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

Chef Ramsay tested the chefs
in a challenge


where they had to think fast
on their feet.


Are you ready to play Spells Kitchen[/i]?

[all] Yes, Chef!

[narrator] First they had[/i]
to decipher ingredients...[/i]

Rutabaga.

Arugula?

[narrator] ...then they had[/i]
to use those ingredients[/i]

to make dishes that would deliver

in presentation and flavor.

That looks like a pile of shit.

[narrator] Unfortunately,[/i]
the Red Team delivered a team dish[/i]

that Chef Ramsay simply couldn't swallow.

-Jesus!
-[narrator]
On the other hand,[/i]

the Blue Team delivered a team dish

that hit the target.

That is absolute bliss.

[narrator] And every member[/i]
of the Blue Team[/i]

scored a point with their individual dish.

Six for six!

Red Team, you were dominated.

[narrator] Chef Ramsay[/i]
closed Hell's Kitchen[/i]

to host two very special charities.

We are extremely honored to be hosting

the Stand Together Foundation.

-[narrator] ...and...
-[Ramsay] Keep Memory Alive.[/i]

[narrator] Each chef was in charge[/i]
of one of five courses.[/i]

Kiya...

[Kiya] Don't skimp on the pasta.

[narrator] ...and Emily...[/i]

Start the plating now.

[narrator] ...did a masterful job[/i]
supervising their respective courses.[/i]

I'm gonna pick up on plating for you.

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

Back in the oven!

[Victoria] Drop the snapper.

[narrator] ...and Victoria...[/i]

[Ramsay] It is raw.

[narrator] ...wilted under the pressure.[/i]

It was far from a perfect night.

The losing team is the Blue Team

and the Red Team.

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

Josie tried to defend
her spot on the team.


I'm not going up there tonight.

[narrator] But her team[/i]
chose to ignore her.[/i]

It's Josie, Chef.

[narrator] Blue nominated...[/i]

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

Victoria.

-[narrator] In the end...
-Victoria.[/i]

[narrator] ...Chef Ramsay[/i]
said good-bye to Victoria,[/i]

ending her dream of becoming head chef

at Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris Las Vegas.

And now the continuation
of
Hell's Kitchen: Young g*ns.[/i]

Now get out of here.

-Yes, Chef.
-Yes, Chef.


[suspenseful music]

And come back strong.

[all] Yes, Chef!

All of you.

[Josie] What was his last comment?

The Red Team is kind of
in a weird place right now.


They hold some sort
of weird shit against me,


and that's fine.

If they want to have
some weird f*cking attitude,


that's a reflection on them.

It's going to be interesting
moving forward.


Drama's gonna be staying here for a while.

[Megan] Nope, knew you weren't going home.

Need to get Josie outta here.

We need to squash whatever
f*cking drama this is.


There's no drama coming from my end.

She put me up there, and I'm still here.

[Josie] Brynn is being such
a bitch, I can't take it.


[Emily] I don't know how you're so calm.

She should be out here with us.
She's inside with Emily.


When it comes to, like, this high school,

like, drama shit, I don't play that.

If someone's feeling excluded from a team

and your team's outside,

come and talk to your team.

Simple as that.

[Josie] You know, my team hates me.

-[Trenton] Yep.
-Bring it on.


I love that about you.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm!

Mmm-mmm, mmm!

Mmm!

[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

Go!

Welcome to Hell's Kitchen Cinema.

-[Antonio] Oh, boy.
-[Ramsay] Take a seat.


-[Emily] Oh, no.
-[Ramsay] Movie time!


[Sam] I hate movie dates.

You literally can't even talk
to the person that you brought,


so it's kind of just like,
"Oh, this is great.


"I don't know you, and I still don't

two hours after this movie."

Right, how are we feeling?

-[Emily] Great, Chef.
-[Trenton] Good, Chef.


Josie, why are you over there?

-[Josie] Huh?
-[Antonio] Why you there?


[Ramsay] Josie, you are
in the Red Team. Thank you.


Wow. Can't defect now, young lady.

I wanted to sit next to Emily. [chuckles]

Emily and I have
a strong personal relationship.


She's this bubbly person
that I just absolutely love.


[Ramsay] As you can see,

we've transformed
Hell's Kitchen restaurant


into a classic movie theater.

Think back to the beginning

when you first stepped through
that incredible Hell's Kitchen museum


and we promised to show you a documentary.

[cheers and applause]

[camera shutters clicking]

[Steve] Gonna be a movie,

or is there another f*cking
audience back there?


Because if there is, just let me know now

'cause I'm not gonna fall
for the same shit.


[Ramsay] Sit back, recline,
and enjoy the popcorn.


Let's go.

Ooh! Sorry.

[narrator] For the last seasons,[/i]

there is only one challenge
that comes back.


Oh, my God.

[narrator] Year after year:[/i]

-Oh!
-[narrator]
... th edition.[/i]

And it's happening...

Fire away.

[laughter]

[narrator]

[all screaming]

[cheers]

The blind-taste-test challenge,

and I am so pumped

and I hope to impress Chef Ramsay.

Welcome to the th edition
of the blind taste test.


Each of you are about to taste
four different ingredients


that will test your palate.

