**Michelle "Mick" Fujisaki** was a contestant on Hell's Kitchen Roleplay: Season 3, and on Hell's Kitchen Roleplay Season 5: Rookies VS Veterans. She was the runner-up in Season 3, and she finished in 8th place in Rookies VS Veterans .

## Personality

Mick began the competition as a quiet chef, staying in the background. This led to her making several mistakes during her first two services. Due to these mistakes, she allied with many chefs on the blue kitchen, acting friendly towards everyone. She became particularly close with Kiibo and Brent, who helped encourage her to rebound after her nomination. However, she's shown a dislike towards Abby due to her relationship with Jesse and performances in service, as well as Terrence for sinking in the first service. She's had a rocky relationship with Hamish due to clashes in challenges and poor dinner services. She's also befriended Pory, Brynn, and Christina during the season. Mick's also very open about her personal struggles, leading to some emotional moments. Mick has also gained a voice during her time, becoming laser-focused on getting food served properly. This has led to her becoming louder and more demanding following Pory's ejection and during the Black Jacket phase.

During her second run, she was much more confident with a hint of arrogance. Michelle retained her friendships with Kiibo and Brynn, as well as connected with Riyonn and patched things up with Pory. She also became great friends with Daisy, starting a friendly rivalry during her time on the red team. She connected with Hal as well due to their strengths in the kitchen. However, this time she's become more cynical, taking her nomination for Cook For Your Life very poorly. In addition, she's shown flashes of anger at Jamal as well for what she perceived to be arrogance. This led to her downfall.

## Season 23 (RP)

### Episode 1

Mick entered Hell's Kitchen alongside seventeen other chefs new to the competition. When she entered the blue bedroom, Brent asked him who she believed the weakest chefs were. She stated that she believes Terrence talks a good game, but doesn't think he's mature enough for the competition. She voted for Brent to be the team leader.

During the Signature Dish challenge, she was pleasantly surprised with Walter's dish scoring a 5 out of 5 after questioning if the venison was cooked properly. Mick was the seventh person on the blue team to present her signature dish. She brought forward salmon dressed in a pineapple glaze with a side of roasted fingerling potatoes. She confessed that she was really nervous when presenting, as she wanted to make sure the blue team looked the best. She was praised for the well cooked salmon and potatoes, but was criticized for not having as much of the pineapple glaze. She scored a 4 out of 5 on the signature dish. She confessed that she agreed she was too conservative on the sauce for her dish, but proud of her efforts. The blue team won the Signature Dish challenge. After Hamish won the challenge for the blue team with a 5 out of 5, Mick stated that this was a good omen for the blue team.

Mick worked the appetizer section with Brent on opening night. She stated that it was intimidating to be on apps, but felt confident as she working alongside Brent, a chef that she felt was strong. During the second order of appetizers, she brought up undercooked carbonara, as her oven wasn't hot enough. After 30 seconds, her refired carbonara was accepted. She moved to help the fish section during the final order of appetizers, feeling frustrated with Terrence's lackadaisical attitude, but confident that the blue team could hold down service without him. After Terrence attempted to help out, she told Terrence to back off her order of scallops. She was frustrated that even though Terrence was three times her age, he was incompetent with meat and blamed Mick instead. She ordered Terrence to get off the app station since she and Brent were already there. When Terrence talked back to Chef Ramsay, Mick commented that she was about to watch an old man get put in a retirement home by Chef Ramsay. She pointed out that a fish order was under, and needed to cook slightly longer, which got accepted. She was thrown off by Terrence's inconsistent times while Mick was on fish. She stated that even with a few hundred pounds of dead weight, being Terrence, the blue team was rocking service. The blue team won service, but Mick noticed that a chef from the red team had disappeared. She learned that Shaggy had been ejected by Chef Ramsay for his sheer incompetence. During the elimination ceremony, she watched Terrence get eliminated from the competition, despite being on the winning team, even refusing to give Chef Ramsay his jacket.

### Episode 2

Chef Ramsay introduced the chefs to the theme of the next challenge, being ramen. Mick made a Cha Shu Rolled Pork Belly Ramen, and considered adding Tamago to go along with it. She made too much ramen during the challenge time, and got upset when Hamish helped her, telling Hamish to go back to working on his own dish. Mick argued for her dish to be put up in place of Hamish's. She suggested putting up her own dish, as well as Kiibo and Brent's. She was upset her dish was not one of the three to present to Chef Ramsay. The blue team lost the challenge, but Kiibo won the punishment pass.

For the second service, Mick was on the fish station with Pory. Her scallops were undercooked, alongside Kiibo's ramen. Her second attempt was accepted, but Mick didn't want to sink her team by continuously making mistakes. Once again, Mick's oven was down, explaining the previous mistake. She fought with Pory, who added more butter to the lobster they had on order. Mick then sent up the lobster despite Pory's protests. This and Walter's glass thermometer breaking in the ramen was the final straw for Chef Ramsay, who kicked the blue team out of service. Both teams lost the service, and were instructed to come up with two nominees for elimination. In the dorms, she went with the majority vote to put Walter up as their first nominee. Mick was then voted up by Brent and Kiibo, with most of the team agreeing. Mick understood, but argued that Hamish wasn't pulling his weight and had been off all day.

