Previously, on "Below Deck Med"...
-Hi, Captain Sandy. -Hi!
Welcome back.
Jennifer and Patrick hope the crew can transform the boat
into their own Oktoberfest celebration.
-Yes! -Yeah!
There's our costumes.
What I'd like to do when we get to dinner,
drop the German flair and just make a ----ing awesome dinner.
So, my schnitzel and chill is gone.
Okay, I...
You're a ----ing bosun, stand the down!
-I will you up. -Go to bed!
I'm just gonna ask you to give her another chance.
Invest in her, and if it doesn't work for you,
I will let her go.
This trip I'm gonna have you on breakfasts,
and you're on lates.
I don't want Katie to, like, give Courtney more second stew
duties just because she doesn't like me.
I'm not gonna punish Courtney by taking her off service
to keep Lexi happy, because this is how it works...
we rotate.
Let's do this.
It looks like you're at a silent disco.
I feel comfortable about being 100 percent myself on this boat.
You're definitely out of booze, so that's a problem.
I don't like that noise.
We're missing plates.
Can we get some plates?
Are they not on the table?
Negative, there's nothing there.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh, I wasn't done.
When I was trying to finish, I was doing juicing,
I was doing, like, 20 different things,
so I didn't finish it.
I forgot to put the plates and cutlery down, so that sucks.
Lexi was starting our room earlier,
when I went to change into my suit this morning...
-Okay. -And she never came back.
I can't be having my second stewardess
failing at the most simplest task.
How is it?
I will take responsibility and I will take the brunt of it.
-Just don't give up. -We'll get there.
I have to rely on Katie to be able to navigate her stews.
Now, if she can't, then that's when I have to step in.
This dock is crazy.
Hey.
I'll have a Corona with lime.
-That's easy. -Yeah, sure.
That'd be great, thanks.
Also, Lexi was starting our room earlier,
when I went to change into my suit this morning...
-Okay. -And she never came back.
Okay.
So it's, like, the cleaners and everything
are still in there, and there's no towels.
There isn't? Okay, no worries.
-Yeah. I'll send her in. -Okay, thanks.
Go ahead.
Can you just check that there's towels in the twin cabin?
All right, I'll check and see.
Thank you.
[bleep]'s sakes.
-Diane. -Yeah?
-How's the water? -It's nice.
It's really nice.
All crew, all crew, lunch is ready.
Let's get all this sh-- put away, and then...
Breakfast go good?
They loved it, so that's a great...
that's the start I wanted.
That gives me more confidence.
I thought yesterday was the best day ever,
but it's actually today.
This is my first charter where I didn't leave the boat or quit.
I feel like I'm finally getting my footing.
Oh, this quiche is good.
What?
It's my mom's birthday.
Holy sh--.
Don't even know what date it is.
I've gone through this whole day being so consumed
about the charter guests and Lexi not pulling her weight
that I nearly forgot my own mother's birthday.
I'm, like, nearly 30 years old,
and she'll call me her sugarplum fairy.
When I do go home, she'll always be like,
"This is your birthday present
and this is your Christmas present,"
because I'm born on Christmas day.
But she still tries to separate it because
she ----ed up and got pregnant,
and then I was born on Christmas day.
So, maybe she still feels bad about that, I don't know.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Thanks so much.
If you bring that bucket of champagne
in to Maureen for those ladies, they'll love it.
Anyone wanna try anything else... hydrofoil?
We could do it on the sundeck.
That's what I was thinking.
We've got pretzel things.
Cute.
We'll set up, like, the snacks on the table.
Yeah.
So, I would cruise around and get used to the throttle first.
There you go, yes.
Is this empty? Yes, it is.
So, what are we supposed to be doing after this?
Well, we're gonna get suited up...
-Lederhosen and... -Right.
Oktoberfest.
Have you ever been?
Yes, I backpacked through Germany
and we started at Oktoberfest to kick it off, yeah.
-There you go. -It was epic.
I honestly blacked out, so I don't really
remember the whole night, but huge beers,
like, big pretzels, everyone's screaming or puking,
like, falling asleep in the street...
it was epic.
-So, you know. -Yeah.
Hey, those are fun.
Where are the girls?
So, that one...
So, we've got these, and then...
-Very nice. -Yeah.
Are you going to the room?
Yeah, I'm gonna take a shower really quick...
Okay.
And then I'll meet you guys back out here.
They want all of us to join in for Oktoberfest.
Yeah, I'll join in from 10:00 till...
