Back in the kitchen, Joseph is excited to taste the seaweed soup, cabbage roll, and perilla that he has prepared for the competition. He asks if he can step back and taste the other dishes as well. He says that the soup is good, but that there is not a main dish. He feels that the dishes were too ambitious, and that he is a candidate for the elimination. Joseph says that he wants to make sure that he can be a chef, but he is afraid that if he fails, he will cry and scream, but eventually he will rise again.
