- For the team challenge, both teams had to set up a dining table to Ramsay's specifications, the winning team were treated to massages but the losing team had to clean silverware and set all 100 tables in the dining room before service.
- Team challenge: The teams had to set up a dining table to Ramsay's standards. The red team made four mistakes while the blue team made one, giving the blue team their first challenge victory; Jimmy was berated for not knowing how to fold napkins properly.
Reward/punishment: The blue team received massages in the dorms. The red team had to clean silverware and set up all the tables in the dining room before service, while Chris had to serve champagne to the blue team.
Service: Ramsay announced that the first team to serve all their tables would win service. In the blue kitchen, while Jessica performed well on meat, Andrew brought up the wrong garnishes, and Mary Ellen had three risottos returned for being bland before forgetting an order of tuna. In the red kitchen, Elsie put in a strong performance on meat with Chris' encouragement, helping the red team finish five tables ahead of the blue team and giving them the win. At this point, Ramsay shut down the blue kitchen and named Jessica best of the worst in the blue team.
Elimination: Jessica nominated Andrew and Mary Ellen. Ramsay eliminated Mary Ellen for her inconsistency.
Mary Ellen's exit comment: "I think that Chef Ramsay's decision was the wrong decision. I don't believe I was the weak link on the team tonight. I think as shown in the past it was Andrew that was the weakest link. I think that Andrew will be joining me shortly."
Ramsay's comment: "Mary Ellen has left Hell's Kitchen because of her inconsistency. What the rest of the team should understand, is that it is very crucial to get better and more consistent. That didn't happen with Mary Ellen."
