We pick back up with the St. David in the middle of sushi-gate.
Frustrated by all the moving pieces, Anthony complains, They think Im an octopus.
Even his metaphors arent vegetarian friendly.
Fraser is worried Anthonys not up for the job and vetoes his diarrhea-esquepad Thai plating.
Unfortunately this does not save it from being cold and average.
Anthony admits he doesnt have the proper experience with vegan food.
so this news is not shocking at all.
The interior is suffering this charter.
Theyre a stew down, and Barbie especially is feeling the extra work.
Shes shutting down and feels like she cant communicate with Fraser.
Shes still being professional, yet her curt responses and cold shoulder dont seem like genuine attempts to communicate.
Meanwhile, Dylan and Ben are happily bonding over hooking up with charter guests in the past.
If theres any deck-crew drama to be had, its that Ben needs to choose a lead deckhand soon.
Ben sees Dylan as a puppy whos eager for the job but thinks Sunny knows the boat better.
He wouldnt want it to seem like hes showing her favoritism, though.
I wonder if they also started as a questionable work romance.
Anyway, well have to wait until next week to find out who will be Grenadas Next Top Deckhand.
But the docking is completely fine.
Its not like I was rooting for the boat to crash, but why do I feel disappointed?
Okay, maybe I am rooting for a crash.
Insurance would pay for it anyway.
Kerry calls Anthony to the bridge for a postmortem on dinner.
Anthony knows it was bad.
Born a loser, die like a loser.
Now Im concerned about this teacher who was seemingly bullying his students.
The new stew, Paris, meets the crew out at dinner.
Xandi is excited about her new roommate because Paris loves laundry and has four years of experience.
Maybe shell iron the napkins.
Shes so Australian that she has two kangaroos at home and tells everyone to look up echidna penises.
But back on the boat after dinner, its a relatively tame night.
Barbie is purportedly keeping their relationship platonic.
How she doesnt cave to Kyle adorably obeying her commands with woof woof, I do not know.
Although she is immediately putting in work as a confidant and go-between.
Fraser fills Paris in on Barbies attitude issues while Barbie complains to Ben that shes not getting breaks.
Paris knows this is awkward; Fraser feels comfortable venting to her, but hes her boss.
Hes putting a lot of confidence in someone he hasnt even seen make a bed yet.
Barbie tells Fraser she doesnt feel like she can talk to him because shes workingforhim, not with him.
He doesnt take this well.
Paris listens nearby, sipping her cocktail as if watching a show.
Fraser says Barbie is horrible to work with when shes in a mood.
She asks if he wants her to go.
He says no; he just wants her to accept that this is yachting.
They cant communicate without triggering each other.
Lifeguard Ben cant save it.
Similarly, Xandis in a dinosaur tube lamenting the lack of a man for her.
Paris (and I) find this cringe.
Paris tells us hes gorgeous, but personality wise hes a three.
Ben and Paris connect after firefighting the Fraser/Barbie inferno all day.
As theyre talking, Ben puts his hand on her knee.
It looks awkward, but Paris doesnt seem to mind.
Suddenly theyre holding arms in a drunken way that feels all the more inappropriate in full daylight.
And, of course, Sunny sees this.
Paris tries to vouch for Barbie with Fraser as he gets ready for the evening.
She says he and Barbie are too similar, and he doesnt like that assessment at all.
He also is acting like putting blush all over his face for a sunburned look.
Lets hope her concealer is waterproof.
