[narrator] Previously on
Hell's Kitchen: Young g*ns[/i]...[/i]

My daughter, Megan Jane Ramsay.
Come in here.


[narrator] Chef Ramsay's[/i]
oldest daughter joined him...[/i]

It is Megan Ramsay's birthday... today.

[narrator] ...for a challenge[/i]
where the chefs had to create dishes[/i]

for her st birthday party.

I think Megan knows good food.

This is gonna be a tough one.

[narrator] On the Red Team,[/i]
Brynn received high praise...[/i]

It's done perfectly.

[narrator] ...while Sam's dish[/i]
left more to be desired.[/i]

-[slide whistle]
-Looks like a Scooby Snack!


[laughter]

[narrator] On the Blue Team...[/i]

It's a sesame crusted salmon Niçoise.

[narrator] ...Steve's attempt to dazzle Chef[/i]
Ramsay's daughter missed the mark...[/i]

It's hard to get to the stuff underneath.

There is a lot going on.

[narrator] But the rest of his team[/i]
picked up the slack...[/i]

That's cooked perfectly.
Not too chewy and not too soft.


[narrator] ...awarding them their[/i]
first-ever challenge win.[/i]

[Kevin] I didn't know
what rewards felt like.


Dream come true.

[narrator] At Megan's st birthday party...[/i]

[cheers] Happy birthday!

[narrator] ...Antonio got the Blue Team[/i]
off to a rocky start on apps.[/i]

[Megan] God damn!

Antonio, the pasta's not cooked!

[narrator] But thanks[/i]
to Victoria and Megan...[/i]

[Megan] Your other pan?

[narrator] ...they were able[/i]
to get back on track...[/i]

-How long?
-[Antonio] Right now.


[Ramsay] Go, please.

[narrator] ...and finish[/i]
an almost flawless dinner service.[/i]

-[Ramsay] Well done.
-[Megan] These are good.


[narrator] On the Red Team...[/i]

[Ramsay] Oh, come on!

[narrator] ...Payton's effort[/i]
was far from perfect.[/i]

-Who cooked the noodles?
-Yes, Chef. I did.


[narrator] While Sam and Josie...[/i]

-Come here!
-[narrator]
...failed on the meat station...[/i]

Are you f*cking serious?

[narrator] ...leaving Chef Ramsay fed up.[/i]

All of you, get out!

They're in trouble now.

[narrator] Red Team nominated...[/i]

-Sam.
-[/i][narrator] ...and...[/i]

-Payton.
-[/i][narrator] ...and...[/i]

Josie.

[narrator] Chef Ramsay eliminated...[/i]

Payton.

[narrator] ...ending his dream[/i]
of becoming head chef[/i]

at Gordon Ramsay's Steak
at Paris Las Vegas.


And now the continuation
of
Hell's Kitchen.[/i]

Get out of here.

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


-Trenton?
-Yes, Chef?


Today was the first real insight
to the true Trenton.


I think deep down inside, young man,

you are hitting your stride.

Yes, Chef. I'm f*cking
pushing as hard as I can.


Where does that hunger come from?

Everybody in my family's
always doubted me...


-Why?
-...but this has just been my passion.


Because everybody in my family goes
to school to be big shot, other things,


and I haven't worked to make money.

This is what I love.

-It's a passion.
-I mean, just in the past nine months,


I was graced
with an executive chef position,


where I've finally got
to break out and do my own thing.


Um, here's the good news:
you're learning quickly.


You're picking it up.
You seem to be adapting.


Yes, absolutely.

Keep that up in the Blue Team especially.

-Get some rest.
-Absolutely. Thank you so much.


I really want to talk to Chef.

Me too. Can we, like, eavesdrop?

[all] Hey!

[Emily] What did he say to you?
Tell us everything.


My entire life, I've just spent
with my head down working in kitchens.


I wanted to learn as much as I can.

So just to get
that gratification was phenomenal,


'cause I have so much more...
so much more to show.


[Emily] Was it, like, emotional?

[Trenton] Oh, it was a little bit.
[laughter]


[rousing music]

Before I came here,
I had this really huge eye infection,


and I looked like
the Hunchback of Notre Dame.


It was like... This eye was like...

-It was so bad.
-[laughing]


I've never had a college experience,

so dorm life is kind of fun.

-Hmm, doesn't it feel good?
-This does.


[Josie laughs]

Sharing a bedroom is awesome.

It's like having, like,
the dopest chef girl g*ng around.


New day, new day,[/i]
It's gonna be a great day[/i]

Not gonna get set up[/i]
For elimination[/i]

He's gonna tell someone else[/i]
To f*ck off[/i]

[both laugh]

[dramatic music]

[intriguing music]

-[Trenton] Good morning, Chef.
-[Antonio] Good morning, Chef.


Blue Team. Red Team.

Get dressed with these uniforms.

[Brynn] Oh, shit. Red Team!

[Kevin] Blue Team, get it together.

There's blue and red jerseys
and athletic shorts


and really cute tennis shoes
that I hope I get to keep.


It looks like we're gonna be
playing some soccer today.


[upbeat music]

-Look at Chef.
-[Brynn] Is Chef Ramsay on the pitch?


-He's playing with them?
-Yeah, he is.


Chef Ramsay looks so cute
in his soccer outfit.


It's so weird seeing him
not in a chef coat.


[Ramsay] Line up quick! Come on, guys.

Soccer players are pretty cute.

None of them are as cute as Chef Ramsay.

-[Ramsay] Good morning!
-[all] Good morning, Chef!


-[Ramsay] How we feeling?
-[all] Good, Chef.


Welcome to Cashman Field,

home of the amazing
Las Vegas Lights soccer club.


Hands up who's big soccer fans?

Everybody, I hope. Come on, Steve.

[laughter]

-Really?
-This isn't my sport.


[scoffs] What is your sport?

Um, bowling. I like bowling.

-[Ramsay] Bowling?
-[Steve] Is that a sport?


Today, trust me, it's gonna be soccer.

Now, I've been thinking overnight,

and this morning,
we need to even up the teams.


