word

that tonight,
we will have an excellent service.

We cannot fall behind.

We're opening minutes from now.

Let's go, guys, please.

They start the show at a certain hour,
and these guests have to be there on time.

-Can we get filthy together?
-Sweat all of our f*cking makeup off.

I don't need that anyway.
My man going to love me for me.

-Marino.
-Yes, Chef?

Open Hell's Kitchen
for Italian night, please. Let's go.

Subito.

[electronic music playing]

[narrator] It's Italian night
in Hell's Kitchen,

and once again, the dining room
is filled with excited guests.

-Girls' night out.
-That's right.

I know. It's going to be awesome.

You will make your show,
or I'll drive you there.

Pinky promise. Okay.

[narrator]
And two legendary Italian restaurateurs,

Frank Pellegrino Jr. of Rao's,

and Robert Earl of Buca di Beppo.

-Thank you for the chance to spoil you.
-I love it.

-How are you? Good to see you.
-[Robert Earl] Good.

-Thank you for hosting the rewards.
-Pleasure.

[narrator] And while some
are ready to indulge

in their Hell's Kitchen favorites…

-And then for your main course?
-New York strip.

…others will enjoy Chef Ramsay's
special Italian-themed dishes.

♪ It's Italian night in Hell's Kitchen ♪

Blue Team, four covers, table one,

-Heard, Chef.
-Yes, Chef.

[Marc] Four and a half minutes on my apps.

[Amber] Four and a half minutes, heard.

So I'm on fish tonight,
and I'm super psyched.

I feel very confident
in my fish cookery skills.

-[Cody] Two lobster tails, scallop, yes?
-[Amber] Yeah, right now.

I really want to show Chef Ramsay
that I can cook fish.

Walking the scallops.

Oh! f*ck me.

I need a second.
I dropped a scallop on the floor.

f*ck, man.

Amber's looking
a little bit frazzled right now,

which I'm kind of confused about.

[Amber] I got it.

Scallops are walking.
Lobster tail is walking.

-Scallop garnish?
-[Adam] Five seconds, Chef.

-Nicely cooked, the scallops.
-Yes, Chef.

f*ck me. Hang on.

Look. Raw.

-This is all raw.
-[Josh] Yes, Chef.

-Raw. Come on, Amber, please.
-[Amber] Yes, Chef.

A lobster tail. It's very easy.

For a chef of my caliber to f*ck it up,
it's just stupid.

-Right now, our Achilles heel is fish.
-Yes, Chef.

[Amber] It's embarrassing.

But at the end of the day,
I know how to cook fish,

so I just have to get through it.

-Lobster tail. Hot behind.
-Let's go.

-Lobster is nicely cooked.
-Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Service, please.

[narrator] While Amber tries to keep
her head above water on the fish station,

over in the Red kitchen…

On order, here we go, ladies.
Four covers, table .

-Two spaghetti and lobster, two scallops.
-Yes, Chef.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Let's go.

-I need about four minutes, girls. Heard?
-Yes.

[Jordan] I'm still pissed off
about the challenge.

But that's over, this is dinner service,

and you gotta clear your head,
move forward and get over it.

Oh, shit.

I'm dropping pasta.

[Ramsay] Two scallops,
two spaghettis down, yes?

-Yes, Chef.
-Who's cooking the spaghetti?

-[Kori] I am, Chef.
-[Ramsay] How long?

-Four minutes, Chef.
-How long does the scallops take to cook?

-[Kori] Two minutes.
-So why are they in the pan?

Before you drop the scallops,
who should you be talking to?

-[Jordan] Appetizers.
-[Ramsay] Did you?

No, Chef, I did not.

Oh, Jordan. f*cking hell, man.

Holy f*ck. I do not get it.

[Kori] Hey, Jordan?

[teammates] Jordan.

[narrator] It's minutes
into dinner service.

Oh, Jordan. f*cking hell, man.

[narrator] And Jordan's premature cooking
of scallops is frustrating Chef Ramsay.

Holy f*ck. I do not get it.

[Kori] Hey, Jordan?

[teammates] Jordan.

We are big girls,
and we're not always going to win,

but when we lose,
tough, tough, tough it up!

[sniffles]

Anybody who knows me
would say once I'm pissed off,

it's hard to bring me back.

I can't let that shit happen again.

I gotta get out of my head,
show them I know how to cook on a line

and that I'm not an idiot sandwich.

[Mary Lou] Jordan, need any help?

I can shake something, move something,
twerk a little something.

Jordan's got that one eyebrow.
That one eyebrow just tells on her.

She'll be angry,
she won't look at you in your eyes.

I'm like, "Fix your face."

[Ramsay] Push it. Let's go.

-[Kori] Lobster tail's ready.
-Scallops walking.

