21x10 - Everyone's Taco'ing About It

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on Hell's Kitchen...

- Line up, please
- [Brett] Oh, my God

It was the first ever
Hell's Kitchen Carne-val

- Oh, wow
- [narrator] And Chef Ramsay decided...

Joining the Red Team will be Brett

Oh!

- ...to even out the teams
- Hey, ladies

[narrator] After some fun and games...

I've never seen someone
whack with two hands

...the chefs tried to get creative
with their cuts of beef

[Sakari] We gotta nail the temps, guys

- [narrator] Vlad's rib cap...
- Great sear on there

...and Alejandro's New York strip...

- One of the best strips I've tasted
- Thank you, Chef

- ...scored for the Blue Team
- [Ramsay] Congratulations, Alejandro

[narrator] But a rare mistake from Alex...

[Ramsay] Looks unfinished visually

I made a beurre blanc
and I left it on the vas

...allowed Sommer...

- I love the demi. Good job
- Thank you, Chef

...to clinch victory for the Red Team

- Congratulations
- [all] Thank you, Chef

[narrator]
During steak night dinner service...

- [diner] Whiskey for dessert
- And for breakfast

...the Red Team's newest member, Brett...

- It's still cold. Needs longer
- Yes, Chef

...and their oldest member, Tara...

- That's blue. That's not even rare yet
- [Tara] Yes, Chef

- Get it in the oven!
- Yes, Chef

...struggled with undercooked proteins

Come on

[narrator] In the Blue kitchen,
Alejandro sank the fish station...

[Ramsay] Come here, all of you. Come here!

That's not pink, that's raw

...and Vlad used a cake tester
to check his meat

Enough's enough
This is f*cking embarrassing

[narrator] In spite of completing service,

neither team was worthy
of being called a winner

- Definitely not a good service
- No

[narrator] The Blue Team nominated...

- Vlad, Chef
- ...and...

- Alejandro
- ...while the Red Team chose...

- Brett, Chef
- ...and...

- Me, Chef
- ...but in the end,

- Chef Ramsay sent home...
- Vlad

...ending his chance of becoming head chef
at Hell's Kitchen, Caesars Atlantic City

[narrator] And now the continuation
of Hell's Kitchen

- Get out of here
- [all] Yes, Chef

I'm glad that Chef Ramsay believes in me
and that's all that matters

I knew my team didn't support me
and I'm glad they finally told him that

because he can see
what two-faced people they are

Do you want to speak as a team or no?

- I think we should
- Yeah

I can't trust 'em at all
They talk nice to my face,

but I don't know what they say
when they go back to their dorm rooms

That's the difference
from being and being

[Sommer]
I never gave up on you as a teammate

I know you're strong,
but I do see you get flustered

I get that, but to have every person say,

"I do not believe in her."
That f*cking sucks

We didn't say we didn't believe in you
We said you don't communicate

[Sommer]
There is times you don't communicate

He said, "Your team gave up on you."

Because of your communication

I never gave up on you
I need you to get that out of your head

- Yeah
- [Sommer] Because...

He said to me,
"Your entire team gave up on you."

"We have your back." Bullshit. You don't

I just need to know you guys don't think...

You want me out

[Sommer] No, I don't think that

It sucks to have to hear that

I fully believe in everybody on this team

We have to rub Tara's back
and console her

She's the oldest one on the team
and she's acting the most immature

- f*ck
- [Sommer] Yeah

It's gonna be hard to work with her now
because she has this set mentality

- that we f*cking don't like her
- [Brett] Yeah

Just have to try
to pump her up at least a little bit

Yeah, for sure

Tomorrow's a new day

[Abe]
Hello, is somebody in there? Wake up!

[Abe laughing]

[Sommer] I think I've had enough of Abe

That voice...
I don't wanna hear it anymore

I'm gonna crush you. Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Kind of a lot sometimes
Especially at : a.m

As Abe gags on his toothbrush...

A lot of people get annoyed by Abe

He has this, like, supervillain laugh
Like... [cackling]

[Abe cackling]

[mimics Abe]

[mimics Abe]

[mimics Abe]

He thinks it's just hilarious,
and I'm just annoyed

You have to be able to read the room
You're on ten. I'm at, like, a two

[Abe cackling]

[Alex] Let's go

Let's go, Chefs. Lineup, please. Quickly

- Good morning
- [all] Good morning, Chef

We all know that great chefs today
are taking comfort foods

and elevating it
into something really special

All of you step forward, please
I'm gonna show you a couple of examples

Here's a perfectly fine
traditional burger

It's okay. Nothing wrong with it,

- but it's not very inspiring, is it?
- [all] No, Chef

- Now, here's an elevated burger
- Whoo

Look at the difference
Night and day, right?

- [all] Yes, Chef
- Here's another example

A traditional slice of pizza

Simple, but let's be honest,
a little dull

And here's the chef version of that pizza

- Wow
- [Ramsay] What do you think?

- [Alex] Awesome
- [Dafne] Delicious

- It's beautiful
- [Ramsay] That's what chefs can do today

Take something humble, elevate it
Now a final dish

A traditional taco

Kind of boring. Not very exciting
A little bit plain, right?

