[During the signature dish challenge]
What I have here is a grilled hickory-rubbed watermelon.
Seriously? You had forty-five minutes to make me anything, and you grill me a slice of fucking melon?
The rub doesn't work. I'm disappointed, it's underwhelming! One! (to Fernando) Okay, young man, could you take your glasses off for one minute? How old are you?
Stop! Harry Potter looks older! [audience laughs] Jesus, are you on a diet?
[laughs along with the audience and contestants] For you or me?
Okay, so what's the dish?
Pan-seared pigeon, chef, with a sweet potato purée and a California fig and balsamic reduction.
You cooked the squab beautifully. Purée's just absolutely sublime. Congratulations, four.
[Kalen constantly opens the oven door]
(Interview) Kalen, just keep the oven shut. You keep letting out the heat.
Stop opening the oven! Stop!
I need the proteins! MOVE! LET'S GO!
[checks the lamb again] That's still raw! [walks back to workstation] What are we serving?!
(to Kalen) Get it back in the fucking oven!
It's so fucking raw, it's still got its wool on it!
[brings mussels and capellini to the pass] Right behind, chef. Right here, chef.
It's just cooked to fuck.
I'm looking good! Looking good!
Hey, red team! Who just shouted, "Looking good?" Come here, all of you! Let me show you something that's looking shit! (to Kalen) That's you, ignorant lady!
Look at that. What in the fuck is that? Anybody?
RRoe
(interview) Kalen, you brought that capellini to Chef? Are you insane?!
That looks like something that's been left over in the fucking pot wash. Start again!
Meanwhile, back in the red kitchen...
(to Roe) Branzino and salmon garnish, you can go on that.
...Sade on fish is doing her part to keep the entrées flowing.
RRoe
Yes, baby, you're up there! I'm ready.
Let's go! Wait, wh–where's the garnish?
But Roe on garnish can't seem to keep up.
What's up?! You said you had it! (interview) It is so frustrating to have all of my proteins cooked perfectly, ready to go up, and I do not have cauliflower that is ready. It's extremely irritating.
(to Roe) I can't walk the protein before the garnish. Come on, you got that?
RRoe
You're not the only one I'm fighting for.
(interview) Bitch, are you serious? Please!
Red team! What did I say at the beginning of service?!
(to the red team) Hey! All of you, come here! All of you! One, two, three, four, five. Yeah? And one ticket left in the blue.
We're just destroying ourselves! So lackadaisical!
(interview) Chef Ramsay said that we're lackadaisical. As soon as I find out what that means, I'm gonna make sure that I'm never that way again!
[Gordon spits out risotto brought by Roe after quickly tasting some]
[returns to workstation] STOP! All of you, come here! ALL OF YOU! Taste that!
So that doesn't stink of garlic to anybody here...
...or are you just kissing Roe's arse?!
And that's the scallop for the V.I.P. guests. (to Katie and Roe) You and you, fuck off! GET OUT! GET OUT! [Roe throws her towel in anger]
(interview) Raw garlic, raw scallops.
[to La Tasha] One scallop. (to Sade) You, one scallops!
(interview) You both fucking definitely deserve to get the fuck out of the kitchen!
[Gordon has asked the red team to nominate two people for elimination, except...]
(to himself) ...I can't do that. (to both teams) Wait! Blue team, red team! Come back! Hurry up! Red team!
(interview) Oh man. What's happening?
(interview) Whoa! What is going on?
Uh, here's the thing. Sometimes, things happen in Hell's Kitchen, and we have to adapt. Steve left tonight because of injury, so we already lost a chef. And do you know what? Sometimes when this happens, I choose not to send anybody home. But that won't be the case tonight.
[Frank gives a disheartened look]
[beat] Say goodbye to Frank. Your time has come.
(gives Frank a hug) Keep your head up, man. I love you, man.
I'm very, very, very sorry about tonight.
Young man. [holds up a letter of gratitude that Frank wrote earlier] I really appreciate what you wrote to me. Unfortunately tonight, Frank...
...I didn't appreciate your cooking. Give me your jacket. Your time is done in Hell's Kitchen. [Frank gives Gordon his jacket] Thank you. [gives Frank a goodbye handshake] Good night.
[walking through the dining room, towards the front door] It's not my time. I can't believe I did this. [outside the restaurant] I feel sick to my stomach. The saddest part is that I didn't get to show Chef Ramsay I'm so much better than this, and that's what's really ripping me apart. But I still will always have the passion to do what I'm doing, and I still will succeed in life doing what I do.
[After Sterling took the scallops found raw; returns it to the workstation]
Four scallops cooked properly, and one raw.
One raw! Hey, do we need to change stations?!
(interview) That's a good idea.
RRoe
(interview) Of course.
At this stage, it's driving me MAD! You're not learning from your mistakes! Just stop! I've had enough. All of you, get in there and have a meeting, will you?!
(interview) Come on, Sterling!
(to Sterling; as the red team walks into the pantry) Sterling, can you do this?!
Sterling, let me tell you! Do not pull a Frank right now! If you need help...
I'm not pulling no Frank! I GOT THIS!!
RRoe
One more thing comes back, we'll switch.
Alright, I'll switch! One more thing, I'll switch!
[The red team runs back into the kitchen]
(to Sterling) One more, and we're done!
(to Sterling) Behind you, eggplant!
(interview) I'm so close to just yanking the fucking scallops, and trying to cook them over on the fucking meat station right now.
