Gordon chose to advance Mary Poehnelt, a 26-year-old butcher and cook from Belchertown, MA, to the finals and will reveal the other Top 2 finalist next week. Either Ja'Nel Witt, a 31-year-old executive chef from Houston, TX, or Jon Scallion, a 27-year-old chef de cuisine from York, PA, will earn the other spot in the finale.
Gordon noted that in the history of Hell's Kitchen, he never had a more difficult time deciding whom his Final 2 should be.
Earlier in the episode, the four finalists competed in a cooking challenge. For the task, each chef had 30 minutes to taste a dish and then replicate it without knowing its ingredients or protein. Cyndi won the challenge and received a $1,000 shopping spree along with some one-on-one time with Gordon over a nice lunch. The losing finalists had to load a moving truck.
The episode ended in a cliffhanger in which Gordon was about to announce the other Top 2 finalist.