Sober Oktoberfest.
I'm trying to think... maybe like a Corona.
Yeah, of course.
Can I get something for you also?
-Yeah, of course. -Can I get a Tito's and tea?
-Yeah. -Mimosas?
Will you please get a couple of Coronas to the swim platform?
And can we add two glasses of champagne
to that drinks order as well, please?
Sure.
Z, be gentle.
I thought that was your lady?
We can call her Courtney if you want.
I don't like these people anymore,
because they just keep asking me for sh--.
Just remember, we're never gonna see these people again.
No, I know, but I think, like, I just hate when you feel
like you've failed at your job.
I know, and I...
That's exactly how I feel today.
Honestly, I completely get it.
It's hard, because it falls on me, you know?
Yeah, for sure.
I'm doing my job.
Yeah, it makes you feel like sh--.
-Oh! -Oh, my God, sorry!
Oh sh--.
Coming up, a sneak peek at what's ahead this season.
Do I wanna spend an extra five minutes,
and the fish getting cold and overcooked?
I'm not that guy.
I'm, um, backup chef for you guys.
Oh!
Oh, my God, sorry!
Oh, okay, yeah.
Okay, that's ----ed.
-Champagne? -Mm-hmm, thank you.
You're welcome.
Malia, Mzi. Shall I deflate the slide?
-Yeah, good initiative. -Copy that.
When I was down there to shower,
there were no towels, so then I didn't have a robe
-so I came out in your room. -Mm-hmm.
Lexi walked in when I was naked...
-Yeah? -And then walked back out.
So, hopefully we'll have towels.
Okay, German food.
There will be a little Oktoberfest.
We're gonna do brats and pretzels,
and then a fancy dinner... lamb on a puree.
Dessert is crème brûlée.
Mm, how did you get so good at everything?
I worked for this really rich, powerful man,
and he had a team of chefs in his corporate kitchen,
and I learned a lot from those guys.
Were they from all over the world?
Yeah.
From a young age, I hated school,
and the vice principal said to me,
"Maybe it's best if you just drop out."
That's when my mom said, "You know, as long as
you make the world your classroom."
So, I dropped out of school when I was 16,
studied in Mexico learning traditional Mexican cooking.
I took pastry courses in France.
I went to Thailand
and studied with the top chef there for a month.
I took courses in Vietnam,
and I really just pursued my craft my own way.
You're giving me a big ego now.
You deserve it.
Lloyd, the guests wanna do this Oktoberfest thing, right?
But I feel like we need someone to, like, hype it,
and I think you would be the perfect person for that.
Oh!
This is awesome.
I get to use some of my skills of guiding people
around Europe and showing them a great time.
I've been to Oktoberfest twice.
I know exactly the party they want.
Get some chants going.
Just being your normal self.
It's what you're born to do.
All right, let's go.
Katie, do you take breaks?
Like, why are we... we only see you.
Sometimes.
Not sometimes, I just said we only see you.
She's like, "I work my ass off."
I wanna look after my girls.
-You deserve a break. -Good Lord.
-It's, like... -Thank you.
I'm... I'm honestly fine.
Okay.
Sometimes it's just better to power on through,
because if you stop then you're like, mm.
So, it kinda works.
I'll have some more champagne when you get a sec.
-Yeah, of course. -And a Tito's and tea for me.
Sure.
I don't know if Lloyd mentioned it.
When this charter's over...
Okay.
If you really hate something,
you tend to, like, I guess not give it your all.
Let's get this stuff packed away,
and then once they're ready, we'll see...
We're gonna get suited up.
-All right. -Lederhosen and beerfesting.
Heh.
What time is the Oktoberfest?
Maybe like an hour?
Courtney is setting up upstairs.
Mm, meh.
All right, sweet, guys. Let's close this transom.
I don't know if it's too tall or not,
NautiBuoy presents.
Too bad it's not NautiGirl.
-Just kidding. -Girl!
I'm sorry for being grumpy.
You're not grumpy, you're ----ing amazing.
Don't worry, every trip's gonna be hard.
All crew, can everyone be ready in their outfits
for a quarter past 5:00?
Okay, copy.
I'm headed down, and then yeah, you're good to change.
Cute!
Oh, God, it's so see-through I have to wear hot pants under it.
Oh, my gosh, I love it.
I don't know any German words... danke.
Sheisse... yeah, sheissen.
Sheissen... sheissen
-Sh--. -Yeah.
