With one team in a deficit, the battle of the sexes is over as Ramsay switches up the groups in hopes of helping them out. Now with even teams, Hell's Kitchen is open for lunch for the first time ever and the wannabe chefs are put to the test as they serve a new category of guests: children. But just when things start to look better, the contestants once again fumble in the kitchen and Ramsay, disappointed with everyone, forces one cook to leave.

Inspiration is Ramsay's next lesson as the two teams battle it out with original dishes to win a night out in the town. With the stakes even higher, Ramsay gives them the opportunity to create their own menu for the night's dinner service. But even with the freedom of cooking up the meal of their choice, one wannabe chef can't stand the heat and gets cooked for good.
