00:01Previously on Hell's Kitchen, Battle of the States...
00:04Hell's Kitchen!
00:07The final three were challenged to create an elevated five-course menu.
00:12Off you go, guys.
00:14Sydney embraced her southern roots.
00:16She used to beg my dad to make me chicken and dumplings.
00:19Ellie leaned into her background.
00:21Las Vegas, I'm like, let's glamour. Steakhouse.
00:24And Jada refused to settle for less than perfection.
00:27It's falling apart.
00:29So we're gonna try this gnocchi for a third time.
00:32And her Florida-inspired dishes.
00:34A crudo.
00:35It is a ten.
00:36Wow.
00:37Jada's gnocchi.
00:38A nine.
00:39Amazing.
00:40The New York strip.
00:41I'm gonna give you a nine.
00:42Incredible.
00:43Left the judges wanting more.
00:44Can you take it? No, sorry.
00:45And she would be the first chef to earn a spot in the finale.
00:48Finally!
00:50Can't talk right now because I'm gonna cry.
00:52With North Carolina's Sydney and Nevada's Ellie vying for the remaining spot.
00:57One more dish to judge.
00:59It all came down to guest judge Stephanie Isard.
01:02Ellie, I think you cooked it so beautifully.
01:04I'm gonna give you a nine.
01:05And that score enabled Ellie to join Jada in the finale.
01:09Amazing.
01:10I am this close to winning.
01:12With the first brigade pick, Jada chose.
01:15Anaya.
01:16Followed by Anthony, Henry, and Chris.
01:19Ellie's first pick was no surprise.
01:22Sydney.
01:23Who was followed by Lisa, Jaden, and Alexandra.
01:27And now you're only one win away.
01:29Tonight, it's Nevada versus Florida as Ellie and Jada face off.
01:34So it doesn't leave unless it's perfect.
01:35Yes, Jada.
01:36In a no holds barred final dinner service.
01:37Come on, Lisa.
01:38I need those ducks.
01:39Get it together.
01:40With a life-changing opportunity on the line.
01:41I know we know how to cook.
01:42Jaden, both salty.
01:43And all eyes on the final two.
01:44Come on, Alex.
01:45Walking means walking.
01:46The pressure has never been higher.
01:47What the pissing me off?
01:48Keep pushing.
01:49My heart is beating out of my chest.
01:51Which chef will be crowned champion?
01:52The chef whose door opens will become the winner.
01:55Find out tonight.
01:56One.
01:57On the tension-filled season finale.
01:58Two.
01:59Of Hell's Kitchen, Battle of the States.

