The teams, clearly bonded and determined to win, begin prepping for dinner service. The women are excited to show their stuff without Lacey. Ramsay collects the team and tells Paula that her tuna dish was one of the best he’s ever tasted, and he’s putting it on the menu tonight. He opens Hell’s Kitchen for service. After the last service, we hope it’s a come-back night for the cheftestants.

Giovanni’s on appetizers (uh oh, risotto)… but actually impresses Ramsay with his dishes. As does LA. Both chefs enjoy a rare compliment. The appetizers are flying out, when a big twist comes in: a table of massive sumo wrestlers come in and order the entire menu, each. Ramsay splits the order between the teams. Lacey (surprise of the day) shows lots of motivation and leadership on the Blue side. Andrea burns some Wellingtons, delaying the Red team’s big orders. J has the opposite problem with rare Wellingtons. Ramsay once again lays into Colleen for leaving the oven door open. Ramsay discovers Andrea three burnt Wellingtons that she hid, and throws a fit. Ramsay calls Robert “Bobby,” and Robert does NOT like that nickname (something to do with his father and a rough childhood). Robert quickly shuts down, doesn’t answer Chef’s questions about the entrees. Ramsay gets fed up with his mistakes and attitude, and Robert holds back his anger. In the confessional, he gets it out and moons the camera.

Andrea’s still off on her timing, and throwing off the entire team’s dishes. The service is at a standstill, and not getting better. J messes up everything he’s working on, and starts to buckle and forget dishes. The women send out a frozen dessert, completely raw—thanks to Colleen. The rest of the team can’t believe that the dish went out. Ramsay is now at the end of his rope (sound familiar?) and shuts down service, calling it their worst so far. He tells Andrea she was useless, and then tells everyone to (here comes one of my favorite Ramsayisms) SHUT IT OFF!

Ramsay asks Robert why he won’t look at him when he talks, and Robert says he’d like to discuss it in private. Ramsay tells the teams that the meat sections on both sides were “horrific.” He commends Giovanni and LA for their performance, and asks each to nominate one chef from their teams.

The teams go back to the house, and Ramsay calls in Robert to talk about their incident during service. Robert tells Ramsay that being called Bobby and being insulted brings back bad memories. Ramsay apologizes and respectfully promises to not do it again. LA says Andrea and Colleen are on her list to go up for elimination—but Andrea is a good chef and Colleen is consistently bad. Giovanni has a toss-up between J and Robert.

LA puts up Andrea for elimination for her lack of cooking and communication during service. Giovanni puts up J for his all-around poor performance during service.

Ramsay asks each chef why (s)he should stay. J calls the service his worst performance in his career, but he has the talent and the drive to be there. Andrea wants to stay to be back on the meat station and nail it to prove she has what it takes.

Ramsay tells J and Andrea to both get back in line. Ramsay calls Colleen up, tells her that each of her services have been awful, and tells her to take off her jacket and leave Hell’s Kitchen. Colleen stays positive after leaving, and Ramsay commends her fight, telling the rest of the chefs they need to develop fight inside them. Robert, J, and Andrea all count their blessings and vow not to mess up again. Ramsay ends the episode saying the Colleen needed to go back to teaching “because she certainly can’t cook.”