At elimination, Brent announced Walter as the blue team's first nominee and Mick as the blue team's second nominee. The two were joined by Abby and Brynn from the red team. However, the four were also joined by Brent and Teruteru, called forward by Chef Ramsay. When asked why she should stay in Hell's Kitchen, Mick stated that tonight would not be her permanent downfall, and that she could bounce back tomorrow because she knew she was the chef Ramsay was looking for. She was then shocked by Teruteru's rage and passion-fueled rant to stay in Hell's Kitchen. Mick and Brynn were ordered to get back in line by Chef Ramsay. Mick fist bumped Kiibo after getting back in line. She also whispered "thank god" when Brent was ordered to get back in line as well. The blue team then said goodbye to Walter as he was transferred to the red team, and said hello to Abby as she was transferred to the blue team. Mick stated that she dodged a bullet, but felt she could still show Chef Ramsay that she was worthy of being his next head chef.

### Episode 3

Mick and Ronald were paired up together for the sushi challenge. Mick stated that she was comfortable with sushi, and stated that the secret for the perfect sushi roll was to have it in good portions and with a small kick of wasabi. Mick got her first plate of sushi accepted, but was frustrated with Ronald for getting his first two attempts at sushi rolls rejected. Mick received a second plate of sushi to be deemed perfect, yelling at Ronald to pick up the pace after he got his third attempt at sushi rejected. The blue team lost the challenge. During the punishment, Mick and the majority of the blue team were upset with Ronald's poor performance. When Ronald apologized for his failures during the challenge, Mick told him to dial it back in for dinner service. When lifting a heavy slab of meat during the punishment, Mick commented that this could be the reason she could become vegetarian. She was concerned with Kiibo not looking well physically, but was reassured by Kiibo's positive attitude. Mick confessed that while she was close to Kiibo, she could tell he wasn't at 100 percent as of right now and was worried for him. She was confused when Brent found beer in the blue team's refrigerator.

During service, Mick was paired with Kiibo on the fish station. She offered to drive since Kiibo's voice was shot and he wasn't feeling well, but Kiibo said he wasn't going to take a backseat during service. Chef Ramsay announced that tonight was meat lover's night in Hell's Kitchen, but told the fish stations they wouldn't be able to slack off tonight. When Hamish said that the blue team can win this service, Mick responded that they were going to win. During appetizers, Mick communicated with the rest of the blue kitchen. When Kiibo ws criticized for his voice not being heard, Mick helped fill the rest of the team in as to what he was saying. When Brent and Ronald messed up during the second order of appetizers, Mick confessed that she was getting nervous about both of the men's performances. She called out timings due to Kiibo's voice not improving, and continued to be a translator for Kiibo. Mick confessed that she felt bad since she knew Kiibo was a strong chef, but she believed that he could pull through. After Brent and Ronald got kicked out, Mick ordered Hamish to join Kiibo on the appetizers. She joked that Kiibo literally found his voice on the appetizer section. Eventually, Mick got out multiple successful fish entrees, receiving praise from the rest of the blue team. When Jesse made a comment about how he loves meat, she jokingly responded that she loves meat too. During the final ticket, she expressed her frustration with the failures on the meat section. The blue team were kicked out of service. Both teams lost the service.

During deliberation, Mick attempted to comfort Kiibo, who was frustrated for his lack of voice, arguments between Pory and Abby, and dinner service being a disaster. Mick stated that while she saw Brent as important, it was the sinking of the appetizers section as her reasoning to put up Brent and Ronald. She said that while she is putting Brent up, she expects Brent to stay in the competition. Mick confessed she felt like there was no good option for who to put up for elimination, considering Pory, Brent, and Ronald all together as a possibility.

At elimination, Mick announced the first nominee to be Ronald. She stated that this was because Ronald failed to communicate and brought the appetizer station down. The second nominee was a difficult decision according to her, but announced that Brent was the blue team's second nominee due to his failure to regain control of the appetizer station. She whispered to Kiibo that she noticed the red team had just fallen apart while Hugh argued with the red team. She was shocked to see Ronald get eliminated by Chef Ramsay.

After Ronald's elimination, Brent stated that he was pissed off about the results of the dinner service, to which Mick responded that everybody should be. When Brent argued that Pory should've been called up instead of him, Mick expected Pory to be called up as well. However, she stated that she knew Chef Ramsay saw strength in Brent, which is why he didn't get sent home. Mick considered chugging bourbon due to the intense arguments between Pory and Brent about who should've been up for elimination. When Brent argued that he shouldn't have been considered, Mick responded by saying that if a chef isn't pulling their weight, they deserve to be called out, just like herself and Walter were the previous service. She had a chat with Pory about the latter's poor performance, and stated that she still believed in the blue team, in spite of the poor performances tonight. She also considered Jesse's actions as a possible detriment to the blue team after encouraged by Brent.

### Episode 4

Mick and the other remaining contestants were gathered on to a bus by their sous chefs. When they arrived at a pond, Mick was shocked to see Chef Ramsay cruising down the pond on a speedboat. She was slightly disappointed when Chef Ramsay told them they wouldn't be cruising around in a speedboat like his for the upcoming challenge. Instead, the chefs would pair up in rowboats and row dishes across the pond for Chef Ramsay to inspect and either accept or reject them. Mick and Kiibo were selected to create five baskets of dumplings. She helped offer Kiibo advice with the dumplings, comparing them to pierogis and reminding Kiibo not to overstuff them. All five of their baskets were accepted, much to the delight of both Mick and Kiibo. The blue team won the challenge.

Kiibo motivated Mick and the rest of the blue team as it was Brent's birthday. Mick was assigned to the fish station for the third consecutive service, now with Jesse. She delegated Jesse to split the work alongside her, with Mick being the driver of the station. The pair got through the appetizers section without any problems. The fish station brought up perfect salmon and halibut, but were held back due to Pory's undercooked pork and undercooked garnish. Mick offered help to Pory, but was declined. She and Jesse continued to be solid on fish. She confessed that while the blue team finished, she was disappointed with the amount of mistakes made that night. Both teams lost the service and had to come up with two nominees from each team.