[all] Yes, Chef

So the elevated taco comes down to this...

[shouts]

- Ah!
- Oh, my God

[all laugh]

- Danny Trejo
- Oh, my God

Oh, my God

That's not a taco. That's a Trejo

What the f*ck is going on?

[all laughing]

That's amazing

What? Danny Trejo is here?

That's not an elevated taco
This is an elevated taco

[Abe] I've watched all of his movies

He's got that voice, you know
He's just... He's hard-core

- Man
- [Ramsay] Welcome

- It's a pleasure having you here
- Thank you, Chefs

- Dafne, you look very excited
- [Dafne] Yeah

- [in Spanish]
- [all laugh]

Oh, man, I'm trying
to put in my Spanish flair

and be like, "Hey, I'm Latina here."

Mucho gusto, Danny

- Danny, you opened Trejo's Tacos...
- Five years ago

- [Ramsay] Now you've got...
- Four in Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago

How'd you keep on reinventing that taco?

Well, first of all,
if you just try to do one thing,

it's not going to work

Vegan, gluten-free and jackfruit
Unbelievable

- Inspired?
- [all] Yes, Chef

And so you should be

Right. For today's team challenge,

I want each of you to use your creativity
to make an elevated taco

Now, each team will be responsible
for making five tacos

Blue Team, there's four of you on there,
so your fifth taco will be a team taco

- Clear?
- [Blue Team] Yes, Chef

The team with the most unique
and delicious tacos,

wins today's challenge

We're gonna win this, guys

Red Team, Blue Team,

you've got minutes
to create five stunning tacos

And your minutes start now. Off you go

[narrator] In today's team challenge,
the chefs will be making elevated tacos

with five different proteins

[Ramsay]
Be smart with those proteins. Yes?

- [all] Yes, Chef
- You have jicama?

[narrator]
One chicken, one beef and one pork taco

- Guys, I'm going Thai with my pork
- [Abe] Heard that

[narrator] One fish and one shrimp taco

- [Dafne] I'm excited, Chef
- Yeah?

The Latina in me
is just thriving right now

- Kind of like al pastor tacos...
- Yeah

- ...but with my own tortilla
- Okay

I must win this,
no matter what the cost is

You can get the tortillas done

- in this amount of time?
- Oh, yeah

[Sakari] I'm going Caribbean

- I'm doing a curry shrimp taco
- [Alex] Cool

Red Team, we're coming for you. Watch out

I'm working Thai curry sauce
I'm gonna be searing off my steak

Kind of like letting it rest
in there, yeah

Jalapeño

Tacos is in my wheelhouse

It's an easy fix for nine children,
so it's in our blood. It's in our genes

[Abe] I'm doing a fried fish taco
I'm gonna bread my fish

- You making your own tortillas?
- Making a flour tortilla. Gonna push it

I'm feeling confident
of what I have to bring

I know I can do this

- Pull this off, this could be epic
- Yes

[Brett] I'm doing a fennel slaw,
achiote-marinated fish

- And then, uh, my salsa crudo
- [Dafne] Cool

That sounds delicious, dude

- [Ramsay] Twenty one minutes to go, yes?
- Yes, Chef

[Ramsay] Just over halfway

[Brett]
Think you're so cool speaking Spanish?

Oh, I love speaking Spanish

[Alex] Mucho caliente

[Alejandro] Mucho, mucho

No bueno. No bueno

- [Brett] Mucho gusto, señor
- Come on, gringo

[Alex] Ah... [trilling]

Somebody turn those tomatillos, please

I love it,
the way you say "tomatillos". So hot

[Cheyenne] I got skirt steak, Chef

I'm gonna make a roasted poblano
and jalapeño aioli

My girlfriend actually made this recipe
Taco feels so homey to me

I feel like I'm representing my restaurant
back home

I feel like I'm representing Emily
and myself very well

- I'm gonna do, um, fried... Yeah
- Like a Baja taco? I love that

Anybody have time to make an aioli?

- I feel a little rushed...
- Busy

...'cause I'm trying to work
on the steak tacos

and my tacos at the same time

We need a white onion
on the grill as well

Felt like I had double
the workload of everybody else

I put that on myself
I feel like that's what a leader does

Some sort of créme or slaw would be great

- [Ramsay] Five minutes
- [Cheyenne] Yes, Chef

Ah!

I'm so nervous right now

It's burning

My tortilla's burning

I'm just gonna toss it,
not even try to save it, and start over

[Christina]
Dafne, you're making me nervous

Yes, Chef

Four minutes to go, young man

Time's just ticking, ticking, ticking
[mimics clock ticking]

[Ramsay]
Jesus Christ, he's now doing a tortilla

[Abe]
Just focused on getting everything done

I thought I had more time than I expected

[Jason] Come on, Abe

- Sixty seconds to go
- [Alex] Sixty seconds heard, Chef

I gotta plate for you. What do you need?

