The teams take on a compelling surf and turf dome challenge, with the winners enjoying rooftop surfing above the Las Vegas skyline, and the losers making crab-cakes for service.
Male narrator: Previously
on hell's kitchen...
Marc:
We got to start from scratch.
Narrator: Marc tried
to put his issues
with the blue team behind him.
I want to work well
with you guys.
I'm over arguing
with the blue team.
That turned the house
against me.
Narrator: In the morning,
both teams found
something to celebrate...
-It's my birthday.
-Happy birthday!
Narrator: And their challenge
started on a high note.
Yeah!
Narrator: The chefs first
unleashed some energy.
(rock music)
♪ lobster ravioli, yeah
narrator: And then they had to
modernize an italian classic.
-Mary lou: Biggest side first?
-Yep.
Mary lou: It's good
when you can see
your fingers underneath.
Who's [bleep] risotto is this?
It's burned.
Narrator: And while lauren
and amber rocked out...
-Beautiful.
-Yeah.
Thank you.
Narrator: Jordan...
Jon:
My risotto's undercooked.
Thank you, chefs.
Narrator: Syann...
I'm judging you
on tortellini.
There isn't any there.
Narrator: And josh...
-It's too dense.
-Yeah.
Narrator: All fell flat.
Josh: That's how my birthday's
gonna start today?
Narrator: In dinner service,
josh was lost on garnish...
Ramsay: All of you,
taste the mash.
-Adam: Salt, salt, salt.
-Ramsay: Bland, bland.
Narrator: And amber drowned
on the fish station.
Look, raw.
Come on, amber.
What's happening?
I know you can do
better than this.
I know how to cook salmon.
Narrator:
Over in the red kitchen...
Oh, jordan,
[bleep] hell, man.
(tense music)
I do not get it.
Narrator: Jordan's scallops
took a wallop.
Tough, tough, tough it up.
Narrator: And the meat statin
had its share of issues.
Ramsay: And the lamb,
that might as well
be back in the field.
-Mary lou?
-Yes, chef?
Ramsay: Drive it.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
Yes, chef.
Narrator: But mary lou
came to the rescue
and led her kitchen
to victory.
-Ramsay: Mary lou?
-Mary lou: Yes, chef?
-Ramsay: Nicely cooked.
Mary lou:
I'm so [bleep] proud of you.
I'm proud of you.
You were an awes--
oh, don't hug me
in front of chef.
Don't hug me in front of chef.
Don't touch me.
Ooh, ooh.
Narrator: So the blue team
nominated...
-Adam: Amber.
-Narrator: And...
Adam: Josh.
Narrator: Before chef ramsay
eliminated...
Josh.
Narrator: Ending his dream
of becoming head chef
at hell's kitchen lake tahoe.
(dramatic music)
and now the continuation
of hell's kitchen.
Now it's time
to emerge as leaders.
-Got it?
-All: Yes, chef.
-Good night.
-Cody: Good night, chef.
Declan: Thank you, chef.
Amber: That's awful.
I never want to disappoint
chef ramsay,
and my team threw my name
in the hat
because they think
I'm a big threat.
Nobody wants to be
in the final two
with somebody who they feel
is stronger than them.
It's so [bleep] up.
So I just need to keep my eye
on the prize.
Wanna go in the hot tub
with me?
Oh, god, yeah,
let's go in the hot tub.
Let's all get weird.
Mary lou: All right,
let's go get in the hot tub.
Mary's getting naked.
Amber:
I don't know how to relax,
but if you're doing
back massages,
I bet you
I can learn real quick.
Syann:
All right, cody.
Sorry, I gotta get
in here for--
she just went
through elimination.
Cody: Holy [bleep],
I see the light.
Amber: Oh, she's good
with her hands.
I like it.
I like it.
That's 'cause she's been
a lesbian before.
She's right about that.
What, because you used
to be a lesbian?
Syann:
Uh-huh.
I don't know how somebody
used to be.
It's just you ain't
found another chick
-you want to [bleep] with.
-Yeah.
It's all about the fingers.
(whispers)
spirit fingers.
Ooh, I see ass.
Hello.
She's, like, wearing a thong.
You better watch out.
Cody's on the loose.
Lauren:
Today was a stressful day.
We made it through.
We're still here, so,
hell yeah, we're celebrating.
This one over here,
big booty judy.
Syann:
How y'all doing?
(laughs)
syann: Can I--can I get
your number?
Can I--can I cook for you
on Wednesday nights?
Hell yeah.
Cody: Oh, my god.
All right, I gotta go
check my blood pressure.
I'm gonna be out back.
[bleep], lord in heaven.
Whoo!