In the dorms, Pory nominated himself, receiving respect from Mick for his honesty. She questioned Kiibo as to why he was planning on nominating Jesse, as the team were decided between sending either Jesse or Brent up with Pory. Mick was not nominated for elimination.

### Episode 5

Mick took off her jacket along with the other remaining chefs to participate in the communication challenge. She was assigned sliders on her jacket and read Brent's jacket back to him. Unfortunately, she told Brent he was making hoagie rolls. When she presented her sliders, they received good notes from Chef Ramsay. She realized that she had cost Brent a point due to her miscommunication and was deeply ashamed. The blue team lost the challenge 3-4.

Kiibo chose Mick and Brent to replace him in the reward with the red team, replacing Hugh and Brynn.

During service, she was assigned to the mascot station out in the dining room as "Hell's Kitchen's Donkey". She spent the service herding kids back to their tables with Jean-Phillipe, getting tackled by them, and defending the pass from them as they tried to rush the blue team's pass for food. The blue team lost the service. Mick was not nominated for elimination.

### Episode 6

Mick checked in early after the previous dinner service spent herding kids. She wanted to try to get some sleep, to no avail. She and the remaining chefs were all loudly woken up early by firefighters, telling them all to get outside, as there was a fire in Hell's Kitchen. Chef Ramsay explained to the chefs that this was only a fire drill, but that he wanted to light a fire under the chefs to get their A-game. He announced a surprise breakfast service for the firefighters that arrived at Hell's Kitchen. Mick was assigned to the sausage station with Abby. Mick and Abby sent out three entrees of sausage perfectly. Unfortunately, the blue team would lose the challenge service. Mick was able to comment that she banged out on sausage, for obvious reasons. She was forced to eat balut as punishment, and attempted to keep composure due to the poor taste.

Mick and Kiibo were assigned to the garnish station that night. On the first ticket, Mick oddly made garnish on the first appetizers ticket, and was called out by Chef Ramsay. Due to Hamish's failures on the fish station and Abby's lack of communication, Mick came over to assist the fish station, which was struggling on appetizers. She would move back to garnish until Pory and Hamish were sent up to the dorms. Brent directed Mick onto (hold on, you'll NEVER see it coming) the fish station. One by one, the remaining chefs on the blue team would be kicked out. Mick noted that it was down to just herself, Brent, and Jesse. After Jesse was sent up the dorms, she split the garnish station with Brent. Mick, too, would be kicked out for an undercooked halibut, with her profusely apologzing to Brent and Chef Ramsay. She came back to the dorms furious at the team's streak of service failures. The blue team lost the service. However, Brent was nominated as the Best of the Worst for completing service singlehandedly. The rest of the blue team debated on who they wanted to see up, deciding on Abby due to her aloof attitude, and Hamish for his failed leadership. Mick was not nominated for elimination. After elimination, she commented that she's done with the constant failure in the kitchen and wants to see the whole team lead together.

### Episode 7

Mick cooked New York Strip during the team challenge. She took over Jesse's Beef Wellingtons before she was kicked out of the kitchen by Brent. She returned to successfully finish off the New York Strip, thanks to Kiibo. Her strip scored a point in the challenge. The blue team won the challenge and celebrated at a monster truck show.

Mick was the third chef selected by Pory to cook for her life. She was the final person to present their dish, visibly shaken, as she said she didn't have anything to fall back on if she lost Hell's Kitchen. Her dish was criticized for having a sloppy presentation and overdressed slaw. She was saved over Teruteru and was the final chef saved in the challenge.

### Episode 8

Mick was introduced to the Hell's Kitchen Craps challenge alongside the other remaining chefs. She was the third chef to roll and rolled a C. She chose chives, receiving positive approval from his team. She was puzzled when Pory prayed to the gods of the Atari Lynx prior to his roll. Mick worked on the macaroni for the dish, suggesting that the dish should be light on the sauce. She heeded Kiibo's suggestion to put the pasta at the bottom of the dish. The blue team lost the challenge and were forced to prep both kitchens, as well as learn the red team's winning dish.

During the punishment, she noticed that Kiibo had gone silent after the challenge, and was worried about if he was okay or not. She was shocked when Kiibo accidentally cut himself, then proceeded to sear his finger where the cut was. Mick pointed out that's got to hurt like hell, comparing Kiibo's resilience to the pain to that of a robot.

Mick worked the garnish station during service. She helped taste a carbonara from Pory, approving it. She helped Brent during the appetizer phase, taking on an order of mussels. During garnish, she only made one small mis-step, calling garnish late, and then immediately correcting herself. She pointed out Brent's odd attitude when basting the fish, suggesting that if he has a partner, he's missing them right now. When the blue team were moved into the red kitchen to assist with their service, Mick pointed out that this was the first time the blue team won service in a long time, stating she forgot what it felt like to win since it had been so long. The blue team won service. During elimination, she said goodbye to Riyonn who left Hell's Kitchen and was the red team's sole nominee. She also said that she would miss Abby as she transferred back to the red team, stating that she couldn't believe he'd actually miss her.

