Teams were tasked with a relay-style challenge; each member having 15 minutes of cooking time plus 45 seconds to transfer information. Billie (Red Team), Jacqui (Yellow), Jarrod (Blue) and Melita (Green), as the captains, chose the dish and started off the challenge. Jarrod chose a coconut mussel broth, Melita chose to cook lobster medallions with seafood broth, Billie chose stuffed chicken thigh with fennel and carrot puree and Jacqui decided to cook Mexican corn tacos. During three changeovers; the yellow team attempted to create a new element to replace the tacos when a core ingredient (corn masa flour) was not found in the given pantry. From the green team, Rose's choice to pour way too much wine in the bisque made it overly acidic which led to Kristina restarting the dish with a stronger base. In the blue team, John changed the entire dish by adding other ingredients for new elements (white chocolate veloute with scallop tartare) which only confused the other following team members in the cooking at the last two changeovers. The blue team were really struggling with Georgia tasked to complete the dish. With five minutes left, she salvage the tampered dish and plated up pan-fried prawns with scallop ceviche. Both the green and red teams were praised for their teamwork and excellent communication while the yellow team's flatbreads were undercooked but received winning praise on the prawns. Despite Georgia's efforts to single-handedly create her team's dish under extreme conditions, it wasn't enough as their miscommunication, cluttered decisions and undercooked prawns left the blue team in elimination.
