Episode Summary

The two teams of aspiring chefs are asked for their challenge to create three dishes for a homecoming party for Staff Sergeant Otis James. Two chefs receive a briefing from his wife and then their teams put this knowledge to work, but only one does a good job of it. They are rewarded with a day of mock fighter pilot combat, while the losing team is made to decorate for the surprise party under the direction of Ramsay's wife, Tana Ramsay. The dinner service sees the return of the Sergeant from a tour of duty in Iraq. He is pleased by his food, but Chef Ramsay isn't pleased by the performance of one of the teams. One team performs so badly that the other team ends up completing not only their own tables but the other team's as well.moreless

      ADD TRIVIA
      • Rewards Challenge: The dinner service in this episode was a surprise party for Staff Sergeant Otis James of the U.S. Marine Corps. For the challenge, Chef Ramsay brought in his wife, Mrs. Latasha James and had her explain her husband's likes and dislikes to Robert of the Blue Team and Suzanne of the Red Team. Both teams then had 45 minutes to prepare and cook items for a menu based on these tastes. Reward: The Blue Team won this challenge with two out of three dishes and was rewarded by becoming fighter pilots for the day. They got to fly in fighter jets and were trained in aerial combat maneuvers. Punishment: For losing, the Red Team was made to decorate the entire dining room ahead of the party under the supervision of Gordon Ramsay's wife, Tana. Edit
      • Nominees for Elimination: The Red Team had a total meltdown during dinner service and failed to send out even a single entree. Asked to present the evening's nominations, Tennille explained that her fellow chefs had nominated Tek for deflating in the past several services and herself, but she didn't feel that she should go up. She suggested Amanda instead. Ramsay called forward both Tek and Tennille and then had Amanda step forward as well. He had Tennille state her case, then agreed that she didn't deserve to go and had her step back in line. Eliminated: Tek Edit

      • Chef Ramsay: I kept on waiting for Tek to emerge. She couldn't even handle her station. Tek had a total meltdown. Edit
      • Tek: Life is not over for me after Hell's Kitchen because I am a crazy bad-ass girl and I'm a hell of a lot better than Chef Ramsay saw. Edit