When it's your turn,

you'll be wearing blindfolds

and noise-canceling headphones

so that you can only rely on your palate.

Whilst each one of you is tasting,

one of your teammates
will be sat over there,


but they'll not be eating movie snacks...

Oh, no.

They'll be doused by the movie snacks.

-[chuckles]
-Understood?


[all] Yes, Chef.

The team that correctly
identifies the most ingredients


after five rounds wins the challenge.

First is the amazing Antonio

versus Steven.

-Let's go.
-[Brynn] Let's go, Steve!


In the chair is Sam and Megan.

Take a seat, please. Let's go!

Come on, Steve!

[narrator] Chef Ramsay brings back[/i]
the blind taste test every year[/i]

to put the chefs' palates to the test.

Antonio! Steve!

[narrator] Each chef[/i]
will taste four ingredients[/i]

without being able
to see or hear anything.


Okay.

[narrator]
If they get two ingredients wrong,[/i]

a movie snack will be dumped
on their on their teammates.


Oh, holy cats.

[narrator] If they continue[/i]
to get more wrong,[/i]

their teammate will get drenched

with additional movie snacks.

Let's start off with something simple:

Open up. Choo-choo!

[laughter]

[suspenseful music]

[Steve] Like I... I know
this flavor is familiar,


but I just can't really put
my finger on it.


-Celery?
-Oh, shit!


Cauliflower.

[Steve] Damn it.

Well, I hope Megan's bracing herself
because that's one strike,


and if I get another,
she's about to get caramel-ed.


[Megan] Oh, Chef.

[Ramsay] And Antonio.

Corn, Chef.

f*ck.

Not corn, Antonio.

Cauliflower.

Antonio, this is it.

[Sam] I am quite nervous sitting here.

I really do not want to have
anything dumped on me.


Antonio better get this right.

-Bell pepper, Chef?
-Bell pepper.


f*ck me.

I really don't even know
how to embrace for this.


-Christina, pour away.
-[Megan] Oh, God.


[all groaning and laughing]

Where's the popcorn?

[laughter]

[Kiya] Oh, my God.

Steve, here we go.

Green bean?

Megan, you are saved.

Correct.

[Megan] It's, uh, chicken.

I feel like this is an easy one.

Steve, don't mess this up.

-Turkey.
-Turkey, Chef.


[Megan] No!

-Turkey! Oh, no!
-[Brynn] Oh, Meg!


[Ramsay] Anybody in the mood
for some nacho cheese?


[groaning and laughing]

Right on her bun.

[Ramsay] Where is the chips?

All of the cheese and the caramel

is just running straight to my crotch.

It's great.

[laughter]

[Ramsay] One-nil for the Blue Team.

One more, here we go.

[Antonio] Sweet potato, Chef.

[Ramsay] That is correct.

[all snickering]

Carrot, Chef?

-No.
-f*ck!


-[laughter]
-[Ramsay] Nacho.


[screams]

All the noise.

[Megan] I can't say that I've ever

had caramel or nacho cheese dumped on me.

I feel, uh, disgusting.

Jason, where are the chips?

[giggles]

Headset off.

Look what you did to your team. [laughs]

-[Steve] Oh, my.
-[Antonio] That was hard.


-Hard? Oh, my Lord.
-[Steve] Sorry, Meg.


[Antonio] I am so sorry.

[all gasping and whimpering]

[Brynn] I'd hate to be Sam.

-You could hear him walk.
-[squelching]


That's... Ooh, it's so uncomfortable.

It just makes me antsy thinking about it.

Would you like a bite?

[crunch]

[narrator] With both teams tied at one,[/i]

Kiya and Trenton step up to taste

as Antonio and Steve take
their positions in the booths.


I'll take a steak.

Up!

Come on, Kiya.

-[Kiya] Turkey, Chef.
-Turkey...


Steak.

-Chicken.
-Oh, my God.


[mimics buzzer] Wrong.

You got one more chance
before I get angry.


Let's go nuts.

-Pistachio, Chef?
-Yes!


-Pistachio.
-[sighs]


Great job, Trenton.

Now keep up the good work.

[Ramsay]

Up!

This tastes like f*cking nothing.

-Cheese?
-What?


Mushroom? Not mushroom.

Oh, my God.

Here it comes.

[laughter]

[laughs]

[food splats]

[narrator] The second round[/i]

of the blind taste test challenge,

Young g*ns edition...

-Cheese?
-What?


Mushroom? That's not mushroom.

Oh, my God.

[narrator] ...and Kiya and Trenton[/i]
have gone one for three[/i]

in identifying ingredients...

Here it comes.

[narrator] ...so Antonio and Steve[/i]

both suffer the consequences...

Let's go.

[narrator] ...getting covered[/i]
in caramel and popcorn.[/i]

-Ooh! Oh, yeah.
-Oh, that's heavy.


[Ramsay] Where's the popcorn?

[laughs]

It tastes good, I'll give you that.

-Green beans.
-Oh, no!


[Ramsay laughs]

Come on, Kiya.

[Ramsay] Antonio, stop that.

-[groans]
-[Steve] Did you try to run?


I tried to put it to the
back so it didn't get my face.


