What happened on Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 8: Details explored
Trending
The previous episode of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 featured wildfire smoke, which Captain Sandy somehow managed to escape. She also successfully got all the guests and crew members to safety. The latest episode (8) showed 'Mustique' yacht running into one more issue, as it was caught between smaller boats and a superyacht in the front. Parking in between them was not an easy task.
With experience and skills, Captain Sandy pulled that off perfectly. Crew and guests appreciated the Captain’s skills and navigation. Sandy also appreciated Nathan’s skills, as he was assisting her while docking the yacht. After Joe was replaced from the bow, he was not happy and wanted to prove his worth.
Laundry issues and more on Below Deck Mediterranean
After Captain Sandy’s white pants turned grey, she called Bri to her cabin. Captain thought:
"They must have been put in with the darks or something."
Seeing such a “laundry situation”, Bri’s supervisor, Aesha, shared in the confessional:
"I have to try to figure out what I can do to change this."
Aesha called Bri while she was in the laundry room. So Bri went on the break, and then Ellie tried to look into Bri’s laundry notebook. She was under the impression that Bri had been writing down all the mistakes that had been occurring in the laundry lately.
Captain trusting Joe on Below Deck Mediterranean episode 8
When guests returned from the water, Captain Sandy asked Nathan to haul the anchor and called Joe. He was worried that Captain was going to scold him. However, when he came to the bridge, Sandy showed him all the steering controls and left him there while she went for a coffee. Joe was excited about such a responsibility from the Captain herself.
Joe shared in the confessional:
"She’s still giving me responsibility even after everything that’s gone down. She’s got trust in me, and it just makes me feel at ease. Give me more time on the wheel!"
Things are not good for Iain
While they were reaching Hydra, the Captain planned to drop two anchors. By doing so, she wanted to ensure that no rock interference would be there. On approaching the dock, she asked the crew to throw heavy lines. But Iain thought that they couldn’t.
Quickly, Gael saw two men on the port ready to catch those lines. The Captain surely noticed this and wasn’t happy with Iain. She shared in the confessional:
"What the heck? They’re literally right there."
The Captain added:
"Iain sometimes doesn’t look before he speaks. There were two people on the dock. Pay attention. Be aware. I’m definitely keeping my eye on him."
Aesha is done with Brie and Ellie's situation
Aesha was not happy with her stews for their ongoing issues and fights with each other. So, she considered assigning responsibilities to her crew and getting some off her plate. She assigned Ellie to put together the lunch service.
After Ellie was assigned lunch, she shared in the confessional:
"I have never run a lunch service before, but with Bro, the energy is just not matching. I’m not trying to be mean toward Bri in any way."
The table was not set for lunch on time, and Aesha was getting irritated seeing such behavior from the crew. She shared:
"This is why I don’t like taking breaks. I feel so stressed out because the person I left in charge doesn’t even know where things are."
The Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 8 ended with Aesha going to the Captain to discuss Bri and Ellie's situation. Before that, she went to the laundry room and got Bri’s notebook. She thought it was a “book of receipt” and later realized that it might have been a “burn book.”
Aesha said:
"I can’t tell if Bri is stirring the pot or Ellie is. I see cashmere in the dryer and this burn book…. Things are out of control. It’s time to involve Captian Sandy, ‘cause I honestly need help with this."
Fans can stream Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 every Monday at 9 PM ET on Bravo.