-[Emily] Uh-oh.
-[Josie] Ooh!


-[Brynn] Ooh!
-Uh, anybody in the blue?


Any volunteers?

Thank you. Anybody else?

No? Wait there, madam. I didn't say go.

Oh, sorry. Go, Blue Team.

[crickets chirping]

Anybody else?

Emily and Victoria want to go
back and reunite with the girls.


I think somebody, honestly,
should have a new experience.


[tense music]

-Antonio.
-[laughter]


-You are joining the Red Team.
-[Antonio] Yes, Chef.


-Yay, Antonio!

Come over. Change over.

Let's go. Hurry up.

[Sam] Having Antonio back
on my team, it sucks.


He gets in the way and almost
seems as if he has an ego of some sort.


Kind of makes me a little nervous.

Now, football or soccer,

as many people like to call it in America,

is the most international sport
on the planet.


And for your next challenge,

you'll be cooking
with six different international cuisines.


Gents?

Chinese cuisine.

French cuisine.

Greek cuisine.

Italian cuisine.

Thai cuisine.

[Kevin] I'm not too big
on international cuisine.


[Ramsay] And number six, Mexican cuisine.

[Kevin] Wait a minute.

-Mexico.
-[Mariachi music]


LA boy, grew up eating tacos, burritos.

I need Mexico.

Now today, when I say "Go,"

decide who's cooking what,
and the Las Vegas Lights,


they'll be kicking
red and blue soccer balls


with the name of
the ingredients your direction.


[Keona] Lord, have f*cking mercy.

And then skillfully,

you kick the ball into the net...

[Brynn] Holy shit!

[Ramsay] ...of the cuisine
you'd like to use.


Once you score a goal,

it must be used in that dish.

[all] Yes, Chef.

Have a meeting between each other

and decide who's cooking
which international cuisine.


-[Antonio] Mexicano.
-[Brynn] Thai.


-Chinese.
-Italian.


-Greek.
-French.


-Chinese.
-Dope.


[Emily] Everybody's got one?

-[Victoria] French? France.
-Italy.


-[Steve] China.
-[Kevin] Mexico.


-Greece.
-[Emily] Thai.


-Cool.
-We got it, guys.


[Megan] Make sure we work together.

Together with the ingredients.

[Megan] Not taking
without running it by each other.


-Yeah, yeah.
-Heard.


You got five minutes.

-f*ck!
-Oh, my God.


Now head out!

[Megan] Oh, my gosh.

I'm so afraid of just taking a ball
to the face, but you know what?


At the same time,

I just gotta get
the ingredients that I need.


[Ramsay] On your mark, get set.

-[blows whistle]
-Head's up!


[narrator] For the first part[/i]
of today's challenge,[/i]

the chefs will kick balls
with ingredients labeled on them


into six nets
representing international cuisine.


-[Megan] Chicken goes to Italy?
-[Emily] Yeah.


[narrator] They can score[/i]
as many goals as they want,[/i]

but they must use all the
ingredients that they manage to score.


[screaming]

[Sam] This is wild.

All I'm looking at are soccer balls
just dropping from the air left and right.


-[Kiya] Sam, go left!
-[Emily] Go right!


[Sam] I am stoked to run around
like a nut on this field


and just trying to collect my ingredients.

Hey! Well done, Sam.

[Keona] Antonio, pork chop!

[Antonio] I got Mexican.

When I hear pork,
I'm going to it. I'm going.


I'm kicking in.

[Ramsay] Let's go... Oh!

It looks like he's ice skating out there.

[Antonio] Need to get my endurance
up, lose a little... ten, pounds,


but give me a solid week,
I'll be on the field with y'all.


[awkward music]

-Goal!
-[crowd cheering]


Three minutes to go!

-[Brynn screams]
-Go, Brynn!


-Yes!
-[clappping]


[Emily] Ah!

Get it in, Emily! Come on!

[Trenton] Do I get lamb?
Lamb rack. Lamb rack.


So I get Greece,
and I come across lamb rack.


Oh, I need lamb rack.

Oh!

I suck at soccer, so...

Damn it.

This is not, like,
obviously my strong suit.


-[man] There you go!
-[Trenton] There we go.


-[Keona screams]
-[Trenton] As far as I understand...


-[Victoria] Damn it.
-All of us are not good at many sports.


Ricotta.

Oh, really?

Ninety seconds. Come on! Let's go!

-Come on, guys.
-[clapping]


Help each other out, guys. Let's go.

-[Victoria] Tomatillos!
-[Kevin] Yo, tomatillos!


Tomatillos. I'll take tomatillos.

I think that's really important
that we communicate really well


and help each other out.

Mozzarella's going to Italy.

I know Megan's got Italian,

and I was trying
to get her all the cheeses.


[Megan] Hey! Kev, what are you putting in?

[Kevin] God.

[Megan] What... was that?

[Kevin] Prosciutto.

-You don't want it?
-I already got pancetta.


[Megan] It's hurting me

because I'm creating that dish,
so I need to have a plan,


and if, all of a sudden,
all these other ingredients show up,


that throws my plan off.

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

-[blows whistle]
-[man screams]


That one came out last.

Right, well done.

[tense music]

Love the energy.

What you did confirm today is you're

a talented team of chefs,
not soccer players.


[laughter]

I'll see you back in the kitchen.

-[blows whistle]
-Let's go!


[narrator] Now that the chefs[/i]
have all their ingredients,[/i]

they will have minutes
to cook their international dishes.


-[ominous music]
-[Christina] Who's got what?


-[Brynn] Thailand.
-[Sam] France.


-[Megan] Italy.
-[Antonio] Mexico.


[narrator] But one chef is disappointed[/i]
with the ingredients they ended up with.[/i]

[Megan] There's, like, no pasta, right?

Definitely wish I kicked pasta
on a soccer ball.


I was too busy screaming at Kevin.

[Jason] Do you have any ideas?

[Megan] A cake with Italian sausage.

What are you gonna make
a cake out of? A sausage cake?


-f*ck.
-[laughter]


I mean...

I dunno what's in your head.

I've never heard of a sausage cake.

