## Team Challenge

Lexi told everyone it was her 28th birthday, and everyone celebrated, except Peyton, who said she didn't care about her birthday and walked away. As the chefs went downstairs, they saw four trays. Chef Vaughan introduced the Protein Identification Challenge, where, in pairs, they had to identify four proteins. The red team, had one extra member so Meghan decided to sit out, the red team went back into the dorms to wait for the blue team to finish. The first pair up was Niko and Zara they had to guess the protein in the burger, their first guess was kangaroo, then they guessed pork on their second attempt and they had a time of 30 seconds. Next up was Jayden and Tanya, they guessed haddock straight away. Last pair from the red team was Peyton and Lexi, Niko said he was really nervous about Peyton as she has been cocky and rude. In the lasagne, they guessed crab, followed by chicken, and then veal on their third attempt, giving them a total time of 5:25.

The blue team came in, and it was their turn to guess the protein. Satyajeet said, that he hoped his team could do well and win this challenge. First pair from the blue team, was Satyajeet and Francis, Francis guessed pork in the burger straight away and he got it right. Helga said Francis is a strong competitor and stated she was happy to be on the same team as him. David and Edwin were next they guessed sea bass followed by salmon, cod, trout then finally they got by guessing haddock on their fifth attempt. Last up pair up was Helga and Timmy. Timmy said he hoped he could identify the protein quickly, or else his team loses. They guessed the lasagne's meat to be ostrich, boar, buffalo, venison, boar again, venison again before the time ran out making the red team win the challenge.

## Reward

The red team got to go on a shopping spree. Meghan said it was the best day to get out of Hell's Kitchen, Niko said he was happy that he got switched to the red team and wanted to make it far. Peyton said she did well in the challenge and said to her team, that the blue team only won 2 of the services and said she could see them dropping like flies, and they all laughed. Zara said it was awesome picking some fancy clothes for her parents and siblings.

## Punishment

The blue team had to clean and sort out the garbage bin in suits, Timmy expressed that losing was the worst and just wants to win a reward for once. Helga said she found old food from past services and bottles while sorting out the garbage, Francis said he doesn't want to do another punishment and stated it sucks. Satyajeet said the punishment almost made him puke, Edwin said it's not that bad and also said he can get used to punishments.

## Before Service

The red team came back from the reward, Lexi said the reward was a great way to celebrate her birthday and was ready for dinner service. Satyajeet told his team they need to communicate and work together to win service.

## Dinner Service

At the start of service, the first ticket arrives. Peyton fires the risotto, then she sends it up but it gets sent back for being mush, Vaughan calls her a donkey and asks her to refire the risotto. She refires it but it again gets sent back for being still mush, then Chef Vaughan asks Lexi to take over on appetisers. Meanwhile with the blue team David sends up garnish and it gets accepted which he gets praised. David says he is doing well and is gonna keep on doing well. Back with the red team, Niko asks Lexi how long on appetisers to which she does not respond, which gets Vaughan concerned. Lexi sends out the risotto, but it comes back for being undercooked and Chef Vaughan gets furious and asks the whole team what was going on with appetisers. Lexi said in her confessional that she is stupid and should've spoken up when asked how long. Vaughan told them to focus and have the stations under control. Back with the blue team, Helga sends up the halibut but it's criticized for being raw. Satyajeet said Helga is starting to show signs of weakness and gets concerned. He helps Helga on fish and manages to send out the halibut and Vaughan commends him for helping. Back with the red kitchen, Lexi sends up her refire on appetisers but it gets sent back again for being undercooked again. Vaughan tells Lexi to wake up. Back with the blue team, Francis sends the meat to the pass and it gets accepted which makes him happy. Edwin brings the risotto to the pass and it gets accepted. Meanwhile, Peyton decided to step in and bring the risotto to the pass which gets sent back for being undercooked. Chef Vaughan brings the red team to the pantry showing the undercooked risotto and asked them what on earth were they doing, then told them if they make one more mistake they can fuck off.

The blue team were waiting on Edwin, Chef Vaughan asked Edwin to hurry up and he brought the meat to the pass, and it was accepted with Vaughan praising him. Helga managed to get the halibut out perfectly which Chef Vaughan told the blue team to keep up with the good performance, meanwhile with the red team Peyton refired risotto and unfortunately it was burned which Vaughan told the red team to fuck off back to the dorms. Meanwhile the blue team managed to communicate and serve entrees then finished service.

### Post-Mortem

While the teams lined up, Chef Vaughan congratulated the blue team for the excellent service, while telling the red team they were a complete disaster then telling them to nominate two nominees for elimination.

Zara mentioned Lexi's performance and said she did not respond to Niko when he told her how long and she screwed up on appetisers, Lexi said she knew she screwed up but said Peyton also did as bad as her. Peyton shouted she should not go up and claimed that Niko should go up. Niko said to Peyton that he did nothing wrong that night and said to her to stop making excuses.

## Elimination

Niko announced Peyton as the red team's first nominee for serving undercooked risotto with Lexi as the second for also serving undercooked risotto and not communicating. During their pleas, Peyton said she should've not sent up risotto that was not up to par and fixed the mistakes she done. Lexi said this was her worst service yet and stated that she does not blame people, Chef Vaughan asked who was blaming who Lexi said that Peyton was blaming people and not owning her mistakes she done. Vaughan asked if that was true, she said it was not true and Lexi said Peyton was lying then. Lexi and Peyton then argued in front of Vaughan which he cut both of them saying both of them sucked in tonight's service. Ultimately, Lexi was eliminated for her poor performance on appetisers during her exit interview, she said that this service was her worst and she was angry at Peyton for making excuses and hoped she would be eliminated after her.

After Lexi was gone, Vaughan told the red team to get a grip next service and wake up then he dismissed the chefs. Peyton said the red team are full of shit, and they can go fuck themselves. Niko expressed how unhappy by still having Peyton on his team, and wanted her gone. Edwin said the blue team are making a comeback, and hoped that comeback can stay for very long.

**Vaughan's comment:** *"Lexi should've wished for something on her birthday: a voice. Now she can celebrate her birthday elsewhere."*
