I just want some food now!

I don't know what to do.

There's a problem.

ANNOUNCER: --there were

breakdowns in communication.

We need two quail, Chef?

There's quail

nowhere on that ticket.

Would you like me to f*cking

email that to your BlackBerry?

No, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: Then disaster struck.

HEATHER: Hot, hot!

- You OK?

HEATHER: No.

SARA: Calm down.

She got burned, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: And for the

a chef was rushed

to the hospital.

Even without Heather the women

GORDON: That That's nice.

Thank you.

And the losing team

Gabe-- take off your jacket

and get out of Hell's Kitchen.

ANNOUNCER: In week three, the

Let's go start

ANNOUNCER: --the

battle of the sexes

I'm not your girlfriend.

ANNOUNCER: Then at

dinner service--

Don't send anything, Heather,

unless you know it's perfect.

ANNOUNCER: --when steady

Heather stumbled--

That's it, Sara.

Fantastic.

Keep it up now, yeah?

Thank you, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: --her rival,

Sara, stepped up.

SARA: Princess Heather--

that's the way she works?

ANNOUNCER: In the

men's kitchen, Tom--

You've stopped caring

now, haven't you?

No, I haven't.

ANNOUNCER: --and Giacomo--

Why is the oven

not on, you donkey?

Say

ANNOUNCER: --came under fire.

And when the men were

You were bad.

ANNOUNCER: --Giacomo, the

pizza maker, was sent home.

And with five women and

only three men remaining--

I'm giving you a leader.

Heather, in the blue team.

I don't need leadership.

ANNOUNCER: --the battle

of the sexes was over.

I'm pissed off.

I'm gonna have to

go against my girls.

ANNOUNCER: Then--

Are you ready?

ANNOUNCER: --when Chef

Ramsay opened the restaurant

for a surprise lunch--

You take grill,

you take fries.

ANNOUNCER: --Heather led

the former men's team

to their first

challenge victory.

Whoo, roller coaster!

ANNOUNCER: At dinner--

- I'm ready.

I'm waiting for your call.

ANNOUNCER: --Sara

sabotaged Virginia.

Where's the turbot?

I haven't fired it yet.

She said that she

was ready when I am.

Do you want to

start lying to me?

I'm not lying to you, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: While Heather

did her best to turn

the blue kitchen around--

- I need to feel teamwork.

- I know but I--

Hey, hey!

Cut it out.

Cut it out.

I totally feel like

I'm the babysitter.

ANNOUNCER: --it was a night

of complete frustration

for Chef Ramsay.

I've had enough!

ANNOUNCER: And there

was no winning team.

GORDON: There you go!

Yeah, there you go.

The blue team and

the red team nominate

someone that's leaving.

ANNOUNCER: Tom and Virginia

were up for elimination.

The person leaving

Hell's Kitchen is Tom.

TOM: I need to go find a job.

ANNOUNCER: Then in

week five, Chef Ramsay

tested the chefs' taste buds.

Being matched

up against Heather

was a chance to prove myself.

ANNOUNCER: A

near-perfect Virginia

led the red team to victory.

Three out of four--

very well done.

Thank you.

Woohoo!

ANNOUNCER: And

they were rewarded

with a TV Guide photo sh**t.

Nice.

ANNOUNCER: But

when they returned,

Sarah and Virginia picked up

right where they left off.

I don't even

consider you a friend.

Oh, I'm not popular again.

Bummer.

She's just like--

[grunts]

ANNOUNCER: Meanwhile, Heather

bonded with opposing teammate--

Rachel.

If I go, you better win.

If you go, I will crack.

Stop it.

ANNOUNCER: At dinner--

GORDON: Salmon's

cooked beautifully.

Thank you, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: --Virginia

was at her best.

And Rachel was at her worst.

It-- it--

You're in jeopardy of screwing

the whole f*cking thing.

That man will not break me.

ANNOUNCER: While in

the blue kitchen,

Keith received a

rare compliment.

Has anyone ever actually

told you how good you could be?

ANNOUNCER: The red team lost.

Rachel, take your jacket off.

RACHEL: You don't quit having

the dream because of one night.

GORDON: Move your asses!

ANNOUNCER: Chef

Ramsay challenged

the remaining players

to find inspiration

in a fresh food market.

- Down here, come on.

- We're going to need onions.

Sir, please.

ANNOUNCER: It was Virginia--

Your bird's got big breasts.

Thank you.

ANNOUNCER: --who once again

led the red team to victory.

Virginia, you're on a roll.

I just think we got

f*cking cheated.

ANNOUNCER: And a

night on the town.

Are they flipping us off?

They're flipping us off.

ANNOUNCER: Then at dinner--

This is the last

table at Hell's Kitchen.

ANNOUNCER: --the

blue team completed

their first service ever.

Oh, my god.

ANNOUNCER: But thanks

to the red team,

Chef Ramsay was in no

mood for celebration.

Now it's turning into being

a f*cking big embarrassment.

Ladies, you know

damn well you lost.

Maribel, take off your jacket.

ANNOUNCER: And the cafeteria

chef from the Bronx went home.

Congratulations.

ANNOUNCER: In week seven,

Chef Ramsay combined the five

remaining chefs into one team.

Each of you will have

the same ingredients.

ANNOUNCER: But gave them their

first individual challenge.

GORDON: Keith, you got

the most amazing color.

ANNOUNCER: Keith won

a trip to Las Vegas.

GORDON: I'm going to show you

the restaurant that one of you

are that close to winning.

ANNOUNCER: But Chef Ramsay

had another surprise.

One more thing--

you can take someone with you.

I'm going to take Virginia.

That was the weakest thing

I've ever seen in my life.

ANNOUNCER: Keith

betrayed Garrett--

his best friend

in Hell's Kitchen.

Listen, dude, I feel bad.

Listen-- nothing.

You're a liar!

ANNOUNCER: Then at dinner--

GORDON: Now the

pressure is really on.

ANNOUNCER: --Heather

received a rare compliment.

That is absolutely spot on.

ANNOUNCER: While Virginia--

You just told crap!

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

ANNOUNCER: Sarah--

GORDON: They won't stick.

That's why it's

called non-stick!

ANNOUNCER: --and Garrett--

GORDON: The chicken is raw.

ANNOUNCER: --incurred

Chef Ramsay's wrath.

You're gonna k*ll someone.

Garrett, take of your jacket.

ANNOUNCER: And the

former prison chef was

released from Hell's Kitchen.

I wanted this

more than anything.

ANNOUNCER: Then the final four

were taken to a secret location

to run their restaurant.

GORDON: Here are

your restaurants.

ANNOUNCER: It was Virginia--

Who else wants some lovin'?

ANNOUNCER: --with her turkey

panini, who stole the hearts

of the construction workers.

Congratulations.

Wow!

ANNOUNCER: She won

the most desirable

reward ever in Hell's Kitchen.

You're through to

the final three.

Being in the safe zone--

I was so excited.

ANNOUNCER: While

Heather suffered

her biggest disappointment.

They picked mine as the worst.

I felt my heart drop.

ANNOUNCER: But at

dinner service--

seconds!

Who's holding us up, Heather?

Virginia is, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: Virginia struggled.

- I can't.

I can't, you guys.

Virginia, you're

no longer safe.

ANNOUNCER: And

just when it looked

as if her fate was sealed--

Cheers.

Final three.

Come on.

ANNOUNCER: --Chef Ramsay

gave her a choice.

I'm a man of my word.

If you decide to stay,

I'll send Sara home.

ANNOUNCER: And in a

surprising conclusion--

I want to freaking stay.

Sara, take off your jacket

and leave Hell's Kitchen.

SARA: Maybe I'm just really not

good enough to do great things.

ANNOUNCER: Last week--

GORDON: minutes--

recreate that.

ANNOUNCER: --Virginia's

impeccable palate--

Absolutely spot on.

ANNOUNCER: --led her to

another challenge victory.

Congratulations.

ANNOUNCER: And a private

cooking lesson with Chef Ramsay.

Scare them.

But if I scare you,

you're not gonna forget.

ANNOUNCER: Then at dinner,

Chef Ramsay gave each chef

an opportunity to shine.

Each and every one of you will

be running the entire service.

ANNOUNCER: Heather took charge.

I need those two risotto.

How long, Keith?

Keith!

Seven minutes.

Six minutes.

ANNOUNCER: And

Virginia delivered

the performance of her life.

Start to dress one

salmon, one chicken!

Yes, Chef.

Heather, do you hear me?

One salmon, one chicken.

Yes.

ANNOUNCER: Keith's

mediocre leadership--

How long on those

two spaghettis?