-But hey.
-I haven't either.


[Ramsay] Red Team, minutes.

[all] Yes, Chef.

[Keona] Put this with the yogurt.

Uh...

f*ck.

I haven't really ever
constructed a Greek dish.


[Kiya] Yeah,
it's up to your own discretion.


I mean, do I look Greek?

[Ramsay] Three and a half minutes.

-Yes, Chef.
-Make it count.


[Megan] Chef,
you think this'd be weird to serve in?


[Santos] I think a cake
that's the size of Chicago,


you need finesse.

You don't want this big, clunky...

Thank you, Chef.

Guys, remember, taste
everything you're doing.


Heard.

[Santos] Let's go, guys.
We gotta pick up the pace.


[Kevin] Oh, my God.

I'm looking at the texture of my steak,

and as soon I start feeling it,

I'm like, "Wait. This is raw."

f*ck, sorry, sorry.

[Ramsay] Ninety seconds to go, guys.

[Kevin] It's still raw.

Wow.

[Brynn] Starting plating?

[Sam] About to, yes.

[Keona] Plates. Plates. Plates.
Plates. Plates.


[Ramsay] Forty-five seconds to go.

[Kevin sighs]

[dramatic music]

[flames whoosh]

[dramatic music]

[narrator] It's Chef Ramsay's[/i]
international cuisine challenge,[/i]

and with time running short...

[Ramsay] Ninety seconds to go, guys.

[Kevin] It's still raw.

[narrator] ...Kevin's Mexican dish[/i]
is in trouble.[/i]

[Ramsay] Forty-five seconds to go.

[Kevin] I think I can make it work.

You know, that's what
this whole challenge is about,


trying to get creative
and trying to push your limits,


so time is not my friend,
but I'm not gonna let that bring me down.


[Keona] Whoo!

[Ramsay] Ten,

nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four...

three, two, one, and stop.

Well done.

Give yourselves a round of applause.

-[Keona] Smells good.
-[Ramsay] Wow.


[ominous music]

Guess what I have for the winning team?

-[Brynn] A reward.
-[Antonio] A trophy?


The first ever season Young[/i]
g*ns[/i] trophy. Who wants it?

[all] Yes, Chef.

[Emily] Blue Team.

[Ramsay] Right, let's place that.
There we go.


Now, our official travel partner,
Allegiant,


has flown in a very
special VIP guest judge.


He is a multi-James-Beard award winner.

-[Emily] Wow.
-He's earned not one,


but two Michelin stars.

-[Megan] Ooh.
-The owner and head chef of...


-Providence.
-[Keona gasps]


Michael Cimarusti.

[applause]

-[Keona] Whoo!
-[Antonio] Yeah!


-[Ramsay] Good to see you.
-[Michael] Good to see you.


-Congratulations on the James Beard.
-Thank you.


Getting this opportunity
to put my food out


in front of a James Beard recipient

and a two Michelin Star chef is fantastic.

This is exactly
what I want within my career.


Chef Michael is gonna judge
each dish head to head.


Let's start off with the cuisine
from China, please. Let's go.


-You got it.
-Come on.


[Ramsay] Steve and Josie, let's go.

I'm feeling quite
a bit of pressure going up against Steve.


He's a pretty well-respected cook so far.

Steve, do you want to describe
your dish first to Chef, please?


I've got kind of a take on Peking duck,

so it's an orange-glazed duck breast

over a duck fat fried rice
with a sort of veg stir fry.


The duck is cooked nicely.
The flavors are good.


It's a little bit sweet for my taste.

It would benefit from maybe
a little bit of acid


to balance the sweetness.

[Ramsay] Josie, explain to Chef.

[Josie] Chef, this is a Chinese breakfast.

It's a comforting sticky rice with chicken

and a spring veggie stir fry.

Wow. It has, like, a lot of soy sauce.

-Oh. Okay.
-[Michael] Um...


Damn. Did you taste that?

[Josie] I did, Chef.

However, after I put in the slurry

and I had had chicken juice, so I didn't...

I probably reduced it too far.

[laughing] I can't believe
you wouldn't try your own food.


It was 'cause it has chicken.

Chef, the point goes
to the Red Team or Blue Team?


Gotta go with the Blue Team.

-[Ramsay] Blue Team.
-Thank you.


-Thank you, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Well done.


-Scuba Steve.
-[Steve] First point.


Like, that's what I do. I get points.

Next up, the battle
of the Mexican cuisine, please. Let's go.


[applause]

Antonio and Kevin.

My dad's side is all Mexican.

My family back in San Antonio
is all Mexican,


so definitely ready to k*ll this thing.

Describe your dish to Chef, please.

It is a jack-stuffed pork chop
seasoned with cumin and oregano,


covered with a warm salsa,
reduced chorizo.


Wow. That's a good dish.

-Thank you.
-[Michael] You've taken


traditional Mexican flavors
and\ sort of, like, used an elevated cut


and turned it
into something pretty special.


Kevin, describe your dish to Chef.

Chef, I made a flank steak,

and on top, being from LA,
I grew up with street corn,


so I thought I'd put some grilled corn

and just put it on top of my flank steak.

No spices, though.

No spices on the flank.

I mean if you want to talk
about Mexican flavors, like,


it's gotta be more present.

-[Kevin] Yes.
-Season.


-Yes, Chef.
-Chef, Red Team or Blue Team?


Gotta go with Antonio.
That was a k*ller dish, man.


-Thanks.
-[Michael] Good job.


-Good job.
-[Antonio] Thanks.


-[Ramsay] Well done. Best dish.
-Thank you.


-[Ramsay] Good.
-Red is definitely looking good on me.


I am so happy to be part
of the Red Team right now.


[narrator] As Antonio ties up the score,[/i]

Sam and Victoria are next with
their takes on French cuisine.


[Victoria] This is a lobster
and
herbes de Provence[/i] risotto

with seared scallops.

The scallops are cooked well
and they're well-seasoned,


but that's not really a risotto.

If you call it risotto,
it's gotta be risotto.


[narrator] Now Sam is hoping[/i]
his fillet paired[/i]

with a red wine veal sauce impresses.