-ramsay: Right, good morning.
-All: Good morning, chef.
Las vegas is now one
of the culinary capitals
-in the world, yes?
-All: Yes, chef.
Ramsay:
And surf and turf
has been a vegas staple
for decades,
but today it has evolved.
Great chefs
have been reinventing
that dish for years,
and that is what today's
challenge is all about.
(sweeping music)
♪■
syann: I love surf and turf:
Lobster, shrimp, scallops,
a little piece of steak.
I'm getting hungry.
Sorry.
(laughs)
ramsay: But you're not gonna
be cooking a surf and turf.
You're gonna be tasting it.
Oh, [bleep], I'm allergic.
Great.
I'm allergic
to shellfish.
Holy [bleep].
Ramsay: Each team
will compete one at a time,
and you'll be paired
in groups of two.
When I say go, first team
will taste the dish,
run into the dining room,
find those proteins, run back,
and place them
next to the dish.
If both proteins are wrong,
the lights will turn red.
(buzzer buzzes)
if the proteins are right,
the light will turn green.
(bell chimes)
but if you get one
right and one wrong,
the light will turn blue.
The team that identifies
all six proteins the fastest
wins the challenge.
Red team, you won
dinner service last night,
so you're up first.
Jordan:
This is gonna be fun.
Ramsay:
Blue team, head to the patio.
Both: Yes, chef.
-First pair, step up, please.
-Jordan: Let's go, ladies.
Mary lou: All right.
Come on, girls.
Ramsay:
On your mark, set, go.
Narrator:
In today's challenge,
chef ramsay
has disguised several proteis
to look like traditional
surf and turf dishes.
Come on, ladies!
Narrator: Each pair must
correctly identify
both proteins
used to make the dish.
-Nikki: Catfish, guys, catfish.
-Lauren: Nuh-uh.
Nikki:
Looks like it.
When we pull off that dome,
I see fried chicken.
I see clams.
Chicken and clams.
It's really that easy.
I'll get the chicken.
Mary lou:

Lauren: Where's chicken?
Mary lou: Right there

nikki: It's not gonna be
the obvious, girls.
Mary lou: This is dry.
Nikki:
It's probably turkey.
Lauren:
That's pork, pork.

Let's guess.
It doesn't work, throw it away.
We pick another one.

ramsay: Oof, 8:46.
Syann: I never had
squab before,
and I still can't
get this gamey,
meaty taste out of my mouth.
Ramsay: Okay, blue team,
let me show you
the time you
have to beat.
8:46.
Marc: Okay, ladies, I see you,
but we gon' beat you today.
Ramsay: Now, you have to come
in under that.
Cody:
Let's do this, baby.
Nikki: As the clock ticks down,
the pressure's
a little bit higher.
Cody and marc, blue team,
you're first up.
In position, please.
Nikki: I'm hoping that that
gets to the blue team's head.
On your mark, get set, go.
Let's go.
Narrator: With the clock
ticking down
from the red team's time,
marc and cody start things of
for the blue team.

-Cody: And chicken, chef.
(buzzer buzzes)
ramsay:
You have nothing right.
Cody:
Told you, bro.
Adam: Go, run.
I think I was half right.
It was a clam shell.
It's mussels, for sure.

Bison is right.
Declan is so scatterbrained
that he's picking up
the same protein boards.
Cody: Is that--you
already had that.
-You already had that, declan.
-Ramsay: (laughs)
declan: So dungeness crab.
No, you already took
that one.
This guy's just all over, man.
-Grab something.
-Let's go back.
I'm gonna taste it.
[bleep] it.
We're not getting anywhere.
I need to taste the shellfish,
even if it might kill me.
-Declan: It's a [bleep] crab.

Right away, I know.
Tastes like lobster.

(buzzer buzzes)
ramsay: Zero.
Come on, guys.
Three minutes to go.
Come on.

Come on!
I'm an old man
with a bad knee.
-Goat, cod.
-(buzzer buzzes)
nope.

It is down to the wire.
They are on their last plate.

like, "snapper, snapper."
I'm like, "snapper!"
let's go!
Bring it back!

