Back in the kitchen the finalists are preparing their second course. Yigit takes some time to deride Morgan, because there is ALWAYS time for that. First it's not blue, it's violet. So what the hell? Kick him off right now! Even though Morgan hasn't announced his color scheme to the judges and the dessert looks lovely. Anyway. The second course goes out. Yigit is offering a strawberry sorbet and lemongrass ginger ice cream with berry meringue and consommé. Morgan has made a blueberry pavlova with lemon cream in citrus chamomile broth and pearls. Danielle made a palate cleanser of lemon parfait, pomelo and tangerine sorbet and moscato granita. They all look delicious. The chefs run back to the kitchen while their dishes get a post mortem. Hubert Keller does not like Danielle's plating, but someone else thinks she is "making the most sense". Claudia Flaming begrudgingly compliments Morgan's pavlova.
Meanwhile in the kitchen TRAGEDY STRIKES. Well, not really, but Morgan's soufflés are not coming out particularly well. Heather gets rid of her Bitch Face and actually helps Morgan solve his problem and they come up with an inspired solution: Make sure the judges get the pretty ones. Yes, two heads had to come up with that answer. Of course the judges realize something is up when everyone else's soufflés look like dog poo while theirs sit pristinely. Yigit introduces his next course: A muscovado braised pineapple with coconut cake and coconut lime soup, which I am guessing is not like the tom ka you pick up from the Thai takeaway. Morgan has made a manjari soufflé cake with raspberry sorbet and cocoa nib paper. Fine, I'll Google it: Valrhona Manjari chocolate. Also a brand name or a category of chocolate. Mmm...chocolate. Despite Johnny's trepidation, Danielle went ahead and made an ice cream flight. It has a Baked Alaska, a strawberry sundae, and a root beer float. All hit with a shrink ray so they wouldn't be too much. One of the chefs plots to steal Yigit's dessert. Don't steal it, make it a prize! And Yigit, your recipe will be featured on this restaurant's menu! Congratulations!