Walking spaghetti. Chef, on your left.

-Jordan.
-Yes, Chef?

-That's how to cook scallops now, yes?
-Thank you, Chef. Yes, sir.

Whew. Thank God. Oh.

[Ramsay] Service, please. Let's go.

[narrator] With Jordan's scallops
making a strong impression on diners…

Oh, my God.

…now, a flood of appetizers
are leaving both kitchens…

So good. Incredible.

…pleasing Penn and Teller's anxious fans…

Oh, that looks great!

Let's have the momentum
with the entrées now.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Nikki] Feeling good, ladies.

…as both teams move on to entrées.

On order and fire.
Two covers, table three.

One New York strip, one Wellington.
New York strip in. Let's go.

Heard, Chef.

Josh. Josh.

Josh, get that Wellie garnish going.

Seven minutes, all right?

[Cody] Josh. Josh.

Marc, entrées, how long?

Are we on track, guys?
Josh, we're on track?

-Where's the drive, Marc?
-How long on Wellington?

I need you to drive something.
I don't need Adam holding your hands.

-Come again, Chef?
-I'm undecided you can drive anything.

Marc, Josh,
you guys better get your shit together.

Shape up or ship out.

-How long on your entrées, dude?
-I'm ready on sides.

-[Amber] Sell your sides.
-Yeah, walk the garnish.

-Right behind, garnish.
-Yeah.

All of you, get a spoon.

-Let's go! Get a spoon. Taste test.
-[Marc] Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Taste the mash.

-Salt.
-[Ramsay] Bland.

Oh, f*ck!

I didn't taste it. I just put 'em up.

Butter. Butter. Butter. Butter. Butter.

[Josh] Chef Ramsay smells the blood,
and he is a shark.

Every single thing I do,
it needs to be perfect.

-Coming down. Refire.
-[Ramsay] You taste them, Josh?

[Josh] Yes, I did, Chef.

I'm walking Wellington right now as well.

-[Ramsay] Beautifully cooked.
-[Josh] Thank God.

This birthday boy's got no quit
in him, man. I'm not giving up.

[Ramsay] Service, please.

-Nicely cooked, New York.
-Thank you, Chef!

So much better.

-Nice work.
-[grunts]

[narrator] With the Blue Team
finally managing to get on the same page,

over in the Red kitchen…

On order, four covers, going to the show.
Entrée, one lamb, two Wellington.

-Yes, Chef.
-Let's go.

…Syann and Mary Lou are trying
a personal approach on the meat station.

[Syann] How does this sear look?

Don't worry about going fast, fast, fast.
Beautiful. Make love to it.

-Okay.
-All right? Feel it.

-[Syann] Don't be rushed? Be sexy searin'?
-[Mary Lou] Don't be rushing. Mm-hmm.

-[sultry soul music plays]
-Hey. How you doing?

My name is Sy.

I'm a Leo.

What's your name? What's your sign?

-Can I pull it now?
-No. 'Cause that side don't look good.

This side look like a masterpiece.
The other side look like a tragedy.

We trying to serve masterpieces.

-How long, Wellie?
-Right now.

Walking right now, Chef.

Right behind. Right behind.

-Here you go.
-Beautiful.

Walking lamb.

Lamb to your left, Chef.

-Wait a minute.
-All of you, come here.

The lamb has to be back in the field.

Chef, this is on me.

Let's go.
Is another lamb on now? Let's go.

-There's no food coming out.
-There's no food coming out.

Just give it a little bit of love,
and we're gonna go.

-[Christina] How long, refire?
-Lamb garnish ready.

-Lamb garnish coming right now.
-[Mary Lou] Lamb. Come on.

Right behind you, Chef.

Nicely cooked, the lamb. Nicely cooked.

Oh, thank you, Chef.
Apologies, won't let it happen again.

Thank God.

[Ramsay] Service, please.

-I'm so f*cking proud of you.
-I'm proud of you. You were--

Oh, don't hug me in front of Chef!

-Don't touch me!
-Ooh! [chuckles]

[man] Really beautiful, isn't it?

[man ] Holy smokes.

[narrator] While Syann and Mary Lou
are feeling the love,

over in the Blue Kitchen…

Fire, entrée, two salmon, two orecchiette.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Amber] Yes, Chef.

-Six minutes to the window, yes?
-[all] Yes, Chef!

-[Josh] Six minutes.
-[Adam] Six minutes, heard.

-Get it on the heat.
-It's not gonna take me six minutes.

[Adam] Okay.

[Ramsay] Amber,
why is it not getting cooked, the salmon?

-[Amber] He needed six minutes, Chef.
-Yeah, but it's raw.

-That's what I said.
-Yes, Chef.