I've lost track

of where we are.

ANNOUNCER: --and bad attitude--

I didn't say it, Chef.

I don't want any

more f*cking arguing!

Just two risottos!

Shit.

ANNOUNCER: --made him a

nominee for elimination

along with Virginia.

The person leaving Hell's

Kitchen tonight is Keith.

I personally think that you

are a hard-on for Virginia.

Why do you have to

be so f*cking rude?

Now I definitely know I've

made the right decision.

ANNOUNCER: After

the most shocking

decision ever Hell's

Kitchen, Chef Ramsey

had his two finalists.

Tonight-- the moment

you've been waiting for.

Virginia, the salad

chef from California--

I want to freaking win

tonight so badly I can taste it.

ANNOUNCER: --takes on

Heather, the seasoned line

chef from New York.

I'm going to give this

girl a fight tonight.

ANNOUNCER: They have to

deal with the hungry media.

How does your husband feel

about you being on the show?

ANNOUNCER: And face

their former competitors.

I'm not going to

work for a woman.

Not gonna happen.

ANNOUNCER: And their demands.

I want some money and

I want it right now.

ANNOUNCER: They must both

pull their teams together.

Take it back with

you, we'll do it again.

You're Ret*rded.

ANNOUNCER: Overcome

every adversity.

Tom cut himself.

Son of a bitch.

ANNOUNCER: And meet Chef

Ramsay's highest expectations.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Make it perfect.

ANNOUNCER: Who will have the

restaurant in the billion

dollar Vegas resort?

Who will win Hell's Kitchen?

GORDON: Congratulations.

ANNOUNCER: Find out tonight

on the season finale.

[theme music]

And now, the conclusion

of Hell's Kitchen.

VIRGINIA: [laughs]

ANNOUNCER: Heather

and Virginia celebrate

making it so the final two.

Cheers to you and me.

Cheers!

ANNOUNCER: But Chef Ramsay

has another surprise.

How do you feel right now?

I am like in shock.

[knocking]

Keith was bigger competition.

Daddy!

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

I can't believe you

guys are here right now!

And all of a sudden, my

mother and my husband walk in.

And he's like, hi, babes.

[giggles] Oh, my god.

Oh, my DeeDee and Papa!

Oh, I missed you guys so much.

I was-- I was

completely shocked.

When they came through

the doors that was just--

Oh, I missed you guys so much.

I have you guys in

my pocket all day.

Am I dreaming?

Oh, you have no

idea what's happened.

Literally, I had to

dive into dumpsters.

Dive.

Get Into the dumpsters now.

I have so many

good friends now.

- That's nice.

- You know, that--

It was a nice experience.

That girl, Rachel.

Out of everyone I'll

miss you the most.

Stop it.

Unreal.

But my palate is so good.

I won the taste test contest.

Chicken, hot dog, Swiss cheese.

Virginia, you got

the highest score.

Thank you.

And when-- like we

had to duplicate

Chef Ramsay's recipe exactly.

The sauce is a

grapefruit beurre blanc.

Absolutely spot on.

You have a palate.

What a weird experience.

Huh, babe?

I know my big weaknesses

now, because I know--

I now know the things

I have to work on.

I feel like I have gone

through the best part of life

and the worst part of life.

And I think that I've

learned more about myself.

HEATHER: I did it.

I told you I'd do it.

Just the look on their

face like, you did it!

It feels like a dream

that they're here.

Oh, I'm so glad they're here.

I wanted them to

see me so bad here.

All right, mom, I love you.

My mom's proud of

me no matter what.

So this is just kind of

like the cherry on a sundae.

ANNOUNCER: After a short

reprieve from the hell that

is Hell's Kitchen,

Virginia and Heather

are once again on their own.

VIRGINIA: Love you.

I love you too.

Bye.

Bye, guys.

Bye.

That was so great.

You got to see him, though.

Oh.

ANNOUNCER: It's a new

day in Hell's Kitchen

and it's back to business.

All that stands between the

finalists and their dream

is each other.

The game is really on now.

It all comes to service.

And when it gets down to

service, Virginia can't cut it.

And especially next to me--

I'll run her over.

Heather and I are so

equal but so different.

A lot of people

underestimate me,

but I'm going to use

my palate against her

because I know that's one

thing that she doesn't have.

[phone ringing]

This is Heather.

GORDON (ON PHONE):

Hello, good morning.

HEATHER: Good morning, Chef.

GORDON (ON PHONE): Listen up.

Party's over.

Get out here now--

both of you.

- Yes, Chef.

Bye.

All right, let's go.

[music playing]

ANNOUNCER: Due to the notoriety

of Gordon Ramsay and Hell's

Kitchen, the entertainment

press has turned out in droves

to meet this year's finalists.

I never thought I'd be

doing a press conference.

Are you serious?

And I thought for

sure he was going

to say, now go in the kitchen

and make everybody a bagel.

GORDON: Ladies and

gentlemen, welcome.

I'm very proud to introduce

Heather and Virginia.

Hell's Kitchen's two finalists.

And boy have we gone to hell and

back to get where we are today.

Out of these two only one

can win Hell's Kitchen.

We're open for questions.

And madam in the

back row-- please.

What were your thoughts

when you found out

what the prize was going to be?

I was like, oh, my god!

When they said it--

you know, Vegas.

I think that's so huge.

And, you know, you have

your competitors here

but there's bigger

competitors in Vegas.

More than I could ever ask for.

GORDON: Madam--

in the second row.

This question is for Virginia.

VIRGINIA: Yes.

With you being

newly married, how

will you deal with it if you

win and have to move to Vegas?

I married somebody

that's a chef as well.

So if I was to get the

restaurant in Vegas,

I would hire him.

[laughter]

Oh, dear.

Don't mix business

with pleasure.

Last question.

Sir.

Mark Long-- Fox Reality.

What did you guys

do on your off time

when you weren't

actually in the kitchen

getting berated by the chef?

[chuckles] Good question.

We made up a dance.

Can we see the dance?

No.

Yeah!

Let's show him.

GORDON: Who would

like to see the dance?

[applause]

Five, six, seven, eight.

[music playing]

VIRGINIA & HEATHER: (SINGING)

Jump on it, jump on it.

[applause]

I cannot believe

we did that dance.

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you so much for coming.

I can confirm that

one of these two

will be the winner

of Hell's Kitchen.

But before that can

happen, both of them

must face their

greatest test yet.

And that test starts now.

There we are.

I was like, ah!

Look it shocked me

because it, like, dropped

down-- the bar to the ground.

GORDON: Excellent.

Now, as you can see,

the restaurant has

been divided into two sections.

Virginia.

Yes, Chef.

This blue station

is your kitchen.

Yes, Chef.

That is going to

become your restaurant.

Yes, chef.

Heather-- the red

kitchen is your kitchen.

And this part of the

dining room is going

to become your dining room.

I'm in the red kitchen and

red is where I come from.

Happy?

Yes.

If I was any happier I'd

need a personal assistant.

Right.

Now both of you get back to

your dorm, gather your thoughts,

and think how your

restaurant will be.

Ladies and gentlemen, Heather--

VIRGINIA: Thank you

GORDON: --and Virginia.

HEATHER: Thank you.

GORDON: Thank you.

Oh, ladies?

He always does that.

When you're walking away,

he goes, oh, and by the way.

Clearly you're both

going to be head chefs.

Now look the part and come

back with your jackets on.

Thank you, Chef.

GORDON: Thank you.

Thank you.

[applause]

Uh-uh, that was cool.

I am beyond excited.

Heather's excited.

I'm so excited that

she's so excited.

And we're both excited!

HEATHER: Oh, this

is a nice jacket.

I love it.

It's written Mary

look at me, I'm cool.

So we're just supposed

to think of menu

ideas and colors and stuff?

HEATHER: The game

is really on now.

VIRGINIA: Well, yeah.

[music playing]

HEATHER: I'm going

to be able to see

my dream right in

front of my eyes,

and it's just an

amazing feeling.

I'm so happy I could die.

I want to win the restaurant

first and then I'll die.

VIRGINIA: This is definitely

my dream restaurant

that I'm creating here.

I want art on the plate.

As well-- put art on the

walls and really give people

a visual understanding

of who I am.

ANNOUNCER: With hours

to remodel Hell's Kitchen,

it's now time for

Heather and Virginia

to meet with their designers.

Right, ladies.

Now it's time to turn your

vision into a reality.

This is John Janavs.

VIRGINIA: Hi.

GORDON: He designed

Hell's Kitchen.

