The contestants are surprised when they enter the MasterChef kitchen to find it transformed into a romantic setting complete with rose petals and candles. They soon learn that they will be cooking for married couples celebrating their anniversary.

The first challenge of the episode is a mystery box challenge. The mystery boxes contain ingredients commonly associated with romance such as chocolate, strawberries, and Champagne. The young chefs must use at least one of these ingredients to create a romantic dish for the anniversary couples. Some of the kids struggle with the challenge, trying to find the right balance of sweet and savory flavors.

As the teams cook, tensions rise. Some of the kids struggle to work together and clash over ideas. Others become frustrated when their dishes don't turn out as they had hoped. The judges, Gordon Ramsay, Christina Tosi, and Joe Bastianich, keep a close eye on each team, critiquing their dishes as they prepare them.

When it's time for the couples to taste the dishes, the pressure is on. The chefs listen nervously as the couples give their feedback on the dishes. Some are blown away by the flavor and presentation of the food, while others are less impressed. The judges ask the couples to reveal their favorite dishes and the teams with the most votes move on to the next round.

The episode ends with a nail-biting elimination. The losing team must face the dreaded pressure test, where they must create a dish using a type of seafood that can be challenging to cook. The young chefs are under even more pressure as they must impress the judges in order to avoid being sent home.