### Episode 9

Chef Ramsay gathered the final ten downstairs. He had them all reminisce about the first time they cooked for their families. Mick began crying, confessing that it was a bittersweet memory. When she was with her family, they loved to cook. However, when she came out, they turned against her. She finishes by saying that she wants to make the people she has now and her younger self proud. Chef Ramsay then braodcast pictures of the chefs when they were young. Chef Ramsay laughed at Mick's picture, commenting that he can't tell if her hair was redder back then or now. Chef Ramsay then introduced the next challenge of coming up with a new and improved signature dish. For her dish, Mick made a medium ribeye with bleu cheese crumble, light bourbon, and asparagus. She scored 4 points out of 5. The blue team would win the challenge. They enjoyed a fun day at Las Vegas's Wet'n'Wild. During the reward, Kiibo egged on the blue team into going on the tallest slide, much to the chagrin of Brent. Mick slid down after Kiibo and Jesse, and then helped Pory out of the water after he belly flopped into the pool below the slide.

During service, Mick was assigned to the garnish station. During appetizers, she floated around the kitchen to help Jesse with desserts and Pory on fish. She wasn't seen much initially, but got her VIP scallops accepted by Chef Ramsay. While service was going well, Mick burned her pinky finger severely. During her confessional, Mick was annoyed with her injury, and ran her hand underneath cold water for 20 minutes until she returned to service. She apologized to the rest of the blue team when re-entering the kitchen. She got through the rest of the service without any issues. The blue team won the service, with Mick commenting that she was a resilient chef who can fight through pain.

When the red team gossipped about Brynn's possible crush on a member of the blue team, Mick chimed in, stating that it had to be either Kiibo, Brent, or Pory, as she and Jesse were taken and she wasn't going to cheat on her boyfriend like a previous contestant who cheated on their significant other. She, Pory, and Brynn would talk about the teams' performances, with Mick showing a lack of trust in Jesse. She also opened up to Brynn and Pory about her own personal and financial struggles. She and her boyfriend had been battling homelessness and weren't able to keep a stable income. She stated that Chihiro was the reason she entered this competition and was the one thing that she fought for. She stated that she fought with every ounce of his body because she knew there was no safety net for her to fall back on.

### Episode 10

Chef Ramsay gathered the remaining nine chefs to test their palates, with the annual Blind Taste Test. He explained that each chef will have a turn sitting on chairs while another chef tastes ingredients and attempts to guess what they are. If a chef gets two answers out of four correct, their teammate sitting in the chair stays clean. If a chef gets three wrong, their teammate is going to be blasted with a random ingredient. If a chef gets four wrong, their teammate gets splattered again. Mick went up against Talia, while Brent sat in the chair. Mick incorrectly guessed eggplant for the first ingredient, while Talia guessed cauliflower. The real ingredient was broccoli. Mick correctly guessed clams for the second ingredient. Both Talia and Mick correctly guessed sweet potato for the third ingredient, keeping Brent safe from getting hit by a random ingredient. However, both chefs missed the fourth ingredient, which was eggplant. Pory represented the blue team in the final round, with Mick in the chair. Pory was able to successfully clinch a victory for the blue team with a correct guess of squash for the ingredient he received. The blue team were rewarded with a relaxing day at the spa at the Intercontinental Hotel. Before they left to get changed, a cannon went off splattering the red team with milk much to the hilarity of the blue team. Mick stated that the blue team were on a roll that would keep until all five of them received black jackets. Mick stated that she needed a massage, and enjoyed the reward. During the reward, she chatted with Brynn who served the blue team drinks. Mick noted that Brynn was the only main star on the red team. She also got shocked as Jesse was getting really into the reward with the spa lady. Mick asked if Jesse was missing his girlfriend a little bit too much. The blue team also discussed the failing red team. Mick stated that one part of him wanted to see if she could bring success to the red team, but the other part wanted to stay with the guys she connected with so far.

Mick was assigned to the desserts station and became a floater throughout the blue kitchen. When Jesse messed up an order of scallops, Mick offered to help him but was shot down. After he went from overcooked scallops to undercooked scallops, Mick confessed that she wants Jesse to be accountable for his mistakes, but she felt she would have to take over the fish station due to the failures Jesse has made so far. Mick cooked the scallops successfully, and Jesse bounced back on the rest of the fish orders. After Jesse brought up raw salmon, Mick moved to the station she always goes to; the fish station. She flashed a salmon and helped Jesse recover again. After mistakes by Brent and Pory on the meat station and many failures in the red kitchen, both teams lost dinner service and had to come up with two names for elimination.

The blue team came to a general consensus of Jesse as their first nominee, something Jesse vehemently fought against, as he didn't want everyone to hop onto his station. Mick stated that she was torn between Brent and Pory as her personal second nominee. While Brent was a close friend of Mick's, she felt Brent should know better than to send up raw chicken. Pory was the one that sunk the meat station, so there was no real correct choice in Mick's eyes. Mick and Brent voted for Jesse and Pory as their two to go up for elimination, while Kiibo and Pory voted for Jesse and Brent, leaving Jesse with the deciding vote. Mick was not nominated for elimination, but was shocked when Kiibo announced Brent as the second nominee. When Brent was sent back in line to be replaced by Pory for elimination, Mick nodded her head in agreement. Back in the dorms, the blue team struggled deciding who to send over to the red team, considering every member as a possible replacement. Later, Mick would watch as Brynn would become flustered after Pory hugged her. She became embarrassed much to the amusement of Mick. The blue team reached a decision on who would be sent over to the red team as the episode ended in a cliffhanger.

