21x03 - Clawing Your Way to the Top

[bunniefuu]

- [narrator] Previously on Hell's Kitchen...
- Let's rock and roll, baby

With Punishment Passes on the line...

They look glorious

- ...the twentysomethings' Red Team...
- [Ileana] Behind

...and the fortysomethings' Blue Team...

Can you turn the grill on?

I'm B-True
and I'm gonna bring the mad flavor

It looks sexy to me

...attempted to make elevated chicken wings
that would impress Chef Ramsay...

They're good. Well done

...while -year-old executive chef
O'Shay served something foul

O'Shay. Oh, dear

Los Angeles private chef Nicole
and Chicago's Truffle Boy Vlad...

- Well done. Good job
- ...made chicken that simply soared

I'm like from zero to f*cking hero

- [narrator] However, it was...
- [Ramsay] Alex, good job

- And...
- Alejandro. Congratulations

...whose wings won them
the powerful Punishment Pass

- [narrator] It looked like...
- Ileana

...was about to fly the coop

- You've got one more chance
- But she returned to her flock

[Ileana] I'm so much better than this

I haven't gotten a chance
to prove myself yet

[narrator]
But in their first dinner service...

You're supposed to be the twentysomething,

- not the slowest
- Yes, Chef

...the Red Team needed more
than a wing and a prayer...

How come the lobster's
taking longer than the risotto?

...to overcome
Ileana and Alyssa's schoolgirl spat

You gotta scoot over
You have this whole thing

- All right
- Okay

Am I supposed to shout over you?

In the Blue kitchen...

Come on, guys. We got this

- ...Zeus' carbonara...
- [Ramsay] That's scrambled eggs

Great white shark
has eaten half his f*cking brain

- ...Charlene's...
- Pink chicken

- ...and Billy's...
- [Ramsay] Cold Wellington

...frustrated Chef Ramsay

Get the f*ck out of here

- And while the Blue Team saw red...
- Damn, that hurts

- ...it was ultimately...
- Zeus

- ...and...
- Charlene

...who kissed their chance
of becoming head chef

at Hell's Kitchen, Caesars Atlantic City,
goodbye

And now,
the continuation of Hell's Kitchen

Get out of here

[Alex] Right now, the Blue Team is a mess

Have you heard the term "dumpster fire"?

- You feel better, though? Honestly?
- No

I'm still alive, baby

- Yo
- Still alive. Thanks, guys

Thank you all. I appreciate it

[Alex] Billy's fired up,

but being that aggressive
toward your team is just not...

You're not sealing the deal

No, you guys are the best
You know what I'm saying?

I've been up for elimination twice
in one f*cking day

[Nicole] Billy is loud

Or a little hyper, like, aggressive,

and it's a little unnerving
because he doesn't have to be loud

I got heart and passion, man

I will try to bottle my emotions
sometimes

- It's just uber aggressive
- But this is... True, but you know...

But your aggression
is hurting my feelings

I'm sorry, bro

[Tara] Billy is still running his mouth

- But I'm not trying to...
- You gotta let me talk

- Sorry
- Yeah, this is what it is

- This is what I'm talking about
- Yeah

[Tara] Shut up

Go to freaking bed,
wake up and bring your A-game tomorrow

[narrator] After exhausting his team
with his constant chatter,

Billy wakes up this morning
looking for a new audience

- Know what I'm saying? We got this
- Yeah. Hell, yeah

- I know what you saying
- We're gonna crush this

You know what I'm saying?

- [Sommer] Yeah, be true to yourself
- [Billy] I am, every single day

[Sommer] B-True, aka Billy

I'm sure he feels like sh*t
'cause his team doesn't like him

And this can be a good advantage
for the Red Team

The Blue Team is divided,
so that's what we want

- That's how I go
- f*ck yeah, Billy

Know what I'm saying?

- Sommer, you got what I'm putting out
- [Sommer] I got you

You know what I'm saying?

We've got to stop cooking with fear
and more with our passion, our creativity

Hello

Let's get these on

Chef Ramsay would like to see you
out front right away

[all] Yes, Chef

- [all clamoring]
- Oh, my God

[Alex]
Let's get ready to go to the hospital

There's helmets, there's knee pads,
there's elbow pads

The last time I wore a helmet,
I was probably seven

[Ramsay] Good morning

[Dafne] Oh, my goodness

Love that

I am sporty, but I'm not that sporty

[Ileana] Yo, is that Tony Hawk?
Oh, my God

- Is that Tony Hawk?
- [Billy] No f*cking way

[all cheering]

What?

This guy is a legend. He has a video game

He's the GOAT of skateboarding

[Ileana] Oh, my God

[Ramsay] Please welcome Tony Hawk

He's the most decorated
and influential skateboarder of all time

[Alyssa] Oh, my God, Tony Hawk

[Ramsay] And Sky Brown

She turned pro at
She's already an Olympic medalist

She's so badass

Oh, my God. Sick

[Ramsay] Amazing. Come on, give it up

That was incredible

- Thank you
- Seriously, well done

It's interesting 'cause we've got
a genius from the older generation...