I'm not gonna be able to get 'em

- We gotta go
- [Sakari] Right here

[Jason] Come on, Abe

Ah, sh*t

[narrator] Both teams are in the final
minutes of creating their elevated tacos

for Chef Ramsay and Danny Trejo

[Sakari] You all right, Abe?

[narrator] Abe is down to the wire
with his tortillas

Come on, Abe. Those f*cking things
should be done by now

[Abe] I completely forgot
about my f*cking tortillas

Why'd you do that now, Abe?

[Abe] I'm not gonna be able
to get my tortilla out,

but I had the backup ready

I'll just give 'em that nice char

off the burner, off the stove
Just make it taste perfect

- [Ramsay] seconds to go
- Guys, give him a hand if he needs it

- [Alex] What do you need, Abe?
- We gotta go

- [Jason] Come on, Abe
- [Alex] What else?

- [Abe] Lime, lime, lime
- [Alex] I got you

- [Ramsay] Ten, nine, eight...
- [Tara] Okay

- ...seven, six, five, four, three...
- [Alejandro] That looks good

- [Alejandro] I got it
- ...two, one, and stop

Well done, Red Team, Blue Team. Well done

I'm still upset because I'm not
getting my flour tortilla out

- But I know everything else...
- [Ramsay] Well done

...all the other elements are gonna pop

Let's start off with the battle
of the chicken

- Let's start off with Sommer, please
- [Cheyenne] Let's go, Sommer

I'm excited to show Danny Trejo, like,
I could take a taco and make it Caribbean

It's a jerk chicken taco
with a mango salsa,

and underneath is just
some simple guacamole

I love guacamole
It's spicy. I love the spice

Usually I like putting my own sauce on,
but this is really good

That spice is absolutely spot on

- Yes
- Really good. Good job. Well done

- [Brett] Attagirl, Sommer
- Go, Sommer

Right, next up
Alex, please, from Blue Team. Let's go

- Go, Alex
- Let's go, baby

Been scared of you most of my life,
so it's a pleasure to feed you

[laughs]

I wanted to go a little out of the box,

so I made
a Nashville hot chicken breakfast taco

[Ramsay]
Wow. Danny, your thoughts on that one

That's right

I feel like my taco is k*ller

It's original. It's different
It's delicious. It's a winner

Tough decision

Danny, is it Sommer's chicken
from the Red Team,

or is it Alex's Chicken
from the Blue Team?

Uh...

That's a tie. They were both delicious

- Both of them?
- Yeah

[Ramsay] Congratulations,
Sommer and Alex. Well done

Point for each team

Up next, battle of the shrimp

Tara, step forward, please

All right, Tara
Come on. Let's f*cking k*ll these boys

[Ramsay] Describe your taco
to Danny and I, please

So today I made you
a beer-battered shrimp taco

that has a chipotle créme
between the two tortillas

- Nice
- Mm-hmm

- [Ramsay] Yeah, really good stuff
- Really good. I like it

Thank you. Please pick up your tacos

Go, Tara. Attagirl

- Okay, next up. Sakari, please. Let's go
- [Alex] Let's go, buddy

I have so much confidence in Sakari
He's going to knock it out of the park

So for today, we have
a Caribbean-inspired taco with a roti

Curried shrimp as well. Something
that speaks to my roots, growing up

- I like it
- [Ramsay] You like it?

- Nothing is overpowering
- [Ramsay] No

- It blends nicely
- [Trejo] Yeah

I like that. Uh, really good job
Well done

- Go, Sakari
- [Ramsay] Really good

[Abe] Good job, Kari

Two good shrimp tacos
Which one do you prefer?

I kinda like the Blue Team

- Sakari, congratulations
- Thank you, Chef

[Ramsay] A point to the Blue Team

[narrator]
With the Blue Team now in the lead,

Brett is hoping to impress
with the Red Team's fish taco, featuring...

Achiote-marinated mahi-mahi
served over a fennel slaw

[narrator] He'll be up against Abe
and his fish taco for the Blue Team

I have breaded a red snapper
with a mixed slaw

[Ramsay] Danny, two really good tacos

Is it Brett's mahi-mahi from the Red Team,

or is it Abe's snapper taco
from the Blue Team?

I love the snapper

f*ck

Yes

- Congratulations, Abe
- Thank you, Chef

- Good job, brother
- Good job, bro

Yes

[narrator]
With the Red Team down three to one,

the pressure is on Cheyenne
and her steak taco

to keep the Red Team's hopes
of winning alive

I have for you a skirt steak
I marinated in, um, cayenne,

paprika, a little bit of cumin

I hate cayenne pepper...

but this is really good

- Thank you
- [narrator] Up next,

the Blue Team's group taco

So we did a mojo-marinated skirt steak

Made an avocado, charred tomatillo,
créme on the bottom

Big question, Danny
Red Team or Blue Team?