### Episode 11

The final eight were entertained with a remix of The Ohio Players' song "Fire" featuring Kirk Hammett of Metallica on lead guitar, much to the delight of Mick. Chef Ramsay explained that he invited Hammett to get the chefs fired up for their next challenge. Prior to the challenge reveal, the blue team sent Jesse over to the red team. He then ordered the chefs to choose a guitar case to decide the theme of what dish each pair of chefs from the teams would use in their dishes. Jesse chose to go up against Mick, who then selected blues for the musical genre they'd be working with. She and Jesse would be working with salmon. Mick presented cooked salmon with quinoa, olives, herbs, and a pomegranate glaze. Mick received praise for having perfectly cooked salmon and the glaze complementing the dish well. Mick earned a point for the blue team, however they lost the challenge. The blue team were punished with the ever-intimidating delivery day, which took a toll on all four chefs.

After the blue team's punishment, they learned from Chef Ramsay that they would be running a charity night service. The blue team would serve the Animal Welfare Institute alongside Chris and Martin Kratt. Mick and Talia led the opening scallops course, agreeing on a 6 minute timer for their appetizers. During her course, Mick was initially nervous, but soon became commanding thanks to the pushing of Chef Ramsay. She called Brent out for moaning while he was cooking the scallops, adding that she was slightly disturbed whenever Brent was on fish. She sent out the appetizers with no issues. Mick was assigned to plate for Brent's fettucine course, keeping up with the rest of the blue kitchen. Mick and Pory were both on the turbot during Kiibo's course, sending out perfectly done turbots with Kiibo's approval. Finally, Mick was on garnish for Pory's filet course. She sent up perfectly done garnish, and congratulated the rest of her team for a well done charity service. The blue team won the service. However, they noted that Brynn was upset after the post-mortem. She confessed that he didn't want to see Brynn get eliminated, as her elimination could possibly drag Pory down with her. After an emotional moment between Pory and Brynn before the elimination ceremony, Mick shed a couple tears.

During elimination, Mick became visibly annoyed with the fighting between the red team during elimination. However, she was impressed with Brynn's long but passionate plea to stay in the competition. She was shocked as Brynn was eliminated for her poor performance in the charity service, and began tearing up as Pory hugged her one last time. Back at the dorms, Mick commented on how that was the most brutal elimination so far, and attempted to comfort Pory alongside Kiibo. She also encouraged Jesse for the hopes of both of them squaring off in Black Jackets. Mick tried to encourage Pory by telling him to cook for Brynn now, the same way Mick cooks everything for Chihiro, as he's the reason Mick's still going.

### Episode 12

After the charity service, Mick and Kiibo bonded together in the blue bedroom. They discussed that if they didn't get a Black Jacket, they wanted the other to win it all. Mick even considered telling Kiibo secrets that she had kept bottled up. Brent came in and discussed possibly getting Mick a job under his brother, Chris, as a line cook. They also discussed Brent's habit of moaning whenever he was on the fish station, with Mick telling him to be more careful so he doesn't splash oil on himself.

For the challenge, Chef Ramsay introduced the remaining chefs to Danny, the winner of the previous season. He gave the chefs a varying number of ingredients to work with to create a stunning dish for him. Mick realized that she was so close to a black jacket, and felt ecstatic realizing that she needs to win from here on out. She offered Kiibo advice on incorporating guacamole into his dish. Mick served New York Strip with goat cheese, garnished with basil and with a side of cooked beets. Danny complemented the dish, saying that he could consider having it at his own restaurant. She ended up taking the throne from Kiibo in the King-of-the-Hill style challenge. Jesse would end up taking the throne from Mick with a chili-powder filet. Mick congratulated Jesse for a well-done challenge dish. Mick was sad, but realized she just had to prove herself during service now. She congratulated Pory for winning the challenge and gaining immunity from elimination. Mick and the other 5 chefs prepared a special dish for Danny and Pory. The six chefs were also forced to eat the dishes of eliminated contestants. Mick commented that Brent was taking these dishes poorly, and possibly overreacting.

Prior to service, Mick noticed that Kiibo was lacking energy. She figured it was due to the previous challenge, but also learned he was feeling a little sick. Mick was assigned to the garnish station, and offered to float around to anyone who needed help. She attempted to help Pory on fish station, cooking scallops and fixing his mussels. She would continue to help with the fish station, working on lobsters and mussels. Mick was chastised for cooking mussels when there were none on order and attempted to pass the blame to Pory. After Pory was chewed out by Chef Ramsay in the pantry for screwing up another fish order, Mick became angry, yelling that the blue team cannot give up now. Mick confessed she had to take charge or the blue team would be fucked beyond belief. They got the second order of apps out, but chastised Brent for calling out scallops when they weren't on order. For entrees, Mick instructed Pory to come back to fish while Mick moved to garnish. Mick pushed out perfectly done garnishes for the first orders of entrees, but Chef Ramsay called out Pory for a raw salmon, ejecting him. Mick, Kiibo, and Brent pushed out the final orders of entrees. Mick stated that she was in shock that this service went poorly, but stated that she was done focusing on everyone else and needed to make sure that she shined. Both teams were declared winners due to Pory's ejection.

Back in the dorms, Mick stated that it hurt to lose Pory, but stated that it is what it is, much to the ire of Brent and the shock of Jesse. She called Brent out and reminded him that the chefs were reaching the point where they had to shine alone. She stated that he was still friends with Kiibo and Brent, but that all three needed to get their shit together, or else face elimination. Mick confessed she understood everyone was upset about Pory's ejection, but reasserted that she came to Hell's Kitchen to make her and Chihiro's lives better.

### Episode 13

Mick apologized to Brent and Kiibo for his outburst in the previous episode following service. He explained that the competition reached a point to where everything felt tense. He offered to chat with Kiibo, who was feeling ill after the punishment and service.

