The mentors and their proteges all gather for the first time in London at St Ermin's Hotel, on the eve of the final. They have just one task - to devise and cook a three-course menu worthy of being served at the hotel in the final. Each protege must cook a menu that reflects what they have learnt from their mentors. Michel's protege has to prove to him they have mastered his classic French cookery, Theo's protege must present a rustic Italian menu and Tom's must create a menu informed by both Scottish ingredients and French cookery techniques.

Before they get to cook their menus in the final however, the dishes have to pass muster with their mentors. Tom, Theo and Michel must choose two courses that they believe can win them the competition when the proteges cook for the grand mentors in tomorrow night's final. It is a tough ask for the proteges to impress their mentors and with all three chefs in the kitchen, tasting all the dishes, the pressure is on and competition is red hot. Tension runs high as not everyone impresses and the pressure is on the mentors to pass on last pieces of advice and suggest vital improvements before the final. Show less
