Boot camp becomes a beachside resort, and chefs Anne Burrell and Cliff Crooks ask the recruits to explore some iconic summer dishes and ingredients. To start, the teams face off in a head-to-head relay race to make a beach picnic basket, and they're tasked with making crab cakes with a sauce and salad. In the main dish challenge, the chefs fire up the grill and have the recruits cook grilled fish dinners. It's smooth sailing for some, but the recruit with the least successful dish must sail off into the sunset.

The recruits find boot camp transformed into a Mad Hatter-style tea party, and chefs Anne Burrell and Cliff Crooks send them down the rabbit hole to discover the magical wonderland of desserts and pastry. To learn about the different types of sweet treats and ingredients, the recruits go on a scavenger hunt that involves solving riddles and completing tasks. They learn how to make fruit tarts, and things get saucy for the main dish challenge when the chefs ask the recruits to make gnocchi and a hearty sauce. Unfortunately, it's "Arrivederci!" for the recruit with the least successful dish.