Can we please get this done?

-[Josie] A Minion.
-[Brynn] A Minion.


I deserve it.

[shudders, retches]

Green bean?

Oh, my Lord!

Oh, Steve.

-[Brynn] Ugh!
-[Ramsay] Oh.


-Steve's like a champ.
-[cheese squishing]


I hate that sound. I hate that s ound.

[laughs]

Look what you did!

-[Trenton] Oh.
-[Ramsay] Oh, man!


-[Megan] Sorry.
-[Antonio] I'm sorry.


It's a tie, guys. It's - .

[narrator] It's now Brynn[/i]
and Megan's chance[/i]

to test their palates

with Kiya and Trenton in the booths.

-Ew, it's cold!
-[Trenton] Oh, my God.


[Ramsay] Right, let's start off
with something easy.


Salmon, Chef?

-[Josie] Yes.
-Correct.


-Salmon?
-[chuckles]


Yep.

Let's get exotic.

Brynn will get it, I believe.

Plum, Chef?

[breathing heavily]

Mango?

Yes!

Let's go for turnip.

Mmm!

Overcooked carrot, Chef?

Here we go.

-[Ramsay] Here we go.
-[Kiya] Oh, it's heavy!


What the f*ck?

[Ramsay] Oh, and the popcorn. [chuckles]

Smart move with the sun visor, by the way.

[Kiya] So back home,
there's a ton of farms,


and when it rains,
you're not supposed to go floating


because the cow shit gets in the creek.

Oh, it's down my back!

And that's what this feels like right now,

when you just floated in a nice,
fresh cow shit creek.


-Barley?
-[Ramsey] Barley?


Mmm!

Mmm!

[both] Mozzarella.

Love you.

Well done, headsets off. Megan, well done.

Thank you, Chef.

[narrator] The third round,[/i]

Megan correctly identifies

an impressive three
out of four ingredients...


Thank you, Megan.

[narrator] ...to put[/i]
the Blue Team up by one.[/i]

-[Trenton] Thank you.
-[Brynn] Sorry.


[Trenton] I am out of here
completely clean.


It feels so, so good.

Oh, you retouched me!

[laughs]

[Ramsay] Uh, Megan, you are back
in the chair, young lady.


-[groans]
-Sorry, Meg.


-Chef!
-[Ramsay] I know.


Come on, Josie.

During this challenge,
I just wanna outshine my team


because they have
been treating me like shit.


[Ramsay] Come on, Emily. Let's go.

The battle of the vegetarians.

Beets. Here we go.

Come on.

-Beets, Chef.
-Correct.


-Parsnip?
-Oh, no.


-f*ck.
-[Ramsay] Okay.


[sighs]

Um, I've eaten this a million times.

[Ramsay] Come on.

If you've eaten it a million times, girl...

I'm gonna say jelly, Chef?

-That's not right.
-J-Jelly?


What is a jelly?

[Kiya] Like, Josie, you are a vegan.

Like you should know
fruits and vegetables.


Where did you pull jelly from,

out of your ass?

-Pineapple.
-Oh, f*ck me.


Pineapple, Chef.

Well done.

- - , blue.
-[Megan] Come on, Em.


[Ramsay] This is very close.

Mmm!

Vegetarian's dream.

Is that a radish, Chef?

-Radish. Oh, no.
-Oh, no.


Oh, my God.

-[squeals]
-[Ramsay laughs]


That's heavy.

Sorry.

[Ramsay] Oh, boy.

Asparagus? Oh, my God!

Well done.

Right, let's round off
with something simple.


Come on.

Red skin or a russet potato, Chef.

Brilliant.

Well done.

Potato?

Well done. Handsets off.

-Thank you.
-[Ramsay] Well done!


Uh, so, Blue Team, decide
who's going, please,


for the fifth time.

[Trenton] Megan, you wanna go again?

[Megan] You want me to?

-Well, you got three.
-[Megan] Okay.


[Ramsay] Wow, smart. Right, and Sam.

Let's go, young man.
Blindfolds on, please.


Last round.

Let's start off with something easy.

Come on!

Eight to the blue. Six to the red.

Peas.

Oh!

Wrong. Carrot.

-Radish?
-Oh, no!


Wrong. Carrot.

-f*ck!
-[Ramsay] Come on, guys.


Right, next is peas.

Come on!

-Peas, Chef?
-Yes!


Yes!

[narrator] With the Blue Team[/i]
now up by three...[/i]

Red Team, you need this.
You cannot afford to get one wrong.


[narrator] ...Sam has to get[/i]
the next ingredient correct[/i]

to keep the Red Team in the game.

Sam, I know it's hard,
but we need this to win today.


Focus, Sam. f*cking focus!

[Ramsay] Come on, please.

[Sam] Um, corn.

[Ramsay] Wrong. Peas.

-Nice!
-[gasps]


Oh, no!

[screams]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Congratulations, Blue Team. Well done.

Thank you, Blue Team!

Megan and Emily,
three for four, well done.


[both] Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay] After this reward,

you are gonna feel like
some big-time ballers.


I've arranged for you
to have an extraordinary


VIP stretch party bus.

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!

-[Ramsay] Then...
-Yeah!