-Cody: Bring the snapper back!
Snapper or flounder,

jordan: Snapper!
Snapper!
Amber:
The girls won.
Jordan: Snapper, squab.
Cody: I can't tell you how
many times I yelled snapper.
We should have won.
Ramsay:
Red team, well done.
All: Thank you, chef.
You girls are gonna ride
this wave of victory
to planet hollywood's rooftop
flowrider surfing experience.
(cheers and applause)
nikki: I said I wanted
to go swimming.
-Are you ready to hang ten?
-All: Yes, chef.
-Jordan: Let's get it.
-Go get ready.
-All: Thank you, chef.
-Ramsay: Well done. Good job.
Jordan: We're going surfing.
We're gonna hang ten.
Hell yeah.
Oh, blue team, damn.
You had it.
Cody:
That we did, chef.
Ramsay:
Right, while the ladies
are enjoying
some fun in the sun,
you're gonna suffer through
one shell of a punishment
because you will be shelling,
by hand, crab.
Oh, great.
I'm also allergic to crab.
This is awful.
You have to prepare
all the crab that
we need for tonight's menu.
Right, head to the patio.
Oh, boy, taken down
by a snapper.
Amber: I can't believe
there were mussels
in those clam shells.
Cody:
I was telling you guys, man.
We dropped the ball
on this one.
You gotta believe
in your team, bro.
Smoke?
Declan: (clears throat)
(sighs)
amber: Do you see
what's going on there?
Mm-hmm.
Amber:
Like, cody doesn't smoke.
What am I supposed to do?
Nothing.
You just do you.
[bleep] them.
It's not easy
to switch teams.
Amber: The blue team has such
a different mentality
for how to get through
all of this together.
Any chance somebody's not
looking and they can [bleep]
somebody over,
it's gonna happen.
If you guys are gonna
have team meetings,
you want to get everybody?
'cause--
we're not having
a team meeting.
I came out here
to smoke a cigarette.
Like, if it's gonna be, like,
let's play dirty, then fine.
-Cody: It's not that.
-Adam: Yeah, what is this--
we're talking about measuring
out the [bleep] crab cake.
I'm just saying, like,
all the girls just,
like, literally said
in front of marc and I, like,
"hey, you realize they just
said--like, cody said smoke
and cody doesn't smoke
and they left you two in here."
adam: I don't know why
you listen to the red team.
I really just want
to work as a team,
and I don't want any problems,
you know?
Declan: So don't be listening
to the girls.
They're putting
daggers into you.
Amber: It's really
uncomfortable switching teams,
and I'm just trying
to do the right thing.
But you're on the blue team
now, so chill.
- Amber: All right.
-Declan: Paranoia?
Adam:
So [bleep] annoying.
Amber is still, like, half
red team, half blue team.
She needs to understand
that if she wants to go far
in this competition,
she needs to be
fully blue team
or she's gonna get
pushed out all the way.
Let's go.
Declan: Everybody got
the crab cake recipe?
Adam: Yeah, you big,
beautiful beast.
Declan: (exhales sharply)
cody:
Well, well, well. [bleep].
Amber: Oh, my god.
Adam: Oh.
This [bleep] sucks.
Do not get a shell
in here, okay?
That's the last thing
we're gonna need.
-Cody: Yes, chef.
-Amber: Yes, chef.
Adam: Okay,
let's get it moving.
Crab city.
(quirky music)
♪■
how bad is it looking
for how much meat you need?
After we pick through
all the shells,
we need to yield at least
40 pounds for 200 crab cakes.
(exhales sharply)
all right.
Marc: I've worked with crab
plenty of times in the past
but never this many crabs.
(exhales sharply)
marc: You know,
we're suffering right now.
Cody: Hands are gonna [bleep]
be raw after this [bleep].
Declan: You separate the body
from the legs,
and in the torso, there's small
filaments in between each one,
so you have to crack them,
and then you pick it out
with a stick.
You start working
on the place.
Amber: We also need
fresh shallot,
fresh parsley,
lemon zest.
There's a lot of components,
and we need 200 crab cakes.
You ever been surfing,
declan?
Do I look like
I've ever been surfing?

is enjoying the perks
that come with winning...
Cody: If we lose another team
member, how will that work?
He'll start bringing
the girls over here.
Narrator: The blue team is
discussing the ramifications
of their losing streak.
Yeah, but I still think that's
not a good mind-set to have.
Yeah, that--I don't
want that to happen.
Yeah.
Cody: 'cause then amber's
gonna team up with her,
and then we're all [bleep].

that is a little aggressive.
Amber, you've got
to start trusting us.
Amber: I just felt like
they had my back
in a different way over there.
I told you,
we've got your back.
Adam:
I'm staying quiet on this.
Amber:
Why are you staying quiet?

