The chefs take on a new type of challenge when the restaurant is closed for Chef Ramsay's daughter's 21st birthday party. The teams must endure double-Ramsay scrutiny during the challenge and dinner service, in which one team rises to the occasion, while the other serves up its biggest disappointment thus far.

The remaining chefs compete in a tag-team relay race competition, in which they must cook entrees against the other team. Later, five chef-testants face the first "Cook For Your Life" challenge of the season.