This man-- Albie Colotto--

this man designed Red Rock.

Now they're there to

help, create, and listen

to your sort of vision.

After that, I want you

to meet Jean Philippe

and give him an

insight to the uniforms

and what kind of

atmosphere and ambience

you want to create

in your restaurant.

Kitchen-wise-- Virginia--

- Yes, Chef?

You're going to be

working with Mary Ann.

- OK.

- She's your sous chef.

Work with her and

help design your menu.

I'll try not to

burn her or cut her.

Try not to burn

her or cut her?

Great, thank you.

Heather, you're

working with Scott.

HEATHER: Yes, sir.

Use him to help you

create your menu as well.

Thank you, sir.

We've got two very special

restaurants to get designed.

Let's get started.

VIRGINIA & HEATHER: Yes, Chef.

HEATHER: OK.

Let's go.

Why don't you give

us the big vision?

Tell us what your restaurant is.

I have this one version

of, like, three picture

frames of women cooking.

Maybe more than

just a picture.

Somehow maybe like

a video wall, where

it's actually-- could change.

Oh, that would be awesome.

I'm obsessed with

water, so I had

the idea of making the

walls look like a waterfall.

And it would look

like-- kind of like--

running water.

I want it to be young.

Mature clientele.

Sexy clientele.

So is it going to be a

family-style restaurant?

Definitely.

I love my family.

They have been my inspiration

and they've been in my pocket

for the past two days.

Thank you, guys, so much.

I'll see you guys

soon, thank you.

All right, bye bye.

Two spaces, two days.

Let's do it.

I want a little

bit of information

regarding the uniform.

Very outgoing,

trendy, colorful.

I don't like bright colors.

I like dark, dark, dark, dark.

You want to have

skirts for the ladies?

Yes.

The skirts-- do you

want them above the knee?

Yeah.

I was like, we've got to

make these girls look sexy.

I want long bistro aprons

with the crease down the front.

I want the servers

to be like ghosts.

[music playing]

You owe me a hug.

[laughs]

- OK now?

- Yeah.

Congratulations.

I'm not the biggest hugger,

but I've been hugging the crap

out of everyone lately.

How do feel right now?

Oh, my god.

It's amazing, isn't it?

I'm so excited!

- Congratulations.

- Thanks.

Are you surprised to see me?

- No.

I'm really, really excited

to work with Mary Ann,

because I think she and I see

eye-to-eye on a lot of things.

I want my signature

dish to be white fish.

The food is all going to be

reflecting on the person.

I am very vibrant, very

colorful, outgoing.

I want to keep it simple.

OK.

And concentrate

on the flavors.

I think this is my signature

dish-- the chicken roulade.

Definitely, OK.

The overall theme of my

menu is Virginia's brain.

So looking at this,

you'd want to eat here?

Hell, yeah, I would

eat there every night.

You don't understand--

you're going to wet

yourself when you eat this.

This is so good.

I haven't wet

myself in a long time,

I'm looking forward to it.

[laughs]

[music playing]

GORDON: OK, ladies.

Two seconds, please.

Quick.

The dream is now

becoming a reality.

How exciting is that?

Beyond excited.

It totally is.

OK, there is

other very important

business we need take care of.

Pack your bags,

we're going to Vegas.

Let's go.

Up!

Right now.

Quick.

Get your bags packed,

we're going to Vegas.

Oh, yes.

HEATHER: [giggling]

Jesus.

Can somebody mop the floor?

HEATHER: Oh, my god, no way!

She's excited.

Oh, my god, this day

could not get any better!

I'm freaking out right now.

I'm going to get

to see my dream.

That's just so cool.

[sobs]

Are you crying?

HEATHER: A little.

Aw.

I'm so happy!

I'm very excited

to go to Las Vegas.

It's so unpredictable-- I

have no idea what's next.

I have no idea what's

going to go on there.

No way!

Nice.

Oh, snap!

GORDON: In we go.

HEATHER: You never

know what trick

Chef Ramsay has up his sleeve.

Maybe he wants us to

build the restaurant.

I'll do it.

I've got to say I thought

you've both done bloody well.

VIRGINIA & HEATHER: Thank you.

Just think back to

when you presented

those signature dishes.

What's cooked on the plate?

The nuts are toasted.

The nuts are toasted?

Yes.

Well, f*ck me.

Heather.

Very thick on the outside so

it's very hard to sort of--

digest.

That was my first time

I ever got to meet you.

Did you think that

both of you would

be finalists in Hell's Kitchen?

- I didn't.

- From that dish?

No.

Virginia, I think you

have the record for winning

the most challenges.

Maybe, I think so.

All but one.

The winning team

is the red team.

Virginia, you're on a roll.

Now for the winner.

Virginia, you're

in the final three.

The winner of this challenge--

Virginia, you're going to spend

some quality time with me.

Quiet in the kitchen!

Yes, Chef.

Heather, remember in service

when you burned your hand?

You wouldn't stop cooking.

I knew I hurt myself.

GORDON: Yeah.

I knew because I

felt my fingers sear.

GORDON: Hand in there.

There's quail in

the oven, Mary Ann.

Two extra quails.

Not orders-- just extra quails.

I didn't want the girls to

lose because I made a mistake.

When it comes down

to challenges--

Virginia's awesome.

I've kicked her ass

every night in service.

I've blown past her.

I gone circles away from her.

She kicked my ass in challenges.

- Well done.

- Cheers, everybody.

- Thank you very much.

- Well done.

- Thank you very much.

Cheers.

Well done.

[music playing]

ANNOUNCER: Chef

Ramsay has brought

his two finalists to Las Vegas.

Not to celebrate but

to challenge them.

Right, ladies, I've

brought you to Vegas

to make sure that

you understand who

you're going to be cooking for.

Here I've reserved this kitchen

inside this restaurant--

both of you go in there, cook,

and serve these customers--

in this casino--

your signature dishes.

Are you ready?

- Yes.

- Yes, Chef.

Let's go.

ANNOUNCER: In this battle

of signature dishes,

it's Virginia's chicken roulade

with a beurre blanc sauce,

versus Heather's Chilean sea

bass with pureed cauliflower.

HEATHER: My signature dish

is definitely me on a plate

because it's refreshing.

I really the customers

are going to like it.

All right, all

right, all right.

My signature dish is stuffed

with the best Swiss cheese

you can get, prosciutto.

I want to win so

badly that I can

feel it in my heart and soul.

[music playing]

Ready?

VIRGINIA & HEATHER: Yes, Chef.

GORDON: Let's go.

ANNOUNCER: The

dishes are prepared.

And now Vegas

customers will determine

the winner of this challenge.

Here we go.

Sell it.

Hello, how are you?

I'm fine, thanks.

How are you?

I'm well, thank you.

This is my chicken roulade

with a beurre blanc sauce.

Mm.

VIRGINIA: Swirl it in the sauce.

Chilean sea bass with

cauliflower puree and carrots.

- Which one do you prefer?

- I like the sea bass.

Sea bass.

Thank you, sir.

Hi.

This is my chicken roulade

with a beurre blanc sauce.

ANNOUNCER: Nice.

It's really good.

Seared Chilean sea bass

with curried cauliflower

and carrots.

Yes.

Which one of the two dishes

would you go in the direction

for?

I'd probably pick

the seafood first.

Excellent.

Mm, I got to go there.

GORDON: So you

prefer the chicken?

I prefer the chicken.

Put the whole thing in your

mouth-- swirl it in the sauce.

I like the bass

a little better.

I actually like the chicken.

GORDON: Chicken.

Excellent, thank you.

Which one of those two

dishes do you prefer?

That one.

GORDON: Bass.

I prefer the first one.

GORDON: The chicken.

- Great!

- The bass?

- Yeah.

- I prefer this one.

- The chicken.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

GORDON: Give me give.

Give me five.

GORDON: Four for Virginia,

five for Heather.

It was me five

and Virginia four.

I was like, oh, no way.

ANNOUNCER: Halfway through the

challenge and Heather's bass

continues to lead over

Virginia's chicken.

Bass-- %.

Which one?

Sea bass.

- Sea bass.

- The chicken.

The chicken.

The chicken she said.

Definitely that one.

GORDON: Definitely the chicken.

- Definitely the chicken.

- The chicken.

The chicken!

GORDON: The chicken

Yes!

It was very close.

It was neck-and-neck

the whole time.

I poached the chicken.

I try to get my way by

flirting with the customers.

Oh, you poached it?

VIRGINIA: Yes, I did.

Oh, Oh, then I'll tell you.

I would go for the chicken.

You ate that like a pro.

