In this episode of Below DeckCaptain Sandy not play. He seems to be getting rid of all the weak links, or in this case, the rude, rude, rude stew. In the ultimate power move, Captain Sandy called Under to the WITH bridge Ross as a witness. Alissa, “Yes, Sandy. I mean, Captain,” comments will come back to haunt him in a BIG way…
Captain Sandy means business. He fires a shocked Alissa, and Ross is there to help kick him off escort him from the boat. It didn’t seem like much of the crew was surprised to hear this news, and Alissa continued to claim that she “really didn’t do anything.” It doesn’t look good. Alissa believes she is the “scapegoat” for all of Captain Sandy’s anger, and she only shows emotion as she says goodbye with tears. Fraser.
Captain Sandy called an emergency meeting with the interior. He believes that by eliminating Alissa, things will go more smoothly. Fraser looks like he’s about to have a panic attack now that both crew are down, but is ready to show Captain Sandy that he can run a boat (and not just talk sh*t).
Fraser meets with Captain Sandy to try and reset it. Deep down, the Captain knows he can do a good job, but he also needs to show his crew members what he can’t do.
MUST Ben telephone Camilla let her know the latest tea: Alissa has been fired #justiceforCamille. Siiiiiiike. Ben explains that he still leads to Alissa, and they are planning a trip to the DR together. Because you know, this is a real long distance relationship to try and maintain.
When the crew prepares for charter number seven, the stakes are high, and the pressure is on. A gaggle full of queens entered the ship, dressed in pageant regalia. Looks like the crew is doing better. chef Rachel understand that dietary restrictions come from this group that requires full attention, and we all know that he has had a rough season, so he better bring his A-game.
They head out immediately three carts full of luggage get loaded on board, and the game begins. The only male guest, John, waltzes in with a banana hammock in it, and everyone can’t help but stare. As always, Rachel is behind schedule in the kitchen, but that may have something to do with a guest named LaQuisha who asked for a turkey sandwich (which, btw, she didn’t touch, and yes, I’m keeping score).
Proof that money doesn’t buy class, these guests are getting hungrier and louder. Rachel ended up serving up some delicious food, and luckily, the guests were dismissed for a water play after lunch.
Over the crew eating, Ben asked Katie what was her plan with Ross after they got off the boat. Thankfully, Katie knew there was no chance of keeping her sex addiction at bay. I guess only time will tell…
As the queens dined, they talked about their personal lives while trying to balance the literal crown. We know that John is married to a woman not long ago and that his wife is having an affair with his boss. John points out that he knows his daughter isn’t his biological daughter (thanks, boss!). But the moment in his life led him to where he is now: Papa John – on a cruise ship, preparing to surprise his female friends with a drag show … ” (MUST be you, Ross).
We learned that TylerNewest stew, went to a private Methodist high school, and watched John guest so proud to be himself has given Tyler guts to come out to his parents.
The night wrapped up, and LaQuisha began to push Fraser’s button. He asked for a Sprite and a wrapped turkey sandwich to take to his room (late night snack?). It was a total flex move, and Fraser knew he didn’t want this food right now. No reason to bring sammy to bed, but who am I to judge? And it turns out LaQuisha can’t sleep in her private room either. WTF. Instead, he came parading into the salon demanding sheets, warm milk, and a back rub. Just kidding… about some stuff.
The next day, the wind was a big factor in the day’s plans. That’s how LaQuisha behaved. He reminds Fraser that he would love a 24 karat gold steak (WHY), but Chef Rachel clears his request and they can have breakfast. Fraser emphasized the weather and the guest selection sheet. Because of the forecast, Fraser came up with the only option for guests. They will remain ON BOARD and host the Olympic games, with the deck crew participating in the event. They even came up with clever team names, like “Team Two in the Pink (OMG),” because their uniforms are pink speedos.
The interior looked a little lighter after Alissa came out, and even Fraser admitted that he had Captain Sandy to thank for making the difficult decision. But they don’t know that Captain Sandy is getting a new boil on board… sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.
As the day wore on, the usual problems arose. LaQuisha is “again,” according to Fraser (just give her a turkey sandwich…), and the interior does its best to clean up the guest room while they’re busy eating. As Hayley and Tyler joke about the chaos of the room, one of the guests walks in. Discarded. Awkward. Sweat. Shame Secondhand. All of the above. I hope the guests don’t hear it, otherwise Hayley is next to the chopping block.
In other (more important) news, Captain Lee have something important to share with Captain Sandy. HE’S COMING BACK! Captain Lee’s doctor cleared him, and he returned to the boat. According to Captain Sandy, Captain Lee will return to a slimmed-down crew that runs more smoothly than the way he left before. Only time will tell if he agrees with…