02:20Ah!
02:25And now, the conclusion of Hell's Kitchen, Battle of the States.
02:31Up you go, girl.
02:32Up you go.
02:33Up you go.
02:34Up you go.
02:35Well done.
02:36Smash it.
02:37Come on.
02:38Go, go, go.
02:39Thank you, thank you!
02:41Oh, my God.
02:43I can't believe this.
02:45I made it to the finale of Hell's Kitchen.
02:49Shayna.
02:50Congrats.
02:52I am overwhelmed with emotion.
02:54I just want to cry.
02:56This is absolutely amazing.
02:58I cannot believe I've made it this far.
03:01Hey.
03:02I'm so proud of you.
03:04I lost.
03:05It sucks, but I am going to do everything in my power
03:08to make sure that Ellie wins.
03:10She's still my Hell's Kitchen bestie.
03:12I'm so glad you're in the final.
03:14I'm so glad.
03:16Sydney is disappointed, but the minute Hell's Kitchen opens,
03:20she is going to do everything in her power
03:22to ensure that I win.
03:24So, Syd, hot apps.
03:26Lisa obviously is meat.
03:27Jayden's going to run fish.
03:29Alex is going to run garnish.
03:31I'm going to crush garnish tomorrow.
03:33I'm going to prove all them haters wrong.
03:35Muscles.
03:36It's going to be in a pan.
03:37You're going to do garlic, shallots.
03:40I have worked steakhouses for the past six, seven years
03:43of my life.
03:44This menu is my flair, my twists, my flavors.
03:49All righty.
03:50Meat.
03:51So, the duck is going to be a sancho confit,
03:55and then a nice chopped treviso.
03:58And that will be separate from the other stuff?
04:01Nope.
04:02This is all one pan.
04:03Oh, okay.
04:04This is one pan.
04:05I do think I need to keep a watchful eye on Alex
04:08since she's not as strong as a leader on a station.
04:11You can kind of pre-do it a little bit.
04:13I used to do that at one restaurant I worked at,
04:15but I don't know.
04:17It's a risk of it overcooking, though.
04:19There is a risk of it overcooking.
04:21I'm just a little concerned about our team with Alexandra.
04:25She'd probably be the weakest chef on our team.
04:27All right.
04:28Ribeye.
04:29We're going creamed spinach with this one
04:30and the poached egg, right?
04:32Yep.
04:33Heard.
04:38On today's agenda,
04:40we're going to talk about how Jada made the finale.
04:43And then we'll talk about...
04:46What is it?
04:47I have bad eyesight.
04:48Jada put an eye up for elimination.
04:50She wanted to talk to you about that.
04:52Wow.
04:53So, I have beef, actually.
04:55I may be out of the competition,
04:56but beef is forever.
04:58No, I'm just kidding.
04:59I'm just kidding.
05:00Why do you hate me?
05:01I don't hate you.
05:02I'm so happy for you.
05:03What?
05:04If it wasn't me,
05:05it was going to be you.
05:07I'm not a huge fan of Anaya.
05:08I think she's cocky.
05:10Why are you laughing?
05:11I think one service with Anaya
05:13is probably enough for me.
05:15So, manana.
05:17Do not put me on meat.
05:19Shut up.
05:20Meat is going to be Henry.
05:22Fish is going to be Anaya.
05:24I'm actually going to put Chris on garnish.
05:25And then, obviously, Anthony,
05:27you are on apps.
05:29I'm going to write out the seared scallops.
05:32So, the sauce underneath is a yuzu verblanc.
05:34Mmm.
05:35Nice.
05:37Overall, this menu really kind of plays into my background.
05:39I mean, it's got Cuban.
05:40It's got African-American,
05:41a little bit of Asian influence.
05:43I think it's very tropical,
05:44and it lends well to Florida,
05:45which is what I'm representing.
05:46It's a one big melting pot.
05:48So, instead of the carrots and the turnips
05:50being best friends in the pan,
05:52it's going to be the carrots and the peas.
05:53Pick up carrots, peas, or butter?
05:55Exactly.
05:56I'm extremely confident with my menu.
05:58Everything is me on a plate.
05:59I stay true to me by staying true to my flavors.
06:02I would rather you guys not have to leave your station
06:04if you don't have to.
06:05Okay.
06:06I think Jada has a great menu.
06:08I think it's well put together.
06:10I definitely want Jada to win,
06:12but Ellie is a hell of a line cook,
06:15a hell of a chef.
06:16So, yeah, this is going to be a fight.
06:25What's up?
06:26Hi, chef.
06:27After a late night planning their menus
06:29with their brigades.
06:30I want you organized to go to war.
06:32Yeah.
06:33This is war tonight.
06:34Ellie and Jada begin the all-important prep
06:36for tonight's dinner service.
06:38Don't be afraid of hurting people's feelings tonight.
06:40If you see someone going down, we'll see.
06:42Yes, chef.
06:43I'm here to win.
06:44This is the biggest day of my life.
06:46I have never been so eager and so scared.
06:51Please, every station have butter.
06:53I don't want that to be a demise tonight,
06:55not having butter.
06:57I think nerves are a great sign.
06:58If you're not nervous, it means you don't care.
07:00A little heads up, please, guys,
07:02please make sure you have enough white wine.
07:04Hurt?
07:05I care a lot.
07:06I care a whole lot.
07:07Let's serve those guys a little bit more, Jay.
07:10Get a little more color on those tomatoes.