Ooh, is that sauerkraut?
Yep...
Damn, girl.
All right...
I'm waiting for someone to sauer my kraut.
That doesn't even sound appealing.
Courtney's gonna be so sexy.
Katie, can I get a dirty vodka martini?
Sure, sorry about your room this morning as well.
Oh, no, it's okay, don't worry.
And you guys have towels and everything now, right?
-Yes, yes. -Lexi went in just before.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Oh, goodness gracious.
It feels great to be a real boy.
Goodness gracious me.
-Hello! -Yes!
-Hi! -You look so cute!
Oh, danke schoen.
I look like an elf.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much, appreciate it.
Do you guys wanna run this up?
It looks so good.
Should I put this on?
You guys look adorable, oh, my God, I love it.
You having fun?
Not not having fun, I'm just not having fun-fun.
Hey, how's it going with Lexi?
Ugh, not good.
It's in the wrong way. Who did this cabin?
Lexi.
-Can we get some plates? -Are they not on the table?
Negative, there's nothing there.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Lexi was starting our room earlier,
when I went to change into my suit this morning...
-Okay. -And she never came back.
I can't be in a million places at once, you know?
I'm trying, and it's failing me.
Need some help in the interior?
Is that a possibility?
Like, I got this girl in quarantine,
we have an extra bed.
I mean...
Because you know, the deck team are getting
their 12 hours of rest, I'm just saying.
That's not happening on my team.
-Can I think about it? -Sure.
Coming up...
Anyone order a beer?
Yes!
Woo!
because when the first thing happened with the chef,
I got backup.
She's already getting paid.
She's just sitting in a hotel when we could put her to work,
and we have an extra bunk.
And it helps you, because you know,
the deck team are getting their 12 hours of rest.
That's not happening on my team.
Wanna bring her on?
-Can I think about it? -Absolutely.
I mean, let me run it past the girls
to get their thoughts on it.
-Sure. -I appreciate that.
I don't know how I feel about this.
I will talk to you soon, Captain Sandy.
Okay.
Lexi is not really pulling her weight,
so we can use the extra hands for sure.
But I don't want to say anything to her to hurt her,
because from what I've seen,
I don't think Lexi deals with things in a good way.
I don't want her to rebel.
I just want us to get through this charter,
which is proving to be the hardest charter we've been on
so far because of all this sh--.
It's just... I feel like it's gonna be a messy road.
-Hello?
Hi.
Hi, do you wanna jump into the master?
Thank you.
It's my time to shine.
Well, have a nice evening.
-Do you wanna head upstairs? -Yeah.
-All right. -Cool, let's go.
Oh, yeah!
Woo!
Look honey, he's got the white sausage.
That's my favorite!
-Woo! -Yeah!
Yes, Mzi!
Did anyone order a beer?
-Oh, yeah! -Yay!
Hey!
It's so much more fun.
Can you, like, surprise me with a yummy vodka cocktail?
Of course.
Oh, my God, it's so good up there, they love it.
I have to surprise her with a yummy vodka cocktail.
Quick, make her a cosmopolitan.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
-Do you know how to make one? -No.
Yeah.
Triple sec, cranberry juice, vodka, lime,
and just shake it and serve it in a martini glass.
Does anyone else need a beer?
I love it.
-Cheers, bitches! -Oh!
Thank you, you are the best.
How's it going?
Yeah, good, good.
All the decorations have stayed, which is plus.
Okay, but then I have to come back down.
-I didn't get an outfit. -What?
Oh, Captain Sandy!
I love your outfits!
-Woo! -Captain, my captain!
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, but we... she wants you up there for a bit.
It's fun. Honestly, go, it's nice.
I wanna be a part of the festivities,
but it's an unfair tradeoff.
I did all the cabins' laundry,
and then if I go up there for Oktoberfest,
now I'm stuck cleaning up after you guys,
after you've had fun with the guests.
I'd rather be in cabins, finish it off.
Thank you.
-Hey! -Yes!
Look at you!
-Oh, my God. -Loving it?
Yes.
I'm definitely at a point where I would prefer
a steady and healthy relationship,
and obviously with Malia, it's not gonna happen.
And it's fine, like, I can live with that,
but the realization that I am just spooning a pillow,
just feeling sorry for myself
because it's not a human being,
it is what it is, isn't it?
I will see you in a few hours.
-All righty. -Somebody hold my beer.
We need more people!
Oh, my God.
...but she said no.
Okay.
