Episode 2: Locked and Loaded

## Individual Challenge

The chefs rush into the kitchen for the punishment pass challenge, Freya had a game plan as she was going to take the Canadian dish poutine and make it fine dining whilst Andreas had similar ideas for his loaded fries, Kylie was a bundle of nerves during the challenge and didn't get anything done for twenty minutes until she settled on loading her fries with bacon, unfortunately for her it was too little too late as by the time the timer ran out she literally had nothing on the plate as her fries were in the fryer and the bacon was still in the pan.

## Punishment Pass

Before Christina announced the three best she made sure to show Kylie's empty plate to Ramsey and the other chefs and Ramsey demanded to know what had happened to her food, Kylie meekly explained her screw-up and was clearly embarrassed to the point of tears for it and whilst Freya felt bad for her, she had serious doubts about whether Kylie was going to last long in the competition if she crumbled that easily.

The three dishes being tasted from the Red Team were Freya's, Erika's and Rebecca's with Freya's being deemed the best of the three awarding her the Punishment Pass, Chef Jason then selected Andreas's, Henry's and Josh's fries from the Blue Team to be put up with Andreas winning the pass for the Blue Team, Andreas called winning the Punishment pass an honor and that he was going to use it when the Red Team least suspected whilst Freya was so confident that she said that she wasn't going to use it at all, instead taking it home as a memento when all was said and done.

## Before Service

In The Red Kitchen Freya tried her best to pick Kylie's spirits back up following her bad run at the Punishment Pass but her efforts didn't seem to have much effect on her, Freya gave it one last shot before the chefs were assigned to their stations and Ramsey opened Hell's Kitchen for the opening night.

## Dinner Service

 **Appetizers** | Freya and Yuri
 **Meat** | Jenna and Kylie
 **Fish** | Rebecca and Erika
 **Garnish** | Jayne and Dani

Freya's challenge winning poutine dish was being served tableside by Rachel for the Red Team and Henry for the Blue Team, in the Red Team Freya and Yuri got the women off to a strong start on apps but Freya got in trouble with Christina and Ramsey for impersonating Ramsey after she overheard his reprimanding CJ for serving raw scallops , however that would prove to be Freya's one screw up of the night.

It was a different story in the Blue Team as on top of CJ performing badly on fish Ritchie managed to slow down the team big time with his mistakes on apps eventually getting booted to the dorms for his poor Carbonara and leaving Leo to run the station solo, the ladies man did a decent job of getting the men out of the weeds and after CJ got kicked out for serving scallops that were only seared on one side the men were able to complete service.

The same couldn't be said for the Red Team though as Kylie and Jenna proved to be a disaster on the meat station with Kylie's shyness causing her to clam up and frustrating Jenna, Freya tried to jump in and help them get food out but when Kylie sent up raw chicken it was curtains for the Red Team getting them all kicked out.

## Post-mortem

The Red Team were declared the losers of the service and Ramsey took special time to call out several women, Freya for her impersonation in the middle of service and Kylie and Jenna for their screw ups on meat, however Ramsey still named Freya the Best of the Worst despite the incident as she had tried to salvage the meat station before they got kicked out, telling Freya to come up with two nominees.

Once they were in the dorms Freya named Kylie and Jenna as her nominations for their mistakes on meat. whilst Kylie accepted it, Jenna called out Freya for her impersonation at which point Freya explained that the restaurant she worked at had a far more relaxed atmosphere in the kitchen than on Hell's Kitchen hence why she thought she could get away with the impersonation, making it clear to the other women that it wasn't a mistake she was going to repeat.

## Elimination

Freya named Kylie and Jenna as her nominations and Ramsey called them forward, whilst Jenna did a decent job defending herself Kylie made the choice to eliminate her easy for Ramsey as she hesitated before saying that she was nervous and then said no when asked if she was a better chef than Jenna, sealing her fate as the first boot.

Kylie's Elimination Statement: *“I can’t believe I’m the first chef out, Jenna was more at fault than me tonight and she should be standing here and not me! Still, I had a great time and if I could do it all over again? I would, only much better.”*

Ramsey's Elimination Statement: *“Kylie was a quiet little mouse throughout her stay in Hell’s Kitchen, but when she didn’t answer one simple question correctly it was time to set the mousetrap.”*