- Cheyenne, yeah. I liked that
- [Ramsay] For the Red Team

Red Team, congratulations

Thank you. Thank you so much

Boom. Point Red. Oh, yeah

Up next. Dafne from the Red Team, please

I put my heart out there

I used a technique
from my family in Honduras

I have to make my family
and the Latinos proud

Today you have my take on al pastor tacos

I made it with chorizo, ground pork

- And then I did make my own masa tortilla
- [Ramsay] Wow

- Mom! You got my mom back there?
- [Dafne chuckles]

- You've definitely elevated it. Good job
- Thank you, Chef

Alejandro. Let's go

[Alejandro] Dafne is awesome
She's a force to be reckoned with

I've been wanting to go up
against her for a while,

and, uh, I got my wish

Kinda went a little Thai style with this

It's a Thai street taco
with pork tenderloin

There's a curry aioli

Danny, thoughts on this one?

Presentation's beautiful. Good. I like it

- It's very sweet. Was it coconut milk?
- Yeah, it was coconut milk

You need to back that up with a seasoning,
especially the acid at the end

Right, uh, Danny. Two exceptional tacos
Two very different tacos

Do you prefer
the Red Team's taco from Dafne,

or Alejandro's Thai taco? Red or Blue?

- I gotta say Red
- [Ramsay] Dafne's, yeah

Really a change for a taco,
so that really elevated it

- [sighs]
- f*ck

We have a tie
Let's bring back the top two

Uh, I think it's clearly Dafne's,
the Red Team,

and Abe from the Blue Team

Danny, which one has the winning vote
that's gonna win it for their team?

I'm gonna have to say that...

- I love my mom's cooking
- [Ramsay] The Red Team

[cheering]

[cheers]

Oh, my God. I am ecstatic right now

Mom, Dad, Abuelita
I'm making my family proud and...

[in Spanish]

All of you join me in thanking
this incredible Hollywood legend

- Thank you
- [Ramsay] It's been an absolute pleasure

- Thank you so much
- Thank you, Mr. Trejo

Brett, right now,
you are one lucky fucker, aren't you?

I owe them my life, Chef

Red Team,
you've got another fabulous reward

You'll be smiling from ear to ear
inside these giant inflatables,

because you're all going Zorbing

I'm so excited

So much fun, rolling down the hills

Oh, my God. Yes

And there's more. You're gonna be
feasting on an unbelievable array

of gourmet Trejo Tacos

Oh, my God

[Ramsay] At this stage in the competition,
I like to make it a little more personal

I've got a very exciting present
from me, personally, back in the dorm

Red Team, congratulations
Off you go. Get out of here

- Thank you, Chef
- [Ramsay] Well done

It's really, really, really good
to be on the Red Team

Love that he calls me out
for being just a lucky assh*le

I haven't gotten any points in challenges,

but the girls have put me on their back,
and I could not be more grateful

- [laughs]
- [Dafne] What is it? What is it?

- [Cheyenne] Let's go!
- [all] Yeah! [cheering]

[Brett] Oh, my God!

[Dafne] Oh, my God!

We got the Vitamixes!

Ah! This is the best reward
of Hell's Kitchen

I'm gonna be mixing, blending
Smoothies every day

Look at your baby

I'm elated. This is amazing

- [Dafne] Oh, they're gonna be so pissed
- [Cheyenne] No way

Blue Team, today in Hell's Kitchen,
it's corn shucking day

- Oh, great
- [Alejandro groans]

We need you to husk and shuck
hundreds of pounds of it

Also ahead of dinner service tonight,

we have a Hell's Kitchen taco,
for every diner

So we need freshly made tortillas

f*ck

[Ramsay] Head back to the dorm

Good effort, Blue Team

- Get your heads up
- [all] Yes, Chef

[Abe] Yeah. Woulda, coulda, shoulda,
but sure as hell didn't. So close

I can taste them Trejo Tacos
right now. [sighs]

It's just defeat that I'm tasting

[narrator] While the Blue Team
are reflecting on yet another loss,

the Red Team is about to experience
yet another adventure

[both, echoing] Hello

I've never been Zorbing before

- [Sommer] Ah
- Go in, milady

- [all] Ooh
- [chuckles]

We're gonna be inside of a bubble,
like a hamster

- [Dafne] Woo-hoo
- [all laughing]

- How are we gonna do this?
- I don't know

[Cheyenne] Let 'em go!

[all laughing]

[Dafne, Sommer shouting]

Man, we were picking up
some speed and then...

- [Sommer shouting]
- [mimics crashing]

[both laughing]

It was just, like, a cluster
of just women going down the hill

[both laughing]

You flew out!

We definitely looked like
two drunk hamsters

Your lipstick all over Sommer's ass

- Yeah, that's my face right there
- That's her lips

She kissed your ass

[all laughing]

There she goes. Oh, there she goes

Tara is a natural-born Zorber

[Sommer] Oh, you got it!

I'm like, "Damn, Tara
You did this before?"