Everyone's having fun upstairs, and she's isolating herself.
I don't want her to feel isolated.
Like, what else can I do? I'm trying.
-Drink! -Hey!
Woo!
-Oh, my God! -Oh!
Attaboy, Mzi! That's my boy!
I do have some experience in the beer-drinking department.
We used to host an annual beer Olympics
at the digs that I used to live at in Cape Town.
I feel like I'm quite shy and reserved,
and alcohol can definitely change that up a little bit.
My friends at home would be extremely disappointed
in me right now.
Yeah.
How are you feeling after everything that's happened?
I'm feeling better.
I'm just, like, taking my time, you know?
You're very quiet, so I just wanna make sure...
-Oh, yeah, I feel good. -That you're still...
-I'm good, I'm getting back. -Okay.
Tomorrow, breakfast will be set first thing.
Yeah, it just can't happen again.
There's one other thing.
We had another girl that quarantined.
Uh-huh?
Basically she's just sitting there doing nothing.
Okay.
I'm feeling very anxious about bringing in another person.
Okay. What's her position?
I don't know her experience, but I just want you to know
this is not me trying to replace you...
-Okay. -After everything.
Because I know how it can seem...
-Right. -And how it can look.
And I genuinely mean it, Lexi, like,
please believe me when I say that.
-Okay. No, I understand. -We do have an extra bunk.
We have an extra bed?
In the boys' cabin.
They've got three beds.
Well, I appreciate it. I'm not offended at all.
Okay, I just...
I think it will help us,
but I am concerned about the dynamic.
All righty.
-Okay. -All righty.
-Thank you. -No problem.
-I'm gonna finish putting up... -Yeah, yeah.
Crew stuff.
Oh ----ing Chad.
-Yes! -Woo!
I have the best deck crew.
They're dancing around,
just making absolute fools of themselves.
Woo!
There's no egos here, there's no cockiness.
Willkommen zum Oktoberfest!
Best night ever.
Lloyd!
Apparently we had a girl on standby,
so, that's quarantined, so because she's sitting
in quarantine doing nothing, I think we can use the help.
What's she's coming as?
I mean, I don't know, but I wanna keep her,
like, more down.
I'm not going down to fourth.
You're not, no, no.
Well, that's another thing, is cabin arrangements.
No, I don't know.
Obviously we need the help, but we need the help
because Lexi isn't doing her job.
So, really, she should just be coming on to replace Lexi.
This is ----ing annoying.
Coming up...
Being business owners, I just figure, like,
you would want to know experiences that we had.
We felt like there was a little lack of attention.
We had a girl on standby.
I think we can use the help.
What is she coming on as?
I mean, I don't know, but I wanna keep her, like,
more down.
Well, that's another thing, is cabin arrangements.
You guys missed the dance-off.
Oh, what's going on?
We got a girl in quarantine, and the boat's paying for her,
so she might come on for next trip, I don't know.
I think maybe it's time to go to dinner.
Do you know what time we're having dinner?
We're actually eating dinner.
I will double-check for you now.
-Should we do beer? -Sleeping arrangements?
David goes in with the boys, and then someone goes in with Mat.
Someone goes in with Mat.
Lexi should have to go with Mat.
Just kidding... don't do that.
No, they do not...
I'm just joking, don't do that.
We'll be back to three stews and no chef.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Katie, what time are they eating dinner?
Well, apparently 9:00ish, but I don't know, are they hungry?
They would like to know.
He's not gonna be...
Galley.
How long do you need for dinner?
-Twenty minutes. -Okay.
You want me to go in 20,
or are you gonna call me when the guests--
No, they were just asking so I'm just making sure.
-Katie, I love you. -Bye.
You guys are hungry?
We're ready whenever you guys are.
So, Cheffy needs 20 minutes.
If he's good at, like, 8:35?
8:35 is good for everybody?
-Yeah. -Perfect.
I will say this... smells like God is cooking.
-Galley. -Hello, Galley.
-What up, baby? -Be ready for 8:35?
-Cool, bye. -Bye.
The plans are always changing.
You just gotta roll with it.
When we get to dinner, have it be, like, a real badass dinner.
Okay.
-Instead of German food. -Yes!
It's a huge compliment when someone loves your food
so much that they want you to keep doing your thing.
When people give me that feedback,
I really wanna crush it.
Potato gratin, Matatouille, and rack of lamb persillade.
Mzi, if you want to, you can go down now.
-Ooh! -Thank you.
Ooh, lamb lollipops.