You go from balling
in the amazing party bus


to bowling at the amazing Brooklyn Bowl.

Oh, yeah, I like bowling,

and it's a cool bowling alley.

I'm excited to see it.

And joining you

is the biggest turkey I know.

-Marino!
-Yay!


[Ramsay] Yes!

Marino, how cool.

Go give tour team a hug.

Go and sit with Trenton.
Yeah, there you go.


-Excellent.
-[Marino] Here.


-[Ramsay] There.
-[Steve] Won't touch you.


[Ramsay] Red Team, while Blue Team are off

in that incredible party bus,

I'm afraid all of you are gonna
be stuck right in the gutter


because I want you to clean up
this despicable mess


and everything put back
together in a spotless fashion


ahead of our next service.

So, Brynn, you still have that
incredible Punishment Pass.


Yes, Chef.

Are you gonna spare yourself some agony

and go bowling with the Blue Team,

or are you sticking with the Red Team?

[suspenseful music]

[metal zinging]

So, Brynn, you still have that
incredible Punishment Pass.


Yes, Chef.

Are you gonna spare yourself some agony

and go balling with the Blue Team,

or are you sticking with the Red Team?

I think I have held
onto this Punishment Pass


long enough...

Yes, Blue Team!

So I'm gonna actually use it today.

[Ramsay] Well done!

The big question is now
who on the Blue Team


are you going to swap places with?

[Megan] Definitely terrified

when Punishment Pass comes into play.

We went up head-to-head, and I beat her.

I'm just sitting there hoping it's not me.

-Steve said he loved to bowl.
-Yes?


So, unfortunately, he cannot today.

-[Emily chuckles]
-Only fair, Chef.


Wow. Steve, how do you feel?

Uh, you know, that's fair.

When I played my Punishment Pass,

and I took a private jet from her...

Swap over, please.

So, naturally, I understand her
playing it here, which is fine.


I mean, Brynn's smoking hot,

so I can't be mad at her for long.

[laughing]

You two stuck together!

Finally, do we have love in the air?

-Yes.
-[Ramsay] Yes.


Whatever you wanna call it.

Good, Blue Team and Marino, head off.

Get cleaned up.

Your amazing party bus
is waiting for you guys.


Am I Brynn for the day,
so do I gotta, like, cry?


'Cause I will.

I will shed some f*cking tears
if I need to.


You gotta have a mental breakdown.

-That's fine.
-[Kiya] But it lasts seconds.


-I'll do it right now.
-Okay.


[imitates crying]

-Can you make yourself cry?
-No, I can't.


Have to punch myself in the balls,

like, really hard.

[laughs]

[upbeat music]

[Trenton] Hell yeah. Yeah!

-[Emily] Oh, yeah!
-[Megan] This is absurdly big.


This party bus is, like,
three cars all put together in one.


It's so long and big.

Whoa!

That sounds really gross.

Congratulations, guys.

-[Emily] Thanks!
-[woman] Here.


Have a drink.

-[Emily] Thank you. Cheers!
-[woman] Have fun.


-To the Blue Team, y'all.
-Plus Brynn.


Plus one red!

[Brynn] Oh, my God, I'm so excited!

[Emily] Yeah, let's bowl!

[all cheering]

-[Megan] Do it.
-[Brynn] Yay!


[Megan] I'm so excited!

[Both] Hi, Marino!

Congratulations.

-Now I can hug you.
-Yay!


[Marino] Today we are bowling, okay?

[Megan] Wow!

-[Emily] I knew it.
-Marino!


[Emily] I knew he was good.

-[Trenton] Here we go.
-[Brynn] Go, Megan!


[Trenton] Oh, that's good!

-[Kiya] Dang, girl!
-[Marino] Whoa!


There you are.

Oh, that's good!

-[Emily] Wow!
-[Marino] Whoa!


I'm glad I used my Punishment Pass.

Come on, Brynn!

% party time.

[Marino] Good job!

-There you go.
-[Trenton] Hell yeah.


You know, I got my Charlie Sheen shirt on,

so I'm gonna be winning.

[Marino] That's a nice run.

-Look at that.
-[Brynn] Yay!


Megan is k*lling it.

Oh, look at this.

[Brynn] Emily!

What? Come on!

Aim in the middle.

Eh, no.

Eh, no!

I'm really, really bad at bowling.

[Marino] No!

Oh!

People call me Gutter Girl.

[laughter]

[laughs]

Oh, come on!

No!

-No!
-No!


The object of the game is to hit the pins.

[laughter]

[Christina] Guys, we have
dinner service tonight,


so you need to step on it.

Start with the biggest mess over there,

and then, uh, you've gotta get
these chairs all the way clean.


Yuck.

[Antonio] How long was this
shit stuck to the floor?


Thank you, Chef.

[Sam] Looks like someone

just f*cking threw up pounds.

[Kiya] Don't say it.

[Josie] Sam, shut the f*ck up.

Sam actually has the shittiest attitude.

[Sam] Oh, that's an actual piece of gum.

He just likes complaining.

What the f*ck?

Dude, grow a pair.

Like, get over it.

Oh...

I know it.

[Marino] What is it you guys find

so challenging during the services?

Can't babysit each other on stations.

