The contestants must prepare a unique dish in the first mystery box challenge featuring ingredients typically used in desserts; in the next round, the contestants prepare a classic American dish.

The cooks compete to feed 500 male and female troops on a desert Army base; the losing team faces a pressure test featuring blueberry pie.

The cooks split into teams of two and prepare a poultry dish using different parts of the chicken; two pairs face a pressure test with eggs.

The contestants prepare a seafood menu for a beachfront wedding; one team faces a challenge featuring a meal with steak and fries.

The contestants get to choose between two mystery boxes, and the winner of the challenge selects which type of pasta the cooks make.

The remaining contestants receive hometown encouragement as they prepare savoury apple dishes; while the challenge winner is safe from elimination, the other contestants form teams of two and make a variety of potstickers.