I'm going to have

to go with the fish.

Virginia was

caressing the customers.

And, you know, I was like,

you've got to be kidding me.

- Which dish do you prefer?

- The bass.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I've got to go

with the first one.

GORDON: The chicken?

Virginia--

Yes?

If you get this, it's over.

Yes?

Heather, you need

this for a tie.

- Yes, Chef.

- Yes?

Let's go.

Come try my chicken roulade.

Smell it.

It smells fantastic.

GORDON: Explain about the puree.

Eat it.

Take it-- a whole thing in.

Which one do you prefer?

I think both of

them is very good.

GORDON: Both are very good.

That's very kind but I

need a decision from you.

Which one is--

I like the that one.

The best!

Oh, come on!

Thank you very much.

ANNOUNCER: With the

challenge tied up,

it's up to one final customer

to determine the winner.

This is my chicken roulade.

There's some--

HEATHER: Don't eat it all.

VIRGINIA: No, eat it all.

Pressure, pressure.

I know you love it.

GORDON: Which one of those

dishes did you prefer?

Oh.

Oh, I don't know.

I couldn't make the decision.

You can get chicken any day.

Ladies, stop.

Give him some time to think.

They were both excellent.

I'd have to order both of them.

I need a decision from you.

The chicken.

The chicken!

He likes the chicken everybody!

Well done.

That was very closely

contested there, yeah?

HEATHER: Losing the challenge--

it sucked.

You know, even though I'm

this well-rounded chef,

maybe I'll also lose.

Because Virginia has a palate

that's just untouchable.

Both of you, come with me.

I've got one more

thing to show you.

Let's go.

VIRGINIA: After

the challenge, Chef

Ramsay took us up to the rooftop

where you can see all of Vegas.

It was awesome.

I thought he was

going to be like, now

jump off the building if you

really want the restaurant.

This is it.

In hours from

now one of you will

be winning in Hell's Kitchen.

And this city here is going

to become your home town.

And I think back to

what it was like when

I opened my first

restaurant-- the tension,

the nerves, the pressure.

Extraordinary.

And I wanted to share

that moment with you

by saying well done.

And invite both

of you to London.

Here are the tickets.

- Oh, wow.

No way.

Tickets for you both and

an invitation to dinner--

my establishment in London--

to come and enjoy yourselves.

Oh, my god, thanks!

You've gotta be kidding me.

Because I wanted

to go to London,

I wanted to see his restaurant.

You'll see exactly

where I started

and what it meant to me when

I got my first restaurant.

I was so surprised.

I loved it.

That was such a kind

and generous gift.

GORDON: Yes?

- Awesome!

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

OK.

Let's get back to

Hell's Kitchen.

Yeah?

- Yes, Chef.

[music playing]

ANNOUNCER: With hours

before their newly remodeled

restaurants open

their doors, there

are some unexpected issues

for the chefs to deal with.

Hi, Albie.

Hey, how you doing?

Nice to see you.

Same here.

Heather, how are you?

- How are you?

- Good.

How's it going?

Some real good news and

we have some decisions

that we have to make.

We've got-- we've got a

few things to talk about.

Got a lot of

things to do, huh?

One of the big issues is

the plum color that you wanted

to do on the columns--

it's just really

coming out a little too dark.

Like if it's lighter, is it

going to go with this color?

We could do it

just a couple-- just

a couple of shades lighter.

- Yeah.

OK, perfect.

The stairs.

Yeah.

We're not able to get

the Plexiglas that we need.

We're trying to figure out a

way to give the stairs punch,

so we've thought about

introducing this teal color.

We couldn't get what we

wanted but we still made

something special out of it.

- OK.

That's fine.

One of the big issues

is the water wall.

We've just got to

really find out

about how we're getting the

water pumped into this thing.

There's a lot of

work to be done,

a lot of progress to be made.

And the waterfalls-- it's

definitely getting me nervous.

Honestly, I am stressed out.

What else?

Our upholstery guy does

not have the capacity

to re-upholster nine booths.

It's concerning

that, you know,

a lot of the things in the

restaurant aren't even done.

Everything could be wrong.

[music playing]

I don't know how fast

I'm going to fall asleep,

because it's like Christmas

Eve for me right now

and I'm just so excited.

I'm not going to

be able to sleep.

Oh, my god, there's just going

to be so much on my mind.

I can almost taste

Vegas right now.

It's so close.

And I'll be damned if I let

anyone take that away from me.

[music playing]

I just was really

excited when I woke up--

like it was Christmas day.

This is definitely one of

the biggest days of my life.

All right, you get to go on

here, little poker doodle.

Mr. Long Wellington.

I can't lie here.

ANNOUNCER: There's just hours

left before Heather or Virginia

will have their own restaurant.

But little do they know

the key to their future

lies in their past.

[music playing]

[yelling]

I bugged out.

I gave Rachel the biggest hug.

How are you?

Good, how are you?

I was really happy to see

Heather in the finals.

Virginia-- big surprise.

[inaudible]

Yo, breakfast, b*tches!

Giacomo!

VIRGINIA: Hi, Tom.

I didn't think Virginia was

going to get as far as she did.

I thought it was three

strikes and you're out.

Like me.

I didn't know you guys would

be walking in like that.

So are you guys going to,

like, help us today and stuff?

Better not be a

lot of work to do.

I knew that we were going

to have to pick our own teams.

And there's three

really strong people

and three really weak people.

I'm excited you guys are here.

I knew exactly who I

wanted in my kitchen.

I've got to rely on whoever is

in the kitchen to make my food.

I've really got to trust them.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

GORDON (ON PHONE):

Hi, good morning.

I'd like to see

you and Heather--

and all your friends-- in the

kitchen straight away, please.

OK, thanks.

Bye.

GORDON (ON PHONE): Bye.

[music playing]

Think you can open Hell's

Kitchen without K ?

It's been a while since

I've seen some of you.

Yes, Chef.

Giacomo.

Yes.

Dude, you don't have the

f*cking gas on, stupid.

GORDON: Giacomo!

Tom.

Tom, you're sweating

in the f*cking food.

Good to see you, big boy.

Thank you.

GORDON: Rachel.

Do you want to go home?

It-- it--

Man

Hello, Chef.

Chef, can I put on my uniform

and come back in the kitchen?

I think that is a good idea.

Garrett.

Come on, I've gotta

get-- get going.

What did I say to you

about taste, taste, taste?

Keith.

Keith, do me a favor--

just pull your pants

up a little bit, yes?

You got it, Chef.

I wear my underwear up

high and my pants low,

because that's how I rock them.

[laughter]

Good to see you all back.

Welcome back.

Ladies, these are the

people that you'll

be relying on for

the most important

night of your cooking career.

OK, Virginia.

Yes, Chef.

You won the challenge in

Vegas just by a fraction.

So you get to choose first.

VIRGINIA: OK.

Think-- the first person that

you'd like on your brigade.

Think about your decision

and think about it carefully.

Yes.

The first person I pick--

is you, Keith.

I'd rather be

on Heather's team

because Virginia

doesn't deserve it.

I personally don't think

you're ready to leave.

I personally think that you

have a hard-on for Virginia.

So f*ck her.

OK, Heather.

Again, crucial decision.

Take your time and tell me who

you would like on your team.

Rachel, Chef.

I knew who I wanted to get.

I'm really happy I have Rachel.

OK, Virginia--

second person that

you'd like on your team is who?

Um-- you, Tom.

Thank you.

GARRETT: Whoo!

It's Tommy Touch.

TOM: Thank you, Garrett.

I know how Tom works.

He wasn't that great

in the kitchen.

He didn't know

what he was doing,

he couldn't handle the pressure.

I'm so happy that

he's not on my team.

Wow.

- Look, he's already sweating.

- I'm feeling it.

Well, shit, it's hot over there.

OK, Heather, second person

you'd like on your team.

Who is it?

Sara, Chef.

GORDON: Sara.

Honored.

Thank you.

VIRGINIA: Sara and

I aren't friends.

I don't even consider

you a friend at all.

SARA: Oh, I'm not popular again.

Bummer.

I figured I'd get a lot

more response from Tom

than ordering Sara around.

So far, Heather--

all girls.

And Virginia-- all boys.

OK, Virginia-- third

and final person.

[music playing]

Giacomo.

I thought that just

giving Giacomo a chance

and not having Giacomo

be last would boost

his confidence a little bit.

Plus I like Giacomo's

attitude better.

All right, let's do this.

GARRETT: I was kind of

surprised they left me around,

and I ended up not

getting picked at all.

Garrett, please go

and join Heather's team.