We should know these, like,
little things, but...


Do you really still feel like
you have to babysit people?


[Marino] At this point...

For real? For real?

So, actually, yeah.

[Marino] Let's be the bad guy.

-Who?
-[laughter]


I mean, you know, there's sometimes
that I worry about Josie.


I think definitely it...
it's concerning for some of the team.


Red Team definitely
seems like they're dissolving,


so anything to dwindle them down.

That's what competition's all about:

survival of the fittest.

What do you think
Red Team's doing right now?


Cleaning.

I would hate to be Steve.

Steve, payback's a bitch!

[laughter]

[Steve] Why the f*ck
do we gotta pick the crumbs


out of the carpet by hand?

That just doesn't make
any f*cking sense to me.


I'm not even gonna be able
to walk after this.


[Sam] Yeah, this dinner service
is gonna really suck.


[Steve] Normally, I'm a positive person,

but I'm being real.

This shit is pissing me the f*ck off.

Why the f*ck are we picking crumbs

out of the carpet by hand?

[Sam] That had caramel.

Steve was supposed
to go on the reward today,


but because of Brynn's Punishment Pass,

he kind of switched around
with the other team.


He doesn't seem to be too happy about it

as we're working.

Can't really blame the guy.

If I pick up another crumb,
I'm probably gonna k*ll myself.


So good job, Brynn. Have fun.

She played her cards correct.
I commend her for it.


I'm gonna put this here before
I make any rash decisions.


[cleaver thuds]

-Blue Team, let's go.
-[Emily] Yes.


[Ramsay] Think where we were
weeks back, yes?


[all] Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Now we're on our own.

[all] Yes, Chef.

Let's go, yes? Get them lit.

-Red Team.
-[Brynn] Yes.


[Ramsay] You shine as individuals,

but come through as a team, right?

[both] Yes, Chef.

-Marino?
-Si.[/i]

Open Hell's Kitchen, please. Let's go.

Con piacere.

[upbeat music]

[narrator] Once again, Hell's Kitchen[/i]
is the place to be in Vegas...[/i]

-To the Blue Team.
-To the Blue Team.


[narrator] ...and anticipation builds[/i]

as tables fill with hungry guests...

[man ] Final night as a bachelor.

[man ] Hell yeah, man. Congratulations.

[narrator]
...including two VIP chef's tables:[/i]

comedian Gabriel Iglesias and his family...

-[Ramsay] Good to see you.
-[Gabriel] Thank you.


[narrator] ...and actress Melissa Joan Hart[/i]

and her sister.

-To the Red Team.
-May they win.


[both laugh]

[Ramsay] Four covers, table .

Two scallops, two beef tartare.

-Heard?
-[all] Heard, Chef!


[Ramsay] Let's go.

-[Brynn] Two scallops, two beef tartare.
-[Kiya] Yep. Heard.


Sam, I'm gonna go ahead
and drop my scallops, okay?


[Sam] Heard!

[Kiya] In tonight's service,

Red Team really has to pull together.

[Josie] Need help lifting?

-I got you.
-Thank you.


The problem that's
been going on in our team


cannot translate into dinner service.

A minute out on scallops.

[Josie] Heard, your minute.

It's clear that a leader voice is needed,

and I definitely consider myself
a leader on the Red Team.


[Ramsay] Scallops, please.

[Kiya] Walking scallops, Chef.

Like, I'm just here to get shit done.

-[Christina] Thank you.
-You're welcome, Chef.


[suspenseful music]

[Ramsay] Kiya, nicely sautéed.

Thank you, Chef.

Nice job, Red Team.

Great, good start.

[Ramsay] Beautifully done.
Service, please.


Oh, my God. It's so good!

[Ramsay] Blue Team, here we go.
Four covers, table two.


Two risotto, scallops.

-Heard?
-[all] Heard, Chef.


[Ramsay] Let's go.

Today has been a shit day,

mainly because of that punishment.

It's been in the back of my mind

bothering me a little bit.

You good, Steve?

[Steve] You know, Brynn,
her strategy may have worked.


She got in my head a little bit.

[Megan] How long on risotto, Steve?

How long, Steve?

Steve? Heard?

Steve?

I'm really, really concerned for Steve,

especially two services in a row.

Not off to a great start
is never a good thing.


-Come on, Steve. Wide awake.
-[Steve] Yes.


[Ramsay] This is where it counts.

First riso is ready.

[Ramsay] Up to the window. Let's go.

[Trenton] It's so dry, man. It's so dry.

Jay, get on. Show him again.
He's not concentrating.


Come on, Steve, please.

-Steve, look at me. Are you okay?
-Yes.


-I need it rich and lather, okay?
-[Steve] Heard, Chef.


Steve, you understand the
consistency of risotto, yes?


-Yes, Chef.
-Let's go, young man.


[Trenton] Need some help, man?

Steve does not communicate.

We cannot get off to a rocky
start with those apps.


Show me your second gear now
and show me your third.


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


It's good.

[Santos] I didn't expect this from you.

[Steve] I didn't either.

[Ramsay] Steve, that's better now,
lather, yes?


Let's go! Go, please.

[narrator] With Steve getting[/i]
his head back in the game...[/i]

There's great flavor in the risotto.