When he lined up with the remaining chefs, Mick stated that he was ready for whatever Chef Ramsay had in store for him. He confessed that if Chef Ramsay wanted him to run through the one-way glass wall that had appeared in the middle of the room, he would do so. He gasped when Chef Ramsay broke the glass to reveal five black jackets. He looked over at the other five chefs alongside him while Chef Ramsay explained there would only be five black jackets this season of Hell's Kitchen. For the first challenge, he and the other chefs were instructed to recreate the dishes that helped previous winners earn their black jackets and win immunity in their Black Jacket challenges. Mick was assigned Season 17 winner Michelle's veal chop. When he presented his dish, he received praise from Chef Ramsay, who noted that he was the only one he'd judged who managed to improve upon the dish they were assigned. After everyone was judged, Chef Ramsay announced Mick to be the recipient of the first black jacket. He thanked Chef Ramsay, wished Kiibo and Brent luck, and went up to the Black Jacket Lounge. There, Mick enjoyed champagne and a massage chair. He would soon be joined by Talia, who won in the first round alongside him. He hugged her, and then teared up, reflecting upon how much having his black jacket meant to him and how it showed he can and will succeed due to his potential.

During the second round, he predicted Christina and Brent to join him and Talia next. He gave Jesse a hug as he joined the two in the Black Jacket Lounge and hyped him up after learning about his dish. He enthusiastically welcomed Brent to the club shortly after, stating that the boys were back. However, he worriedly asked what Kiibo had made, since he hadn't made it to the black jacket phase yet. He was disappointed by the ingredients Kiibo had to work with. Nevertheless, he confessed how he was happy to go up against Brent due to him being a high caliber chef. He was delighted when Kiibo was the final entrant to the Black Jacket Lounge, tackling him in a hug, with Brent following suit. Mick stated that this was the best possible outcome, calling himself and the other four chefs who made it elite. He then responded to Chef Ramsay's televised congratulatory recording, confusing Brent. He then comforted Kiibo, who was feeling worried he'd be his own downfall. Mick reminded Kiibo that each chef controlled their own destiny, and he knew Kiibo had it in him to win.

### Episode 14

Mick paced around the dorms after returning from the Black Jacket Lounge, thinking about the future for him and his boyfriend Chihiro, wanting to have that stable future with him. When prompted by Chef Ramsay, Mick stated that he knew how to make an apple pie. Ramsay explained that for the first time in a long time, Hell's Kitchen would become a cooking school, with each Black Jacket chef being a teacher for one student, instructing them on how to make the perfect apple pie. Initially, he gave off a negative reaction upon learning that his student was a grade schooler, questioning why he had to be a babysitter throughout this season. Mick calmly instructed his student on how to make the perfect pie, asking if the student had had pie before. Mick and his student got along well, completing the pie in time. During judging, Mick was shocked to learn the pie would be judged by Master Chef winner Christine Ha. He whispered to the kid that after Chef Ramsay tried it, he could have the rest of the pie if he wanted. Mick's pie received high praise from Chef Ramsay and Ha, with Ramsay saying the pie looked visually stunning, and Ha stating she can visualize how good it looked. Mick and Jesse had their pies brought back up to be judged again. Mick ended up winning the challenge. He was given a reward of laser tag, and brought along Jesse after a thoughtful deliberation. Mick showed his athleticism by dodging many of Jesse's lasers during the tag. The two of them bonded over their hardships after they were worn out. After his reward, he headed back up to the dorm and looked at a picture of Chihiro, wanting to tell him how much he missed him. He then went back downstairs to help the chefs with their punishment alongside Jesse. Mick met with Chef Ramsay in a private meeting in his office and was the last chef left to do so. Chef Ramsay explained that he was impressed with Mick's recent emergence after winning the first black jacket and the day's challenge. However, he wanted to see more out of Mick now that they had made it to black jackets.

For service, the five chefs were assigned stations that they hadn't excelled in during the competition. Mick was assigned to the meat station. During service, Mick noticed the arguing between Brent and Talia's appetizer section during the first order. Mick offered his help to Jesse and the appetizers section. Mick became annoyed with Jesse when he had to refire scallops during the first order. When Talia and Brent began arguing again after the second order came in, Mick confessed that he was disappointed since the dynamic he expected from the five chefs just wasn't there since everyone was confused and arguing. He yelled at Brent and Talia to fuckin pull it together after the second order of appetizers was messed up. During the third order, Mick reminded Jesse to make sure the scallops were out in 1. During entrees, Mick called out the times for his New York Strip, making sure everyone could hear him and were synced up. When the salmon came back, Mick screamed at Brent and Jesse to pull it back for service. In a confession, he yelled that failure was not an option tonight. When Jesse had a pan that nearly burst into flames, he yelled at Jesse to fuckin pull it together, becoming increasingly frustrated with the mistakes made tonight. When the salmon was being cooked longer due to a delay on the fish station, Mick yelled at Brent and Jesse to fuckin bring it up, asking Jesse if the lasers got to his head. Jesse ended up moving to help Mick with his final order, with Mick reminding him to make sure everything was hot. He reminded Jesse to make sure the chicken wasn't raw or so help him. After the final order of entrees was accepted, Mick confessed that he didn't know he had that level of aggressiveness in him, feeling a little bit bad for yelling, but relieved that every order got out.

Back in the dorms, Mick stated that Jesse would be his first vote due to the failures on the fish station. He also demanded that both Talia and Brent explain what the confusion was on the appetizer station. Mick confessed that while Brent argued, he did help bail out Jesse. Talia also argued, but took a back seat during the entree portion. It hurt to Mick that he'd have to put up one of these two chefs. He echoed Kiibo's sentiment that he could see both Brent and Talia going up for elimination alongside Jesse. Mick was not nominated for elimination, but was frustrated as the arguing continued while Brent, Talia, and Jesse were all pleading to stay in Hell's Kitchen. Mick smiled when Jesse was told to keep his jacket, saying that he was his bro and loved him.