GARRETT: I've had

respect for Heather

and it won't be very hard

to get motivated to work

my ass off for her.

I know exactly how to get

what I want out of Garrett.

OK, Virginia and Heather--

go back to your dorms and brief

your teams on your menu.

Let's go.

Off to the doors.

ANNOUNCER: With just under

hours to go before tonight's

dinner service,

Heather and Virginia

must now fulfill one of a head

chef's most crucial duties--

inspiring their team.

All right.

I wanted to pick people that

everybody thought was weak

and see what I could

do with you guys.

[music playing]

That's why you picked me?

No I felt that if I

did pick weak people,

you could carry them a little.

I'm really glad

you guys are here.

No matter what

differences everyone has--

just be really cool.

Sara and I have had

our crap back and forth.

(HELIUM VOICE) I told

you get back in the kitchen

and f*ck off.

You think it's funny just

cutting up and being a smart--

SARA: Yeah, I just

think you're a bitch.

We may not get along

outside of this kitchen,

but we want to see

Heather succeed.

I don't think Heather

has anything to worry about

and I'm a team player.

I was, like, picturing in my

head who I would want to pick,

and you guys are exactly it.

VIRGINIA: Starters-- three

of them-- jalapeno tortellini

stuffed with Manchego cheese.

I like this menu.

It's kind of [inaudible] style.

VIRGINIA: Herbs--

I think Virginia's

menu sounded great.

It's just a matter

of her executing it.

-

Appetizers-- everything

is wicked easy.

Every station is really light.

The meat station

only has one item.

That's it.

It's not chicken, is it?

Garrett, the chicken is raw.

Yes, Chef.

You're going to k*ll someone.

No.

I like Heather's menu

because she was smart about it.

I really think

Heather planned this

out and set us up for success.

I'm not going to put a

lot of stress on you guys.

And, obviously, you guys

do know that what I demand

is, like, perfection.

All right, listen.

If you win, you have

to guarantee something.

If there's money

involved, I'm going

to make sure that I do

everything in my power for you

to win.

If I win--

I know.

I don't have to give

you guys anything.

Listen, I want some money and

I want it right now in writing.

I just feel like bribes

don't make people work harder.

It's going to

make me work harder.

I'll give you the

money even though I

don't really believe in that.

I'll give each $ , .

All right.

I'm the only one that doesn't

have a job when this is over.

So, you know, $ ,

is always good to me.

ANNOUNCER: With only eight

hours to prep a brand new menu--

and a multimillion dollar

restaurant on the line--

Heather and Virginia are

pushing their teams to perform.

You guys, there's

tasting spoons.

Taste as much as

you can all day.

We are determined.

This is our chance

to get food out.

I feel very confident today.

My menu, my team,

throughout everyone--

the energy in the kitchen.

I'm very proud of the way

that things are going.

Everything done by

o'clock-- station's set up.

In the bank.

Book your flight today.

- Hey, Heather.

- Yes?

Can you come

here for a second?

HEATHER: Sure thing.

We have a pretty big issue.

These booths came out--

you can see it doesn't

fit on this side.

It's tight on that side.

We have it on this side tight.

If we just cut out--

cut this one little section.

JOHN: You OK if it's notched?

Yeah.

Just cutting a

corner will work

and then we don't have to

do a table in the middle.

Then we're just consistent.

Yeah.

It's a really good option.

Do what you

gotta do, you know?

OK, well, I think we've

got a solution to that.

- Yeah

- Awesome.

High five.

- We'll give you a holler--

Food's coming along great.

We're almost even set up.

If you need help-- holler.

JOHN: All right, we'll go do it.

It's a simple solution.

So by o'clock

everything has to be done

and we can go over

all the dishes.

I'm a little bit concerned

about Tom and Giacomo

when they get under pressure.

You're cooking in a burned

pan, you f*cking d*ck!

You don't know what's

going with the duck?

No, sir, I don't.

Oh, my god.

VIRGINIA: But I know that

all three of the boys

are going to give me

their best anyway.

I really want to see

them shine tonight.

You've got to make sure

that they're nice and clean,

because it's my pet peeve--

I can't stand that.

In the kitchen I

know what I'm doing,

but I'm concerned

about the dining room.

I'll be right back.

Hi, how are you, John?

- How are you?

- Nice to see you, Albie.

Hello.

What's up?

Well, um-- we're--

OK, what is it?

The water walls--

as you could see-- we

don't have water running yet.

We don't have the

material on there yet.

We haven't lit it.

We don't know if we're

going to get them to work.

The waterfalls should have

been up by now and they're not.

They might not even

be up when we open.

I'm trying to say it

calmly but I'm really worried

about opening tonight, frankly.

So what do you

guys want to do?

Give up and leave it like that?

No, no.

I mean, that's the problem.

I mean, we can't open

with it like this--

we can't give up like that.

It's a hole in the wall.

VIRGINIA: I'm a

little stressed out.

You focus on the food

and we'll focus on this.

ANNOUNCER: With only four hours

to go before the doors open,

both dining rooms are

still way behind schedule.

Luckily, the kitchens

are running smoothly.

Looks good.

Thanks, Chief.

ANNOUNCER: The finalists are

preparing three starters, three

entrees, and three desserts.

Heather's appetizers include

a warm goat cheese tart

with candied pecans, and her

entrees feature her signature

spiced Chilean sea bass.

The centerpiece of

Heather's dessert menu

is a warm bread pudding with

caramel and vanilla ice cream.

Ready?

HEATHER: Yes.

Thank you.

Salad?

Salad is a chicken salad.

There's Napa cabbage, butter

lettuce, and some spring onion.

Unfortunately, the chicken

looks like it's been chewed up.

Regurgitated, chewed, and

it shows me that no one's

cared the way they sliced that.

- Yeah.

- Next?

This is my sea bass.

We put a little curry

oil in the cauliflower.

It's nice but it's too boring.

And tonight is not

a boring night.

Tonight has to be--

up there.

OK?

That looks stunning.

My chocolate empanada.

GORDON: Yeah, that

looks stunning.

Absolutely stunning.

- Thank you very much.

GORDON: Thank you.

- Thank you.

Very good.

He had suggestions-- which I'm

totally accepting all of them.

I'll work however long

it takes to do it.

- OK, Virginia.

- Yes, Chef.

GORDON: Here we go.

ANNOUNCER: For her big night,

Virginia's starters will

feature a jalapeno tortellini.

Her entrees will include short

ribs braised in red wine.

And for dessert an old

fashioned ice cream sundae.

VIRGINIA: This is my tortellini.

Presentation looks lovely.

Thank you.

Center the tortellini.

Spot on, really nice.

VIRGINIA: Thank you.

Just be careful of the

thickness of the pasta.

Foie gras is nice.

And I don't know

what they're doing--

these little buggers here.

I mean, it's a quail egg.

What you're doing is putting

things that look great

on there, but

you're not thinking

about things that taste great.

For the palate you have I don't

expect to see that on there

right now--

a day like today.

So do something about that.

The short rib?

Braised short ribs

on top of parsnip puree

and honey mustard sauce.

I like that.

I quite like that.

VIRGINIA: You do?

Good, well done.

Thank you.

He pretty much liked my menu.

Just a few different

tweaks and-- and it's

all his opinion as well, it's

nothing that I have to do.

Virginia's the typical

creative Californian--

out there.

Heather's a very gritty,

hard ass New Yorker.

You can't think

of two menus that

are at the opposite end of

the spectrum from each other.

So two completely

different dining spaces.

[music playing]

ANNOUNCER: While the

workers on Virginia's side

of the restaurant

are still scrambling

to make her waterfall work--

Heather, let's go

into the dining room.

ANNOUNCER: Heather's

restaurant is ready for Chef

Ramsay's scrutiny.

[music playing]

GORDON: The feel is what?

It's an inspiration by family.

I want everyone to

know how outgoing I am.

And I love art.

GORDON: You've got the

screens in the booths.

Tell me about this

bit over here.

The wall right here is

the video screen of myself.

I want to get that across--

that passion I have.

I want everyone to see what

I went through to get here.

GORDON: You've kept

the colors very light.

It's very vibrant.

You know, you feel it.

I want it to be

like a white canvas,

so everything that

comes is an art dish.

Yeah, OK.

But don't take this personally--

- OK.

One thing I'm not

very happy about

is the graffiti on the wall.

HEATHER: It's dry erase so you

can just wipe it right off.

It's just

everything's so elegant.

You've done a really nice

cool job of making this look

quite hip, young, vibrant.

I just don't know if I

want to sit and read that.

