He gets into the restaurant with his crew through the back door.

The kitchen is greasy with a leaking bad fridge and he finds a dead cockroach.

She was never taught what to do so she had to do the best with what she had.

Elise and Brittany are Anika’s sisters and help her out as co-owners.

When they show up, there is no proper direction from Anika.

They run around aimlessly not knowing what to do.

Server Erin says that Anika panics while working and is disruptive.

Gordon decides to order some food to his van through the ‘insider’.

Gordon watches Ethan and Martir cook and they are way too relaxed and laid back.

He sees them drop dirty plates into a bucket of water where they sit and fester.

The camera Gordon left behind caught mice and cockroaches moving around.

The food is finally brought to him as takeout.

The soup is hot but sour and has gone off.

The fish and chips are also bad.

Rock Harper, winner of season 2 of Hell’s Kitchen, is Gordon's spy.

He goes in and orders from the menu after almost getting caught with his spy camera.

The surf n turf is rubbery and costs $63 on the menu.

Gordon asks who is in charge and the sisters point at Anika but she points away nervously.

She tells him about how the dream was to work with her father but she was not prepared to do it alone.

The staff think she is not the best to manage the business.

Gordon turns it back to them, showing them the poor state of the kitchen and the dirty POS printer.

The cook says the soup is fresh but Gordon saw the soup in the fridge.

He calls them all lazy and uncaring.

The staff all have excuses and Gordon is upset about their lack of standards so he walks out and leaves.

This causes Anika to panic and her sister blames her and the staff for the state of the restaurant.

Anika in turn blames them and it turns into a large argument.

On the way, Gordon receives a text plea from the insider and he takes a moment to reconsider.

He goes back to the restaurant and the staff are more receptive to his words.

Gordon only wants to help them because of their father’s legacy.

He tasks all of them to start cleaning the kitchen.

Then he calls the cooks to give them a talk on cleanliness and safety in the kitchen and in the food they serve.

They are also receptive to him.

Gordon sits with Anika to tell her what she needs to be doing to take charge of the restaurant.

The next day, Gordon meets with the siblings.

In order to improve their teamwork, they are tasked to build a bench in front of the restaurant.

After a confusing start, they manage to work together.

Gordon helps the cooks with the last steps of the dishes they were making.

The new food is served to the staff, it is fresh, local and tasty.

The insider is revealed to be Anika’s two sisters.

They saw she was struggling and not giving proper guidance and that’s why they called on Gordon.

Gordon calls Anika to the side, and to help her be assertive, he will guide her through her meeting with her staff.

At the meeting, he gives her meeting points and makes her tell the cooks not to speak over her.

Her sisters are shocked at the assertiveness and they like it.

Once she gives them direction, they willingly accept and wish each other luck for the reopening.

Anika is reminded to have the servers make recommendations when giving out the menus.

After all the direction, Gordon stops so he can see how she handles it herself.

The kitchen is having problems keeping track of dishes because they are new.

Gordon has Hell’s Kitchen chef Sammi come in and be disruptive to see how Anika handles it.

Sammi is seated and states she wants a lot of food for pictures.

Anika assumes she is an influencer and the kitchen gets backed up with the large order.

There is a mini squabble with the sisters and Sammi is kept waiting.

Anika walks out to take some air.

Gordon gives her some words of support and she goes back in with a plan.

A sister helps in the kitchen, another triages the tickets.

Anika gives the kitchen positive feedback and gets food to Sammi with apologies.

Their mother Janice comes in and she loves the new look of the restaurant.

There is a rodent catcher in a bread warmer.

The three microwaves are all dirty, and a quick test reveals bacterial contamination.

They leave but carry the smell of the place with them into their cars.

In daylight, he can see that the dining room is drab and dank, with boring furnishings.

Owner Cheryl has been at the restaurant for 40 years, taking it over from her father at just 18.

She now owns the building and owes a lot on the mortgage.

Customers are no longer coming in and she is struggling.

The staff call her Mama and she is a motherly figure for them.

The cook Kenny has been there for over eight years.

He feels that the diner is the most unserious place to work.

Rachel is Cheryl’s daughter-in-law, and she reveals Cheryl feeds the staff for free.

She also feeds homeless people and anyone who needs help.

Gordon sees that the male staff in the kitchen are young and engage in a lot of horseplay.

Kenny explains he doesn’t understand why it is all on him as he does not have any authority.

Gordon reveals Cheryl is on the verge of bankruptcy.

They need to find a way to turn around out of all the loyalty they have for her.

Kenny feels embarrassed about the situation and he wants to step up.

The next day, Gordon has planned some team building for the staff.

They can mess around outside of work and not inside the diner.

Kenny and one of the junior cooks wear balloon gloves in a bouncy castle ring and they wrestle around having fun.

Gordon talks to Cheryl while the team is all distracted.

He tells her she needs to shed the "Mama" image as they were taking advantage of her.

He enters the restaurant with ease and uses a black light.

The place lights up everywhere due to the filth.

After a while, Gordon goes to sit with Larry and orders all the staff and cameras out.

Larry reveals that he and Mrs White are broke.

They are losing $2000 a week and he is too ashamed to tell his mother and daughter.

Larry admits Kianna is capable of carrying on their legacy.

Gordon tells him that at 75, he should let go and pass it on before it is too late to save the restaurant.

All the staff are given the task of using social media to bring in more customers.

They currently have a poor social media page with barely any posts.

Jay is put in charge of their social media as they will be having a food truck pop-up event.

While they are occupied with that, Gordon’s team will be upgrading the restaurant to the 21st century.

On the morning of the pop-up event, Gordon goes to visit with Mrs. White, who is excited to see him.

As the staff all sit to eat together, he is disparaging, which irks Jenny.

The next day, Gordon takes the couple for a hike.