[Dafne chuckles]

[narrator]
While the Red Team is having a ball,

the Blue is wondering
where the shuck they went wrong

[Alex] Chef, we tried

Fourth punishment in a row

It's like getting broken up with
four times in a row

It's a lot of heartbreak

Corn needs to get peeled,
grilled, cut off the cob,

so I wanna divide and conquer everything

I'm from Ohio, so when corn season
is in full effect,

we get bushels of sweet corn,
and it's usually a day's worth of prep

So this punishment is so tedious

[Alex] These things take forever

[exhales]

Mentally, I'm...
I'm starting to get a little crazy

I'm so tired of losing

[Alejandro]

- Wow
- [exclaims]

Oh, my God

We see the array of tacos
We are VIP for real

Thank you, Danny Trejo

[Tara] Yes. Thank you, Danny

- This looks good
- [Dafne] Hell yeah

[Cheyenne]
This is definitely once-in-a-lifetime

It sucks that it's almost over

- [Tara] I know
- Yeah

This can definitely be
the Final Five right here

Black jackets

For me, the past's the past. I believe
the Red Team's all in the same boat

So we're ready to rock service tonight
and work as a cohesive team

This is four in a row
Cheers to the Red Team

- [Sommer] Four in a row
- [Dafne] Red Team

And Brett

Yeah

You said tortillas, Chef?

Yeah, at least

A memorable moment from this morning was
not being able to push out my tortillas

I'm reaping what I sow right now

Ain't nothin' like fresh tortillas

Is there a trick to this?
I haven't done this before

- Alejandro
- Yes, Chef?

- I need you for two minutes. You and I
- Yep

- Um, just real quick, I just need...
- Now

- [Alex] Go, go
- [Ramsay] Now

What the hell is going on?
I'm nervous as hell

- Young man
- Yes, Chef?

- Alejandro
- Yes, Chef?

- I need you for two minutes. You and I
- Yep

- Just real quick, I just need...
- Now

- [Alex] Go, go
- [Ramsay] Now

- Young man
- Yes, Chef?

I know you can cook, but you have this
very strange way of getting in the weeds,

- and then your head drops
- Yes, Chef

You need to fight back

- I know, Chef
- You've got to pull yourself back

- Yes, Chef
- I've seen some incredible moments

with what you've done

Not just the inspiration,

but just the gravitas
and what you bring to this competition

- But when you hit a bump, you disappear
- Yes, Chef

- I can't afford you to disappear tonight
- Yes, Chef

It took a lot for me
to make it to this moment

I miss my wife. I especially miss my son

His name's Arlo Grae
He is, uh... He's awesome

It was a big decision for me
to leave my family

It was a big sacrifice
for both myself and my wife

I know why I'm here
They know why I'm here

It's to prove that I have what it takes

to be Chef Ramsay's Head Chef
in Atlantic City

[Ramsay] I need a voice

- Heard, Chef
- Let's go

Let's go

I thought I was going home. I was scared

But after I'm done talking to Chef Ramsay,
I'm ready to run through a brick wall

[narrator] With the ladies and Brett
back from a day of bonding and Zorbing...

Open ears, wide eyes, let's go

...both teams have their game faces on
for tonight's service

Just trying to be
very talkative tonight, so...

[Abe]
Rock and roll, baby. No room for errors

- [Alex] Calm, cool, collected, yes?
- Calm, cool, collected

- Let's go
- [Sakari] Let's have a good service

- Marino
- [Marino] Sí, Chef?

- Open Hell's Kitchen please. Let's go
- [Marino] Subito

[narrator] As the numbers continue
to dwindle in the kitchen,

the dining room is once again
filled with excitement

- Here's to Dad and Gordon Ramsay
- Yes. Cheers

[narrator] Maître d' Marino, has returned...

Oh, Marino's back

...and customers are anxious to get
a taste of Chef Ramsay's menu

I'll do the golden beet salad

Can I also have the rack of lamb?

This evening, there will be special guests
at the Blue Chef's Table

Actresses and comedians,
Cheryl Hines and Rachael Harris

- He's real cute
- I feel like we just...

- Whoa, Rachael
- I know. It's awkward

Red Team. Six covers, table four
Two carbonara, two scallops, two risotto

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

I'll get the two carbonaras,
you do the risotto

They had no confidence in me yesterday,
so the pressure is so on

If I don't come out swinging tonight,
I'm definitely going down

Yeah. Let's let it stand
for three minutes

You have a extra one in here, don't you?

I have this one. I've got three in

Dropping my pasta in seconds

- Brett, you got on two lobsters?
- Yeah

[Tara] Dropping pasta

You didn't hear me?
Now you're really gonna hear me

I warned them
I'm gonna be loud and I'm gonna be fast

- Drop those scallops
- [Sommer] He's getting them

- Two scallops. So get the scallops
- Yeah

[Sommer] Are they seasoned?

- No, sorry
- Season 'em

[Cheyenne] Sommer is definitely
carrying Brett a little bit

He seems really iffy

[Tara] Minute and a half

[Dafne] Hey Brett,
you heard that? seconds

[Sommer] It's only five
So you have ten, right?

[Brett] Ten pieces

[Cheyenne] There's no wiggle room anymore
There's nowhere to hide

Everyone has to be on their game

You a minute out yet?
Are you dropping them?

You're still a little time out?

- Work with two hands. It's always quicker
- Yes, Chef

Brett, how long do you need?

Tara, can you not scream at everyone?
I'm trying to talk

- [Tara] I'm sorry, Chef
- Gotta start listening to each other

[Dafne]
Tara is just talking over everyone,

and I don't think she understands
the way a line works

We all almost dance like ballerinas,
and she is just a rock metal head

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry
- [Dafne] She's just like...