So, for your main course tonight
you have a potato gratin with ratatouille
and a New Zealand rack of lamb.
Ooh, thank you.
Looks amazing.
I think that's how you have to eat it, it's a lollipop.
Oh, my God.
You're supposed to hold the bone.
This is so good.
Thanks.
If you wanna get some extra sleep, you can.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Are those scalloped potatoes?
That's crazy good.
-All right, bye. -Bye.
Great, okay, wait till you see my tattoo.
-Oh, God. -What... I know!
She just scared herself.
Apparently we had sex in our bathroom that night.
Oh!
That might be a win for the boys.
-Ah! -Oh.
-Can I start brûléeing? -You may.
You're coming up with the last two.
Why? Do I make them horny?
You do.
You know we might be getting a fourth stew, right?
Yeah?
-She might be your cabin mate. yeah.
Oh, great ----ing timing!
-Yes, sir! -My man! Woo!
That's vanilla crème brûlée.
We all wanna take you home.
I'm ready to go.
Mat, you've been spot-on.
-Okay. -Thank you very much.
This is the best crème brûlée I've ever had.
-Yes. -Oh, awesome.
-Crème brûlée is my favorite. -Ooh!
Oh, my gosh.
-Is it good? -Yeah.
Oh... huh, "is it good."
What's going down?
I don't wanna go to bed.
We'll sleep when we're dead.
-All right. Let's go. -Perfect.
This is a lot of stairs.
I'm not gonna lie, babe, I'm not gonna last too much longer.
Okay, good night.
-You good? -Yeah.
-Cool. -Thank you.
Thanks, chica.
Good morning.
Morning.
How was your night?
Yeah, good.
Oh, my God.
Hey, Lloyd, we're gonna need the fenders,
because I'm gonna get ready to go into the marina.
We're gonna need everybody.
We're gonna need all hands on deck.
We have to haul anchor and head right back to the dock.
Wind's picking up already, huh?
Oh, hell, yeah.
I had the guys prep everything last night, so we're ready.
-Oh. -On top of it.
Captain Sandy, good morning, we are hauling.
-Anchor in the pocket. -Thank you.
What height do you want the fenders?
Just at the red rail.
Red rail, yeah.
Please just double-check all your heaving lines.
that's hot, Jesus.
All right, we can throw fenders over.
Laundry, great.
Okay, all clear to start swinging.
Hundred feet to dolphin.
Holy sh--.
Dang.
The current's wicked.
----ing currents.
Incredible.
Port dolphin approaching midships.
Dave, hurry?
All port lines running now.
Okay, Captain Sandy, we have 25 feet to the dock.
Oops.
We have tension in port dolphin.
Okay, lock it off there.
-Nice work, everyone. -Yah.
That was not easy.
-Nice docking. -Thank you.
It's getting easier, isn't it?
-Yeah, it is. -Killing it.
I guess.
So, two more minutes.
Is this empty?
Hello?
Do you want anything?
-Well, since you're doing it... -Yeah?
Here we go, wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
Can I get you anything else?
I'm good for the moment.
-Hello. -Hi.
No guests are up.
There's so much pulp. Look at that...
it's, like, not moving.
It's like a lava lamp.
I know, right?
Good morning, sunshine.
Oh, good morning, everybody.
Don't be mad at me, but I made my own drink.
That's fine.
Sorry, I couldn't find you.
Joke's on me, because I got the very pulpy OJ, so...
There you go, you should have waited.
I should have.
Or yelled louder.
One thing after another at this point.
It's obviously clear to the guests
that we're failing in our job.
Would anyone like a coffee?
You have my tea-maker back there, right?
Yes, we do, yes.
I go upstairs, and the primary's pouring his own drink...
super ----ing unacceptable.
Because you were downstairs when you should have been upstairs,
yet you told me that there were no guests upstairs,
and that's why you were downstairs.
-Yeah. -Thank you.
You're welcome.
Would anyone else like a coffee?
No.
-How you doing? -Good, how are you?
-Galley.
All right, thank you.
Okay, I'm gonna finish this scone I was nibbling on.
Oh, something smells so good in there.
It's my swagger.
Are you doing lobster bennie?
Yeah, two ways.
That looks phenomenal.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Did you guys have fun last night?
-Yeah. -We had a lot of fun.
From what we remember.
Yeah, the crew was awesome.
How was the chef? Like, how was his food?
-Oh, my gosh. Unreal. -Oh, my God.
