What happened on Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 13? Details explored
Trending
Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 13 started with the guests facing a storm, forcing them to stay onboard. The Greek winery trip that Aesha planned earlier didn’t happen. However, she got creative and arranged an "impromptu wine tasting," which worked, and guests enjoyed it.
"Aesha has some skills that you don’t find on a CV. Not every chief stew can get the guests to smile when it’s pouring out, and all their plans have been canceled," confessed Captain Sandy.
They were stuck at the dock for a night when crew members managed to keep the guests entertained with food.
Chef Jono: In trouble
On Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 13, Chef Jono faced issues regarding what to prepare for the guests because a few had food allergies. While some guests on board requested sushi, a few couldn’t eat raw food.
The first course the Chef prepared was Tuna Carpaccio, which is raw tuna. As soon as Aesha left the dining room after serving the dish, the guest with a food allergy shared,
"It looks beautiful. I would eat it if I could, but I can’t eat raw fish cause it could kill me."
After learning about such a huge mistake from Chef Jono, the Captain said she would handle the situation, who then confessed,
"What the f*ck! This is unacceptable."
She then talked with the Chef and told him it was a "big screwup" and would go on her "preference sheet." The chef admitted his mistake and apologized, but the Captain insisted that he apologize to the guests.
Captain Sandy confessed that never in her 35 years at sea had she had a chef who fed a guest something that could actually kill them. She added that it was a fireable offense. The Chief Stew, Aesha, referred to the situation as "a huge f*ckup."
Later, in the episode, Captain Sandy called the Yacht Crew Replacement.
"It’s Captain Sandy, I need a new Chef. Time frame’s, like, today,” shared the Captain.
Ellie is getting in on more troubles on Below Deck Mediterranean
In the 13th episode of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9, Aesha also told Ellie to keep everything neat and that the white wine must be placed inside the fridge. Aesha later confessed that Ellie was a bartender on a five-star superyacht and didn’t have to keep repeating herself.
Later, Aesha instructed Ellie and said, "Start clearing the plates." Ellie brought a stack of clean plates. Aesha then explained what she meant by that, to which Ellie was annoyed, and she shared that,
"I’m starting to feel like, ‘this big.’ I read a lot about leadership nitpicking. Like, how does that make me try harder to please you?"
Below Deck Mediterranean season 9: A fourth stew?
Meanwhile, the Captain was on a call with the boat's owner, and they discussed getting a fourth stew. The owner agreed to her request, which Captain couldn’t wait to share with Aesha.
While looking for the Chief Stew, the Captain found her eating while standing up. Captain Sandy asked Aesha if she had ever sat for a meal.
"I don’t. I’ve got no time," confessed Aesha.
Captain then asked how she would feel if they brought another stew, which Aesha said would be amazing.
Later in the episode, Ellie was late for her shift. She came late and then asked Aesha whether she could go for breakfast.
"You start at 9:15, so you should have eaten before you started," Aesha shared.
One of the guests found Elli's phone in their cabin. Aesha was not happy about this, either.
Bri and Ellie getting along, Captain receives a text, and more
Ellie and Bri seemed to be getting well together in the latest episode of Below Deck Mediterranean. They talked about how when "Joe’s out of the picture," they get along. Bri shared in the confession,
While going to bed, The Captain received a confirmation text from Norma about getting a stew. There have been no updates about the new chef yet.
Later, the Chef made another mistake: He prepared a "cookie/ chocolate cake sandwich" when he was supposed to prepare a soufflés crème brûlée.
When Captain learned about the "Dessert situation" from Aesha, she called the Chef and chatted with him. Captain Sandy confessed she would have to let the Chef go. She got the news from Norma,
"Sandy, so sorry. I can’t find a chef available right now."
The episode ended with the Tip Meeting, during which, despite multiple issues with the food preferences, the crew received $25,000. Additionally, the captain shared that a new stew would soon be joining the crew.
