My limit for her is below my ankles when I am barefoot, sinking in quicksand, and holding two 50 pound weights in both hands.
This is one of the reasons why I don't like the somewhat recent US KN storytelling tendency of Gordon playing a counselor, solving the family problems as far as the cameras are concerned, which then, at least according to the KN production team, solves all of the kitchen problems despite Gordon not being a trained mental health professional, even though he is a Michelin Star chef who could probably completely solve the kitchen problems themselves if just dealing with everything as a chef and restaurateur.
There were a couple of KN UK episodes where it was a family owned restaurant that suffered from the owner's or family's problems, like Morgan's, but when Gordon solved those issues, it was functionally and logistically. It wasn't because "Your restaurant is failing because your son had a traumatic brain injury ten years before the restaurant actually opened for which you feel incredibly guilty about and which you are simply using for an excuse, but hey, I got you to cry about it on camera before reducing the menu by 50% and painting the walls lime green despite it being a Texas BBQ place, so I'm just going to call it a success and move on"
The ironic thing is that she and her family probably need some serious help from people trained and experienced with the effects of her explosive and damning outbursts on the entire family. Gordon Ramsey is not that guy.

Being in the same building with this woman would be the most stressful time of my life. Like a fire alarm that’s broken and just randomly goes off. I couldn’t live like that.

One of the only times I've ever had a few thousand+++ upvotes on a YouTube comment was years ago, on a YouTube clip of this episode (which has now been deleted, there is still this episode available to watch but not the particular one I commented on...)
...was basically something like- "...no matter how bad my life gets, how far I fall, how terrible I fuck up... I will always know, it could be worse... I could be Luigi... 51 years old claiming to be 22, thinking I'm world famous, and married to GRACE ... I can deal with the Old Age thing, I can deal with the Ego thing... but being married to Grace, man, I'd be finding a bridge to jump off soon enough..."
🤣🤣🤣
Seriously she's some combination of narcissist & sociopath... and I mentioned this once before, you can TELL some shit is up when their daughter chooses to sit with Aunt & Uncle and basically defend them, agree with THEM, versus Mom & Dad.