07:11Hurt it?
07:12Try to get them, like, maybe a touch smaller,
07:14just a touch.
07:15Okay.
07:17You're going to take all of these, right,
07:19on a cutting board, strain this liquid out,
07:21and literally just run an eye through it.
07:22Great mix, okay.
07:23Sweat them off a little bit.
07:24Uh-huh.
07:25I just don't want to do all of it right now.
07:26I want to wait till we get closer to, like, real service.
07:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:28But let's make a small pot now.
07:30Fried shallot.
07:33Love it?
07:34I don't want to micromanage.
07:35I don't want to over-dictate,
07:36but I also want things to come out my way
07:38and nobody else's way.
07:39Mustard cream sauce is already done,
07:41and I put it over there.
07:42It just needs a label.
07:43I do like being in control, or so I've heard.
07:45I'm just waiting on Votarga.
07:46It looks like this, which I haven't seen yet.
07:48Okay, that's fine.
07:49I'm doing it on Expo.
07:51Oh, you're just going to shave?
07:52Yeah, so don't worry about it.
07:53Oh.
07:54Jada's doing as much as she can right now.
07:55I don't want to go crazy with how big it is,
07:57but I also don't want to, like, make them choose too small.
08:01Like, girl, you got to let us do some stuff,
08:03because she's got a lot of stuff going on with this venue.
08:05Yeah, absolutely.
08:06And then not super julienne.
08:07I would say, like, boom.
08:08Like, one-inch pieces.
08:09I'll make one and I'll bring it on.
08:10Exactly.
08:11I don't know what the is going on,
08:12but I hope she figured it out.
08:22Jada and Ellie, let's have 30 seconds together.
08:24Yes, Chef.
08:25Yes, Chef.
08:26Let's go somewhere quiet.
08:27Over to the bar.
08:28I have no clue what's going on.
08:30I know it's not to have a drink.
08:31That would be too easy.
08:32Before we do battle for the final time
08:35in this battle of the state season,
08:37I thought I should equip you with some battle armor.
08:39Yes, Chef.
08:40Jada.
08:41Wow.
08:42Ellie, open them up.
08:43Let's have a look.
08:44Wow.
08:45Your amazing finale jacket.
08:49Oh, my goodness, Chef.
08:50This is beautiful.
08:51Remember, tonight I'll be watching everything.
08:54How you control your kitchen,
08:56and more importantly, the standard you push out.
08:58Let's go.
08:59Thank you, Chef.
09:00Amazing.
09:01To me, this jacket means more than just a piece of fabric.
09:05I mean, it signifies everything that I've gone through
09:07in this competition and everything that I've experienced
09:10in my life.
09:11Good luck.
09:12Seriously.
09:13If I don't take it, I'm happy you are.
09:15Likewise.
09:16I am honored to go into battle against Jada right now.
09:20I know that it is not going to be an easy fight,
09:23and I don't want an easy fight.
09:24I want to earn my place.
09:26I think this coat is going to be a good luck charm for me.
09:29Longest ticket time tonight on AFS?
09:31Sydney, seven minutes.
09:33Heard.
09:34With dinner service just an hour away.
09:37A little bit more salt.
09:38A little bit more salt, yeah.
09:39We all might want a little bit more stock on the station.
09:42Ellie and Jada are focused on every detail.
09:45So, cauliflower, I want some color.
09:47Not a whole lot, but a little bit.
09:49The scallops are honestly extremely easy compared to what you've got going on.
09:53In anticipation of the most important dinner service of their lives.
09:58So, eggs and chopped spinach is going to be your thing, okay, Alex?
10:01Yep.
10:02Heard.
10:03Ugh.
10:04Yeah, these are not poaching very easily.
10:06Oh, my gosh.
10:08So, I poached a lot of eggs in my day, and for some reason I can't get these eggs poached.
10:15Yeah, we're going to work on those.
10:17Yeah, for sure.
10:18Am I crazy?
10:19Like, you know, am I just terrible?
10:22Oh, my gosh.
10:23The eggs are that bad.
10:24It's very bad.
10:25It is Alex versus egg.
10:28It's not that hard.
10:30You got this.
10:38I've never had this much trouble with them, ever.
10:42It usually helps, too, if you kind of break the white membrane.
10:48Better?
10:49Ugh.
10:50Oh, my God.
10:53How many do you have?
10:55Not enough.
10:56Alexandra is cracking.
10:57She's sweating.
10:58You know, oh, it's not good.
10:59Oh, it's not good.
11:00Come on, girl.
11:01What the is going on here?
11:03How are these eggs working, Lisa?
11:04Uh, let's try a new water.
11:06So embarrassing.
11:08It's like, did we even go to culinary school?
11:10We need to get these eggs figured out.
11:12I know.
11:13We really need to get these eggs figured out.
11:14I know.
11:15Get it together.
11:16Dude, this is nerve-wracking as .
11:17This is my prize joy of a dish.
11:20I really, really need you just to give me nice-looking eggs.
11:24Okay, these are .
11:33We need to get these eggs figured out.
11:36I know.
11:37We really need to get these eggs figured out.
11:38I know.
11:39Oh, my God.
11:40Come on, Alex.
11:42Please give me good eggs.
11:43If we don't get this right, we're gonna...
11:45How are we gonna serve this ?