I know why he's smiling all the time.
-He's incredible. -Yeah.
If I was that good of a chef, I'd smile all the time, too.
-There wasn't one bad thing. -He has one meal left.
I wonder if he can blow it with eggs?
Just say "corner" when you're walking up the stairs,
to make sure no one hits you and drops that, all right?
-Yeah. -Corner.
Is this the lobster Benedict?
Thank you.
Lobster Benedict.
-Ooh! -Oh, wow.
-Oh, my gosh. -Yeah, that'll do.
-That's a go. -Yeah.
Appreciate it.
Corner!
And we have a ham Benedict as well.
-Mathew? -Yes?
They were singing your praise.
Were they? That's good.
I guess I can't say I don't like eggs Benedict anymore.
Should I butter the toast, or do you have it on the table?
-It's on the table. -Of course it is, Katie.
Perfection's her charm.
-Are we doing a shot, or what? -Yeah, ready?
-Cheers to a good week. -Cheers!
-Yes, cheers. -And friends.
I feel like I gotta go pack.
Has everyone else already started?
Yeah, I think I'm gonna head down.
Lexi, Lexi, Katie.
Do you wanna come help me clear breakfast?
Copy.
Ugh! It's so heavy.
Vacation over.
They already finished eating everything.
All crew, all crew, please get into your whites
and let's meet on the dock in five minutes.
Lloyd, let's do this.
Get in there, Mzi.
Just four Chads, hanging out.
Hey, you.
Come on, come on, boy.
On the line.
I meant to say "on the wall."
Thank you.
Oh, wait... reposition.
Wait, I gotta be able to, like...
Can I hug you?
Yeah, of course you can.
-So fun. -Lovely to meet you too.
Aw, thank you.
Bye! Thank you.
I'm so glad you guys could party with us.
-Thanks for everything. -You're welcome.
-Appreciate it. -Thanks for chartering.
Yes, thanks again for an amazing trip.
This was our second time doing something like this
with you, Sandy, and it turned out great.
But being business owners,
I just figured, like, you would want to know experiences
that we had that we think we could maybe improve on a little.
We felt like there was a little lack of attention for us.
I actually had to make my own drink this morning.
They're not wrong. There were ups.
I'm livid right now.
I felt like there was a little lack of attention.
I actually had to make my own drink this morning.
I don't wanna be negative...
Oh, no, you're... honestly, thank you.
Your saving grace is right there.
Mat's food was ridiculous.
We're gonna kidnap him.
It was amazing.
Deck crew, you guys are badass. You took care of us.
There were just those moments where it felt
like I couldn't find anybody.
Thanks for the feedback.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-Yeah. -Here's for the best part.
Awesome, awesome.
There you go.
Ugh, it's so heavy... thank you.
-Thank you, guys. -Thank you.
Bye.
Let's get out of our whites, into our reds,
and meet in the main salon for our tip meeting.
-Woo! -Cool.
-Nice job. -Thank you.
No, you know what...
Katie, what did he mean that he had no one to mix him a drink?
This morning when I came up, they were all up.
Oh.
To be pinpointed out of the whole crew
that your department is failing,
and it really comes down to one person.
If one of my stews up, it comes to me.
Oh, my God.
Captain Sandy's gonna think I'm a ----ing idiot
if I don't accept the extra help.
I feel like my hands are tied.
Shall we talk a second?
Okay... uh-oh.
Um, my gut's telling me no, but she's here.
We've been paying her, I can use the help.
I don't want another complaint like I had last charter.
We might as well try, and if it doesn't work,
it doesn't work.
Great.
-Four days to... -Yeah.
-...have a shot. -Okay.
-If there's anything... -Then whatever you need.
Allowing Katie to make that decision
is about her seeing that I believe in her.
She's been a chief stew for a long time.
She's had eight girls under her.
Like, she's got this.
-Okay, thank you. -You're welcome.
All crew, all crew, meet in the main salon
for our tip meeting.
Opa!
Thank you, darling.
So, I mean, we're mid-charter season,
we had our first complaint.
I like to call this constructive criticism.
As a business owner,
he highlighted the things that we really need to improve on.
So, we wanna bring that energy back up.
I'm adding someone.
She is a deck stew, but she's coming out to help interior.
This is not a person to replace anybody,
this is someone to support us.
I ----ing hate this.
Who's she rooming with?
I think she should go in with Mat.
Dave, come in with us.
Yeah, is that okay with you guys?