[mimics rock music]

Carbonara's walking, okay?

Risotto walking. You good, Brett?

- Yeah, I'll be good to walk
- Okay

[Sommer] Take the skewers out

Now I'm double-checking
every single thing Brett does,

'cause we can't make
those little mistakes

We can't fail
I'm not gonna let it happen

- Beautifully cooked, those scallops, yes?
- Thank you, Chef

[Ramsay] Go, please

[narrator] While Brett is benefiting
from the support of his team...

- Thank you for your help
- [Sommer] You're welcome

...the Blue Team is ready
to fire their first appetizers

Right, here we go
Four covers, table three, yes?

- Two risotto, two scallops. Let's go
- Yes, Chef

- Five minutes on that risotto, yes?
- [Abe] Two lobster, down

Let me know on them scallops,
when to drop them scallops

Tonight is very, very, very important

We have to bounce back

[Ramsay]
Two scallops, two risotto, yes? How long?

Alejandro, I'm talking to you

- Yes, Chef
- Risotto. How long?

Two minutes on apps!

- Talk, talk, yes?
- [all] Yes, Chef

[Abe]
Alejandro has to man-up with his voice

Chef Ramsay's looking for somebody
who can speak up, run a line

Keep that countdown

- One and a half minutes on two risotto
- [Abe] Heard that

- Dropping scallops
- [Alex] Heard. Dropping scallops

[Alejandro] I'm just trying to communicate
as much as possible

I have a voice. I need to use that voice

- Walking risotto. How long on scallops?
- Walking scallops

- [Alejandro] Awesome
- [Ramsay] Good

- Now I can hear the voice. More of that
- [Alejandro] Yes, Chef

- [Ramsay] Very nice, Alejandro
- Thank you, Chef

[narrator]
Now that Alejandro has found his voice...

Let's go, guys
Let's keep this f*cking momentum

...both teams are pushing
through appetizers...

I need to slow down. It's so good

- It's pretty incredible
- [laughing]

...and the Red Team is ready
for their first entrees of the night

Fire now, two salmon, two New York strip

- Five minutes
- [all] Five minutes. Yes, Chef

- Two salmon, two New York strip, Brett
- I'm going to the oven with salmon

Two salmon in the oven

Four and a half out
Two shrimp, two salmon

[Sommer] Four and a half

The kitchen's so small now
There's only five of us, and you know,

I'm just thinking all the things
that could potentially go wrong tonight

if I'm not completely on my sh*t

Two minutes on entrees

[Cheyenne] Heard
Two minutes on entrees. Two minutes

[chuckles]

- [Ramsay] My, God. Careful! Careful!
- Yes, Chef

[Cheyenne groans] f*ck

- [Ramsay] You okay?
- [Cheyenne] No

[groaning]

[narrator]
It's minutes into dinner service...

and the Red Team is off
to a blazing start

- [Ramsay] My God. Careful! Careful!
- Yes, Chef

[Cheyenne groans] f*ck

- [Ramsay] You okay?
- [Cheyenne] No

[narrator] But Cheyenne, in an attempt
to put out a fire, has suffered a burn

- Just go to the medic. Watch out
- All right

- No. Please go to the medic
- Did you get those out?

- [sighs]
- [Ramsay] f*cking hell

f*cking hell

- Dafne
- [Dafne] Yes, Chef?

- Take over the meat
- Yes, Chef

[sniffles, groans]

[groans]

[Ramsay] You okay? Show me

This is definitely, uh, the worst burn
I've ever had

and it was over something so stupid

- I'm okay, I swear
- I know, but it's a severe burn, darling

[Cheyenne] Sorry, Chef

I just wanna scream,
and then I literally start crying

because I'm so pissed at myself

[groaning]

This cannot be the reason I go home

This cannot be the reason
Red kitchen loses service

[groaning]

Oh, that's gonna be so f*cked. [sniffles]

- Uh, Brett, seconds on two rib-eye?
- Yes

[Dafne] Watching Cheyenne getting b*rned
is just scary,

and I wanna make sure she's okay,
but we also have tickets

All right, guys. Can I walk my two steak?

[Sommer]
Yes. I'm in the window with the garnish

- Thank you. Heard
- [Sommer] Salmon is up too

I'm always gonna put my % on my team

Go wherever I need to be,
and be the supporter that the team needs

- [Ramsay] Dafne, nicely cooked
- Thank you, Chef

[narrator] Thanks to Dafne,
delivery of entrees

are not slowing down from the Red kitchen

This is insanely good. Oh, my gosh. Wow

[Ramsay] Six covers, table one

Entree, two salmon,
two halibut, two Wellington

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

Let's go, boys. Let's go, boys

That was two halibut, right?

Dinner service started off with a bang

Everything's smooth
We're counting, we're talking

I got my halibut in

It's the motion in the ocean

It's the... the well-oiled machine

- I need four and a half
- Two salmon, two Wellie, two halis

[Sakari]
Two salmon, two Wellies, two halis

No, wait. What? What?