Flavor's good.
You've cooked this steak, like, perfectly.


-Gotta go red.
-[Ramsay] Red. Well done.


-Thank you.
-[Ramsay] Good job.


-Good job.
-[/i][narrator] The Red Team[/i] now in front,[/i]

up next is...

Thai cuisine. Let's go.

-Come on, Em.
-Come on, Em.


[Sam] Let's go, Brynn.

[narrator] And Emily's sweet potato curry[/i]
with chicken...[/i]

-[Michael] A lot of flavor.
-Thank you.


It's funny.
I've never had sweet potato curry.


[narrator] ...impresses Chef Michael,[/i]

while Brynn's Thai soup
with pan-seared sea bass...


[Michael] You weren't able

to coax all the flavor
out of those ingredients.


[narrator] ...makes it an easy decision.[/i]

-Gotta go with Emily.
-Thank you.


-[Ramsay] Em, well done.
-[applause]


[narrator] And as Kiya and Megan[/i]
go to battle with their Italian dishes...[/i]

[Kiya] What you have here
is a grilled flank steak


with some prosciutto-wrapped asparagus.

Wow, that's good.

-Thank you.
-[Michael] Wow.


[narrator] While Kiya's dish[/i]
has truly delivered,[/i]

it's now time for the debut
of Megan's sausage cake.


So is that a dish that you've seen before?

Uh, no.

It's, um, you know,
a little odd, a little unusual,


but it's Italian enough.

It comes across, like, being pretty heavy

-and pretty dense.
-Okay.


[Ramsay] Point going to...

-Gotta go to Kiya.
-Kiya, congrats. Well done.


-Thank you.
-[Ramsay] Kiya, good job. - .


-Really tasty. Wow.
-[applause]


[narrator] The Red Team[/i]
is clinging to a one-point lead,[/i]

and they're now looking to Keona

to secure the victory by beating Trenton.

Right. Trenton, describe
your dish first to Chef.


I have a beautiful rack of lamb

that I rubbed down
with an herb feta yogurt


with a charred eggplant
and sesame seed purée.


[Michael] Mmm.

-That's really good.
-Thank you, Chef.


[Michael] Eggplant puree's great.
What I tasted was really good.


I'm on top of the world.

I'm looking at Keona's dish,

and I'm sure her lamb is overcooked.

Keona, describe your dish to Chef.

It's a grilled lamb chop

with a baba ghanoush purée underneath.

Oh, God.

I'm super nervous
about the cook of that lamb,


and I'm freaking the f*ck out.

[dramatic music]

[Michael] Cooked beautifully.

In the wheelhouse
of what Greek cuisine should be.


-So good.
-Thank you.


-Two good lamb dishes.
-Really good.


Red Team, you're in the lead three to two.

If you get this point,
Trenton, it's a tie,


or, Chef, is it a home run

and the point goes to Keona
and the Red Team?


I don't think there's a choice here.

[Knife slices]

[dramatic music]

[narrator]
Two-Michelin-star-chef Michael Cimarusti,[/i]

has just tasted Trenton's...

-That's really good.
-Thank you, Chef.


[narrator] ...and Keona's Greek dishes.[/i]

[Michael] Cooked beautifully.

In the wheelhouse
of what Greek cuisine should be.


-So good.
-Thank you.


[narrator] In the last round of[/i]
the international cuisine challenge...[/i]

-Two good lamb dishes.
-Really good.


[Ramsay] Chef, the point goes
to the Red Team or Blue Team?


I don't think there's a choice here.

[dramatic music]

Gotta go to Keona.

-Ah!
-[Michael] That was amazing.


[Ramsay] Good job, Trenton. Well done.

-Keona, well done.
-[both] Thanks.


I can't believe, I'm so proud of myself.

I could cry right now.

Like, this is why I came here.

Chef Ramsay's happy. Chef Michael's happy.

Like, what more could a girl want?

All of you,
join me in thanking this incredible chef,


-Michael Cimarusti.
-Thank you.


[all] Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay] As always, man.
Good to see you. Take care.


-Thank you.
-Take care. Thanks, Chef.


Wow. Great comments.

Keona, come up here.

I've got something for you. Wow.

-[Antonio] The trophy!
-[Sam] Yeah!


-[Kiya] Yes, Ke.
-[Josie] Yeah, girl.


You clinched it
for your team, girl. Well done.


-Congrats. Well done.
-[all cheering]


Thank you, Chef.

Red Team, well done.

Now it's time to kick back

and enjoy your very relaxing...

pool party!

-[all] Whoo!
-[Ramsay] That's right.


At the fabulous Flamingo
Hotel Casino, Las Vegas.


We were saying we wanted
to go to that pool.


Also, there's another surprise.

I've arranged a one-time-only...

special performance for you all poolside.

Get out. Well done.

[all] Thank you, Chef.

[Antonio] Yes! Good job, guys. Red squad.

[all cheering]

No one feels as good
as I do right now. No one.


[Josie] That felt like an orgasm!

This feels better than sex.

[Keona] That was amazing. Rrr!

Blue Team, thanks to you,

the entire front of house staff
have got today off.


Ohh.

You'll be prepping the dining
room ahead of tonight's service.


That means ironing
and steaming all the tablecloths,


polishing the silverware,
polishing the glasses.


You know how meticulous Marino is, right?

-Yes, Chef.
-So please do a good job. Let's go.


[Emily] Thank you, Chef.

[curious music]

[Marino] You got stuck with me today.

So what we need to do is polish glasses,

a couple of the silverware,
all the base plates.


Then we have to do tablecloth

but also all of their uniforms
as well. Have fun.


[all] Thank you, Marino.

[curious music continues]

[Megan] Adios.[/i]

[Antonio] Bye-bye.

-Bye, traitor.
-[Antonio] I'm not a traitor!


-[Emily] Bye, traitor.
-I didn't choose this!


-You did. You chose that life.
-You're sure enjoying it, huh?


I want Antonio to be like, "Nah, man.
I'll stay behind with my team."


[Kevin] You know, like,
I don't think we need him.