-Yeah. -Thank you for that.
I'm excited, because it might be quite nice
to kind of have a bit more conversation with the lads.
But at the same time, it's three bodies in a small room.
There's not a lot of space,
and I try to keep things as clean as I possibly can.
It might jib on me a little bit if it's ----ing chaos in there.
Mat, I've never heard one complaint about your food, ever.
Thank you for that.
You're welcome, thank you.
Even though we had our constructive criticism,
it's the biggest tip this season.
Woo!
So, we got $23,585,
and it's $1,965 per person,
1,658 euros per person.
Woo!
Yo, my food was great this charter.
I was the saving grace, biggest tip of the season so far,
and I hope they all keep getting bigger.
-Where are you going? -I'm gonna wash dishes.
We've all got beds to make too.
Katie, watch the crack.
Dave, come in with us.
So, I was... yeah, I think that's the best.
I think it works, Mat and her.
Yeah, it makes more sense.
As long as... yeah.
You just have to tell her, like, we only have a coed cabin.
Yeah.
Plus, there's a lot of room in that cabin as well, with Mat.
Plus, she hasn't met Mat yet, so she'll be fine with it.
Oh, Jesus.
No, Katie's just doing the pantries.
Okay, I'll start in the master.
What do we think about having another stew?
It could be quite interesting to see if the dynamic changes.
Thanks for being the best.
Sweet, I'd better clean up my sh--.
You better.
Mathew, Katie, Malia, meet me in the crew mess
for charter number five preference sheet meeting.
Roger-dodger.
Oh sh--.
-Ooh! -Mm-hmm.
-Oh! -All lay-days!
Ladies.
Best friends Niki and Halie are true Southern belles.
Niki is a well-known realtor and Halie owns a clothing boutique.
Joining Niki and Halie are their friends
Krystal, Sarah, Ashley,
Andrea, realtor,
Bailey, an influencer, and Danielle, a housewife.
"Niki Wiley eats like a five-year-old," that's so cute.
She likes bacon, bacon, and more bacon,
French toast or pancakes.
Sushi!
Halie does not eat like a five-year-old.
Dairy allergy, don't eat corn,
gluten-free or high-carb, eat dairy-free keto.
What the is that?
Wow, this might be our most dietary restrictions...
not my favorite.
At least one of them eats like a five-year-old,
so that will be easy.
But this is ----ing intense.
There's all sorts of dietary restrictions,
it's all girls.
You know they're gonna be high maintenance.
All of the guests would like a beach picnic.
-Ugh. -Lovely.
Thank you, everybody.
You guys enjoy your evening.
Oh, God, I'm so tired.
-Okay, shots? -Yeah.
Let's get it.
What would you girls like?
So, now you wanna be a bartender?
Lexi, less sass. Just...
Okay. Okay.
I feel like once you've had a shot,
you'll be, like, less sass queen and more yas queen.
Okay, or it could turn it up a notch.
You want sassy queen or chill queen?
Sass!
Are you gonna come now?
Yeah, I was just gonna stretch for a little bit.
Yeah.
-Hello. -Hello.
How are you feeling on the interior?
-Was that this morning? -Yeah.
That sucks, because then it reflects on,
-like, the whole team. -Yeah.
And that reflects on Katie, when Katie's been,
like, busting her ass.
Hopefully good for you guys.
It depends on her personality, I think, because
there's some people that can rock in mid-charter season
and, like, kill it.
I haven't done much stretching, though.
I'm going straight to bed.
Top of the morning to you.
Top of the morning to you, bro.
Hi, boys.
Hey, you wanna join us?
I'm bored.
You hot-tubbing?
I feel a bit of trauma as Lexi's walking up the stairs.
I feel like Lexi is just sort of just a bit
of a ticking time bomb,
waiting for it to happen again.
I'm just watching you guys.
Coming up, a sneak peek at what's ahead this season.
Yeah.
His blood pressure is really high, he has chest pains.
-It was my responsibility. -I don't trust you.
I don't trust you.
Hi, boys.
Hey, you wanna join us? Hot-tubbing?
We're having a grand old time.
Come and join us in the pool.
Okay, I'm coming back, boys.
Everyone's asleep, they're boring.
-Hello? -Hi. Did you ring?
I've been trying to call you to say happy birthday.
That's all right, love, don't worry.
-This is nice. -Yeah.
-Why? -You haven't?
Well, I wasn't allowed as a kid.
-Oh, really? -Oh.
Okay.
