After a shocking change, many are left unhappy and the tension in the dorms is at an all-time high. The next day, the chefs are challenged to work in pairs and cook different types of fish on cedar and hickory wood planks. Special guest judge Chef Ben Ford helps Chef Ramsay decide which team delivered the best and most consistent dishes. Later that evening during dinner service, the chefs aim to impress special guest diner actor Shaun Brown. Chef Ramsay has had enough with one contestant and makes a drastic decision.

Chef Ramsay challenges the chefs to teach cooking-impaired housewives how to create a gourmet meal. While the losers are forced to clean the kitchen, the winner is treated to a one-on-one course with two world-renowned chefs: Mark Peele and Ben Ford. The remaining five chefs then face a hectic night as they struggle to balance a dozen appetizers, entrees and desserts. Who will be the newest drop-out?