After the elimination ceremony, Mick was shocked when Chef Ramsay said he wasn't finished with the final four. When Brent got told he was going to be seeing his little brother Chris Atieh, Mick gasped and started sobbing when he realized the chefs would be seeing their loved ones again. When Mick saw his boyfriend Chihiro, the two slowly embraced and began kissing in one of the booths. In a confession, Mick confessed that Chihiro was his motivation, calling him his life and his honeymuffin, and the reason Mick lives. Kiibo noticed Mick's canoodling with Chihiro, but Mick wasn't able to tell. Mick introduced himself to Chris and received his business card for an opportunity as a line cook. He thanked Chris for this opportunity and returned to kissing Chihiro. Mick confessed that he realized the competition was only himself and three other chefs, stating the fact that he's made it this far is incredible and he could see himself in Tokyo right now.

### Episode 15

Mick and Kiibo discussed their personal lives after the Final Four returned to the dorms. Brent told Mick to try on his brother's jacket, which was too small for the latter to fit into. Brent also suggested to Mick that he doesn't scream at the others during their upcoming services, as it ended up killing the chances of Hal from RP Season 2 winning. Mick said he understood, but said that he was frustrated when things didn't come together. When Talia joked about Chris's height going somewhere else, Mick scolded Kiibo for playing a waterphone after she delivered the punchline. Mick confessed that he was honestly very nervous. He wanted to show Chef Ramsay that Mick's the leader Chef Ramsay wants, and that it's Mick's time to run the kitchen.

Mick, Brent, Kiibo, and Talia were all greeted by Chef Ramsay, who offered them a nice meal. Mick was suspicious of the dish, stating that he was analyzing every component of what he tasted. He grinned when Chef Ramsay announced that the dish in front of them was the Taste It Now Make It challenge. Mick went back to taste the dish a couple of times during the challenge, just to confirm what he thought the ingredients were. He chose skate fish as the protein, with a basil puree, and a courgette salad. When he presented his dish to Chef Ramsay, he only received a "Thank you" from Chef Ramsay, with Mick commenting on how he has a strong poker face. Chef Ramsay revealed the protein to indeed be skate, eliminating Brent, who selected halibut as the protein. Mick confessed he was surprised, since he thought Brent was the fish king. Chef Ramsay then revealed that the puree was basil, which eliminated Kiibo from the challenge as well. All four chefs selected courgette as the salad, leading to a tie and a joint-win between Mick and Talia. The two were rewarded with lunch on the beach and some martinis.

Mick was assigned to the fish station one last time for the Final Four service. Talia started the pass, calling JP out for sending a fake ticket. Mick chuckled, as Talia had the same level of sass as Chef Ramsay. Mick informed that he would fire the mussels for carbonara in 2 minutes, only to be corrected by Talia, reminding Mick they go in the capellini. Mick still fired mussels for some inane reason, being called out by Chef Ramsay. He was shocked that he'd do that, reminding himself that he's better than that. Mick didn't run into any issues during Brent's time at the pass. When Mick moved up to the pass, he was initially quiet, but turned into a leader on the pass. Mick got angry when the communication slowed down, trying to constantly keep the Black Jackets and Sous Chef Skullcrusher vocal, much to Skullcrusher's chagrin. He caught Skullcrusher's attempted sabotage of substituting cod for halibut. He commented that he had a shit start, but a superb finish. Mick finished strong on the fish station during Kiibo's time at the pass.

After the post-mortem with the final four, Mick went up to the dorms and comforted Talia, stating that she was perfect and scared the hell out of him as a competitor. They talked about how exhausting the experience was, but that the end was almost here. He clapped at Brent's bartending performance back in the dorms, but shocked that he threw a hurricane shot at Talia. Before the chefs were called down, he wished the final four luck.

At the elimination ceremony, he looked at Brent and Kiibo after Chef Ramsay announced that only two chefs could make it to the finale. Mick stated that he would like to face Talia in the finals due to her consistency and leadership at the pass. He believed that he deserved to move on to the finals due to his growth and leadership. He stated that other chefs have safety nets they can fall back on, while he doesn't have one. He would give Chef Ramsay the best day in and day out, and that if given the chance, he will be able to run Chef Ramsay's restaurant. Kiibo stated that he wanted to face Mick in the finals due to Mick's growth that culminiated in his pass performance. Talia stated that she wanted to face Mick in the finals as he was her biggest competition. Chef Ramsay announced that the first member of the final four to be eliminated was Brent. Mick gave Brent a hug, stating that he loves him as a competitor, and tried not to cry. As two banners dropped down from the ceiling, Mick looked on in awe. He congratulated Talia as she was named the first chef to move on to the finals, and gave her a hug. Before Ramsay announced the second finalist, Mick looked up to Kiibo and began to tear up. Chef Ramsay announced Mick as the second finalist of the season, causing Mick to start sobbing. He gave Kiibo a hug, saying "I love you bro" and reminding him to keep his head up high. Kiibo reminded Mick that his offer still stands, and Mick called out that he'll win the competition for Kiibo. Chef Ramsay told Mick and Talia to get some sleep, as they had one of the most important services of their lives ahead of them. Mick got back to the dorms, screaming with joy because he knew he could do it, and offered Talia another hug. Mick stated that due to all of his sacrifices, blood, sweat, and tears, he was in the finals and showed that he can be the chef he thought he was and the leader he wanted to be.