[laughing] Damn!

[Trenton] Kevin can say that,

but I kind of feel like Blue Team
would be stronger without Kevin.


[Keona] Bikini time!

[upbeat music]

-Look at that.
-Oh my God!


[Antonio] This is a good welcome.

Any time away from Hell's Kitchen is good,

so I'm enjoying every moment I can.

We just closed down a pool
at The Flamingo.


Like, this ain't never gonna happen again.

[deep male voice] ♪ Oh, oh[/i]

-[Antonio] All right.
-I'm Jade.


I'm gonna be taking care of you today.

Let me know if you need anything.
Congrats.


[Josie] Thank you.

Oh, oh[/i]

-[laughter]
-[Antonio] Thank you.


[Jade] One more.
Let me know if you need anything.


Perfect. Thank you.

That waitress got more cakes
than Betty Crocker,


but, um, I got a girlfriend at home.

I'm not trying to get in trouble.

Eyes. Eyes forward. Looking at the ground.

-[Sam] Thank you.
-[Kiya] Thank you. We appreciate it.


You're welcome.

If this is what it's like being on Red,

I ain't going back to Blue.

[awkward music]

Uh, guys, bad news.

In the dining room,
we don't work sitting down.


[awkward music continues]

[whispers] So much fun.

Marino's definitely riding us pretty hard.

-How long does it take?
-We're trying, Marino.


This looks ironed, right?

Yeah.

Is that your first one, Kev?

This shit is not easy.

Kevin is not helpful.
He's not helping himself.


I really give up on that. This sucks, man.

Kevin doesn't give a shit.

[Kevin] I'm not helping you.

[rhythmic record scratching]

[upbeat music]

-That's Piff. Yo, that's Piff.
-[Brynn screams]


[Brynn] Oh my God!

I heard there's some free catering.

Piff the Magic Dragon has arrived...

-Yes!
-[Piff] Good evening.


Do a little magic trick for you.

-You ready?
-[all] Yes.


Piff the Magic Dragon is f*cking sweet.

You're gonna take the pen.
Write your name on the money, Antonio.


-[Antonio] All of it?
-[Piff] No. Listen.


How do you survive in the kitchen?

Piff is like a really cool magician

and Chef Ramsay had a baby.

You take the pen. Push it through.

If it goes through,
means it's a genuine dollar bill.


Hold tight. One, two, three,
all the way back out.


What just happened?

I talked you through it.

I pulled the money out of a bill,
and it was fine.


That's what happened.

[Josie] Piff has an English accent

and this really witty way about him.

This is when you're gonna write your name.

You're gonna put the card
back in the deck, just there.


It really is insulting humor,
which is awesome.


Once I've done this,
you peel off the lid of the can.


Go for it, Brynn, the lid of the can.
You're pushing it. It's a lid.


You're pushing down on a lid.

Imagine it was a lid.

-Oh!
-[laughs]


[funky music]

[Antonio] No, no, no.

Oh my God!

Oh, ladies and gentlemen,
it's Brynn's playing card!


[laughter]

Oh, yes!

Hands down, best day ever
in Hell's Kitchen so far.


[all] One, two, three!

[dramatic music]

[narrator] With the Red Team[/i]
back from their poolside reward...[/i]

Yeah, this is a whole different...
Whole different kitchen over here.


It's amazing to me how different it is.

[Trenton] Let's go.
Let's rock and roll, y'all. Blue!


[narrator] ...and Blue Team finished[/i]
with their front-of-house punishment...[/i]

-[Megan] New, new Blue.
-[Emily] Every night.


-[Trenton] Here we go.
-[narrator]
Both teams are preparing[/i]

for tonight's dinner service.

-[Ramsay] We good?
-[Kevin] Yes.


-Pans ready?
-Yes.


They are ready. Yes. Good.

[dramatic music]

-Marino?
-Si,[/i] Chef?

-Open Hell's Kitchen, please. Let's go.
-[/i]Subito.[/i]

[energetic music]

[narrator] Once again,[/i]
Hell's Kitchen opens[/i]

to another packed dining room
filled with excitement...


I would like the pan-roasted
New York strip steak, man.


[narrator] And orders[/i]
are already being placed...[/i]

-Go, Blue Team.
-Blue.


[narrator] ...with diners eager to get[/i]
a taste of Chef Ramsay's famous menu.[/i]

Do you see all the different
sauces that are in those sauce bottles?


-I can't wait to try.
-I wanna know what they are.


Yes, they look so good.

[Ramsay] Okay, Blue Team,
let's go. Strong, yes?


-[all] Yes.
-Consistency, name of the game.


-[all] Yes.
-Four covers, table two.


-Two risotto. Two scallops. Heard?
-[all] Yes, Chef!


[Ramsay] Okay. Let's go.

[Emily] Two risotto,
about six minutes, guys.


I'm feeling great because
I've done appetizers before.


[Kevin] How many more on the risottos?

-About five more minutes.
-Five more minutes. Heard.


[Emily] And Kevin is on fish.

We totally have faith in him
to run the fish station.


[Ramsay] How long, please, Emily?

-About : , Chef.
-[Ramsay] Three . Let's go.


Three minutes,
I'm dropping my scallops, okay?


I have not been on any station

by myself other than garnish,

and when you get put
onto a station by yourself


it's... spotlight is on you.

[Emily]
Three minutes on that risotto, guys.


[Kevin] Heard. Dropping scallops.

[Kevin] Tonight could be one

that I can show Chef Ramsay that

wherever he puts me, I can execute.

Hey, how long on the risotto?

-Ready to walk.
-Ready.


Walking my scallops. Heard?

[Victoria] Want me to walk?

Yeah. You can take 'em?

-Yep.
-Heard.


-Ready, Kev?
-Yes. Walking.


[Emily] Walking.
Risotto on your left, Chef.


[Kevin] Two lobster tails here.

[tense music]

Blue Team, come here,
all of you. Come here.


[dramatic music]

-Ready, Kev?
-Yes, walking.


[Emily] Walking.
Risotto on your left, Chef.


[Kevin] Two lobster tails right here.