I didn't get those two salmon

I just heard it now
I didn't hear that salmon call, dude

Four minutes on two salmon,
two halibuts, two Wellies

I need at least six minutes on that

- These salmon just went down
- Can someone help him?

I can't help him rush it
He's gonna need at least eight

I don't know what happened

I feel like I was giving him all-days,
all day long. Please don't screw this up

How long do you need on those two salmon?
Talk to me, Abe

- How long on the six top?
- How long you need on those two salmon?

- [Abe] On the two salmon I need...
- You are driving the f*cking...

- f*ck him!
- He needs more time, Chef. Yes, Chef

Why does he... Has he told you?
Have you told him you need more time?

- I need five minutes on the salmon, Chef
- f*cking hell. [sighs]

I'd have had that fired

And he's got the easiest f*cking pick-up

- There's a lot of drama happening
- Yeah

- It's still under
- Yeah. That's why I'm trying to finish it

[narrator]
With Cheyenne back in the kitchen...

- You good?
- Yeah

Fire now. Lamb, New York strip,
Wellington, halibut

- [all] Yes, Chef
- [Dafne] Lamb, Wellie,

- I have your sauces for you
- [sniffles]

...and Abe finally selling his salmon

I'm ready to walk that two salmon

- [Alex] Walk it
- Leave them in the pan for me!

- Leave them in the pan for me!
- Yes, Chef!

sh*t!

[narrator] Both teams are bouncing back
and are expediting their entrees...

- Behind
- [Cheyenne] You got it. Walking strip

- [Ramsay] Go please, John
- [John] Yep

...and serving satisfied diners

- No, this is amazing
- Yeah

- [Ramsay] Red Team
- Yes, Chef?

All of you, come here

- Blue Team
- Yes, Chef?

[Ramsay]
I've never seen a service this good

Three tickets there,

First to finish is gonna win this service

- Let's go!
- Yes, Chef!

- [Sommer] Let's go!
- [Alex] Let's go, guys!

You gotta try to push it! Push it!

All right. What's next?

Two Wellie, two New York strip,
and two salmon. Four and a half?

Yep. Four and a half

Ah! Three tickets left
We all want this. We wanna win

Three halibut, one lamb
It's an easy ticket. How long?

Yes, Chef. One minute, Chef

- Yes, Chef

We have to move at a fast pace,
but it also needs to be perfect

Garnish up?

- Garnish is going up in seconds

We just have to put the pedal to the metal
and get it done

Two salmon, two Wellie
After that, two halibut, two strip

[Sakari] We're all pushing each other

I just need a sizzle

We're trying to get this thing up
so we can win

- Walk, walk
- [Abe] Get it up

- Let's go
- Good job, guys

Let's wait for the ticket to finish

[Sakari] Let's pray

[narrator]
It's just minutes into dinner service,

and both kitchens are in a race
to complete service first

- Last table, Red Team
- [all] Yes, Chef

- Blue Team, last table
- [all] Yes, Chef

[Ramsay]
It's neck and neck, guys. Come on

[narrator] But Brett on the Red Team
has slowed down their final ticket

- with an undercooked halibut
- [Ramsay] Come on, Brett, please

Thirty seconds

[narrator]
It all comes down to Sakari's final steak

- Back in the pan. You had it
- Yes, Chef

[Ramsay] That's not even rare

- Uh-oh. Uh-oh. sh*t's going down
- Oh, sh*t

- [Alex] We got it, Chef
- It's blue!

- [Alex] Go. On the heat
- Gentlemen

sh*t

Definitely, uh... super frustrating

It's gonna be about a minute and a half

[Sommer] Please

- We're good now, right?
- [Ramsay] Let's go. sh*t

[Jason] They're plating their last ticket

It's f*cking pressure. Pressure, dawg
Got pressure

- [Ramsay] Red Team
- Yes, Chef?

- Congratulations. Well done
- [Dafne] Thank you, Chef

- [all] Thank you, Chef
- Good job, guys

- [Christina] Brett, good job
- Thank you, Chef

Good job, Tara. Good job

Holy sh*t! We won. That's right. We won

We won. We won. We won

Go, girls! And Brett, of course

- Can I go see the medic?
- [Ramsay] Well done

Yeah, of course you can
Can you show me, please?

Yeah
Just get the cooling liquid on there

- Absolutely
- Okay. Little bucket of ice on the side,

- so you just dip your hands in
- Perfect

- Stay away from the hot
- Yes, Chef

Let's make it...
Send it out. Let's get it out

You had it. You had it

It was in our grasp
The whole time it was in our grasp

And we just... We let it slip away

Lost again

Last f*cking steak. [sighs]

Sucks

I took a chance. It didn't
have time to rest like the other steak

I wanted to push through that finish line
We were so close

Ay, ay, ay

- Blue team, come here
- [all] Yes, Chef

You guys had it. It was so close

But, you lost

- That's it
- Yes, Chef

[Ramsay]
Now I want you to go back to the dorm

and think about everything you've seen
and witnessed in this competition so far

Every challenge, every service,

every punishment and then come back
to me with two nominees

[all] Yes, Chef

Now get out of here

[sighs]

