The thing about Captain Sandy?
She knows how to time an exit.
A mere 90 minutes before the charter, she calls Alissa to the bridge and formally fires her.
Alissas reaction to the whole situation must be beyond validating for Captain Sandy.
No apologies, no last words, she just barely musters up a thank you and walks out.
She tells her colleagues that she got fired for literally nothing.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Get this disrespectful diva out of here!
As Alissa packs up her things, she claims that Captain Sandy is running a dictatorship.
Ross simply stands by in silence because, honestly, what else can you do?
Again, whatever helps you sleep at night.
Captain Sandy calls a team meeting and says that its imperative that everyone onboard respect the hierarchy.
For a people pleaser like Fraser, this is everything.
I doubt hell make a single mistake from here on out.
Ben is like a kid on Christmas morning.
Rachel pauses lunch to prepare the sandwich, which Laquish never even touches infuriating, to say the least.
She pulls the same shit later that night, insisting on a midnight snack.
She wants her sandwich wrapped up, placed in her room, and accompanied by a Sprite.
But thats not all.
She also has a special request for tomorrows dinner: a steak wrapped in 24k gold.
Tasteless and tacky, but sure.
Fast-forward to bedtime, and Laquish emerges to sleep on the couch instead of in her bed.
She claims her bedroom is too creepy, so Tyler makes up the couch for her with spare sheets.
And this is only the beginning.
The next day, the guests want a beach Olympics.
Fraser delivers the bad news, insisting theyd all be miserable with the one tenable option.
He is absolutely right with this recommendation.
Instead, the crew puts on an onboard Olympics.
And God bless Captain Sandy, who has stepped in to help with turndown service, backs Fraser up.
For what its worth, Hayley compares these guests to that creature inSesame Streetthat lives in a bin.
The Olympics go well enough.
Katie and the primary guest win; Ross ogles at Katie in her lime-green bikini, the usual.
While cleaning, Fraser and Hayley discuss how calm this charter has gone because of Alissas absence.
They decide that Captain Sandy is an oracle and crew whisperer, and I agree.
But this cabin cleanup isnt enough: These guests need even more towels.
Laquish needs one in particular to wash her Hello Kitty.
Classic co-worker chatter … until a guest named Susan walks in on them.
To be fair, theyre talking shit about Laquish, not Susan, but still.
This isnt a good look.
She had an affair with someone else!
So they divorced, and he found himself, and now hes here.
Last but certainly not least, Captain Lee is finally coming back.
When you want me but no longer need me, then I have to go.