[tense music]

Blue Team, come here,
all of you. Come here.


That's you as well, Kevin.

Look at the lobster.

-It's raw, Chef.
-Raw.


-Get it back in there. Let's go!
-[all] Yes, Chef!


[narrator] While the Blue Team's hope[/i]
of getting off to a hot start is fizzled[/i]

due to Kevin's cold lobster...

You gotta put it on the heat, dude.

...some special guests
have arrived to dine at the chef's tables.


This is awesome. Oh, man.

[narrator]
Former UFC light heavyweight champion[/i]

and hall-of-famer Forrest Griffin

will be dining in the red kitchen...

-Good evening.
-[Forrest] Hey.


-How are you? See you.
-We're great, man.


Welcome to the madhouse.

[narrator] ...and UFC president Dana White[/i]
and his guests[/i]

will be dining in the blue kitchen.

-Good to see you.
-You too.


Good to see you. Thank you.

[Ramsay] Thank you so much.

It's not a team sport.

Like, there's only one winner
for the money.


-Sure.
-So, I mean, you're working together,


but, eh, are you working together?

Right.

[Ramsay] Red Team, here we go.

Four covers, table .
Consistency name of the game.


[all] Yes, Chef.

-Two scallops. Two risotto. Heard?
-[all] Yes.


[Ramsay] Good. Let's go.

[Antonio]
My first dinner service with the Red Team.


There's only two rules here:

One, don't f*ck up.

Two, cook your ass off. Let's cook.

-Lobster is down?
-Lobster's down.


You good? Perfect.

Four and a half, two risottos.

Keep it on the f*cking deck!

Stop cooking in midair, young man.

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] You're slowing the kitchen down.


Antonio, he talks a lot.
It's time to back his shit up.


-Walking in seconds on risottos.
-[Sam] Running it.


Coming right by.

[dramatic music]

-Risotto, please. How long?
-Back check. One minute on risotto.


Your timing's shit.

-Is this ready?
- seconds, Chef.


[Ramsay] Let's go, then.

[Christina] Walk those tails.

Tails coming up right now.

-[Ramsay] Beautifully cooked.
-[Antonio] Yes, Chef.


I'm slowly starting
to get more confident in Antonio.


-[Josie] Let's go, Red Team!
-[Antonio] Let's go.


[Santos] How long on that lobster?

I need three...
Like, two more minutes, Chef.


[Emily] You got it, Kev.

I didn't start off good. It was my fault.

I should have felt the lobster
tail before I took it out.


Now I just really have to push even harder

and I have to bounce right back.

Come on, Kevin, please.
Get a f*cking grip, will you?


They're still f*cking raw. f*ck me.

Blue Team, come here.

f*ck me.

f*cking hell, man. f*ck off.

Look at that. Someone tell Kevin
what's wrong with that?


-It's raw.
-[Trenton] It's raw.


-It's raw.
-Yes, Chef.


It's not seconds under.
It's f*cking raw.


We start the whole f*cking
table again, okay?


Let's go.

[Megan] Guys, guys. Circle up real quick.

We have the one and only Kevin,

who's driving us straight into the ground.

Oh, come on, Kevin, please.
Don't do this to me, please.


I don't know where his head is,

I don't know where his mind's at,

but he is just a f*cking
train wreck tonight.


[Kevin] Ready to walk.

-[Trenton] You sure?
-[Kevin] Yes, I'm sure.


This is f*cking ready.

This is ready. I'm % it's ready.

[Steve] I'll walk it.

-Sure that's done?
-Yes, that's done.


[Steve] Walking lobster!

Good lobster.

[Ramsay] What the f*ck?

Blue Team, come here!

-[Kevin] f*ck me.
-Come on, Kevin! Wake up, guys!


Oh, my God.

They have to sit in there
for a minute, Kev.


[Ramsay] It's our first table, Blue Team!

Get it back in, Kevin. Come on!

[Emily] It's okay, Kev.
Let's go. Let's go.


Did you put olive oil on the lobsters...

Yes, I f*cking put olive oil
on the lobsters.


[Dana] Fill up on bread, guys.
I think we're screwed.


[Ramsay] Come on, Kevin.
You can do better.


-[Brynn] Pizzas are out.
-[Keona] Garnish is gonna walk in one.


[Brynn] Sam, you heard?

-Yes. Heard. Sorry. Yes.
-You're good.


Two risotto, two scallops, two pizza, yes?

Pizza's been finished.
I need the risotto and scallops, yes?


[all] Yes. Heard, Chef.

Walking risotto in ten seconds.

[Brynn] Walking pizzas to the pass now.

[Keona] Heard.

-[Brynn] Sam, how long on scallops?
-Now.


[Brynn] Go ahead.

Left.

[tense music]

[Antonio] Risotto's right behind
you to your right, Chef.


-Red Team, come here.
-[Josie] Yes, Chef.


[Ramsay] Second table, just look at that.

I begged for consistency.

What is that? Red Team.

-What is that?
-[Antonio] It's shit. It's shit.


Start it over. Come on, go.

Just start it over.

[Keona] Have a pan. Come on.

Let's go. Hot, hot pan.

I got you. I got it. I got it.

They all need to be even.

If they're not, start it over.

Okay. All right.

Sam gets a little frazzled
when he's under pressure.


Perfect, perfect, perfect.

I'm just kind of babysitting
to protect my team


and to protect us from getting
kicked the f*ck out once again.


You're good. You're good. Next time, just...

-I'll get that right.
-We'll make sure it's perfect.


I got it. Yep.

I'm very energetic,

and it gets me in a lot of trouble

just because, you know,
I'm typically moving faster


than my mind's actually going even.

[Ramsay] Scallops, please.

[tense music]

-[Ramsay] Nicely cooked, the scallops.
-[Keona] Thank you, Chef.


[Ramsay] Service, please.

[narrator] Thanks to Keona,[/i]

appetizers are flowing
out of the red kitchen


and into the mouths
of some very happy diners...


The flavor's phenomenal.

It tastes amazing, actually.

[narrator] While diners on the blue side[/i]

are starting to get restless.