[Ramsay] Service, please.

[narrator] ...appetizers are now[/i]
rolling out of both kitchens.[/i]

I love it.

I'd order it again. I'd order this.

The scallops were the best.

-[narrator] And it's time to tackle...
-[Ramsay] Entrée, two salmon, Wellington.[/i]

-Heard?
-[all] Heard, Chef.


-[Ramsay] Let's go.
-[Josie] Three on garnish.


Chef Ramsay's given me three opportunities
to bounce back,


so tonight, I can't make any mistakes.

Is this soupy enough or no?

That should be good.

I'm concerned about Josie.

She's definitely one
of the slower people on the team,


and if that gets behind,

it can f*ck up the entire kitchen.

-[Kiya] Salmon ready.
-[Josie] Heard.


-[Antonio] Wellies are perfect. Walking.
-It's ready?


[Sam] Nice job, guys. Keep it up.

[Kiya] Chef Christina,
salmon on your right.


-Beautifully cooked.
-Thanks, Chef!


-[Sam] Nice job.
-[Ramsay] Let's go!


Come on, Josie. It's the first table!

[Josie] Yes, Chef!

Garnish walking.

Let's go.

Oh, dear.

You bring me the wrong garnish.

It's the first table, young lady.

Come on!

Salmon garnish.

The salmon, yes.
Salmon garnish is working, Chef.


[Antonio] Lentils.

[Ramsay] So we're waiting for Josie.

-Look, it's there!
-[Josie] Yes, Chef.


[Ramsay] Come here, Red Team.
It's the first table.


-[Josie] Yes, Chef.
-Yeah, but look. Everything's cooked.


You're wringing lentils.
They're cooking salmon to perfection.


-Yes, Chef.
-[Ramsay] We miss it?


The wrong garnish.

[Ramsay] Keep your mind on the garnish.

-Let's go!
-[Kiya] Yes.


[Antonio] Three minutes!

[chuckles] Yes!

[narrator] In the blue kitchen...[/i]

Salmon's going up. Salmon's going up.

[narrator] ...Megan is delivering[/i]
her salmon to the pass.[/i]

Salmon's up!

Hot pan, Chef.

-[Ramsay] Nicely cooked.
-Thank you.


Salmon garnish? Anybody?

-[Emily] Walking now.
-[Ramsay] Let's go.


Mash, please. Mash.

Bring the same thing up, the same time.

-Mash.
-[Emily] Yes, Chef.


I'm hungry!

[Emily] I'm heating them up
really quickly, Chef.


[Megan] Emily's been learning, learning,

but today going onto service,
she's real disorganized.


[Trenton] Gotta have that shit, Emily.

[Emily] I know, Chef.

[Trenton] You've got to have that shit.

-It's a simple shit.
-[Emily] Yes, I know.


[Kiya] Sometimes she's
not really paying attention,


which definitely can be detrimental to us.

-[Trenton] Come on, guys.
-[Emily] Garnish on your right.


[Ramsay] Good, thank you.

Go, go, go.

[woman] So delicious!

It's good.

[narrator] Over on red kitchen...[/i]

-[Ramsay] Let's go! Pick it up!
-[Josie] Yes, Chef.


[narrator] ...Josie has finally[/i]
sent her garnish up.[/i]

[Ramsay] Good, let's go.

[narrator] Diners on the red side enjoy[/i]

their precisely cooked entrées as well.

[woman] It's really good.

[Josie] No, keep it on. Don't touch...
Don't touch my stove now.


I am really hoping that
I'm going to be able


to get my shit together fast.

-I got it.
-Okay.


I don't need help. I have to prove myself.

[Ramsay] Fire now.
Two lamb, two Wellington.


-Heard?
-Yes, Chef.


[Ramsay] Let's go.

-Let's go.
-[Antonio] Let's go.


You got it?

Josie, two Wellington, I'm / .

-You got the next?
-[Josie] Heard.


If Josie doesn't get her
shit together on garnish,


we're gonna be screwed for this.

[Josie] Walking garnish
for lamb and Wellie.


Josie, there's two lamb. You gave me one.

Do we have the other portion?

No, Chef. No, Chef.

[Ramsay] You two. Come here, you two.

What are you doing?

I just want some coordination on there,
some team spirit.


What are we doing here?

One portion of f*cking lamb,
four portions of Wellington.


That was , % my fault.

I thought it was enough.

-[Ramsay] Can we communicate?
-[Josie] Absolutely.


Hey, you're just making
your own shit show.


You're... You're doing this,

but it's not even necessary.

I don't get it. I do not understand.

[both] Yes, Chef!

Chef's table, hurry up!
Fluffy has a live...


live gig straight after.

Two New York strip, salmon, one halibut.

Six minutes to the window. Let's go.

[Trenton] Two New York strip,
one salmon, halibut.


[Ramsay] Let's bounce back.

Six minutes, guys!

[Kiya] Six minutes! Heard that!

Six minutes!

Steve.

Come here.

What's wrong?

I'm struggling.

I... I'm not gonna lie, young man.
I am struggling.


I got no vigor, no bounce back.

You're one of
the most talented cooks here,


one of the most accurate cooks
I've got in this competition.


