The women are enduring their punishment by being in the kitchen learing how to prepare scallops. Please note that Lacey is in bed and not participating because she is upset about the experience. Seth acknowledges that he knows that Chef Ramsay’s birthday is tomorrow and knows all about his entire life. Very CREEPY.