11:47Apparently, with this brigade today,
11:49it takes four chefs to poach an egg.
11:51It could be an over-vinegar of the water as well.
11:54I can't let Ellie down.
11:56The water's spinning now.
11:58Because if she doesn't win, she's gonna feel like it would...
12:01Maybe I played a role in that,
12:03and I just couldn't live with myself.
12:04Oh, yay.
12:05Finally.
12:06Perfect.
12:07Yay.
12:08How are we on the whole egg debacle?
12:11No debacle, Chef.
12:15So, hey.
12:16Chef's waiting for him to his office.
12:17Ellie.
12:18Chef wants to see you in his office.
12:20I don't know what's in store for me right now.
12:22You can't predict anything in this place.
12:25After you, darling.
12:27Hi, ladies.
12:28Sit down, please.
12:29Yes, Chef.
12:30Tonight, you represent your state,
12:33you represent yourself and your families,
12:35and you represent me.
12:36Yes, Chef.
12:37OK?
12:38But to become my head chef here
12:40at Hell's Kitchen Foxwoods,
12:42you'll be representing something else extremely important.
12:46The amazing people here,
12:48as well as this incredible land.
12:50I want to introduce you to someone very special,
12:52the chairman of the Mashantucket Piquant Tribal Nation.
12:56Chairman Butler.
12:57Sir.
12:58Wow.
12:59Oh, my goodness me.
13:00Hello.
13:01It's a pleasure to meet you.
13:02Nice to meet you.
13:03And Jada.
13:04Good, good.
13:05Hello and welcome.
13:06The dedication that you guys put into your craft
13:09is no different than what we call Pequot perseverance.
13:12My ancestors persevered in order for us all to be here today
13:15on these incredible lands.
13:16Absolutely.
13:17And you guys have put that same perseverance into what you do.
13:19Meeting Chairman Butler of Foxwoods is such a great and distinct honor.
13:25As hard as you all have worked, we'd like to give you a little treat.
13:28We just opened an indoor water park called Great Wolf Resorts at Mashantucket,
13:31and we'd like to give both of you and three of your guests expense-covered trip
13:36to Great Wolf Resorts here at Mashantucket on behalf of our nation.
13:41Thank you so much.
13:42We thank you both so much.
13:43Thank you so much.
13:44Touched.
13:45Our pleasure.
13:48Thank you so much.
13:49Wow.
13:50What an honor.
13:51I am so excited.
13:52I will be using this in the very near future.
13:56Tonight, you've got to make this service count.
13:58This is it, okay?
13:59Yes, Chef.
14:00It's your kitchen.
14:01You've got this.
14:02Thank you, Chef.
14:03Shall we go down?
14:04Yes, Chef.
14:05Let's go.
14:06Let's go.
14:07Let's go.
14:08Let's go.
14:09Oh, my God.
14:14Wow.
14:19You see an entirely full dining room.
14:24My adrenaline is flowing.
14:26My heart is beating out of my chest.
14:28There's no time to hold back now.
14:29I just have to push forward and give an amazing service.
14:32Thank you so much for being here.
14:34And what an exciting night we have.
14:36Please allow me to introduce our two amazing, incredible finalists.
14:41From the state of Florida, Jada.
14:47And from the state of Nevada, we have Ellie.
14:50Ladies and gentlemen, you're in for a treat tonight.
14:57One of these incredible chefs will be crowned the winner of season 24, Hell's Kitchen, Battle
15:03of the States.
15:04Please take your seats.
15:05Jada and Ellie, let's go.
15:08Yes, Chef.
15:09Here we go.
15:10Off we go.
15:11Go, go, go.
15:12Whoo!
15:13Tonight.
15:14Ellie on three.
15:15One, two, three.
15:16Ellie!
15:17It's the final battle of the states.
15:18Jada!
15:19Who will be the winner of Hell's Kitchen?
15:20One last time, guys.
15:21One last hurrah.
15:22Will it be Ellie representing Nevada?
15:23Love you guys.
15:24With her steakhouse menu featuring steamed mussels, pan-seared ribeye, and roasted duck breast.
15:28She's a horse in nature.
15:29Come on, sweetheart.
15:30Or will it be Jada representing Florida?
15:34So honored to have you guys on my team.
15:37With her menu of cumin-dusted scallops, New York strip steak, and pecan-crusted red snapper.
15:45This looks so good.
15:46I'm so honored to have you guys on my team.
15:49With her menu of cumin-dusted scallops, New York strip steak, and pecan-crusted red snapper.
15:56This looks so delicious.
15:58I'll take the ramassa crudo.
16:01The pecan-crusted snapper.
16:03Can I also do the roasted duck breast, please?
16:05Chef Ellie, first ticket.
16:07Four top.
16:08Thank you, Marino.
16:09Seeing my menu items written on this ticket is a very, very surreal feeling.
16:14Order in.
16:15Yes, chef.
16:16Four top.
16:17Two mussels, two capellini.
16:18Two mussels, two capellini.
16:19This is my menu.
16:21No one else's.
16:22This is mine.
16:23How long in the first set of apps?
16:25About seven minutes on that.
16:26I'm on fish tonight.
16:27Being from Massachusetts, I'm really comfortable working with fish.
16:30So I got to make it a point to really shine, really stand out, and just put on for Ellie.
16:35Guys, two minutes on my two mussels.
16:37I got my dancing shoes on today.

