Tonight’s season finale of Hell’s Kitchen begins with Chef Ramsey sending the final two chefs, Jason and Scott, off to luxury suites in Beverly Hills for the night. Scott and Jason arrive at the hotel and toast to making it to the end of the competition. Then they retire to their rooms and begin preparing their final menus for the competition. The next morning they return to Hell’s Kitchen for breakfast and are surprised by their families.
After breakfast Scott and Jason are taken back to their suites, where Chef Ramsey is waiting for them. He gives them both a gift box, with a brand new apron in it. Then, Chef Ramsey reveals that he is taking them “out on the town” tonight to celebrate.
They head to a boxing match with Chef Ramsey, and they are shocked when they learn that they are the main event. A kitchen is unveiled behind the ring, and Scott and Jason learn that this is their final challenge. They have to both prepare five dishes in front of a live audience in one hour. Afterwards, Chef Ramsey’s five guest judges must come in and score each of their dishes.
First Jason and Scott must present their Caesar salads. Scott receives a 9 from the judge and Jason receives an 8. Next they present their hot appetizers, both Scott and Jason score an 8. So far Scott is still ahead by 1 point. The chefs present their chicken dishes next, and they both receive a 9. The fourth round is the fish entrée, and Jason scores a 9 and Scott scores a 10. Now, Scott and Jason are both tied, and there is one dish left. The final dish is the beef tenderloins, Scott scores a 9 and Jason scores an 8. So, Scott wins the final competition by one point.
Now, it is time for the chefs to pick their teams for the final dinner service. Since Scott won the challenge he gets to choose first. Scott chooses Chris, Ralph, Rochelle, Jessica and Kaisha. Jason chooses Anton, Melanie, Gabriel, and Sandra. Jason and Scott take their chefs to Hell’s Kitchen and go over their menus and station assignments. Jason’s team is concerned because he is all over the place and a hot mess, and Scott’s team is already growing tired of his perfectionism.
It’s time for dinner service to start. Jason’s team is already falling apart, and Jason thinks Sandra is the weakest link and is “moving slower than snail sh-t.” Scott’s team is off to a nearly perfect start on appetizers. However, back in Jason’s kitchen Sandra tries to serve the VIP table cold crab cakes. Jason thinks she is sabotaging him and calls her a “dumbass.”

Scott’s team is working in perfect harmony, and his VIP table is gushing about how good the scallops are. However, their weakest link Jessica is starting to fall apart at the garnishing table. Interestingly, Gabriel is holding it together and even surprising Jason with how well he is doing.
The chefs are over an hour in to the dinner service, and Scott is fed up with Jessica at the garnish station. He kicks her out of his kitchen, and moves Rochelle to the garnish station. Meanwhile in Jason’t kitchen, he is wishing that he had kicked Sandra out. After all of the drama, both kitchens manage to end the night on a positive night.
Jason and Scott say good-bye to their teams and head upstairs to the dorms while Chef Ramsey decides which one of them are the winners of Hell’s Kitchen. After sitting and waiting in agony, Chef Ramsey finally calls Jason and Scott down to his office. He has made a decision.
Jason and Scott both line up and stand in front of their doors, the chef whose door opens is officially the winner of Hell’s Kitchen and will win a salary of a quarter of a million dollars. Chef Ramsey counts to three and Jason and Scott turn the handles of their doors, and Jason’s door does not open.
Scott is the official winner of Hell’s Kitchen!