We should've won tonight

God, dude, we were so f*cking close

You should've pushed back on that strip
and said it's not ready

That f*cking steak
We wouldn't be here right now

Bro, I... Listen, man,
it is what it is, man

Just because that last ticket was under,

I don't deserve to go home tonight,

'cause I think I'm one
of the best chefs here

I'm going with, obviously, Sakari and Abe

I wish we didn't have that salmon mishap

That wasn't my fault
I didn't know it was called,

so when he called it fired,
I had to f*cking fire it right then

I don't deserve to leave this place
I'm not the weakest chef

I can be heard. I have that energy

And Alejandro, he has some skills,
but he doesn't have leadership skills

Y'all know where y'all f*cked up
and we all know where we stand

So Sakari and Ale

Ale, you had your faults
You had your, you know, your mess-ups

Chef Ramsay can see the mistakes
It's about how you bounce back

But he's also looking at the overall,
who can be a leader

He expects a lot out of you
He expects for you to have a voice

You've been falling behind
on challenges here and there too, so...

I make up for it

Honestly,
when Abe tells me that I am going up,

I don't listen to him
because I have the skills

I have that tenacity
And unlike Abe, I can lead a kitchen

Alex

Uh...

Man

This f*cking sucks, dude

Let's get one thing straight, shall we?

That was a very strong service

And that's why I put the decision
in your hands

First to finish wins

- Alex
- [sighs]

Blue Team's first nominee and why

Our first nomination is Sakari, Chef

Based on his lack of voice, communication,

and the accountability of
that last New York strip,

that's why he's going up

Blue Team's second nominee and why

Uh...

[Ramsay] Alex

Blue Team's second nominee and why

Uh...

Abe

We believe that from creativity,
leadership, communication,

challenges and dinner services,
he was one of the weakest chefs

[Ramsay] Abe, Sakari

Step forward, please

Abe, why do you think you should stay
in Hell's Kitchen?

My previous challenges
have put me up here

I can't control my past,
but I can control my future

I've elevated
from everything I've learned,

and I just keep pushing forward

I'm... I'm here for the win

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

Chef, I got discipline,
drive, determination

I got passion. I fight hard
I leave it all out there every single day

I don't give up, Chef

This is really hard

Every decision gets harder and harder

My decision is...

- Brett
- [Cheyenne] Wait, what?

Come here and give me your jacket

- Young man...
- [Brett] Yes

...I'm going to be honest with you now
You had a rough night tonight

And the four women bailed you out

- And you need, right now, to listen
- Yes, Chef

You're going to the Blue Team

Abe

Young man,
it's time for you to say goodbye

But let me tell you something
really important

Your nine kids back home should be
very proud of what you've done

Because your effort and the determination
on top of that effort

has been second to none

And young man, when we're in the trenches,

every chef in the country looks
to guys like you to bail them out

You never, ever, ever gave up once
And that goes a long way with me

Means everything to me, Chef

Head up and give me your jacket, please

- Well done
- Thank you, Chef

- Thank you
- And good luck

[Abe exhales deeply]

[sighs]

Being here was an uphill battle for me

I felt like I was a black sheep,
but I'm proud

I know my family's gonna be proud

Chef Ramsay, thank you for everything

I came out a winner tonight

I walked out them doors a winner

Listen, you need to know
that every mistake now is magnified

Because after all,
one of you will be the next head chef,

Hell's Kitchen, Caesars Atlantic City

Get out of here

I'm just happy that I'm still here
There's gonna be no more passes

I have to show Chef Ramsay why I'm here
I'm here to win

It's time to step it up

[Sommer] When Chef Ramsay said
Brett's name, I was completely shocked

At this point, anybody can go home
Like, you never know how it's gonna go

This is where I buckle in
and be the best that I can be

Oh, my God

I don't know if I can
feel happy right now,

but I'm definitely grateful
that he hasn't given up on me

But this is my last chance
I'm definitely going to fight for my life

[Ramsay] Abe's performance tonight
was more like a C minus

With only the best chefs left
in the competition,

his grades just don't make the cut

[narrator] Next time on Hell's Kitchen

Cheers, guys

[narrator] When Chef Ramsay throws
a star-studded charity event...

Blue Team,
you're cooking for baseball stars

- [Alejandro] Yes, Chef
- This is a big error. Come on, guys

Gordon's not a happy camper

[narrator]
Will one chef throw a curveball...

- Count, make sure we have more than
- [Ramsay] Count the plates

- Count the plates
- [Brett] We're down one

- Son of a bitch
- I mean, f*cking hell

...to strike out his own teammate?

I don't know whether sabotage or not,
but come on, Brett, please

Welcome to the big boy league

[narrator]
And will an old friendship turn sour?

Obviously, I need to be more of a bitch

[narrator] It's an episode of clashes...

- If it sounds like I'm whining...
- Yes, you are

Then f*cking...

- ...and splashes...
- Oh, God. Oh, my God

- [whimpering]
- [laughing]

...on the next Hell's Kitchen