-We'll leave.
-They're...


No, don't leave. Don't leave yet.

Please don't, and if you leave,
take me with you.


Lobster, how long?

-Three more minutes.
-Please, let's get it together.


[Emily] Yes, Chef!

Dude, I really... I don't want to send
'em out, if they're not ready, Victoria.


Look, for that first f*cking ticket,
I want to get 'em out.


These lobster tails have f*cked me up.

I... eh...

I don't know what it is,

but I can't get them out of my head.

[Ramsay echoes] It's raw.[/i]

[Kevin] I'm hearing, "Raw lobster tails."

"Raw lobster tails. Raw lobster tails."

[Ramsay echoing] It's raw.[/i]
It's raw. It's f*cking raw.[/i]

It's f*cking with me.

[Emily] How long... how long, Kev?

-Kev?
-Walking lobster tails.


-Let me see them first.
-Touch it.


-Okay.
-Ready?


[Victoria] Walking with that lobster.

Walking those two lobster tails.

[dramatic music]

-[Ramsay] Kevin? Come here!
-Yes, Chef?


[tense music]

[extinguisher sounds]

[dramatic music]

[narrator] It's almost an hour[/i]
into dinner service...[/i]

Walking those two lobster tails.

[narrator] ...Blue Team hopes Kevin[/i]

has finally nailed the lobster
for their first table.


-[Ramsay] Kevin?
-Yes?


[Ramsay] Come here!

It's a poached lobster tail, okay?
That's it, okay?


-Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef.
-Four times. Wake up. Let's go.


You got it, Kev. Nice bounce back.

[Ramsay] Let's go.

Let's kick some Red Team ass, huh?

-[Ramsay] Service.
-[narrator]
With Kevin's recovery...[/i]

[Marino] Buon appetito[/i].
Thank you for your patience.

[narrator] ...appetizers have finally[/i]
started to leave the blue kitchen...[/i]

-Really good.
-[man] Really good.


[narrator] ...while the red kitchen[/i]
has already moved on to their first...[/i]

Entrée. Two salmon,
New York strip, Wellington. Heard?


-[all] Heard.
-[Ramsay] Good. Nice and loud.


[Josie] Wellington just went in.

Let's focus on getting
this ticket out all at the same time.


So tonight I definitely did
step up on leading the team.


I can walk with the
garnish in four minutes.


[Josie] How much time to rest those?

[Kiya] Just two minutes.

Chefs now have confidence in me

and they've seen my skill set,
so I can't go down from here.


I've just got to keep moving up.

I came here to win this shit.

Two salmon. Two strip.
Two Wellington. Let's walk it.


Wait! I gotta go with the garnish first.

-Y'all have to talk to me.
-[Josie] All right.


Get in the flow. We'll talk to you more.

-I am.
-[Kiya] How long


-on the garnish?
-One minute.


[Josie] Keona, you need to pay attention

because we just called the times

and now you're gonna be late on garnish,

so now we have to drag our shit for you.

-And has garnish walked?
-Garnish has not walked.


-[Josie] How long you need, garnish?
-I said a minute.


I just don't understand why no one

is f*cking listening to me.

[Antonio] How long on garnish?

If y'all ask me that again... [laughs]

Please. Please.

I don't need...

I don't need it right now.

I'm in the middle of something.

It's gonna be at the window
in a f*cking minute, okay?


[Antonio] How long on garnish?
How long do you need?


[Keona] Walking with
your garnish right now.


Salmon garnish walking.

-[Ramsay] Six top, let's go.
-[Kiya] Behind you.


[tense music]

[Ramsay] Service, please.

-[Brynn] How are you doing?
-I'm good.


[Brynn] I just wanted to ask.

-Thanks for checking on me.
-[Brynn] Of course, girl.


I'm making sure I'm on my shit.

They have to listen to me.
I know I got this.


Okay, signori[/i] had the Wellington.

Wow.

It's good.

Entrée. Two salmon.
Two lamb. Two Wellington.


-[all] Heard, Chef!
-[Trenton] The lamb?


-Yep.
-Pan for it.


-[Ramsay] Lamb in, I take it?
-[Trenton] Yes.


-Lamb is working.
-[Ramsay] Thank you.


[Steve] We got a rocky start going,

but me and Trenton are on meat,

and we're two powerhouses.

We're gonna k*ll it.

So go ahead and throw on in another lamb.

[Trenton] I'mma throw the lamb in.

[Steve] No, an extra,

-like a backup order.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.


[Steve] Kevin, how long you need
on your fish?


[Kevin] Four minutes.

Heard. Four minutes, I can do.

[Kevin] To bounce right back
from a mistake


when you get f*cking
yelled at by Chef Ramsay


and everyone's staring at you,
it's easier said than done.


but I gotta get my shit together
right now and execute this night.


[Victoria] Garnish up.

[Trenton] Everybody ready to walk?

-Ready to walk.
-[Kevin] No, no, no. Come back.


The salmons are not ready.

You think you should be telling me.

Why didn't you... We're a f*cking...

-Come on.
-[Kevin] Right on.


Two salmon, lamb, Wellingtons.

-[all] Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] And?


-Two and a half?
-[Kevin] Backtracking.


-Four minutes and a half.
-[Trenton] Four and a half.


-Why?
-Because of my salmon, Chef.


-The salmon.
-I don't want the lamb overcooked.


I don't want it overcooked.

-Yes, Chef.
-Yes, Chef.


Trying to get anything
from Kevin is like pulling teeth.


I mean his... it's not happening.

I'm ready to go whenever you're ready.

Protein, please.

Right on. Right on. I need a minute.

One more minute.

-One minute.
-For what?


-[Kevin] The salmon.
-All of you, come here. Stop.


Come here. Come here.

Come here. Put that down.
Come here, Blue Team.


They're in trouble.

-[man] Yeah.
-That means we're in trouble!


I'm starting to lose my patience.

I said that my concerns were you're
pulling back. You're pulling back.


If that's ready,
what do you need to do with it?


-Push it.
-Push it.


And he's telling you to slow down,
which I don't understand why.