I'm looking and thinking,
"What the f*ck's going on?"

-When I tell you to drop the salmon--
-Don't talk to me.

Oh, my God.
We're not here to f*cking babysit.

[Josh] I need six minutes
on the orecchiette. Firing it now.

It's an orecchiette and a Wellington.

Yeah. I have it right here, sorry.
I didn't have it in my hand. I'm ready.

-You're saying six minutes--
-I know. It wasn't in my hand.

-It was in front of you!
-[Josh] Sorry, Chef.

-Come on, Blue Team!
-[all] Yes, Chef.

Oh, mamma mia.

Coming up right behind, Chef.

[Declan] Go with the orecchiette, Josh.

-It's in the window.
-Good man.

Well, kind of a good man.

-Kind of a little bitch.
-Son of a g*n.

[Amber] Behind you, coming down.

[Ramsay] Oh, man.

Blue Team, come here.

-Declan.
-Chef, coming now.

-Just touch the skin.
-[Adam] It's not even…

Touch the f*cking skin.

Look at the color of it.

Look at it again. Look at it again.

It's f*cking shit!

-Absolute f*cking shit!
-[Declan] Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Come on, guys! Seriously!

Penn and Teller starts at : .

-Amber, young lady, come here.
-Yes, Chef?

Yes, Chef.

-What's happening?
-I know how to cook salmon, Chef.

But what's happening?

I don't want to give you excuses.

It needs a hot pan, caramelization.
The skin's soggy, it's--

-[Amber] f*ck!
-Come on!

[Amber sniffling]

[narrator] It's minutes
into dinner service.

-What's happening?
-I know how to cook salmon, Chef.

But what's happening?

[narrator] And with Amber floundering
like a fish out of water…

[Ramsay] Come on!

…it's time for some one-on-one time
with Chef Ramsay.

I know you can do better than this.

I know how to cook salmon. [sniffles]

-Well, come on, then!
-Yes, Chef, right now.

-Give me your best!
-Yes, Chef.

I never want to disappoint Chef Ramsay,

and it's that much worse
when you know how to do something.

Like, we're talking
about six to eight minutes for a fish

that you just cook upside down
and then flip it.

I can't have that again.
I just need to focus.

Beside you.

-Salmon nicely cooked.
-[Amber] Yes, Chef! [sighs]

[Ramsay] Service, please.

-[woman] It's really good.
-[narrator] While Amber's salmon recovery

prevents her from completely sinking
the fish station,

over in the Red Kitchen…

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

Six top pickup, two orecchiette, two lamb,
two Wellington, yes?

-Yes, Chef.
-Can we do that?

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

-Mary Lou.
-Yes, Chef?

-[Ramsay] Drive it. Let's go.
-Yes, Chef!

I know all these hoes up in here
thought that I was the weakest link.

"Look at that girl and her purple hair.
I bet she can't cook."

Remember, it's not how you start,
it's how you finish. Let's finish strong.

I'm a little lioness.

And there's a whole bunch of gazelles
out there, and I'm just like--

I have the two Wellington

-whenever you are ready.
-I can make it done.

Come on, Blue Team, please.
Drive. Let's go.

-Yes, Chef!
-Let's go! Let's finish strong.

-[Amber] Behind you. Coming down.
-Walking Wellington behind.

Good. Thank you.
Service, please. Let's go.

Right behind. Right behind. Right behind.

-Coming down, Chef.
-Good job, ladies.

-[Ramsay] Nicely cooked Wellington.
-Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay] Send it, please.

-Mmm.
-There you go. I couldn't be any happier.

-Stoves off, please, yes?
-Yes, Chef.

Ciao. Thank you, ladies. Bye-bye. Ciao.

Okay.

The good news is that I just got a call
from Penn and Teller.

I made a promise, and guess what?

You both delivered.

-Thank you.
-[all] Thank you, Chef.

So, tonight, the winning team is…

-the Red Team. Well done.
-[women] Yes!

-f*ck.
-[Ramsay] Well done.

Whew! We won. That means
none of us are going the f*ck home.

I'm not going home.
I live to see another day.

Way to go, ladies.

Blue Team, head back to the dorm,

come to consensus on the two individuals

that you think should be put up
for elimination.

Get out of here.

[dramatic music playing]

[Declan] What do we do?

For me, Josh, it's you
because things kept coming back.

With Josh, they were simple mistakes.

He's like a deer in the headlights.

He just clams up
for the smallest of things.

Blowing his load
the minute something goes wrong.

Yeah, I f*cked up with some seasonings,
but that's an easy fix.

I'm just saying I did a damn good job
on that station today.

Putting more salt in sides
isn't holding the line up.

[exhales sharply] It is
'cause it came back.

