Jun 1, 2022 at 11:50 comment added FreeMan @Tetsujin it's possible that the range hood is direct wired. It's also possible that it's a replacement since the original construction that included a plug-in range hood. Thus the outlet (which needs a cover plate!) for the original hood and the "aftermarket" BX through the cabinet for the hard-wired replacement hood that runs through the cabinet instead of through the wall.
