In this episode, seven more amateurs try to prove to judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace that they have the potential to be the 2018 MasterChef champion.

This time, the featured ingredients in the MasterChef Market include poussin, beef cheeks, pork mince, mackerel and tiger prawns. They have an hour and 10 minutes to dazzle the judges and prove they are good enough to stay in the competition. The stakes are high and it's important to choose wisely because after tasting all seven dishes, John and Gregg will decide which four cooks are good enough to stay, while three cooks will be sent straight home. The four remaining cooks now have one more challenge standing between them and a quarter-final place. They must cook a menu that will excite not just John and Gregg, but also some very special guests.

In this second heat, the contestants must attempt to impress the MasterChef champions Shelina Permmalloo (2012) and Peter Bayless (2008), and finalist Dean Edwards (2008). After the four hopefuls have cooked, John and Gregg will decide who has what it takes to go through to Friday's quarter-final.