I'm not ready to go home tonight.
I thought I'd be celebrating my birthday,

but I'm now realizing
that someone's going home tonight,

and it could be me.

So I have to vote for you and Amber.
I think Amber's clear.

Tonight's the first night in the entire
competition that I f*cked up.

Amber, I think
you've been more consistent.

It's hard to say
you have to go in tonight,

-but it's about tonight's service.
-[Adam] We have to go off of tonight.

I say we put up Amber and Marc.

I break down fish.
I cook fish all the time.

I just had a really f*cked up night.

I respectfully disagree
about you guys putting Josh in.

I don't think Josh is weaker than Marc.
I think Marc is weaker than Josh.

I'm a major threat. She knows it.

I mean, she was
a complete embarrassment tonight.

I'm not here to argue.

I'm over that conflict
and that negative energy.

Whether you guys like it or not,

I know I have what it takes
to win this competition.

There was multiple times
where you didn't do callbacks and froze.

[Adam] Marc's communication skills
sucked tonight.

If I was going into a job,

and someone told me
this guy was gonna be my boss,

I would f*cking walk
right outside the f*cking door

and go to the next restaurant.

I cook very well. I don't understand
what all this tension is.

I know I'm a stronger chef than a lot
of people sitting here right now,

so, you can put me up,
but that's gonna be a mistake.

You guys are gonna notice that later
and regret that.

Now that we have completed
a successful dinner service,

we can never go back.

-Agreed?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

Adam, Blue Team's first nominee and why?

Our first nominee, Chef, is Amber.

The fish got the best of her tonight,
and we couldn't get over it.

Okay. And the Blue Team's second nominee?

Chef, our second nominee is…

-Josh.
-Josh. Why?

Couldn't get his seasonings down tonight.
He seemed a little flustered.

We're going off
of tonight's dinner service

and tonight's dinner service alone.

[Ramsay] Okay.
Josh, Amber, step forward, please.

-Amber.
-Yes, Chef?

Why should you stay?

I'm a very strong chef,
and I'm not ready to go home.

I have a lot more to show you.

-What happened?
-I really know how to cook fish.

I just was letting
too many things get to my head.

Josh. Rough night.

Yes, Chef.

Tell me why you think
you should stay.

I definitely have the drive,

and I have the knowledge and the strength
to keep pushing forward.

People can depend on me,
and I know how to be a leader.

Chefs need to be resilient.

Every day we have to put up with something
that makes us stronger.

I saw no strength tonight.

Very difficult decision.
Two talented individuals.

My decision is…

[suspenseful music building]

Amber.

[Amber] Oh, my God.

[Ramsay] Young lady.

-Yes, Chef?
-Get back in line.

[Amber sobbing]

Josh, I've been waiting
since day one of this competition

for you to use your voice.

I cannot wait any longer.

Give me your jacket.

[sighs] Good night.

[Josh] I've never failed before
in my life, so today does hurt.

I'm disappointed in myself

because Chef Ramsay
tried to pull something out of me,

and I just didn't have it.

This sucks 'cause, out of all days,
it is my th birthday,

and I'll be spending it alone.

Now, tonight, both teams gave me success.

Do not go back.

-Got it?
-[all] Yes, Chef.

-Good night.
-Good night, Chef.

Thank you, Chef.

[Amber] So f*cked up.

I never want to have this feeling again.

I can't have any more mistakes.

Moving forward, I have to really bring
my A-game every second, every day,

and make it known
that I am a force to be reckoned with.

Ugh, man. That was like Old Yeller.

It just reminds me of a sad movie
where the dog dies.

But this is a competition,
and no matter what, I plan on winning.

-It was his birthday too. I felt bad.
-[Jordan] I forgot it was his birthday.

Happy birthday, Josh. I'm so sorry,
but that's the name of the game.

Only one's gonna be standing.
Now we're down to .

Every day, people drop like flies,
and it could be anyone.

[exhales sharply]

[Ramsay] Tonight, when Josh blows out
the candles on his birthday cake,

he should wish for one thing.

A stronger voice.

[narrator] Next time…

Surf and turf
has been a Vegas staple for decades.

[Syann] I love surf and turf.

Lobster, a little piece of steak,

everything that you would need
to make love.

[narrator] A classic date-night dish…

Ooh-ooh!

…sparks the feels in Hell's Kitchen…

She's good with her hands. I like it.

It's all about the fingers.

…and sends one chef on the prowl.

Ooh, I see ass. Hello.

Can I get y'all number?
Can I cook for you on Wednesday night?

[sighs] I'm getting hungry.

[narrator] It's a racy episode
you won't want to miss.

Hey, big booty. How you doing?
I missed you.

Big Black women love me
for some reason. I don't know.

[all] Yas!

Hell's Kitchen, yas!
