History Recap / KitchenNightmaresS5E1Blackberrys

* DownerEnding: The restaurant saw a very promising remodeling and relaunch, despite Gordon nearly leaving after being falsely accused of planting a dead mouse. That is until Shelly receives a phone call from her father during service and focuses on that above all else, then promptly phases out and loses interest in doing anything afterwards. Regardless of the relaunch being overall successful despite this, she declines to join the staff meeting the next day and bluntly refuses to meet with Gordon. In spite of the episode's ending describing that Shelly eventually came to embrace the changes and successful results in the next few weeks, the restaurant closed down not long after.

* BlatantLies: In his second entrance to the restaurant, Ramsay discovers a mouse by the door. He asks James if an exterminator was ever hired, to which James claims they hire one once a month and he had been there last week (and then says behind Ramsay's back that it reminds him of a rat they found under a table a few months back). James later accuses Ramsay of ''planting the dead mouse'' [[{{Kayfabe}} for the sake of generating hits for the show]]. Ramsay gets greatly offended, and when he sees that Shelly believes the lie (due to James having whispered it to her), he lets everyone know that they can take the restaurant and shove it because he's not going to be accused of pulling a stunt for TV. After some drama happens with Shelly, James apologizes to Ramsay.
