Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21

Prior to the signature dish challenge, Ramsay revealed that the season's winner would become head chef at the brand-new Hell's Kitchen restaurant at Caesars Atlantic City.

Zeus stalled the forties team with salty and scrambled carbonara, while Charlene and Billy struggled to give times on chicken and Wellington for the chef's table.

The twenties team chose Alyssa and Ileana to sit out due to having two extra members, ultimately winning six-five, with only Sommer failing to score.

In the red kitchen, Ileana again clashed with her partner on fish, this time Sommer, who forgot to drop a lobster and brought it up raw.

However, the forties team struggled again as Billy called out orders over Ramsay and O'Shay gave inaccurate times to Nicole, who undercooked the chicken, while he overcooked the Wellington.

Each team selected one slider of each type to present to Ramsay and guest chef David Myers, who scored them on a scale of one-three.

Reward/punishment: The men received a trip to sunny Palm Springs, while the women had to wash, slice and peel potatoes for the slider.

The red team breezed through appetizers, but struggled on entrées, getting marched into the storeroom after Alyssa and Sommer served raw lamb.

Ramsay sent Alejandro back in line before sparing Billy and Vlad, deeming the men's performance to be as strong as their previous one.

Team challenge: After showing photos of the chefs and their spouses, Ramsay announced that he would be hosting the previous season's winner, Trenton Garvey, and his fiancée Macee's wedding.

Service: Comedians Andy Richter and Matt Walsh were in attendance in addition to Jim Tavaré and skateboarder Charles "Bucky" Lasek.

In the blue kitchen, Vlad was slow to give Ramsay a time on his scallops and Abe served cold mushrooms.

Despite cooking her chicken perfectly, Ileana was eliminated for putting honey in her eggplant puree, which made it overly sweet and threw off the balance of her dish.

Each contestant did remarkably well during the challenge, with the biggest criticism being Alejandro's Thai-inspired pork taco being too sweet due to his use of coconut milk without a different flavor profile to balance it out.

On entrées, Cheyenne burned her hand trying to put out a fire in an excessively hot pan and Abe fell behind on two salmon after not hearing Alex call for them.

Black jacket challenge part two: The five remaining chefs were tasked to recreate a dish of their choice from Ramsay's menu.

After they finished cooking, Ramsay called down the other four chefs one by one into the dining room to sample the three dishes blindly and pick their favorite.

Individual Challenge: The final five picked Allegiant Airlines flight numbers that each brought a bag containing ingredients inspired by U.S. cities with which they would prepare a dish.

Cheyenne got the black jacket team off to a slow start on appetizers, sending up raw lobster and forgetting two orders of scallops.

Ramsay is forced to kick the entire team out after Alex undercooked steak, Cheyenne served unevenly cooked salmon, and Dafne forgot the garnish on the same ticket.

Individual Challenge: Ramsay tasked the final four to produce a visually stunning seafood dish worthy of being featured in Entertainment Weekly, with the magazine's senior editor, Gerrad Hall, as a guest judge.

Hall gave glowing reviews to all four dishes, ultimately picking Dafne's sea urchin polenta as his favorite.

Alejandro was an effective leader and caught a risotto with orzo pasta and a ribeye in place of a New York strip; however, he failed to notice Christina putting the wrong lentils on a dish.

Sommer led rather frantically, failing to notice a ticket missing an appetizer and an entrée and arugula instead of spinach, while also getting bogged down by Alex being slow on risotto.

Alex also led confidently and decisively, catching a carbonara with fava beans instead of peas and halibut instead of scallops, but missing venison in place of lamb.

Dafne was quiet at times, leading to Sommer talking over her, and she missed a ticket with the wrong number of entrées, before spotting arctic char where there should have been salmon.

Shortly afterwards, Ramsay called them to the dining room to introduce their final challenge: design their own menu for Hell's Kitchen, each with the help of a sous-chef.

Individual challenge: Alejandro, Alex, and Dafne had an hour to prepare their menus consisting of a cold and hot appetizer, and a chicken, fish, and beef entreé.

Service: Both teams overcame minor stumbles on appetizers as Dafne struggled to get Sommer and Abe to work together, and Brett undercooked shrimp fritters.

Ramsay called Alex and Dafne into his office for the last time, offering praise for their accomplishments throughout the season, and asked them to stand in front of two doors.