I'd rather see a nice comment

from you-- to the customers

personally-- via a menu.

HEATHER: The chef--

he wasn't a total fan

of the graffiti on the wall.

I'm really concerned about that.

- Ready

- Thank you.

Yes.

- Let's go.

Virginia!

Virginia.

- Yes?

Can we just have

you for two seconds?

Sure.

ANNOUNCER: With only

minutes before the doors open,

Virginia is about to find out

the fate of her waterfall.

JOHN: We've got news for you.

VIRGINIA: OK.

All the holes

have been filled.

OK.

JOHN: We've got water.

I'm feeling like you're

going to be complete.

Cool, that's great.

I think it looks great.

I'm really excited and now I

know where to take a shower.

My waterfalls are awesome.

I was very concerned

about them but everything

ended up working out.

Thanks, guys.

It really adds something

special to the room.

GORDON: Virginia?

Mosey through the dining room.

I'd like to see

what you've done.

Yeah?

Let's go.

Quick.

What are you trying to tell

them just as they sit down?

I want them to be

comfortable and feel

like they're in somewhat

of a fine dining situation.

Uh-huh, because

it's sumptuous.

It's rich.

VIRGINIA: Yeah.

These sort of

nice sedated colors.

The main theme is supposed to

be, like, the desert and water.

GORDON: Because it's like--

VIRGINIA: And the desert sunset.

That

There's water running

off there, isn't it?

Yeah.

It looks cool

when you're sat here

and you're looking at

this nice array of lights.

You know-- I mean,

one thing ladies

enjoy joy in dining rooms

is being lit properly.

And one thing you've got right

here the lighting-- really

nice glow on their faces.

That's interesting

that you know that.

What I like about

this-- it's cozy.

Be happy with it.

- I'm psyched.

GORDON: Good.

And I just want it to

be open and I want to get

that, you know, full board.

And I want people to

be working, and rolling

and moving, and doing it.

Speed it up.

Let's go, speed it up.

All right, guys, we're

going to be starting

in just a couple minutes.

So exciting.

ANNOUNCER: Just minutes away

from the most important service

of their lives, Chef Ramsey

has final words of advice

for Heather and Virginia.

Virginia, Heather--

two seconds, please.

Both of you are one

dinner service away

from winning your

very own multimillion

dollar restaurant in Vegas.

Tonight, I'm going to be

monitoring everything-- what

goes on the plate, what

comes off the plate,

your leadership qualities.

When you talk to brigade--

they're not your friends.

They are your staff now.

It's your staff, your

team, your big night.

Get it right.

Now spend some time

with your teams.

Tell the, exactly what you want.

Good luck to you both.

- Thanks.

GORDON: Go and do

the briefing now.

Good luck.

Thanks, you too.

All right, guys.

Where's Rachel?

Over here real quick.

All right, um--

Giacomo?

Opening the doors in

literally three minutes.

Be strong for me tonight.

I'm counting on you.

You're my blood, you're

my engine right now.

HEATHER: Communication

is the key tonight.

No frustration, no yelling.

I'm the one doing the yelling.

Have fun tonight.

If you burn something, don't

serve it to me-- redo it.

For the next four hours

I'm not your friend.

I'm your boss.

On the count of five,

say that's my boy blue.

One, two, three, four, five.

ALL: That's my boy blue!

ALL: Go red team!

Whoo!

ANNOUNCER: Tonight,

there is excitement

in Hollywood over

the debut of Gordon

Ramsay's two newest proteges.

Virginia's desert oasis

and Heather's urban bistro

will go head-to-head.

Don't slam us.

I won't slam you guys.

You've seen all

these guys rush.

It's not pretty.

Yeah, we don't do well.

Let me be on the

winning team for a change.

Even a blind

squirrel finds a nut.

Today's the day Tom

Pauley finds a nut.

ANNOUNCER: Tonight's

dinner service

will determine who will

become the executive chef

at a multimillion

dollar restaurant

in the billion dollar Red

Rock Resort in Las Vegas.

Breathe.

We've got this in the bag.

Yes, ma'am.

GORDON: Giacomo.

- Yes, Chef.

GORDON: You're cooking

the fish, yeah?

- Yes, Chef.

- Oven's on?

- Yes, Chef.

- Are you sure?

Positive.

I checked it four times already.

ANNOUNCER: Feedback

from tonight's diners

is more important

than ever, as it

will help decide

which chef deserves

the opportunity of a lifetime.

I'll have the

scallops, please.

Steak-- medium well, please.

All right, listen up.

Four covers, table -- three

soups, one chicken salad.

Entrees-- three New

Yorks, one bass.

Yes, Chef.

So everything just started.

First they get in the kitchen.

It's vibrant, it's

moving, and it's fast.

Everyone's short,

sharp, punchy, and

there's a really nice response.

You feel quite secure in there

because it sounds positive.

Virginia?

First order in.

Yes, thank you very much.

First order in.

- Louder.

- Louder, please.

Louder, please.

Four guests, table .

Two scallops, two tortellinis.

Entrees-- two

snapper, one chicken

roulade and one short rib.

All right, move.

Move your ass!

Yes, Chef.

Thank you very much.

So blue-- very

calm, very sedate,

and they've got the same

energy as the red team.

Which is not a really good

positive sign before service.

All right, up to

the pass right now.

Let's go.

HEATHER: I don't

hear any talking.

I want to hear that countdown--

four minutes, three minutes,

two minutes.

- Yes, Chef.

Yes, Chef.

GORDON: Heather?

Yes.

Very important

customers in tonight.

Very.

Yes.

ANNOUNCER: Unbeknownst to

the chefs, the president

of the billion dollar

Red Rock Resort

will be sampling

food from each menu,

and giving Chef Ramsay

his recommendation.

Quality control, yes?

Yes, Chef.

Everything, yes?

Yes, Chef.

Get this down.

I need those apps now!

Right now in my hand.

Let's go.

Tarts, please.

I want this so frickin' bad--

I'm not going to

take it laying down.

I mean, I'm going to give

this girl a fight tonight.

Table , please.

ANNOUNCER: With Heather

determined to get off

to a fast start,

appetizers are leaving

the red kitchen in a hurry.

Table .

ANNOUNCER: Meanwhile,

in the blue kitchen

things aren't moving

quite as fast.

GORDON: Food's hanging around

too long there, Virginia.

VIRGINIA: Yes, Chef.

I'm most nervous about

idiots on the hot line

screwing up my food.

GIACOMO: Virginia-- You

need help, say the word, OK?

VIRGINIA: I got it.

I got it.

I got it.

Virginia was spending so

much time plating these dishes,

the food was just sitting there

and it was just a big mess.

ANNOUNCER: Virginia is

meticulously plating

each and every dish herself.

Want me to finish this?

Sauce around it?

VIRGINIA: Wait, hold on.

Don't take control here.

ANNOUNCER: But her

need for perfection is

causing a backup at the pass.

Start talking to your team.

We're slowing down, yes?

ANNOUNCER: Meanwhile, out

of of Heather's diners

have already received

their appetizers.

It looks amazing, right?

ANNOUNCER: But the real

test is in the tasting.

It's not hot enough.

It's not?

It doesn't have

a lot of flavor.

Let me do something

else instead.

Chef?

- Yes?

JEAN PHILIPPE: They

didn't care for it.

They didn't care for it.

No, they were

expecting it to be warm.

And then a little bit more

flavor into it as well.

OK.

So the gentleman wants to

have the scallop soup instead.

One scallop soup

on the fly, please.

Scallop soup.

Mistakes are definitely

not even an option for me.

I do not want to walk

away not a winner tonight.

Everything that you

touch, see, call out

is quality control.

One dish has back already.

Lift them up and get a grip.

Yes?

HEATHER: Yes, Chef.

No dishes are

coming back tonight.

Not one more.

Sarah, make sure you're warming

that tart all the way through.

Understand?

Yes, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: While Heather

tries to stabilize her catch,

Virginia is also

having quality control

issues with her brigade.

Giacomo, less salt

and more walnut oil.

Less salt and more

walnut oil, Chef.

You know what?

Redo the salad.

Bring me another one

as fast as you can.

GORDON: I'm glad you made

that decision, you know that.

For now we're slow, but one

thing you have done-- hey--

is control the quality.

But get them fired up

a little bit, yeah?

VIRGINIA: Yes.

- Come on, Giacomo.

Wakey, wakey, big boy.

VIRGINIA: You guys,

you have to speed up.

My panties are in a bunch.

I'm years old, I don't

need anybody to get me

all psyched up to go do my job.

You know what I mean?