this competition tonight,
you girls are dreaming.
Cut the [bleep].
Is that clear?
All: Yes, chef.
Get out of here.
Kori: I'm legit pissed off.
If that's how you guys
want to play the game,
bitches, you all on your own.
I ain't got nothing
to prove to you
or anybody else
in this competition.
All I care about is showing
chef gordon ramsay
I'm gonna be
his next head chef.
Adam: I think everyone on the
red team is weak right now,
so I'm gonna kinda
just sit back,
get through my dinner services,
and just knock 'em off
one by one.
Jordan: I don't think
I deserved
to be up there tonight.
I don't think I was the worst
performing cook by any means.
Hopefully chef ramsay sees my
resilience and my perseverance
'cause I'm just not prepared
to go home yet.
I still have more things to do,
more things to show,
more things to prove.
Ramsay: Sy's winning
personality and determination
were enough to take her far,
but her lack of experience
made me say sy-onara.

a different mentality
for how to get through
all of this together.
Any chance somebody's not
looking and they can [bleep]
somebody over,
it's gonna happen.

have team meetings,

Like, if it's gonna be, like,
let's play dirty, then fine.

out the [bleep] crab cake.

I really just want

They're putting
daggers into you.

But you're on the blue team
now, so chill.

So when you're getting
snowed under,
the secret of a great chef
is using everybody else
around you...
-Syann: Yes, chef.
-Ramsay: And standing strong.
I had people helping me,
but at that point,
once we're flustered,
communication goes,
quality goes,
and at that point,
we're rushing
and not taking our time.
Ramsay: But the big question
I've got for you,
are you better than jordan?
Yes, chef.
♪■
ramsay: Theme of the night:
Accountability.
♪■
so my decision is...
♪■
jordan...
Get back in line.

ramsay: Sy, let me tell you
something really important.
-The energy was there.
-Syann: Mm-hmm.
Ramsay: But you need
to open up.
Yes, chef.
Ramsay: You need to talk
before you go down.
Absolutely, chef.
I want you to
keep your head up.
Syann: I will, chef.
Ramsay: And do not give up.
Understood?
Heard, chef.
Give me your jacket,
young lady.
Syann: Yes, chef.
This was amazing, chef.
Thank you so much.
I learned so much.
Thank you to the blue team,
the red team.
-Adam: Love you, sy.
-Declan: Love you, sy.
-Syann: Y'all take it home.
-Nikki: You're my girl.
-Syann: Thank you, chef.
-Ramsay: Good night.
(all speaking at once)
(wistful music)
syann: Although I may not be
ready right now
for lake tahoe,
my journey was amazing.
I fought every day.
Chef ramsay told me
to keep my head up,
and that's exactly
what I'm gonna do, period.
Ramsay: Ladies,
if you honestly think that kori
deserved to leave
this competition tonight,
you girls are dreaming.
Cut the [bleep].
Is that clear?
All: Yes, chef.
Get out of here.
Kori: I'm legit pissed off.
If that's how you guys
want to play the game,
bitches, you all on your own.
I ain't got nothing
to prove to you
or anybody else
in this competition.
All I care about is showing
chef gordon ramsay
I'm gonna be
his next head chef.
Adam: I think everyone on the
red team is weak right now,
so I'm gonna kinda
just sit back,
get through my dinner services,
and just knock 'em off
one by one.
Jordan: I don't think
I deserved
to be up there tonight.
I don't think I was the worst
performing cook by any means.
Hopefully chef ramsay sees my
resilience and my perseverance
'cause I'm just not prepared
to go home yet.
I still have more things to do,
more things to show,
more things to prove.
Ramsay: Sy's winning
personality and determination
were enough to take her far,
but her lack of experience
made me say sy-onara.

narrator: Next time
on hell's kitchen...
-(phone rings)
-amber: Hello?
Ramsay: I need to see everybody
in the dining room immediately.
-Amber: Heard, chef.
-Marc: Adam, let's go.
Narrator: One surprise
phone call...
Ramsay: I have something
very important to tell you.
Narrator: Leads to an earth-
shattering announcement.
Tonight I'm closing
hell's kitchen.
Narrator: That rocks every
chef to their core.
Marc: I'm having a hard time
even breathing right now.
Lauren: Whoo!
Now it's a party.
Kori: I'll be damned if I don't
go down with a [bleep] fight.
Narrator: Tune in to see
who stumbles, who crumbles...
Well, I tried it once.
Yeah, but that
was different.
Narrator: And who survives.
Adam: Amber, do you need help?
No.
Yes--no.
