Six self-taught baking teams arrive at the Crime Scene Kitchen to start their hunt for clues, leading them to the mystery dessert. The teams with the best crime-solving technique advance to the next week, and the duo with the poorest performance of the night heads home.

Six classically trained baking duos scour their kitchens for clues, leading to several victories and one disappointing elimination.

The final three teams of classically-trained and self-taught bakers vie for the grand prize in the finale. With no safety bake round, all teams must participate in the ultimate test – unraveling clues for two bakes. In their last bake, the finalists have five hours to closely master the final mystery dessert of the season. The team that performs the best across both rounds will be crowned Crime Scene Kitchen champions and take home $100,000.

The self-taught bakers are back in the kitchen to investigate a twist on an all-time favorite sweet treat during the safety bake round. Then, in the elimination round, the remaining bakers must figure out the correct dessert to make in order to avoid elimination.

Five classically trained baking teams return to the kitchen to solve two more culinary crimes, including an elimination bake with a seasonal dessert of Yolanda’s choosing. The team with the poorest performance is sent home after the elimination bake.