16:41Yes, chef.
16:4230 seconds.
16:4330 seconds.
16:44Ellie and I have never worked with Jaden in the kitchen before, but if Ellie didn't trust him,
16:50she would not have put him on fish station because it is a beast of a station.
16:54I'm walking capellini now.
16:56Walking heard.
16:57Right behind you, chef.
16:59Behind.
17:00Two capellini to the pass.
17:01On your right.
17:03Mussels, how long?
17:04Walking, chef.
17:05Walking means walking.
17:06Walking means walking.
17:08Come on.
17:09Come on.
17:10Coming down, guys.
17:11Hot?
17:12Sydney, capellini's delicious.
17:14Thank you, chef.
17:15Can you check that and make sure they're good?
17:18Are you okay with it?
17:19No.

17:22Chef.
17:24Yes, chef.
17:25Add some more butter to these, please.
17:26They're both salty.
17:27Heard it.
17:28What is going on?
17:29We cannot have food being sent back right now.
17:32Good on Ellie for not letting anything slip by her.
17:35This is too important for that.
17:37Coming down hot.
17:38Very hot, chef.
17:40Heard.
17:42Much better.
17:43Pretty much better, yes?
17:44That's good.
17:45That's good, Jaden.

18:00Jada has put me on fish today, which is a smart choice.
18:03I'm a minute out from the first order of scallops.
18:05How we look.
18:06Heard, let's go.
18:07I'm ready in a minute.
18:08Heard.
18:09I've got a tremendous amount of confidence in Anaya.
18:11She has always cooked beautiful pieces of fish.
18:13Never had one sent back, so I know she has my back,
18:16and I know she knows how to cook.
18:18I'm ready to walk.
18:19Let's walk.
18:20Walking scallops.
18:21Jimmy.
18:22Scallops, gnocchi.
18:24In the middle, chef.
18:25Right here?
18:26Yep.
18:28Are you kidding me?
18:29Yeah.
18:30Cold.
18:31Anaya.
18:32Yes, chef.
18:33I need you to the pass, please.
18:34I need another minute, please.
18:35Look at this one.
18:36On it.
18:37Anaya's sending up raw scallops, man.
18:39It's wild, because we've cooked so many scallops.
18:42Like, we've done this every night.
18:43What the is happening?
18:45Give me three minutes on that next two scallops, please.
18:47I need those scallops first.
18:48I have gnocchi that's going to die.
18:49Yes, chef.
18:50Give me 30 seconds on that first scallop.
18:5130 seconds, or else we're going to have to re-fire.
18:53Yes, chef.
18:54Yes, chef.
18:55I have, like, four gnocchis ready to go.
18:58You know, it's the finale, and we want Jada to win.
19:01Walking re-fire scallops.
19:02Walking re-fire scallops.
19:04If I send out another undercooked scallop,
19:07I'm literally going to screech.
19:08I need everybody to the pass right now.
19:20It's the final dinner service.
19:22I need everybody to the pass right now.
19:24And Jada is having issues with her friend Anaya
19:27on the first appetizers of the night.
19:30I know we know how to cook, okay?
19:32I know we do.
19:33So the scallops need to be perfect.
19:34I think we are rushing.
19:35Mm-hmm.
19:36We're going to re-fire.
19:37Yes, chef.
19:38Absolutely.
19:39Drop him right now.
19:40Anaya's us on the scallops.
19:41We are behind.
19:42Like, what the is this girl doing, you know?
19:44I can cook scallops.
19:45This is .
19:46It's not a race.
19:47Yes, chef.
19:48I'd rather the food come out and it takes longer.
19:49Yes, chef.
19:50Yes, chef.
19:51Two more orders.
19:52Jada is on Anaya's ass.
19:54How long?
19:55Five minutes, please, chef.
19:56Five minutes to the window.
19:57You know, she's driving the bus.
19:58Leadership starts from the top and if your leader is confident like Jada is right now,
20:03then that confidence is going to exude out and we're going to like absorb it.
20:06Walking scallops.
20:07Thank you, scallops.
20:09Anaya, the scallops are perfect.
20:13Yes, chef.
20:15That's the way, Jada.
20:16Start strong.
20:17Service, please.
20:18With Jada keeping her standards high.
20:21This guy is amazing.
20:22Wow.
20:23Jada's got this in the bag.
20:24Yeah.
20:25Your standards, yes?
20:26Yes, chef.
20:27Service.
20:29Diners are now enjoying appetizers from both kitchens.
20:32Like, wow.

