Gordon Ramsay greets 23 returning contestants and announces that they are splitting into 3 teams to take on a service challenge.

It's a two-round elimination challenge to get to the top five, featuring the previous winners Julie Goodwin and Nat Thaipun.

Eight cooks race against time to deliver two of Gordon Ramsay's dishes in a fight for the immunity pin.

Leading up to the first elimination of the season, the contestants must cook a dish representing their identities, inspired by their individual journeys on the competition.

Contestants participate in a jelly-gem tasting challenge, with the top five performers then cooking a dish using at least one of those ingredients to compete for immunity.

The contestants get emotional letters from their beloved ones, a source of motivation as they try to cook an immunity-winning dish and secure a valued place in the top five.
