The challenge: Inside the array literal, add three object literals. In other words, the objects array should have three values. Each object should have 2 property/value pairs.

I got the first part of the challange: var objects=[];

Struggling with the second component

Should I have added a open curly brace after "Doe"?

Each object literal should be enclosed in it's own set of braces. The brackets that make the array should enclose all three objects.

Also be sure that you always use braces and brackets in matched pairs (open and close).