ANNOUNCER: It's an hour

into dinner service

and Heather has served

most of her appetizers.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

ANNOUNCER: In the blue

kitchen the good news

is Virginia isn't letting any

subpar food leave her kitchen.

This-- this is raw.

Really?

Just-- you know what?

Just look at it-- it's raw.

ANNOUNCER: The bad news

is-- thanks to Giacomo--

not much is leaving the

blue kitchen at all.

Giacomo, how long

for that snapper?

seconds.

VIRGINIA: I need it right now.

seconds, Chef.

I was running around

like a jackass.

I was kind of the beotch--

if you will-- of

the whole group.

I'm getting really concerned

because nothing is coming out.

VIRGINIA: Yes, Chef.

GORDON: Look at the red team.

They've got them on the hot

plate dressing the food.

You can't be that isolated.

VIRGINIA: Yes, Chef.

I'm telling you now--

for your own sake--

you cannot get stranded.

All right.

I'm going to need you to help

me plate with this, Keith.

KEITH: But I gotta

cook the next ones.

VIRGINIA: No, you don't.

You need to help me plate

because I'm getting behind

up here and I need your help.

Keith is bothering

me a little bit.

I think he's taking advantage of

me because he knows I need him.

KEITH: All right,

give me the plates.

I'll plate it.

VIRGINIA: Pull the f*cking

plates out yourself.

Yup.

Why should we do all the work?

And she just stands

there and yells at us,

and then she gets a restaurant?

What the f*ck is that?

Here you go.

VIRGINIA: Thank you.

ANNOUNCER: After finally

delegating to her team,

Virginia is closing

the gap on Heather

and has served out

of of her appetizers.

SERVER: Bon appetite.

Wow, that is so good.

ANNOUNCER: Diners in

Virginia's restaurant

seem to be enjoying

their appetizers.

But will she be able to

live up to the standards

of the Red Rock president?

I think the pasta

was a little thick,

and it took away a

little of the flavor.

ANNOUNCER: Meanwhile,

some of Heather's diners

have strong opinions as well.

Both pro--

I know this soup was

phenomenal I really do.

ANNOUNCER: --and con.

It's like warm saltiness.

You're not happy?

How long on two bass?

Two minutes, Chef.

HEATHER: What is wrong with it?

Didn't like it again.

OK.

Argh!

She wants the scallop

soup instead, please.

Scallop.

One scallop soup on the fly!

Go light on that dressing.

Go light, light, light

on that dressing.

It's coming back.

I just kept on screaming

at Sara because she

kept on messing things up.

If you screwed up my

chance, I'll come after you.

There's seasoning on

every salad, right?

SARA: Every salad.

Then why are we

getting complaints

that there's no seasoning?

You know, the bitch switch

went on all over the kitchen.

Just tone it down a little bit.

Chill out.

ANNOUNCER: With two dishes

having already been returned

to the kitchen,

Heather knows she

has very little room for error.

HEATHER: It's medium rare.

Let's have rare.

- You want medium rare?

- Yeah.

- Give it, give it, give it.

Get me a Me, medium

rare right now.

I'm not your friend for the

next four hours, I'm your boss.

This has to go perfect.

Rachel--

One second.

HEATHER: Steaks, Rachel.

Right away!

Heather's riding my ass.

She didn't let up on

us the whole time.

Rachel, I need those steaks.

Coming at you now, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: Heather seems

to have straightened out

her quality control problem.

HEATHER: These

steaks are perfect.

Thank you, Chef.

ANNOUNCER: And her

efforts are paying off.

It's cooked perfectly.

It's just how I like it.

ANNOUNCER: But some opinions

are more crucial than others.

Table -- they want to

see their main courses.

There's-- they will be ready.

It's coming out.

ANNOUNCER: Although Virginia has

served most of her appetizers,

she's trying to play

catch up on her entrees.

Yes, please,

everybody-- speed it up.

Speed it up.

Let's get through this.

Come on.

Tom's standing there

playing with himself.

- Why are you standing there?

- I'm waiting--

Don't ever stand there.

Listen, don't--

don't even go there.

All right?

Plate the f*cking things.

VIRGINIA: Two snapper,

two short rib.

Right.

Tom, if you're

standing there, I

want to hear you repeat it,

repeat it, repeat it, please.

I can take all

the shit from a man

but I don't like being

bossed around by a woman.

Tom, don't f*cking

hold the line down.

It's like listening

to my ex-girlfriend.

I-- I don't know.

Tom-- two chicken

roulade, two snapper.

How long?

TOM: They're coming.

GIACOMO: seconds.

Right now, Chef.

TOM: [grunt] Shit.

GIACOMO: You OK, Tom?

TOM: Damn it.

GIACOMO: Burn or cut?

TOM: Cut.

Aw, shit.

MARY ANN: Bad?

TOM: Yeah.

MARY ANN: Medic!

Here, wrap this up in a towel.

Go, get out of here.

TOM: f*ck!

m*therf*cker.

Two chicken roulade,

two snapper-- how long?

Hold off on those two

snapper for a second.

Tom cut himself.

Son of a bitch.

Tom cut himself and I'm really

stressed out about that.

[sigh]

Come Come on, where are they?

Come on, man.

f*ck.

Fire this.

See how these are all scallops?

I'm not firing that right

now because I'm nervous.

Give me-- help me

with some band aids.

Come on, somebody, I'm

bleeding through this shit.

Come on.

I just want--

Come on, hurry up.

Yeah, show me.

Oh, come on.

- I'll be all right, man.

Yeah, I know that.

But right now I think

that kitchen needs you.

You're OK?

I know, I'm-- I'm--

Rather big drama queen.

Come on.

You know, if someone hurts

themselves and you start going,

oh, you're a drama queen,

you p*ssy-- blah, blah, blah.

I'm like, what's

that about, dude?

Let's go.

Drama queen, my ass.

Come on.

GIACOMO: You ready?

OK, hold on.

Come on, get out of here.

What do I need?

Two chicken

roulades, two snapper.

Two snapper-- eight minutes.

You need--

I'm ready, I'm ready.

Let me know.

All right, I just

need to cut it?

- You all right?

- Yeah, I was just--

I was cleaning the knife off and

it went right through the rag.

Tom, no point in

running back there

like little f*cking rhinoceros.

Get a grip, yes?

So then how long?

Two chicken roulade,

two snapper-- how long?

Two minutes.

Considering Tom had

about three things to do,

he just couldn't really

grasp what was going on.

Service, please.

That's table six.

Speed it up, speed it up.

ANNOUNCER: In an

effort to catch up,

Virginia pushes out entrees.

It's really yummy.

ANNOUNCER: And her potential

boss weighs in on her efforts.

FEMALE DINER: Is it good?

Yeah, she did a great job.

She's back in the competition.

Vegas, come on.

You can do this-- come on.

Four chicken, one short rib.

Bring it up now.

What's with the roulade?

Hey, how about

move your big fat

ass and look on the f*cking--

don't start that bullshit now.

It's like a broken

record-- about the sweating,

and you're fat, you know.

And this and that.

And I'm like, you

know, I am what I am

and I'm not a bad

looking guy, really.

We're going to bang out

these entrees right now.

Tom, you better be ready.

TOM: I'm on it.

Service, please.

ANNOUNCER: By pushing

her brigade to the limit,

Virginia has finally managed

to serve all of her entrees.

But perhaps a

little too quickly.

Service, please.

- What's the matter?

- They don't like it.

It's-- it's bland.

It's too much oil in the plate.

OK, what do they want instead?

They would like the same.

VIRGINIA: All right.

Fire two snapper.

How long?

Keith, was there any

more snapper left

after you cleaned the fish?

No.

OK.

Do we have any more snapper

at all in the house?

Son of a bitch.

I pretty much ran

out of everything

and I didn't have a back up.

Nope.

m*therf*cker.

We don't have any f*cking food.

ANNOUNCER: While

Virginia has run out

of food to replace

her returned entree,

Heather has started desserts.

Come on!

We need to get these

desserts out right now.

RACHEL: Yes, Chef.

- Yes, Chef.

Now I've come to

serve the desserts.

And this is where

it's absolutely

crucial in any service that

you keep that momentum up.

HEATHER: Give me

those empanadas now.

SARA: I'm looking for the mint.

The mint is down

below the station.

SARA: Behind.

This is not how we

plated in the beginning.

This is not how we plated.

The berries go like

this off the side,

the quenelle goes right here.

SARA: Ugh.

What?

GARRETT: Hurry, Sara, hurry.

Come on.

HEATHER: Let's move.

SARA: Turned down.

Better?