So touch that. Just touch that.

Does that feel medium to you?

[Trenton] A little over.

[Ramsay] f*cking really? Really?

So that is now overcooked,
which I'm not serving.


-Absolutely, Chef.
-We've got a backup.


-Get a grip, guys. Come on.
-Yes, Chef. Four minutes.


I have no earthly idea.

I have no idea what's going on
with Kevin at this point.


We're all ready
to punch him in the throat.


We're getting that up in four
minutes, Kevin, right?


Kevin? Kevin? Kevin?

[Ramsay] How long?

Oh, f*cking hell.
There's not even a call back.


There's no teamwork. There's nothing.

Hey, all of you, stop. Come here.

Jay, take over. Come here.

f*ck off. f*ck off.

[man] They're getting in trouble again.

Private meeting in the back's never good.

I think they're doing so well,
he's gonna go back there and...


-High-five 'em?
-High-fives?


Yeah, high-five
everybody and bring 'em out.


What is happening?

We have no consistency.

There's no communication.
No one's absolutely on the same page.


You. What's wrong with you?

I just have to get my head
out of my ass, Chef.


Your head out of your ass.
Every table you've touched, yeah?


-Yes, Chef?
-[Ramsay] You've screwed.


Apron off, jacket off,
and f*ck off out of here.


You're done!

[dramatic music]

[wall cracks]

[dramatic music]

[Ramsay] Every table you've touched, yeah...

-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] You've screwed.


Apron off, jacket off,
and f*ck off out of here.


You're done! Get out!

Get out!

Who wants to join him?

'Cause this is going backwards.

And I'm f*cking patient,
but this is a f*cking joke. Get out!


-Now, can we get it together or not?
-[all] Yes, Chef!


-Otherwise you're out!
-[all] Yes, Chef.


[tense music]

Uh-oh. He's coming back.
He doesn't look happy.


[Ramsay] I want two Wellington,
two lamb, two salmon, yes?


-[all] Yes, Chef!
-Let's go.


[Trenton] Kevin is gone.

We didn't get
the satisfaction of putting him up


and telling him to get
the f*ck out of there.


But I agree with that decision.
It needed to happen.


It needed to happen.

f*cking shit.

I tried to bounce right back,

but I just couldn't find it within myself,

and I'm just very disappointed
in everything that happened.


It's very devastating.

I mean,
I did not expect it to turn this way.


I've never been put up for elimination,
and it's just one careless mistake.


I think I just shut down today
and took me down.


It just sucks.

I didn't just let myself down,

but my family back home, my friends and...

it just really sucks.

-Emily. On fish station.
-[Emily] Yes, Chef.


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


We can't afford to have
any other mistakes tonight


after what just happened.

I do not want to be kicked
out of the kitchen.


Two lamb, rested?

-Lamb are rested.
-[Ramsay] Let's go.


I'm ready to walk with those salmon.

Slicing Wellington.

[Emily] Two salmon.

Pick it up now. Let's go.

[Trenton] Walking Wellington.

[dramatic music]

-[Victoria] Lamb garnish is ready to roll.
-Lamb salad is up.


-Lamb, please.
-[Trenton] Walking lamb.


[dramatic music]

Beautifully cooked, that lamb.

Beautifully cooked? Thank you.

[narrator] With their weak link removed,[/i]

the Blue Team is now pushing out entrées.

[Ramsay] Service, please.

[narrator] And now both teams push[/i]
to finish dinner service...[/i]

[Antonio] Finish strong.

-[Steve] Halibut.
-[Emily] Walk it over.


[Brynn] Nice job, Red Team.

-[Ramsay] Beautifully cooked.
-Thank you.


[narrator] ...much to the delight[/i]
of some very happy diners.[/i]

That's the best lamb I've ever had.

This has to be one
of the best I've ever eaten.


That's legit.

Got a good bounce back, but,
f*cking hell, that was a terrible start.


[Steve] Thank you, Chef.

[ominous music]

[Ramsay] Wow, what a night.

I'm not sure what exactly
happened to Kevin tonight,


but his head was never in the game.

I'm not gonna accept it.

That's why I asked for his jacket. Yes?

[all] Yes, Chef.

So the winning team is...

[dramatic music]

The Red Team.

-[Sam] Yes. Okay. Sweet.
-Yay.


And the Blue Team.

Sweet.

-[Ramsay] That's right.
-[clapping]


As opposed to earlier services,

where bad beginnings led
to downward spirals,


tonight, both kitchens bounced back.

-Did it feel like that?
-[all] Yes, Chef.


So tonight, nobody else is leaving.

The weakest chefs have gone,

and the competition is heating up.

[all] Yes, Chef.

-Good night. Get out of here.
-[all] Yes, Chef.


[Trenton] Now that Kevin's gone,
I want to move forward.


The Blue Team will survive.

I mean, we'll keep adapting,
because every day,


we're becoming stronger
and stronger chefs.


[Steve] Tonight's dinner service
further strengthened us.


We're cutting the weaker people off.

Right now, it just means
that the competition


is about to crank up a whole lot.

-Antonio, great job on the Red Team.
-Thank you, Chef.


This is gonna be good.

I have no doubt
in my mind this is gonna be good.


I'm very confident in the Red Team.

If we all fire on all cylinders,
we could be dangerous.


I mean I hate to do it to the Blue Team,

but, uh, see ya.

[narrator] Next time on[/i] Hell's Kitchen,

as the competition
gets a bit more playful...


Man, you guys got some moves.

[narrator] ...so does the relationship[/i]
between two chefs.[/i]

Hey.

[angelic music]

Do you guys need a place to go?

-We're in a relationship, guys.
-No.


[narrator] Will one chef...[/i]

Don't hate on our love.

[narrator] ...be forced[/i]
to choose friendship...[/i]

I'm really torn in this moment.

[narrator] ...over the competition?[/i]

Do I want Emily to go home? No.

[Emily] This has been
the craziest day of my life.


[narrator] Find out next time[/i]

on an emotional episode...

-See ya.
-[narrator]
...of[/i] Hell's Kitchen.