20:39Fire now.
20:40Two duck, two ribeye.

20:44I think she's going to kill it tonight for sure.
20:46A minute and 30 out on two ribeye and two duck.
20:50Ellie specifically picked me to be on the meat station tonight.
20:53Yeah.
20:54I'm hoping for Ellie to win.
20:56She deserves it.
20:57Throw it here.

21:08All right.
21:10Damn it.
21:11Come on, Lisa.
21:12You got it, baby.
21:13No, it's just these ones are fat.
21:14They're fat, fat.
21:15Yeah, that's not like them.
21:16Yeah, that's not like them.

21:22Come on, Lisa.
21:23I need those ducks.

22:10Garnish in the window at two, actually.
22:11So how do we have entrees coming in two and garnish coming in two?
22:14You said two?
22:15Garnish always comes first.
22:16Sorry, chef.
22:17I didn't hear him, chef.
22:18So then you guys are going to have to hold back.

22:27Yes, chef.
22:28Steak.
22:30Chris, I need you here, please.
22:31I need you to fix this.
22:32There's, like, no butter.
22:33There's just this broth.
22:34It's supposed to be emulsified, glossy, creamy.
22:35Please.
22:36Bad food is not coming out of this kitchen tonight.
22:38Not while I'm standing here at the pass.
22:39Chris, get a grip a little bit.
22:40Yes, chef.
22:41I am a little overwhelmed.
22:42There's a lot of garnishes, which is, like, nine things coming off my station.
22:44So I'm going to get a little bit.
22:45You guys are going to have to hold back.
22:46You guys are going to have to hold back.
22:47I'm ready.

22:55And it's a brand new menu.
22:56So, you know, I'm just trying to find a groove right now.
22:59Come on.
23:00Push it, Chris.
23:01Come on.