Look, Sara.

Sara, look-- they

don't look alike.

Take it back with

you and do it again.

SARA: This is Ret*rded.

This is so stupid.

I made a mistake but it's

not the end of the world.

I would say "big deal"

but that would probably

land me a punch in the snotbox.

Now we got all the

cream underneath on them.

Look.

Guys, watch

underneath the plates.

Get them cleaner.

You shouldn't be standing

there cleaning their mess.

Wipe the bottom

of those plates.

Make this perfect.

Perfect, boys and girl.

ANNOUNCER: While

Heather's temper

is running short with her staff,

Virginia is just running short.

I'm really concerned

about the fact

that we have no

food for the table.

They don't want anything

else main course wise.

They just want to have

their dessert at table six.

OK, table six.

Fire dessert on table

six and make it perfect.

ANNOUNCER: With

both kitchen having

ups and downs this evening,

each chef is determined

to have a strong finish.

Perfect!

Let's end with a bang.

VIRGINIA: That's it.

Get the other desserts

going, going, going.

I want first,

followed by .

Yes, Chef.

One table at a time.

VIRGINIA: Don't wash your hands.

Speed it up, speed it up.

Service, please.

Service, please.

Table .

Table .

Almost a complete service!

The bread pudding was

just absolutely phenomenal.

VIRGINIA: You know how to

plate it and make it look sexy?

HEATHER: Come on,

finish that ticket.

Where is it?

Go, go, go, go, go.

I don't know where

you're at, honey.

Giacomo, read the

freaking ticket!

Come on!

Table .

Last--

- That's the last table.

- Yes, Chef.

- Wipe them down.

- I need everybody's help.

Let's not fade out here, this

is the most important part.

Hot fudge sundae-- you

know, it's very good.

Service, please.

Table .

Two ice cream

sundaes right here.

Guys, nice job.

Thank you very much.

Nice job.

Thank you very much for

all of your help tonight.

Here you go.

- Thank you.

I tried to help Virginia win

because I want to win $ , .

Honestly, thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Nice job.

Nice job, nice job.

Salute.

Thanks, everybody.

Chin-chin.

[music playing]

Give each other a

round of applause.

OK.

Virginia.

- Yes, Chef.

- Heather.

- Yes, Chef.

- Well done.

Thank you, Chef.

Thank you.

OK, time to get real.

And time to get serious.

Virginia.

Yes, Chef.

Heather.

Yes, Chef?

My decision will

be greatly influenced

by someone that you did not

know was in the dining room

this evening.

Scott.

[music playing]

- Hi, Chef.

- Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Ladies, this is Scott Kreeger.

Hello.

The president of the

billion dollar Red Rock Resort

in Vegas.

He was dining from both menus

and his comments will weigh

heavily on my decision tonight.

Scott, just give us a quick

insight to your experience

from both menus, please.

Heather, your sea bass dish--

delicate presentation,

exquisite, wonderful dish.

Thank you

Virginia-- short ribs--

best I've ever had.

Thank you, Chef --

or thank you, Scott.

You're welcome.

So I think you guys

did a great job.

I've got to tell you-- this is

a really, really tough decision

right now.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, Chef.

I appreciate that.

Thank you, my pleasure.

OK.

Virginia and Heather say

goodbye to your staff.

Go back to the dorm

and I will let you know

when I've made my decision.

Yes, Chef.

Good bye.

Thank you.

- Good luck.

- Good job.

Thank you so much.

I think we kicked ass tonight.

Giacomo and Tom

have a reputation

of being the weak

links and I wanted

to be successful with them,

because I thought that that

would make me look better.

And that's what I did tonight.

I love you.

RACHEL: Bye.

Love you.

RACHEL: I know.

I had a great, great crew.

I'm really, really

proud of them.

You know, even if I don't win I

had a great restaurant for one

night.

[music playing]

- That's it.

- That's it.

- Over.

- Over.

I'm nervous about tonight.

I'm excited, I'm

happy, I'm sad--

I'm not sad, what

am I talking about?

I'm freaking amped.

So I think I lost.

I think I lost.

Going up against Virginia--

she has nine lives.

I have no idea

what Chef Ramsay's

decision is going to be.

ANNOUNCER: Chef Ramsay's

decision tonight

will be based upon

customer comment

cards, Scott

Kreeger's evaluation,

and his own observations.

I want to hear that

countdown-- four minutes,

three minutes, two minutes.

Yes, Chef.

Yes, Chef.

I'm getting really concerned

because nothing is coming out.

They didn't care for it.

They didn't care for it?

No.

You know what?

Redo the salad.

Bring me another one.

GORDON: I'm glad you made

that decision, you know that.

I honestly think you won.

I honestly think you did.

I honestly think you did.

I honestly think you did.

[knocking]

Heather and Virginia--

the chef would

like to see you guys upstairs.

Let's go.

I'm not too

confident right now.

I'm nervous I might not

take it home tonight.

Heather puts up

a tough fight and I

have no idea who won tonight.

I have no frickin' idea.

Period.

Ladies.

On a personal note from me--

well done to you both.

Thank you, Chef.

Heather, you started out

as a sort of young girl.

The way you've matured is

extraordinary for your age.

Thank you, Chef.

Virginia, you've got

something quite extraordinary.

You can't buy that palate.

Thank you.

That's unique.

It's a gift.

I've read all the

customer comment cards,

I've studied those cards.

They show a very slight

edge in favor of one of you.

And what I mean slight--

I mean slight.

And I've made my decision.

One of the most

difficult decisions I've

ever made in my entire life.

Behind you are two doors.

The person whose door opens is

the winner of Hell's Kitchen.

In my hand are two keys.

The winner's key will not

only open one of these doors,

it is also the key to your very

own restaurant in Las Vegas.

Virginia.

Thank you, Chef.

Heather.

Thank you, Chef.

Ladies, turn around, please.

[music playing]

I think I'm going to win.

I can just feel it.

I don't know, it's weird.

It's like how do you

know when you're in love?

You just know.

If I don't win Vegas

tonight, I will be heartbroken.

Put your keys in the door.

On my count to three,

you will turn your keys.

[music playing]

One, two, three.

Congratulations.

[crowd screaming]

HEATHER: Oh, my god!

Yeah!

Extraordinary.

And I really mean that.

You have nothing-- ever--

to be ashamed about.

[crowd cheering]

VIRGINIA: Heather.

HEATHER: Oh, my god!

Congratulations, baby.

I feel totally

happy for Heather.

I trust Chef Ramsey's

decision and I know one

day I'll be as good as Heather.

Take a deep breath, girl.

Nice job.

Hug your dad.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you!

HEATHER: Thank you very much.

GORDON: Heather

won Hell's Kitchen

because of her determination.

She stuck to what she knew best

and she controlled her kitchen

from start to finish.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, my god.

Never thought I'd win.

I'm so happy.

No, thank you.

I cannot believe I won.

Thank you, guys.

Oh, my god.

Feels like a dream.

I can't believe this!

Oh, my god.

GORDON: Heather?

Come here.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies and gentlemen, please.

The winner of Hell's Kitchen--

Heather.

[cheering]

Yeah!

Cheers!

Yeah.

I knew you could do it.

I get to live my dream.

I have my own restaurant now!

My life has just

changed drastically.

GORDON: Heather clearly has

great leadership qualities.

And this-- for

-year-old cook--

is a phenomenon.

This woman is going

to be a big success.

[music playing]

On behalf of Red Rock Resort,

I'd like to introduce Heather--

the winner of Hell's Kitchen

and our new executive chef.

[applause]

How are you?

Hi.

Hi.

[music playing]

I'm completely lost.

I'm going to cry.

I didn't think I would

make it here this fast.

I thought I would be

like , before I

got to have my own

restaurant and everything.

[laughter]

I'm very happy my

parents are here.

We've been through a lot so

this is dedicated to them.

It's definitely as much their

restaurant as it is mine.

It's all for you, baby.

I love you, daddy.

It's all for you.

And to Gordon Ramsay--

especially to him-- he put

me through hell, literally.

Thank you very much.

Cheers.

GORDON: My work is done.

It's been a phenomenal journey.

I'm ready for the

next challenge.

So f*ck you all.

[laughs]

[theme music]

Walnuts is with the scallops.

What did I say to you

about taste, taste, taste?

Right now this is what I suggest

you do-- buy a restaurant,

put one table in there.

Any more than that--

you'd be f*cked.

I'm in the kitchen with Muppets.

If you saute scallops

in a non-stick pan,

they won't stick.

That's why it's called

f*cking non-stick!

God bless America.

[music playing]
