During the penultimate episode, the trio took charge of a challenging dessert challenge consisting of 113 stages.
Reynold, who had one of the favorites to win the series after gaining immunity twice beyond the fortnight, hesitated over the final obstacle as he sought to recreate the Apple Toffee dessert, the signing of the three-hat trial over Martin Benn.

All participants had 3 hours and forty-five minutes to complete the complex dish, which included another 10 components.
During the preparations, Reynold let go after leaving his leaf decorations in the oven for too long and nearly burned his candy, insisting that he was surprised with his paintings by introducing him to the 4 judges.
Unfortunately, everyone agreed that their candy was too sweet, while Emelia and Laura were considered almost the best in terms of flavor, meaning Reynold was sent home.