...and then someone at
who is b*ating a much older competition

What grade are you in?

I'm in eighth grade

- Geez
- [Ileana] Oh, my God

Right. Now, I need a volunteer
from the Red Team and the Blue Team

Who would like to go first?

- Oh, my God
- No way

There's no way that you're going
to get me up on that thing at all

Blue Team?

Vlad

Blue Team?

I'll go first

I'm not willing to allow us to sink
because nobody's gonna volunteer

You two, very carefully, make your way up
Pick up your board

I will do what it takes

Oh, my goodness

[Ramsay] Okay. On the count of three

- [Mindy] Whoa, Chef
- One...

- [Sommer] sh*t
- ...two...

Get down here, both of you

Stop it! Come on

[Ramsay laughs] Get down

- I was gonna do it
- [Vlad] Holy sh*t

I'm having a heart att*ck

I got you, Blue Team
I would have done it for you

Seriously, Mindy?

I would've done it, Chef. For you

I would've needed a medic

Big time. Thank you for the courage,

but no way am I losing any of you now
to a skateboarding accident

- Clear?
- [all] Yes, Chef

Tony, the secrets to your success,
over decades, has been what now?

It's consistency
It's really just working my craft

If I take any breaks, I lose it

[Ramsay] Yeah

Sky, what's been the secret
to your success?

I think attention to detail is key

It's about doing what I love
and trying my best

Consistency. Attention to detail
Absolutely key

- Yes, Chef
- [Sakari] Yes, Chef

Two incredible athletes
A big round of applause

- [all applauding, cheering]
- Thank you so much. Great job

Congratulations. Thank you so much

Well done

Now, your next challenge

You'll all be showing me consistency,

but more importantly,
a great attention to detail

breaking down an amazing lobster

Gather round

I've been breaking down whole lobsters,
I couldn't tell you how long

I love to go to the lobster market,
pick 'em off the boat

I feel really, really comfortable
in this challenge

Okay, your body and your head

Okay, pull and twist out

Now, peel that. Out

Take out the little pins

Twist, and out

Take your Kn*fe and just through
Just pull out that claw whole

Chef Ramsay, he's like a ninja right now
He's fast and effortless

Just open that up

Take that out

Take a little delve
and get that little leg out

[O'Shay] There's meat in the legs

Know how many lobster legs
I've thrown away over the years?

[Ramsay] And there we have a lobster
taken out of the shell

Attention to detail

Your lobsters are inside

Let's go

[narrator] In today's
Attention to Detail challenge,

- each chef will have ten minutes to cook...
- [Ramsay] Let's go

...and carefully extract the meat
from a lobster

- Get it into the water
- [Abe] Let's get this challenge

[Nicole] Sorry, buddy

Get in there

Oh, my goodness. That lobster takes
around three or four minutes to cook

And that only leaves us
five or six minutes

to get the meat out of this lobster

This is hot. Boy, that's hot

Keeping in mind that it is so hot,
it's burning your hands

That's so hot

Oh, my God

I used to work at a lobster restaurant
I was kitchen manager

The lobster's cooling down,
I'm ready to finesse it

I got big hands,
but I'm gonna be like a surgeon today

sh**t

Come on, guys. Four minutes to go
Looking good

Have you had to do this before
with the live ones?

- Whole lobsters?
- I did

Okay, good

I'm super confident in myself
and my ability to break down lobster

because I'm used to doing that
every day at work

sh*t. I freaking do this my whole life

and I can't believe
I cut this lobster f*cked

[Ramsay] Start plating, please
Let's go, guys

- Sixty seconds to go
- Oh, my God

[Nicole] Yes, Chef

Are you freaking kidding me? One minute?

I still have
a whole other knuckle to get out

I f*cked this lobster

That sucks so bad

[Ramsay] Thirty seconds to go. Come on!

Oh, my God

[Ramsay] Fifteen seconds

Good, well done. Love it

Get it on the plate, please

Tara, get on the plate

- Five...
- No

...four...

Tara

Three...

two, one and stop

Let's go

- Well done
- [Tara] That sucked

I'm pissed, but I'm really hoping
he's just gonna go,

"Okay, you got most of it done."

Uh, Red Team, you have two extra chefs

So you've all got seconds now

to come to a consensus
to eliminate the weakest two lobsters

Have a chat together

Get rid of me

Alyssa is out for sure,
having no legs at all

- Not going
- Okay

I'm just missing legs, that's it. So...

If it's ex*cuted better,
it doesn't matter if it's all completed

It has to have the best execution

Ileana's is butchered,
even though it has legs

What do you mean?

Sommer's missing legs and knuckles

I've got all the components there

Sommer, let's check ourselves
Just look at the lobsters on the plate

Red Team, have we got a consensus?

Which two lobsters are we dropping,
please?

