When Hyun-wook opens his eyes to see the person he chose through the blind test, he is stunned to see Yoo-gyeong before him. Yoo-gyeong is overjoyed and asks Hyun-wook to repeat the words, You're hired. Later in the day, Hyun-wook calls Yoo-gyeong to the kitchen and gives her some tough training on how to cook Italian food. Yoo-gyeong isn't fazed as she endures his impatient instructions and even requests that he teach her in this same manner in their next session.
Hyun-wook tells his kitchen staff that he's not finished with culling the workforce. He then banishes foie gras and pickles from the menu offerings. Seok-ho and the younger chefs have a talk with Hyun-wook to protest the decision because it would probably lead to a drop in restaurant sales. However, Hyun-wook doesn't budge from his decision. Yoo-gyeong, who is in charge of procuring the pickles, is put in an awkward situation where she has to choose sides between Hyun-wook and Seok-ho. Mr. Seol, a food supplier to La Spera, asks Yoo-gyeong to stock his pickles in the refrigerator that is accessible from the restaurant hallway.
눈을 뜬 현욱은 유경의 얼굴을 보고 깜짝 놀라고, 감격한 유경은 자신의 출근을 다
시 한 번 말해달라고 재촉한다. 늦은 밤, 유경을 주방으로 부른 현욱은 유경에게 혹
독한 훈련을 시키고, 유경은 꿋꿋하게 지금처럼 하나하나 가르쳐 달라고 한다.
현욱은 주방 구조조정이 끝난 게 아니라며 푸아그라, 스푼, 피클의 해고를 명한다.
금석호 등 요리사들은 현욱을 찾아가 매출이 떨어질 거라며 항의하지만 현욱은 꿈쩍
도 않는다. 피클 담당인 유경은 현욱과 석호 사이에서 고민하고, 설대표는 유경에게
피클을 만들어 홀 냉장고에 넣어두라고 한다.