23:11OK.
23:12I need garnish.
23:13Smart move switching them out.
23:14Yes, chef.
23:15Should not be waiting for garnish.
23:16Jada is doing absolutely phenomenal right now.
23:18You see your station is dragging.
23:20You've got to get the out the way.
23:21And you've got to put somebody else over there.
23:23On your left, hot.
23:24Honestly, it just shows that she's a leader.
23:26Anthony, beautiful.
23:28Extra tender love for you from your dog.
23:33While Jada's family thoroughly enjoys their entrees.
23:37This is definitely Jada on a plate.
23:39Yeah.
23:40Back in the red kitchen.
23:41Chef Ellie, I have your family here, OK?
23:43Yes.
23:45You're welcome.
23:46She is now focused on her family's order.

24:23Oh, yes, chef.
24:24Sorry.
24:25Come on, Alex.
24:26I can't plate the steak.
24:27Yes, chef.
24:28Alex is kind of shutting down a little bit, but Ellie's leadership is an 11 out of 10.
24:32Alex, this egg is under.
24:33Give me a new egg.
24:34You can hear the confidence in her voice.
24:35Make it look sexy, okay?
24:36Yes, chef.
24:37Come on, Alex.
24:38Don't shut down, baby.
24:39I'm really just trying to focus on making sure that if Ellie doesn't win tonight, she's
24:42not going to be like, it's because I had to have Alex on my team.
24:43I can only hold it for like 45 seconds.
24:44Yes, it's coming, chef.
24:45My ribeye is cooked perfectly, and why isn't garnish there?
24:48Is it ready or not?

25:09It's not ready.
25:10It'll take one minute.

40:00Woo! Yes! Well done. Well done. Come on.
40:10My life is completely changed, and I am just so thankful.
40:15Woo! Well done, Ellie. Well done.
40:20I mean, obviously it sucks. Like, my door didn't open. At the end of the day, everything happens for a reason,
40:27and Ellie deserves all the success. She has an amazing heart, and I'm so proud of her.
40:34Representing Nevada, Season 24, Battle of the States, winner of Hell's Kitchen, Ellie, ladies and gentlemen, come on!
40:40Woo!
40:42Woo!
40:44Good ship. You did it, though. Come on!
40:46Thank you so, so much. This has been the journey of a lifetime. This has been the hardest and most joyful thing I have ever done.
40:56Thank you, my brigade. Thank you to my boyfriend, my dad, and my best friend. You guys are my rocks,
41:03and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. I don't think anything is ever going to amount to the way that
41:09I feel right now, and to a young girl who is unsure of her place in this industry. Chase your dreams. It will all pay off.
41:19Every second of it will. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for this amazing, incredible woman.
41:26Go, Jada!
41:28Representing the state of Florida is Jada. Come on.
41:32Go, Jada. Oh, my God.
41:34I look back, the person that I was the first day I walked in here, and the person that I am now,
41:41those are two completely different Jadas. So if I, you know, have anything to be happy for, it's that. It's self-growth.
41:50I don't think that this is the end of the road. If anything, I think that this is the beginning.
41:54One little finishing piece of garnish to cement this incredible journey.
41:59Yes, Chef.
42:00Would you put this amazing portrait on that wall?
42:03I would love it.
42:04There we go.
42:04I got you, girl.
42:05Off we go.
42:06Go ahead, Jada!
42:07Come on, guys. Give us some love.
42:09Oh!
42:09Oh!
42:10Oh!
42:11Yeah!
42:16No one is ever going to tell me ever again that I will never amount to anything,
42:23because I have here tonight.
42:25Give it up for Ellie, everybody. Come on!
42:27Oh!
42:29Amazing.
42:30You didn't need that.
42:31Amazing.
42:32Ellie's brilliant final dinner service tonight confirmed for me that she is the absolute right
42:37choice for my next head chef.
42:39Come here, Henry.
42:40I'm proud of you, girl.
42:41She's decisive, confident, resilient, and she has proven that she can overcome obstacles.
42:47She is a natural-born leader.
42:49You deserved it.
42:50You did it.
42:51The state of Nevada should be very proud of their representative.
42:54So proud of you.
42:57Ellie is going to be invaluable as my next head chef here at Hell's Kitchen Foxwoods Resort Casino.
43:03I love it.
43:03I love it.
43:03Come here.
