MLA CEO Mike McGalliard delivers a shattering blow to Jamie and his 10 teenaged culinary students at West Adams Preparatory High School – they’ve been banned from serving food on campus. Heartbroken and defeated, Jamie makes an emotional plea to the kids’ parents and gives the students a graphic reality check about what is really in the foods they’re eating every day.

Meanwhile, in an attempt to soften the hard-line stance of Patra’s owner, Dino, against adding a few healthier options to his menu and renovating his kitchen, Jamie introduces him to Sophia, a 17-year-old West Adams student whose entire family has been plagued by Type II Diabetes. While Dino is sympathetic, it takes a desperate plea from a complete stranger to help him see beyond his bottom line.