Chef, Alyssa and Sommer

Alyssa and Sommer,
are you happy with that?

[both] No, Chef

Oh, boy

Red Team, which two lobsters
are we dropping?

Alyssa and Sommer

Alyssa and Sommer,
are you happy with that?

[both] No, Chef

Oh, boy

Ten more seconds, decide again
Let's go. Hurry up!

I feel like this should go
This is butchered

Your legs, even though it's...

everything is completed,
it's still f*cked up

This has more attention to detail
And I'm only just missing legs

This is missing two components,
and this is butchered, like...

I'm not a person
to let other people choose for me

If I'm passionate about something,
I'm gonna say it

It doesn't matter if it's all completed,
it has to have the best execution

Cool

I'm pissed
Why would they not put my lobster up?

Kind of feeling like my team
completely lost faith in me

because of the past two challenges

My goodness me. Undercooked

It's a two out of five

If you can't get a wing right,

what chance have you got
to get into Atlantic City?

Right, let's start with the Blue Team

Abe

So, let's see if it's an A or an F

Tail, two claws, eight legs

That is staying in

Yeah!

Good job, Abe

- [Mindy] Nice job, Abe
- Yeah, dog

[Ramsay] One point

- Whose is this?
- That's mine, Chef

[Ramsay] No legs

- I just ran out of time, unfortunately
- Unfortunately, that is staying out

- Okay. Sorry
- Not one leg on

[Ileana] Sommer
has no legs on there whatsoever

Chef Ramsay said it,
I don't have to say it

O'Shay. What happened?

A sort of claw, a knuckle,
a claw missing, four legs

- Where's your claw?
- In the shell, Chef

What a shame. That's staying out

[Billy] O'Shay?

Oh, sh*t! Come on, bro

You're supposed to be a chef

- Whose is this?
- Mine, Chef

[narrator] With Billy...

- It's in
- Thank you, Chef

...Mindy...

- That's in
- Thank you, Chef

...Nicole...

That is definitely in, congrats

- ...and Alex...
- Utter perfection

...all satisfying Chef Ramsay,

- the fortysomethings finish with...
- [Ramsay] Five

- Thank you, Chef
- That's the score to b*at

[Nicole] Total redemption. I am so happy

Blue Team, we're gonna win this one
I know it

- Red Team
- Yes, Chef

Brett. Two, four, six, eight legs

Two knuckles, two claws,

- one perfect tail
- [Brett] Yes, Chef

- That is definitely in
- Thank you, Chef

- Good job
- Thank you

[Ramsay] Cheyenne

[narrator] The Red Team
continues to score...

- That is definitely in
- Thank you, Chef

...with Cheyenne...

- Good job
- ...Dafne...

Good job

...Vlad...

That is beautifully done

- ...and Sakari each earning a point
- Thank you

[Ramsay] A definite in

Five to five

Sommer, one more
and you could win it for your team

And the tail,
that is extracted beautifully

Two nice claws, two knuckles

- No legs
- No legs, Chef

I just didn't have enough time

I was focused too much
on breaking the claws

Unfortunately, your dish is out
What a shame

I sh*t myself in the foot, definitely

But this is not about sparing feelings,
this is just about what you believe in

Alejandro. Final dish

We've got one tail,
two knuckles, two claws

Two, four, six, eight legs

- A perfect lobster extracted
- Thank you, Chef

Congratulations

Go, Red Team. Go, Red Team. Hey!

We lost again

Blue Team is going to punishment. Again

[Ramsay] Red Team,
you're about to embark on an exciting day,

driving high-powered,
European-style race karts

That's right

The speed of these karts
are just off the charts

Please be careful

- Alex, you listening?
- Yes, Chef

Because all of you are going to be
swimming up to your necks in fish guts,

as you make stock for the seafood risotto
We need gallons of it

Oh, God

[Ramsay] There's something else
you need to do for tonight's risotto

This morning, the rice delivery
got a little bit screwed up

We've got Arborio rice
mixed with wild rice

Oh, my God

- I need you to separate, grain by grain...
- Oh, my God

...for tonight's service

So, Alex, will you race over to the reward

or will you gut it out
with the rest of your team?

Have a think

I don't need to think about it

Win together, die together

I'll stay with my team

Both teams head to the dorms

[O'Shay] The Blue Team was on
the biggest losing streak

It's almost like the Blue Team is cursed

- Let's go
- Yes, Chef

It's great that we have
a talented enough team

that we can have these missteps
and still pull it off

But if we don't address
these little small failures

and we get comfortable,
it's gonna fall apart

[Sommer] First off, I made that call
and I'll take whatever comes after that

You guys saw the past couple
of challenges, you know, I f*cked up

And then this one,
I finally got my sh*t together

and y'all want to send me out
to the back burner

It makes me look like a turd

Stick up for yourself more
You know what I mean?

