The home cooks are challenged to make a single cupcake, and while that sounds like a simple task, they quickly learn that it's not that easy. Later, special guest Chef Cat Cora and the contestants step out of the kitchen for the team challenge: cooking for truckers at a truck stop. The losers return to face the pressure test, where they must name as many ingredients they can from a table of fresh farmers-market finds.

For this week's team challenge, the contestants travel outside the MASTERCHEF kitchen to cater a high-end wedding. However, when the main course goes missing, the judges are less than pleased. The losers return to face the pressure test, where another home cook will be eliminated.
