Maria was sent packing in Hell’s Kitchen Season 7 Episode 5.
Nilka has decided she hates everybody, from the bottom of her ass.
The challenge is to create dishes using one of the 5 mother sauces and all 20 ingredients with no repeats. Blue works on a plan together. Nilka is focused on her own dish, for which she hordes all the ingredients she can get her hands on. Autumn is happy to be working on a united team without all that bickering.
Because we haven’t seen enough of his family members so far this season, Ramsay has invited his mother and wife to help judge.
Fran cooked pasta and oysters. Ramsay calls her a smart cookie for taking the risk with that combination. Salvatore has made eggplant and undercooked pasta. Red team gets the first point.
Siobhan has butterfly cornish hen, or at least that’s what she thinks. It’s a pigeon, a bloody one. Not even gonna taste that one. Jay has made duck breast and peas. Bland, undercooked, and crunchy. Nobody gets a point.
Holli makes halibut. Or sea bass as Ramsay calls it. Ed and Autumn cooked sea bass as well. Both dishes are good, but the blue team gets the point.
Nilka cooked steak and mushrooms. First class. Jason made steak and potatoes, also very tasty. Red team takes the lead 2-1.
Benjamin made John Dory. A little dry and a touch too little seasoning. Scott made duck breast on sweet potatoes. Too pink and unseasoned. Blue team ties 2-2.
In order to break the tie, Ramsay highlights Jason’s dish, which shouldn’t have lost the point anyway. This brings the blue team to a win.
Nilka, who had the best dish, has Scott angry. She grabbed all the ingredients everybody else wanted. Not only did that help her shine, but it also screwed over everybody else.
Red team will be cleaning the kitchens. In the process, Siobhan breaks out in hives. Punishment part two is to prep both kitchens.
Blue team will be treated to an English afternoon, which I take to mean tea and crumpets.
Fran says that the red team is so much worse now that Scott’s there. He may not be bringing much to the table in terms of cooking, but at least he’s not having a breakdown like half the chicks on the team.
It’s family night, meaning there will be a children’s menu, and Ramsay will make an effort for the first few seconds not to swear.
Who’s cooking the spaghetti? Red team does not know. Perhaps if Benjamin explains it to Siobhan, she will cook it. Might want to wait until the water is boiling first, though.
The blue kitchen is getting appetizers out to their customers, but it’s not long before Salvatore starts getting yelled at. By lying about the risotto, he’s lost Ramsay’s trust. He had it before?
Nilka gets scolded for cursing in front of the children. Pot, meet kettle.
Fran overcooks her scallops. Maybe Jason can deliver the chicken on the blue team. Maybe not.
Back in the red kitchen, appetizers finally start going out. Now Scott can try to cook the beef. Try being the operative word. He knew they were undercooked but didn’t think they were too undercooked. That’s comforting.
Ramsay gathers the red team for a question. Is that the best roast chicken and the best beef? No, chef. Red team is dismissed. Time to dogpile on Scott. It’s apparently his fault they suck.
With the red team out of the kitchen, the yelling stops, and service is completed.
Red team will need to pick two nominees. Scott says Siobhan and Nilka or Fran. The women will obviously target him.
The first nominee is Scott; the second nominee is Fran. That said, Fran wants Siobhan to be the second nominee. This all leads to continued bickering amongst the team. Fire them all. What chance do any of them really have?
Fran, Scott, and Siobhan step forward. Scott’s finally reached the end of his rope. He may be overly full of himself, but the red team’s downfall is their arguing.
Benjamin, who had hoped to destroy the red team, is now part of it. Good luck, dude.