If you stand behind something,
stand behind something

- You know what I mean?
- Yeah

Well, she kicked ass
on this f*cking challenge

She should've been up there

Alyssa, I feel like...
Just keep that to yourself

[Alyssa] I'm allowed to have my opinion

I feel a lot of attitude
coming from Sommer

I feel like every attitude that I bring
is a reaction to your mindset

For you to say that,
you're always reacting off me

I've heard you give attitude
to multiple people

Alyssa, I have noticed, like,
there's a lot more negativity

when you're frustrated
and it's not in a constructive way

[Dafne]
You need to look at yourself in the mirror

and be like, "What am I doing wrong?"

[Brett]
It's not everybody turning against you

[Alyssa] I feel like my whole team
just kind of flipped a switch on me

I... I know I have faults

I know I have things I have to work on

But I just feel like it's not fair
to kind of be flipped on

because maybe I'm one of
the more outspoken people

The most important thing
is that we stick together as a team

and then the last and final point
is we f*cking won, baby!

Yo

This would be an octopus

[Jason] There's a lot
of mixed fish in here,

so you have to separate
all the white from the oily fish

[O'Shay] That smells so bad

Is that halibut?

Right now,
we don't even know what fish is what fish

That's a flounder, ain't it?

No, that ain't no flounder
That's a stingray

- There are barbs. That's rough
- [Billy] Yeah

There's barbs all through this thing

It's just disgusting and smelly
and such a pain in the ass

[Abe] Give me that deep one

It's sticky, slimy. It's smelly

I didn't get a job at the docks
for that reason

- [Alex] See what I'm saying?
- I do

Oh, my God
I'd like to use my Punishment Pass

Too late, buddy

[both laugh]

- How we doing, guys?
- Great

We're excited to have you here
at MB Raceway today

- All right
- [Cheyenne] I'm excited

- [Dafne] This is dope
- This is so sick

I want to b*at
all these b*tches on my team

so I can become the ruler of this team

Ready? Three, two, one

[cheering]

Not bad

I'll turn anything into a competition

Drives my wife crazy,
but yeah, I'm betting on me

[Dafne] He's playing dirty

Brett made me spin out of control

I'm completely dead last

This is the last lap, Ileana

Alyssa's tiny ass is just like...

"Who's gonna be first?"
And I'm on her ass

There she is!

I don't know if she's floating
or if, like, she's so tiny

that her go-kart is just going faster

- [Christina] Alyssa was first
- [Alyssa] That was so much fun

After this morning, I needed that

I needed something
to boost my confidence again

after having a little bit of
a shittier start to my day

[all whooping]

Go, Red Team!

It's like picking through bird seeds

[Tara] I don't think
I'll ever look at rice the same

I feel like I'm in ISS

In-school suspension? Yeah

You're talking
to Billy and Abe here. [laughs]

You think we escaped that at all?

- Never got suspended
- And we believe you on that one, Tara

- I never did. I was straight A...
- No, we believe you

- Number ten in my class
- You don't have to twist my arm

I don't know what to think about Tara

She does come off a little antsy
and a little pushy at first

Like the home-school teacher/mom

Oh, you got black in here
Watch the black

Hit 'em with a ruler
every time they do something bad

We gotta work fast

[Vlad] Red Team is back!

In the house

[Tara] Oh, my God

- Yeah!
- [Sommer] Hey, Blue Team

Guess who won the racing competition?

- Man
- Pipe down

- [Sommer] I see you guys are focused
- [Cheyenne] That sucks

How's the rice picking going?

[Alex] This is my meltdown

f*ck, no

These kids are k*lling us

I'm gonna do whatever it takes

I want this dinner service
more than anything

- I just f*cking hate losing, bro
- Same

[narrator] Coming up...

I feel like I'm not really doing sh*t

If you're cooking the salmon,
halibut and scallops,

what the f*ck am I sitting here doing?

- Wait, what?
- The chicken is raw

This is a joke

[narrator]
And later, Chef Ramsay shocks everyone

Hey, Chef is f*cking pissed. We all gotta
go to the dining room right now

- What? Pissed?
- [Cheyenne] Whatever this is, it's weird

[Nicole] Oh, my God

Look, our downfall, facts,

is that we're used to being
exec chefs and running things

They're used to being on the line,
sweating it out

They are a solid team

Listen. We just need
to focus and calm down

- [O'Shay] Yeah, man
- [Alex] That's all it is

I don't want anybody to go home,

so we're gonna need to win
dinner service tonight

- Red Team
- Hi, Chef

- We good?
- [all] Yes, Chef

Excellent

Guys, you need anything?

- I'm caught up. What do you need?
- Salted water...

I'm not here to lose or underperform

I'm here to bust my ass for Chef Ramsay

- Let's do this, guys. Come on
- Let's go

Tonight, I'm gonna pump up my team

and do whatever it takes
to get us through a service

- Oh, I'm f*cking ready
- Look, breathe

- Don't yell
- [Billy] I'm not yelling, bro

- I'm just f*cking pumped, bro
- Don't be louder than Chef

I know we're gonna crush it

- Don't be louder than Chef
- I'm not gonna

Maybe temper the cussing

At this point,
I am a little bit worried about Billy

It's my f*cking time to shine

Well, you've met Billy

Matthew, please open Hell's Kitchen
Let's go

Right away, Chef

[narrator] Once again, Hell's Kitchen
is the hottest ticket in Tinseltown,

booked months in advance

[diners] Cheers!

