What happened in the Below Deck Down Under episode
Below Deck Down Under episode 13 opened with the crew returning from a night out, where tensions simmered beneath the surface. In the van ride back to the yacht, Tzarina, Adair, Marina, Nate, and Nicolas engaged in lighthearted banter, while Lara and Bri continued discussing Tzarina’s plating issues.
Harry remarked in his confessional that, “They’re just plates,” as Below Deck Down Under highlighted the contrasting moods between the two groups. Onboard, Harry and Bri shared a romantic moment, watched by the rest of the crew on the ship’s monitors.
Meanwhile, Tzarina and Lara silently coexisted in their cabin. The next morning on Below Deck Down Under, Alesia announced she lost her lipstick, joking that it was "half her personality."
Tzarina seized the opportunity to address tensions with Alesia, apologizing for previous conflicts. Alesia accepted, creating a tentative peace between the two.
During the preference sheet meeting, Captain Jason revealed that the next charter guests requested a circus-themed event. He advised Lara to place Marina back on service duty, aiming for growth within the interior team.
Although Lara remained hesitant, she agreed to give Marina another opportunity. At the same time, Nate promoted Harry to lead deckhand, which Captain Jason praised, marking a significant milestone for Harry on Below Deck Down Under.
Tzarina later confronted Lara in their cabin about not shutting down negative conversations concerning her, insisting that she deserved respect and support as well. Lara disagreed, stating, "I'm just listening" when others needed to vent.
Tzarina ultimately ended the conversation, requesting that Lara allow her relationship with Alesia to move forward without interference. Following Captain Jason’s advice, Lara assigned Marina to service duty.
Meanwhile, Harry began training Nicolas on handling the anchor drop. However, Captain Jason criticized Harry’s radio communication during the operation, prompting Harry to apologize and acknowledge he needed to improve. This leadership test became a focal point of Harry’s storyline in this Below Deck Down Under episode.
The guests boarded the Katina and brought a lively energy that lifted the crew’s spirits. Marina checked in with Tzarina regarding the fruit platters, relaying that only the passion fruit had been touched.
Tzarina appreciated the communication, viewing Marina’s role on service as a success. Meanwhile, Lara organized a beach day for the guests, sending Bri ashore to assist.
As the weather worsened, the guests returned to the yacht, but Bri’s late return annoyed Lara. When Bri arrived, Lara reminded her to come back with the guests right away, showing the ongoing tension between them.
In the kitchen, Tzarina prepared a fancy seafood dinner with help from Alesia, showing their growing friendship. Meanwhile, Nate kept flirting with Alesia, hinting at a possible boat romance.
Lara tried to boost team morale by ordering a replacement lipstick for Alesia. Alesia appreciated the gesture, calling it thoughtful, but Tzarina expressed frustration in her confessional, saying,
“She just can’t stay out of it” and “Jesus, that b*tch.”
Despite her irritation, Tzarina told Alesia she looked "phenomenal" in the new lipstick. Later, Lara suggested that Alesia’s good mood was thanks to her gift, and Alesia responded that she appreciated feeling supported.
The next morning, worsening weather rocked the yacht, challenging service and deck operations. Marina remained steady in her service duties, while Bri grew frustrated by Lara’s frequent radio calls. The episode ended with the start of the circus-themed dinner, interrupted by a sudden storm as the credits rolled.
Below Deck Down Under season 3 continues to air on Mondays at 8 pm EST on Bravo.