### Episode 16

Early the next morning, Mick and Talia were awoken and ordered to line up outside of Hell's Kitchen. Mick stated that it was intimidating to know that it's just herself and one other person left in the competition, but affirmed that she had to be ready for anything. Chef Ramsay stated that the final two would receive a reward, as both of them would be going to Conrad, Tokyo via a private jet. She drank a glass of champagne while on the plane, while commenting on just how short the plane flight to Tokyo was. When the two finalists got off the plane, they were both surprised by the huge crowd that awaited them, with their sous chefs also in attendance. Chef Ramsay ordered them to cook what they had created for their menus in order to compete in the Final Taste Challenge. Mick got Sous Chef Skullcrusher to help her out in order to make sure every menu item was perfect. She commented that there was no room for error, as she had to prove why she was the last blue team member standing, and needed to show nothing but perfection.

She was confused when Chef Ramsay explained that he would not be judging any of her or Talia's dishes. Instead, the first judge was revealed to be Danny, previous winner of Season 22, much to Mick's shock. Mick's hot appetizer was oysters rockefeller with a crisp wheat bread. She earned a 9 out of 10. Sous Chef Skullcrusher judged the cold appetizers, rating Mick's smoked salmon flatbread an 8 out of 10. She noted that Talia was 2 points ahead of her, and needed to wow with her next 3 dishes to win the challenge. The third chef to judge the finalists was Season 21's runner-up and All-Star contestant Angie. Angie joked about Brent's odd habits with fish, much to the amusement of Mick. She presented a crisp sea bass with a tomato and basil salsa. She enjoyed the dish, but wished it was more refined, giving Mick an 8 out of 10. For the meat dish, Mick presented a filet with Swiss chard and a side of fries with sea salt. Toast liked the dish, but was let down by the Swiss chard, giving Mick an 8 out of 10. Finally, Shane, Season 21's winner, judged the finalists' desserts. Shane tasted Mick's creme brulee first, ranking her dish a 10 out of 10. Mick ended up losing the Final Taste Challenge to Talia. Mick and Talia were reintroduced by Chef Ramsay to their members of the final brigade, welcoming back Kiibo, Brent, Jesse, Christina, Pory, Brynn, Lydia, and Riyonn.

Mick's first pick and second pick overall was Kiibo due to the fact he's only made a couple of mistakes during his entire run throughout Hell's Kitchen, and one of Mick's best friends. Mick's second pick and fourth overall was Brent due to his leadership and strong showings in the kitchen. Mick's third pick and sixth overall was Christina since she felt like she could pull a lot out from Christina. Talia selected Pory laast, leaving Mick with Lydia.

When Mick and her team got back to the red bedroom, she drafted up plans, but noticed that Brent wasn't his usual gung ho self, and tried to talk to him. He ended up coming back around. While warming up for the upcoming service, Mick commanded the kitchen, calling out mistakes from Brent on fish station. When asking for feedback, he was told he needed to calm down for service. Mick reminded himself that if he loses, it's his fault, not his team's. Losing would mean he failed as a leader, and he didn't plan on failing.

The main service started off with Christina on appetizers, Lydia on garnish, Kiibo on meat, and Brent on fish. The first ticket got out without any issues. The second ticket, however, slowed down due to Christina not putting enough butter into her risotto. She corrected this mistake to Mick's approval. Later on during appetizers, Brent undercooked some scallops, which Mick called him out on. He noted that Brent's mistake put Mick to the test when it came to quality control. He approved Kiibo's strong voice on the meat section, stating that he's a leader. Lydia ended up making mistakes on garnish twice, leading to Mick moving her to desserts and putting Christina on garnish. After Brent undercooked a halibut, Mick was angry, but kept composure, ordering Brent to cook it back up to temperature. The last two tickets went out without issue. Mick told his team that he was proud of them, thanking them on behalf of himself and Chihiro.

During the post-mortem, Mick realized that this service would decide his life, trajectory, and everything. He stated that failure was not an option. After a group hug, he and Talia returned to the dorms, saying goodbye to their brigades. Back in the dorms, Talia and Mick discussed their services, talking about the mistakes made on service and how nervous Mick was. After a while, the phone in the dorm rang. Mick answered it, revealing that it was Gordon Ramsay who called them, asking both Mick and Talia to report to his office.

Chef Ramsay greeted both chefs in his office. He stated that he had written off Mick for a while, but that Mick proved himself as a passionate, hard-working chef, and one hell of a leader. He then ordered both chefs to step up to their respective doors. Mick confessed that this was it, the door to Mick's future, hoping that all of his hard work paid off. At the count of three, both chefs turned their handles. Talia's door opened, making her the winner of Hell's Kitchen. Mick's door remained locked, much to his disappointment. After Talia began celebrating, Mick walked out to see the crowd and his brigade. After being named the runner-up, Mick confessed that the feeling of defeat sucked. He believed that anything but a win would have killed him. However, he realized that he would be okay, stating that Talia deserved the win. He was just happy that he found hope, something that he had lost for a while. He believed he could still find greatness. Chihiro comforted Mick, saying that it was all okay. Talia praised Mick for being a worthy opponent during her winning speech. Chris Atieh, Brent's brother, offered Mick a job, which he accepted. Kiibo also delivered Mick a set of keys to his house, offering him and Chihiro a place to stay, causing Mick to tear up. He stated that he loved Kiibo and gave him and Chris hugs each.

"Talia won, because she has shown herself to be able to learn from her mistakes, and grow from them. She is someone who can grow and bloom into a great chef, and I have no doubt I made the right choice."