I had to do a vert demo
to get a reservation here

[narrator]
Orders are already flying into the kitchen

for Chef Ramsay's signature menu

Well, it can't be an anniversary
without a little bubbles for you here, so...

- Thank you so much
- My pleasure

[narrator] And with the twentysomethings
having two extra chefs on their team,

Alyssa and Sakari will be serving

a special New England lobster
Caesar salad

- There you are. I hope you enjoy
- Thank you

- Have a nice night
- Good luck

- Thanks
- Thank you

Red Team, here we go

On order. Four covers, table

- Two scallops, two flatbread. Heard?
- [all] Yes, Chef

Let's go. Quick as you can

- Take control, Alejandro. Let's go
- Yes, Chef

- Drop scallops
- Yes, Chef

- Dropping scallops for two flatbreads
- [Alejandro] Good. Love it

- Blue Team, here we go. Good luck
- [all] Yes, Chef

On order. Table three. Two scallops,
two flatbread, two carbonara

- Yes, Chef
- Heard that, Chef

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

- [O'Shay] I got it
- I'm doing a carbonara

[Alex] I'm dropping my scallops right now

- Carbonara. How long?
- Uh, five minutes, Chef

- Flatbreads?
- [Abe] Coming up

Two flatbread

Billy,
his brain's hopping around everywhere

Two flatbread, two scallops,
two carbonara

Get that riso going, get that riso first
Two carbonara

- Two flatbread, two scallops
- I don't have any risotto

- Two scallops, sorry. Sorry
- Don't confuse me

Billy makes everybody's head spin

He's freaking out
It's not helping right now

Hot pan, Chefs. Scallops

Good. Nice

- Alex. Beautiful cook, the scallops
- Thank you, Chef

- Flatbread, please
- [Abe] Coming, Chef. Right now

- Carbonara walking
- [Abe] Two flatbreads, Chef

Where do you want 'em?

- Very nice, the flatbreads
- [Abe] Thank you, Chef

- [Ramsay] Tara, carbonara, delicious
- Thank you

Very nice. Very nicely done

Hey, I don't need you to follow me
with "very nice."

Your f*cking job here
is to communicate to your team

- You got it
- Okay

So when I say "very nice,"
what are you telling them very nice for?

- I'm sorry, Chef
- Just get in with your team, please

- Yes?
- You got it, Chef

What the f*ck?

Damn it. Gotta bounce back

[narrator] While Billy tries
to contain his enthusiasm...

Guys, we're f*cking crushing it
Let's keep it up

...the twentysomethings are still trying
to complete their first table

Swinging over hot, Chef

- Thank you
- Lovely flatbreads

[Alejandro] Thank you, Chef

Scallops, flatbreads in the pan

- Hey, follow through
- [Alejandro] Heard, Chef

Hey, stop that. Scallops, command

Scallops, please. Flatbread's up

- [Ramsay] Thank you, there you go
- [Ileana] Up right now

Your food's dying now

- Scallops up
- Here

[Christina]
In between, thank you. Very good

- Do you get me?
- I do, Chef

- Can't be a hermit. It's a team
- I do, Chef

- Yes, Chef
- Flatbread to the window

"Hey, my flatbread's dying, scallops."

- We push each other
- Heard, Chef

- You're an executive chef, right?
- Yes, Chef

- Show me. Let's go
- Thank you

I'm trying to have
more confidence in myself

and be the leader that I know I can be

An order, an away
Two risotto, two scallop

[all] Heard, Chef

Guys, right when Chef calls two risotto,
the lobster tails gotta go down quick

You got that lobster down?

Drop two lobsters now

Hey, guys

Fish is one of the easier stations,
especially for two people

Risottos are ready, let's go

But Sommer and Ileana
are just not communicating

Hot, right behind, right behind, hot

Lobster! What's going on with lobster?

[Sommer] You have another tail in here?

Wait! Hold!
We need another lobster tail down

- [Ileana] Why?
- [Sommer] There was only one in there

[Brett] The risotto is up already

[Ramsay] Hey, hey

So his risotto is ready,

- you've cooked the scallops...
- Yes, Chef

...and the person sat next to you
didn't put the lobster tail in

- Sorry, Chef
- It's the same table

Yes, Chef

- And this is basic now
- [Alejandro] Yes, Chef

- Basic stuff
- Yes, Chef

[Ramsay] I don't get it

Because nobody is running that station

- How long for the tail?
- Lobster, two... one minute, Chef

One minute on lobster

I'm super frustrated
running the station with Sommer

I feel like I've been left on a lifeboat
all by myself

and my partner has jumped ship

- Walking lobsters
- Behind you

Walking two lobster tails right now, Chef

[Ramsay] f*cking raw lobster

Give me those scallops

f*ck

[Ramsay] All of you, come here

[narrator] It's minutes
into dinner service

It's been a minute

The Blue kitchen's diners
have barely been fed...

