Host Tituss Burgess asks the six remaining chefs to team up and create a steak feast for VIP guest Poppy O'Toole. While one team doesn't have any steak, the other lacks Poppy's favorite ingredient: potatoes. With limited ingredients on hand, the chefs must lean on their creativity and hope to inherit the best produce, protein and pantry items from a dearly departed colleague. As the competition heats up, the chefs carefully decide how to handle both their ingredients and their competition. One wrong move is all it takes to find yourself in Room 13.

Host Tituss Burgess asks the remaining five chefs to create a stunning noodle dish for VIP guest and Iron Chef Michael Symon, using an ingredient bequeathed to them by a recently eliminated chef along with their own dwindling ingredients. The winning chef will inherit the rest of the bequeathed trunk, but the bottom two competitors will face off in a sudden-death cooking round highlighting the humble pickled egg. The losing chef will be forced into the mysterious Room 13, never to be seen again.

Host Tituss Burgess welcomes VIP guests Esther Choi and Judy Joo, who request something spicy for dinner from the remaining four chefs. After their impressive fiery dishes, the competitors are asked to use even more of their precious resources to make something icy cool to soothe their guests' burning mouths, but it's worth it in order to stay in the game and stay out of Room 13.