Now you're, "Hey, man, f*ck it."

I need more.

-Yes, Chef. Heard.
-Yeah? I need more.


Now we're in the weeds,
got off to a slow start,


but there needs to be a certain vigor

and a certain professionalism

where you bounce back and say,
"Chef, I've got this.


"Chef, I want this."

'Cause if you don't want it,
then give me your jacket.


[dramatic music]

[flames whoosh]

Needs to be a certain professionalism

where you bounce back and say,
"Chef, I've got this.


"Chef, I want this."

'Cause if you don't want it,
then give me your jacket.


Do you want it?

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


Snap out of it. Let's go!

The fact Chef Ramsay pulls me back
for a one-on-one


means that he actually cares

and he wants me to come back
from this shit show


that is currently going on.

I don't want this day to define me.

I still got some fight left in me.

[Megan] Steve, are you okay
with yelling at me


-when I need to drop?
-Yeah.


Someone's gotta step up to the plate.

If no one's talking, I'll talk all day.

Walking halibut!

Hot pan, Chef.

[Ramsay] Nicely cooked, Megan.

-[Megan] Thank you, Chef.
-Beautifully cooked.


-[Megan] Thank you, Chef.
-[Emily] Good job, Meg.


[Ramsay] New York strip, please.

[Trenton] Yes, Chef!

Trenton, beautifully cooked.

[Trenton] Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay] Chef's table, please.

[narrator] With Megan taking lead[/i]
on her team,[/i]

and Trenton being rock-solid on meat...

[Gabriel] Pretty!

[narrator] ...the Blue Team[/i]
is now pushing out entrées.[/i]

[Ramsay] Service, please.

That was very good.

-Kiya, beautifully cooked.
-Thank you, Chef.


[narrator] Now both kitchens are hustling[/i]

to complete dinner service...

-[Trenton] Let's finish strong, guys.
-Heard that.


Nicely cooked, Antonio.
Beautifully cooked halibut.


-[Kiya] Thank you, Chef.
-[Ramsay] Service.


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

Oh, this is amazing.

[man] Ooh, it's so soft and tender.

Wow, Daddy does like.

That's really good.

The salmon is cooked really good.

-Perfect.
-[woman] Oh, yeah.


It's... It's cooked perfect.
It's cooked perfect.


[Ramsay] Trenton, good job
on the meat, yes?


[Trenton] Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] Megan, great job on the fish.

[Megan] Thank you, Chef.

[tense music]

Let's get one thing clear:
Tonight, we did have a sold service


from both kitchens, right?

[all] Yes, Chef.

[Ramsay] But every service,
every challenge,


I cannot tell you time and time again,

you need to start popping.

Two individuals did just that.

The leader that I saw in the blue kitchen

was Megan.

You controlled your station,
you were vocal,


but more importantly,
you sounded like a leader.


-Congratulations.
-Thank you, Chef.


Red Team, in your kitchen,

there was one individual that stood out,

and that individual

was Kiya.

Sweet.

[Ramsay] The fish was immaculate,

and you sounded like a leader.

Thank you, Chef.

[Ramsay] So listen up.

With leadership comes responsibility.

Megan and Kiya,

I want each of you to go back to the dorms

and have a quick, honest, brutal meeting

with each of your team members

and then come back and give me

one chef from your team
who deserves to be up for elimination.


-Is that clear?
-[both] Yes, Chef.


Get out of here.

[suspenseful music]

I think you're really strong.

I... I thought he was gonna say you.

Yeah, me too.

My only issues were
with Emily and Steve tonight.


Like, I think Steve absolutely
f*cked up tonight


and he's not vocal,

but I... I just don't feel Emily is ready.

-Yeah.
-I don't know. What's your thought?


I would say definitely Steve,

but that's only because he got behind

and he's not vocal.

You're the leader.
You've got to make this decision.


If he wants you to step up
and be a leader,


I shouldn't be the one
telling you what to think


or where to go with this.

-[Megan] I feel bad.
-[Trenton] Well, feel bad.


This is what being a manager's about...

-I know.
-Hurting feelings.


I don't think you and Brynn
had any problems


with the appetizers nor the desserts.

I've never been a person
to beat around the bush.


Gonna be Josie going up.

Okay.

I'm not here to f*cking pussyfoot
around everybody's feelings.


So Josie going up tonight

because of her lack
of communication on garnish


and lack of timing, so that's it.

Do you think you're gonna put me up or...

I... I have no f*cking idea.

My biggest thing is, like,
you seem a little disorganized


and, like, frazzled,

so I guess it's my biggest grievance.

I think, um, what you
can teach is organization,


but what you can't teach
is the determination


and the attitude that I have.

I just want you to think about that.

I'm definitely nervous because
there's always a chance that


she could say my name to Chef Ramsay

and I could have to fight for my life.

So tonight, I'm going to be
putting up Josie.


-[clicks tongue] Gotcha.
-So we're good.


Word. All right, sounds good.

Chef Ramsay doesn't want somebody
all wishy-washy.


Like, I'm not gonna, like,
sugarcoat something


to make somebody feel better.

Tonight, you did have
the hardest time on your station.