I've got one f*cking table out

Give me those scallops

...and the Red Team's fish station
has attained Chef Ramsay's attention

All of you, come here

[diner] Yikes

What has happened to the f*cking Red Team?

You've switched off
and I'm expecting you to step up, big boy

Heard, Chef

Vlad,
you're just sitting there in silence

You're pathetic

And you're pathetic
because nobody's actually leading

If you've got a risotto
and you're two minutes away,

what's the one thing you're screaming for?

Lobster, Chef

Have a f*cking meeting, sort it out,
or f*ck off, will you?

- [all] Yes, Chef
- Get out of the f*cking way

- Can I just say real quick?
- No. We're gonna figure this out now

- Go ahead
- You need to let us know what's on fire...

- Ileana, take over that station
- Yes

- I'm trying to take over the station
- When fish...

- Yeah
- Yeah, I believe you have this

- We're frustrated, but we got it
- Okay

- [Ileana] Yes, we do
- [Alejandro] Let's f*cking go

[Vlad] Ileana and Sommer are
ruining it for the team right now

We need to get through service tonight
or somebody's going home

Guys, it is a re-fire,
a two scallop, two risotto

I've got your lobster tails down

Three and a half on two risotto,
two scallops to the pass

- [all] Heard
- We got this, come on

Have we got our mojo back?
Are we rolling back?

- Are we talking?
- [all] Yes, Chef

- Walking scallops, walking lobster tail
- [Alejandro] Thank you

Let's go. Behind you, coming down

- There you go. Thank you
- Yes, Chef

[narrator] While the twentysomethings

finally come together
to get appetizers out...

That is good

...the fortysomethings move on to their...

First main course will be
two chicken, two Wellington

- Heard
- [Ramsay] Let's go

[narrator] And a meat-heavy ticket means
the pressure is on O'Shay and Nicole

- [Nicole] Eight minutes, heard
- Five minutes?

- Five minutes
- Five minutes, Chef

[Nicole] Five minutes, heard

Fire it up, please

[Tara] Come on, no oil. Dump it

- [Alex] Butter, garlic, herbs
- Take that out, those out out

Take the chicken out of the pan

One at a time

Take the chicken out, put it in the air

[Nicole] They're all telling me
how to cook when I know how to cook

And they need to stop

I know that I can handle the station

- How long, two chicken, two Wellington?
- [Nicole] Two chicken, two Wellies?

- [Alex] How long?
- Five minutes on the chicken and Wellies

O'Shay is calling, "Five minutes,"
every five minutes

[O'Shay] Five minutes

If you give me wrong times,
my timing is going to be off

- Where's the chicken, please?
- Yes, Chef

Wellington?

Wellington? Where's the Wellington?

- [Alex] It's over
- [Tara] It's over

Is it?

- Oh, my. That one's over
- Over?

Blue Team, help me!

[O'Shay] It's frustrating
because I'm trying to get the meat out

and I'm forgetting
which meat needed to be rested

So everything is just going haywire

Can someone tell me, please?

- [Tara] This chicken ready to go?
- Yes

Two chicken coming to the pass, right now

I've got two chicken,
I've asked for two Wellington

What the f*ck are you two doing on there?
Come on, Blue Team

- Where's the Wellington?
- I got it, they're walking right now

Do you want a soda?
Come on, please, O'Shay

Two Wellies

f*cking hell

Wait, what?

- Blue Team
- Yes, Chef

[Ramsay] O'Shay, Nicole

- Yes, Chef
- Yes, Chef

The Wellington are overcooked
and the chicken is raw

Come down

Look at the color of it

That's not under by seconds, is it?

I'm sorry

I brought up a raw chicken

because everyone's yelling
and I was confused

- Let's go. Please!
- Yes, Chef

They seem to...

I've never had two lobster dishes
in a row, but I highly recommend it

Red Team, here we go

Four covers, table five
Two salmon, two Wellington

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

- How far are you on that?
- Yeah

- I need six. I need six on that
- Six minutes, heard

After Chef Ramsay told us
that we're both pathetic,

it's do or die and I'm not gonna die

So I know that I need to step up
and I need to take lead here

- Two salmon, two Wellington?
- I need four minutes

- [Ramsay] Okay, good
- On the second Wellington

- Four minutes, heard
- Please let me call back time

[Sommer] Do you want me not to touch
anything that's cooking?