Yeah, my mom was one of those moms.
-Yeah. -I'm going to ask...
On what grounds is it banned?
Because it's witchcraft, so it's, like,
it was against my religion.
Both of my parents were super religious, and so, like,
when I got to college, I did everything I couldn't do.
There's no curfew, you're not around to watch me.
I can live with being vilified for
a little alcohol or curse words, I'm fine with that.
Okay.
Oh!
Yeah, it's been testing, it's been testing.
-Yeah... -Okay, it's bedtime.
Okay, I'll call you in a few days.
I had fun.
I know, I... oh, I'm chill.
Am I allowed in the boys' club?
-Yeah, of course. -Okay, good.
She obviously wants to try and be more of a part of everything.
I think my thing is that I've been at a point
where I felt so ----ing worthless.
When I was 17 I'd just lost two friends in a car accident,
and I had, like, real bad survivor's guilt,
because I was meant to be with them that night,
and that kind of just sent me in a bit of a plummet.
But when I see anyone that's hurting,
every ounce of me wants to be there for them,
because being there for them heals me just,
like, a little bit.
-Ow!
Dude, how clean is it in here?
I've really condensed. She gets this whole closet.
[bleep], good job.
Cabin, cabin bridge, tidy sky lounge.
When this girl comes, I might get you
to spend a bit of time with her in here...
-Yeah. -Just to show her everything.
Okay, have you ever worn a harness before?
No, no.
It's easiest to step into it, hold it up to here,
and then work it over the top.
This is hooked onto you.
-Yeah. -This clipped to the top.
But at the same time, I've been scared of heights my whole life.
And you'll get an awkward feeling.
Yeah, oh, my God.
My dad taught me to face my fears.
When I was quite young, I was scared of birds and feathers.
So my dad used to make me go to the garden
and bring him back a feather,
and then he'd give me money for that.
So, that taught me to overcome the fear of birds.
-Okay. -Feel okay?
Yeah.
Luckily, I've come past that now.
This might have a safety lock, so what you'll have to do is...
-there you go. -Whew!
Oh!
Hey, Norma, could you bring her out of quarantine?
Thank you so much.
Lexi, do you wanna come with me for a second?
Yeah.
You've got this.
Mzi is terrified, but I'm very proud of him.
Like, I remember my first time in a harness.
Yes, Mzi!
It is scary.
-Are you scared? -Yeah.
It's his first time.
So our last charter...
I mean, you know the guests said the comments about it.
Yes.
It really annoy... it really, like...
I mean, I told you it annoys me.
Yeah.
So, when I spoke to you that night,
for it to happen again the following morning, you know?
It's just... to me, it seems a bit like...
more like laziness than anything.
Whether it is or not, that's just how it comes across to me.
Yeah.
You've been a stewardess for how long, so it's just...
-it's not acceptable. -Yeah, definitely.
And, like, I just feel like you aren't up
to a second stew standard.
Things need to be done properly,
and now that we do have an extra hand...
-Right. -There is no excuse.
Excuse.
So, I don't wanna have ranks anymore.
Okay.
And yeah, I don't know how this is gonna go down, but...
I understand.
Hi!
Later this season on "Below Deck Med"...
Have you been banging any of the crew?
You don't screw the crew.
I mean, you could screw the crew.
Look how cool this is.
Cheers.
This is actually pretty ----ing amazing.
Yeah.
Come on, now, Katie, we got that confidence in you.
You sound like you weren't sure.
----ing hell, you try working 19-hour days.
-Ooh!
Holy sh--.
I'm sure it begins with an "A" or an "E."
Delaney, meet me on the bridge, please.
Wow, I was so wrong on Andrea.
Woo!
Whatever.
Lloyd?
You dropped so quickly I couldn't read it from there.
I really need you to pick up your game, okay?
Yeah.
His blood pressure's really high, he has chest pains.
We've come this far with the three of us,
we can finish it the three of us.
Woman up, make a decision, and go have a conversation.
Do I wanna spend an extra five minutes
and the fish getting cold and overcooked?
I'm not that guy.
I'm, um, backup chef for you guys.
Oh, okay.
Throwing stern lines.
[bleep]'s sake.
I don't... I don't trust you.
-It was my responsibility. -I don't trust you.
No one here likes you.
You're a dick, you're ugly as
Oh!
If this wasn't on camera, I would have smacked your ass.
Dave!
He needs to see a doctor.
Oh.
Burned my finger pretty bad.
Holy God!
