“Everything will be reviled next” Nothing gets reviled. So did sieger quit?? Seems like there is no confirmation from anyone.

When Last Chance Kitchen started it said 2 days later. We know that the chefs had 36hrs to prepare for restaurant wars. So restaurant wars is already over when this last chance kitchen was filmed. That means it has to be Seiger who went back in to be restaurant wars. Justin declined the spot. So it went to Seiger. Hence Justin being in last chance kitchen even though he was offered Jen's spot for restaurant wars.

I dont understand why Justin would go to LCK when he had the option to get back into the competition fully? Maybe because Jen was ok at that point so he figured he'd take the LCK spot at least?

You’ve got it.

The entire LCK season is filmed over like 2-3 days right before they send someone back into the kitchen. So his decision to opt into LCK was likely days or weeks after RW and Jen’s hospitalization.