[Ileana] Please, let me talk. Let me lead

[Vlad] The fish station tonight,

it's like two high school girls go back
and forth on each other for no reason

I honestly feel like
I'm not really doing sh*t

Even though
we're on the f*cking same team

If you're cooking the salmon,
halibut and scallops,

- what the f*ck am I sitting here doing?
- I hear you

You're taking over and you
don't want me to speak. It's frustrating

[Ileana]
But she's just not listening to me

It's hard to drive
when you got a backseat driver,

but the least thing I'm worried about is
anyone being salty on the line right now

sh*t, man

[Brett] Slicing Wellie, walking Wellie

Walking behind. Walking behind

My skin got kind of f*cked up
It came off

I need six minutes on it. It's still hard

How the f*ck can we wait for a salmon
when the Wellington's ready?

- Nobody's leading
- [Vlad] Yes, Chef

- And now it's the fish
- Yes, Chef

- Can you two sort out a leader?
- [Ileana and Sommer] Yes, Chef

[narrator] While the Red Team
looks for a leader on fish...

Got it. We got it

...Chef Ramsay has another
meat-heavy ticket for the...

Blue Team, listen up. Okay?

Two covers, table
One lamb, one New York strip

- Heard. Throw a lamb down
- [Abe] Heard

O'Shay didn't even answer me there

- How long? He's asking
- Five minutes

- [Ramsay] Five minutes
- Five minutes

All right, I'm on it

That last two-top are celebrating
their th wedding anniversary

[Alex and Nicole] Yes, Chef

They've flown all the way
from England to be here

- Heard?
- [all] Heard

Let's go

[Abe] Two minutes out

- Is this ready?
- It's up to you

[Nicole] Let it rest

I think it's ready

- Where's the lamb, please?
- I got two resting, right here

- Can we go then?
- Yes, Chef

Hot pan

Walking lamb, Chef

Oh, f*cking hell

Blue Team. All of you, come here

Uh-oh

- Come here
- [Nicole] Yes, Chef

This is a joke

[narrator] It's over an hour and a half
into dinner service

This is a joke

[narrator]
And thanks to Nicole and O'Shay,

a table here for a special occasion
is still waiting for their entrees

That lady and gentleman are celebrating
their th wedding anniversary

One lamb, one New York strip

And the New York strip is raw, ice cold

- That was my fault, Chef
- f*ck off

Get out

I'm fuming

How can we not do this?

We're getting kicked out again
We're losing again

Hey, come here!

- Guys, this way
- [Billy] Yes, Chef

Forty years' celebration

They booked the table two months ago

And you brought me
that New York strip ice cold

And then you're just standing there

We've sent three f*cking tables
in minutes

- You should be ashamed
- We are

- We are
- We are, Chef

Very

Get out of here

Sit down and have a good think

'Cause you've gotta cut the fat quickly

Second night in a row,
kicked out of the kitchen

We can't pull our heads far enough
out of our asses to see straight

It's a... It's a nightmare

[narrator] As the over-forties team
heads to the dorms in defeat...

Blue Team really f*cking up

...the twentysomethings
push through their final entrees

- I need three minutes on salmon
- Okay, heard that

- Take a deep breath
- I'm trying to

- I'm trying to not f*ck up the skin
- It's you now

Yes, it's me. I f*cking got this

You can't linger on getting
screamed at now

I don't have time for that
I've gotta bounce back from it

Walking salmon, slicing Wellie

- Hot pan
- Right there

Yeah. Thank you

[Ramsay] Nice. Let's go, guys

- Ileana, nicely done
- [Ileana] Thank you, Chef

- Sell
- Got it

- [Brett] Good job. Come on, guys
- Behind

- Sit it there
- Yes, Chef

[Ileana] Walking

[Ramsay] Service, please

Good job, guys. Good job

All right, guys. Let's finish strong
Keep the momentum up, keep talking

Beautifully cooked, the lamb

- Thank you, Chef
- Thank you, Chef

[Ramsay] Go, please, John. Table

So, you know, these were prepared
by our sous chef, Jason,

since the Blue kitchen
was kicked out of the restaurant

So we wanted to make sure
we finished up with a bang for you

- So worth waiting for
- [husband] Thank you so much

This is insane

[diner]

Red Team, good job tonight

- Thank you, Chef
- Thank you, Chef

[Tara]

[Alex] That was a hundred times
worse than last night

It was a train wreck

You know, I just don't understand
why we can't just come together

Let's just talk about
what we're gonna do right now

I mean, obviously, meats went down

The lack of everything, the motivation,
the movement, you know

O'Shay and Nicole

It's obviously, like, a difficult station,
'cause yesterday meat went up

Meat section is hard

Y'all were incredibly meat-heavy tonight,
but I didn't hear y'all talk at all

I know how to cook
an airline f*cking chicken,

but, like, I don't mean
to throw you under the bus, O'Shay,

but I was not getting the feedback
that I f*cking needed

And the communication has to keep going,
like, between us

If the station goes down
because of just me, I f*cking get it

But O'Shay would just be like a zombie

- [Alex] It's a hard station
- [all] Yes

And opening the oven, he's gonna rip you,
'cause that temperature's dropping

We know that
But if you've got stuff going in and out,

and the chicken going in,
what you want me to do?