I mean, you know that was,
like, the big thing tonight.


-Right.
-Chef Ramsay made it clear.


With... With the garnish,

I didn't even know
that we could fire ahead.


That's an invalid excuse.

-So I'm going up.
-Yeah.


I'm not here to make friends,

to have feelings about things

because at the end of the day,
I'm here to f*cking win.


What do you have to say?

Do you have anything to say?

Weigh your options carefully.

You gonna look at it as competition,

or are you gonna look at it
as the team going forward?


That's the way I would look at it.

It's time for me to fight for my life.

This is my... This is my time
to do it, you know?


So I'm giving her, you know,

two ways to think of this situation.

You've got to look ahead.

In my head, it was you or Emily.

Overall, I think you're
stronger than Emily,


but, you know, you're also quiet,

so it's like pick your poison.

It's hard. It's rough.

I don't know.

I'm absolutely on the fence
with both of them.


It's a lot. It's a big decision.

Damn, this sucks.

I don't...

[china shatters]

[dramatic music]

Wow, what a night.

Kiya, your nominee from
the Red Team and why, please.


My nominee is for Josie tonight, Chef.

The entire dinner service
relied on the garnishes


to be pushed out,

and we found ourselves lagging on those

for quite some time.

-Megan.
-Yes, Chef.


Who is your nominee
from the Blue Team and why?


My nominee is...

-Steve.
-[Ramsay] Steve.


[Megan] Just based off
of tonight's performance,


for me, it boils down to communication,

and he's just one
of our quieter people in the kitchen.


Josie, Steve, step forward, please.

Let's go.

Steve, why should you stay
in Hell's Kitchen?


Tonight was a fluke.
It doesn't define me as a chef.


You know that. I know that.
Everybody behind me knows this.


I can guarantee you when I come back,

I promise you
that I'll be firing in that sixth gear,


I'm firing on all cylinders,

and I'm ready to kick ass
and take some initials,


'cause names take too long
to f*cking write down.


[sighs]

Wow.

Josie, rough night.

Why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?

I've learned so much,
and I'm not done growing.


Chef, this is the environment
that I thrive in,


one that is keeping me growing

and keeps me under pressure.

This is... This is where I belong, Chef.

[sniffles]

And I couldn't be happier.

I have so much left.

The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is...

[dramatic music]

Josie.

Young lady, give me your jacket, please.

Listen and listen carefully.

Yes, Chef.

Right now, you're not ready
to become my prodigy


but you're on track,

and someday, you will get there

because there's that steely, focused,

determined, gutsy chef.

I feel your passion.

Thank you, Chef.

I wish you the best of luck.

-Thank you, Chef.
-Thank you.


-Good night. Take care.
-Thank you.


[somber music]

[Josie] I'm so disappointed.
I'm gonna miss Emily.


She's been such a great friend to me.

But at the same time, I'm proud of myself.

This was a great experience,
and whoever ends up hiring me


is going to be really lucky

'cause I've learned a f*ck ton.

-Steven.
-Yes, Chef.


I'll accept a fluke.

I'll accept a shit night.

I think everybody knows
that standing behind you.


So you've played that card.

-Yes, Chef.
-You've all played that card.


Steven, back in line.

[chuckles]

Right now, this competition is wide open.

Which one of you is gonna
step up and prove it?


That is it. Is that clear?

[all] Yes, Chef.

Get out of here.

-[Kiya] Yes.
-[Antonio] Yes.


-[Ramsay] Good night.
-[all] Good night.


This is the moment,
and I've got to stand above the rest


every single time that
I step into this kitchen


because any mistake could
get me kicked out of here,


like, and it's real this time.

That said,
y'all still gotta worry about me.


I'm still a f*cking threat.

[Antonio] Don't think
the Red Team changed much now.


People are gonna go home
and it's gonna suck


and, you know, bonds are made,
bonds are broken,


but at the end of the day,

I'm here to walk out
with one head chef position.


I'm really, really sad that Josie's gone.

We kind of clung to each other
during this whole competition


because we're kind of the same person,

and I feel so lucky that

I got to meet her on Hell's Kitchen.[/i]

I really hope I get a hug if I ever leave.

[dramatic music]

[Ramsay] Josie may have come
a long way in this competition,


but right now,
she still needs more time to grow.


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

[Ramsay] HKchefsONLY.com,

a new app, Cooking for Love.

[narrator] Love is in the air[/i]

for some of the Young g*ns...

-[Kiya] Do you need a hug?
-[Brynn] Yeah.


[narrator] ...but will sparks fly?[/i]

Everything's on fire,

and I don't know what I'm doing.

[narrator] At dinner service...[/i]

Let's keep it going! Let's go!

Hurry up, Sam!

[narrator] ...some very different emotions...[/i]

Shit! We can't f*ck this shit up again

-because we're not gonna live.
-I understand that.


Oh, my God.

[narrator] ...get stirred up.[/i]

It's all next time on an unstable episode...

-[Antonio groaning]
-[Steve moaning]


Oh, my God! Sam, crying time?

-[narrator] ...of[/i] Hell's Kitchen.
-Laurel and Hardy, get a grip!


What's Laurel and Hardy?

That... Is that a thing?
