Episode Synopsis

The five remaining finalists are excited when Giada reveals they will cook their all-time favorite signature dish and present it to the camera, but surprise — there's a twist! It's not that easy. They have to add their least favorite ingredient, which was delivered by the family members of each finalist. After recovering from the emotional reunion of seeing their families, finalists are each assigned "an emotion" and must cook a dish and tell a story inspired by that emotion for special guests Eva Longoria and Todd English at their restaurant, Beso.