You gotta open it, but you gotta go quick
You can't just be like...

You don't know what's going on,
so shut the hell up

It's frustrating

When you know what you can do,
you know what you've done

Billy can say all he wants to say
about the meat or whatever, that's cool

This is the second dinner service
where he messed up

I would say Billy

Because out of my one night messing up,
you messed two nights up

I didn't mess up last night

[Billy] I don't deserve to be nominated

I don't know why
he's got a vendetta against me

[Alex] There was some un-organization
on the garnish station

You were a little all over the place

You don't have to call me out
every f*cking night

- I'm trying to give critical feedback
- I'm just trying to let you know

I was trying to, you know,
get in the program and get everything

But I appreciate letting me know
that I was all over the place. Thank you

- I'm not trying to be mean, man
- [Tara] He's allowed to have his vote

Let him have his vote

Tara, you're so quick to judge
and say this and that on that

I've said one thing

You said we all sucked. And, listen...

I said we all sucked,
we all f*cking sucked. My God

Blue Team, I have one word
that describes tonight's service

Painful

Tara, Blue Team's first nominee, and why

Our first nominee is O'Shay, Chef

The meat station went down,
there was no communication

Wellingtons overcooked,
lamb was undercooked

He just was lost

Second nominee, and why

Our second nominee
is Nicole from the meat station

Raw chicken, overcooked chicken

Lack of confidence,
lack of communication with O'Shay

O'Shay, Nicole, step forward

O'Shay, what in the hell happened tonight
on your station?

It just got beyond me, Chef,
with the oven and trying to get things

I just lost control
I just had a bad night, Chef

[Ramsay] Nicole

What happened on that station tonight?

I didn't feel that I was getting
the proper communication

in regards to Wellington and lamb

Are you a better chef than O'Shay?

I think I am, because I can communicate

O'Shay, are you a better chef than Nicole?

I think I'm a better chef
because I own my mistakes. I own it

I don't bring anybody else into it

I accept responsibility for what I did

This is a very difficult decision

The person leaving Hell's Kitchen...

is...

O'Shay

Take off your jacket

Young man,
I did not witness any form of fight back

- You froze
- Yes, Chef

And that is why you're not
joining me in Atlantic City

Please give me your jacket

- Thank you, sir
- Good night

Thank you

It's disappointing when you don't
perform up to your standards,

and certainly
up to Chef Ramsay's standards

But that's my next thing, to keep pushing,

to take what I learned
from Chef Ramsay here,

and it makes me want more for myself

It makes me dream, so I'm gonna dream

Nicole, back in line

- [Abe] You go, girl
- Thanks

Blue Team, I'm done with the bullshit

Get out of here

[Nicole] I really want to be here

I want to compete, and I want to cook

I have a lot of work
that needs to be done

The Blue Team is just not good

Sooner or later,
there's not gonna be any of them left

Are you kidding me? We keep losing

Maybe trimming the fat was for the best

because we are not working
together at all

[Ramsay] Some evictions
are harder than others

This was an easy one

Goodbye, O'Shay

[Alex] Y'all are kicking ass
So, congratulations

You got your little table of fame
over there

It's really, really exciting
to walk by all the time

- Could we... Can we just make sure...
- Hold on

[ringing]

- [Dafne] Guys, the phone
- sh*t

- Phone
- [ringing continues]

Hello, this is Brett

Brett, it's Chef

I need to see everybody
in the dining room immediately

Yes, Chef

Everybody's gotta go
in the dining room right now

- What?
- Heard

[Cheyenne] Whatever this is, it's weird

Hey, Chef is f*cking pissed. We all gotta
go to the dining room right now

- [Nicole] Wait, what?
- [Tara] Let's go, Chef's pissed

I have no shoes on
What could possibly be going on?

- [Nicole] I need shoes
- [Tara] Careful, he doesn't care

[Nicole] Oh, my God

Did he change his mind?

[Ramsay] I've been sitting in my office

replaying tonight's service,

the service before that

Everything we've done so far
in this competition

We have one kitchen
that is dominating the competition

It can't go on like this

And that is why...

starting from tomorrow,

all the women will be in the Red kitchen...

and all the men will be
in the Blue kitchen

I am not going to continue serving
half the diners in this restaurant

[narrator] Next time on Hell's Kitchen...

In the first
Battle of the Sexes challenge...

Let's do this

...which chef will be
crowned the burger queen...

- That is good
- Well done

Yeah, boys. How does that feel?

- ...and the burger king?
- Show what we got

Guys, let's go
If you need anything, holler, please

I'm definitely gonna butter up
my brioche buns, you know what I'm saying?

[narrator]
And who will be a total nothing burger?

Raw f*cking meat

[narrator] It's the wettest...

It hurts me, like...

Looks like I can't cook fish now

...wildest episode yet

You know, when you're having,
like, crazy, uncontrollable sex

And you're like,
"I need you to slow the f*ck down."

[laughing]
