After dinner, Iain goes back to the boat, opting out of dancing.

He wants to do better and avoid a hangover.

At the club, Ellie and Joe dance all over each other, and it becomes a make-out.

Im annoyed that the club doesnt seem to be enforcing the white dress code.

If I were Bri, I would choose the other car.

On the boat, Bri is snippy toward Joe.

Bri feels as though she cant stand up for herself, and Sandy volunteers to get involved.

Bri says no, so Sandy counsels her to take control of her emotions and shake it off.

Bri takes Sandys advice to stand up for herself, calling Ellie out for not prioritizing the cabins.

She feels that Ellie did it on purpose and asks Ellie to leave her alone.

While Bri starts cleaning, Ellie wont leave.

She pulls rank and repeats, You dont get to speak to me like this.

Ellie frames this as another Bri meltdown.

Its givingA Streetcar Named Desirewith Ellie trying to commit Bri.

Bri fills Aesha in, and the chief stew agrees that Ellie shouldve prioritized the cabins.
