Skinner attempted to sabotage Linguini's efforts by capturing Remy, whom he discovered was the real chef. The kitchen fell into chaos as Linguini had no idea of how Remy cooked his dishes. Remy escaped and rushed to help Linguini,

Fortunately, Remy's clan of rats arrived to help him serve the customers, as did Colette, Linguini's girlfriend and the kitchen's only female cook. Together, the team cooked up a dish of ratatouille, which, despite being a "peasant dish", turned out to be delicious thanks to Remy's efforts.
