Mediterranean recap below: Christian and Tessa clash

The deck team’s struggle to keep their heads above water is beginning to look like a challenge of endurance. Who will come out first? Nathan, who has no choice but to pray and hope that Christian and Tessa will make it He listens Why would he say it once? Will it be Tessa, wandering around the deck like a John Travolta meme, confused at all times? Will Christian be the one who decides that things are, in fact, okay, and it’s all just a matter of perspective? Will Max be the one hoping he can breathe some sense into Tessa and Christian? Come to think of it – would Captain Sandy be speechless in the face of this uncontrollable chaos?

When we resume work this week, Christian is floating away on his jet ski with his fuel tank empty. Tessa forgot to refuel despite the fact that Nathan Honestly I told her this was the most important item on the job list; Which, in fact, probably doesn’t exist anymore. These people need a different system. Checking items off a list, one of the most tried-and-true efficiency techniques since the dawn of humanity — I imagine this is how cavemen delegated their responsibilities: Kill the saber-toothed tiger, check – It doesn’t work. Maybe Nathan could jump out from a hidden corner every few hours to scare them into activity?

Max runs gloating circles around Christian before pulling him back onto the boat with another jet ski. Tessa apologizes to Nathan for the mix-up, then Amazingly, Tell him the team is “feeling weak.” This is a refrain she’ll have for the rest of the episode, complaining to hell and high water about Nathan’s leadership and the state of the surface team without him. Once Modify your own approach to work. Nathan’s main insight into her performance has less to do with her skill level than with her lack of sense of urgency: She’s like a sloth at the DMV Zootopia. By the end of the decade, Nathan was not convinced that Tessa had ever worked on a charter boat before.

One person who He has I’ve worked on charter boats before — and what’s more, one-day charter boats, which means being dexterous with handling lines from docking and undocking every day — and it’s V, who’s killing it on the inside. The first time Sandy realizes this is when she’s reviewing her resume, trying to figure out what mistakes she’s made, while Tessa and Christian battle it out in the back of the ship. In her confessional, V tells us that her decision to pursue a career as a cook instead of a deckhand had to do with the fact that being on deck reminded her a lot of her late boyfriend, Beau, who died in the ocean. Even Aisha – who almost feels guilty about how well her team is doing – jokes that V should be on deck, where she’s needed.

V’s experience comes up on deck again the next morning, in a conversation between Aesha, V, and Sandy – who seems affected. Either we are preparing for a sideways move where V will be transferred to the deck and another (potentially worse?) soup will be brought to the inner team, or The production wants to emphasize the fact that V, as a fellow rookie, is far ahead of Tessa and Christian. This last point is underscored by Kizzi’s intense competitiveness. V’s rapid advancement endears her to Aisha, which upsets Kizzy, who wants to be number one. But I don’t buy that side of Kizzy. Although she wears a strong confessional armor, she seems gentle at heart.

Kizzi’s fate, dramatically speaking, is not in butting heads with the people on her team, but in the boat. After staying loyal to Tommy on their night off, this week Kizzi is back to flirting with everyone everywhere. “I think I have a deep fear of being alone,” she laughs to herself in confession. She doesn’t tell Tommy “I love you” or “I miss you” on FaceTime; Being on bravado It gives her second thoughts about their two-month-long relationship. Kizzi is a mess when it comes to boys, but she always succeeds at her job, which unfortunately includes dealing with base Jack.

I wrote last week that Jack was very specific about his requests, but generally polite. I would like to withdraw this statement. Jack sucks. Ordering Caviar Bumps: Okay. Ordering two milkshakes in the middle of the day: I get it. Ordered that damned Szechuan Chicken – this again?! – after eight Courses that poor Josh sweated over hours: Absolutely despicable. The first indication that Jack is evil is that he orders a Spanish-themed eight-course menu It starts At 9:30 p.m., Josh is still taking it seriously: “If a dish is like a song, the eight-course menu is like a concert,” he says, pumping up his energy. It must be said that although everything looks good, the dishes become less and less “Spanish” with each passing bite, starting with Ajo Blanco to tempura and ending with crème brûlée. Still, it’s an astonishing and underappreciated accomplishment by the 200-martini-guzzling primaries chairwoman.

Jack wasn’t able to finish dessert by the time he ordered the chicken. It’s such a distasteful request that his friends try to dissuade him after making sure the crew is completely full. The whole thing… cringe. Jack is clearly only acting this way because he’s on TV, following the obnoxious’s twisted logic that attention is attention, no matter what kind. Aisha, knowing Josh had been awake for 20 hours and was dangerously close to jumping ship, pounced: Jack could order something, as long as it took 10 minutes or less. They settle on Parmesan truffle fries. By the time they are ready, naturally, Jack isn’t hungry anymore and lets them get cold and wet in the hot tub.

In fact, at this point, Jack is ready to create problems for other departments. The deck team are already on edge, not only from their usual exhausted state but also from hoisting the tender while the guests are eating dinner. Max was on the tender while Christian and Tessa worked on the delivery lines according to Nathan’s exact instructions. Max quickly lost his patience and started cursing when they had to reset the position. What angered him even more was that Nathan asked him to take five minutes to breathe and reassemble – it’s important for everyone to be smart when working with a crane, which is dangerous equipment. I thought this was good leadership from Nathan: while validating Max’s frustration, Nathan also showed that they were still a team, and that they needed to support each other.

In the end, everything works out. Nathan pulls Max aside to say that he knows it’s unfair that he has to take responsibility for Christian and Tessa, but he needs to be able to count on him to get past the Pact. Max can’t really see this as a compliment, and promises Nathan that if things don’t improve, he will “make changes.” It is into this environment that Christian shows up to work the shift for the rest of the night. Before going to bed, Nathan told him frankly no To allow completely intoxicated guests to swim in the ocean.

The first thing Jack asks Keezy once most of the crew has gone to bed is if they can go to the ocean. Kizzi tells him no, then calls Nathan over the radio to check again and tells them no again. Perhaps feeling that it would be easier to break Christian, Jack asked the deckhand if they could swim. Christian says no. Jack insists, so Christian suggests they dip their toes in the water. By agreeing to this condition, Jack now has the same look on his face when he asked for the chicken – he knows what he is doing (being evil) and why (attention). The fact that all of this happens right after eating chicken only serves to highlight Christian’s limitations compared to the rest of the crew — Aisha, Josh, and Kizzy were all firm with Jack while making him feel like he was getting what he wanted. Christian may have been aiming to achieve this with a “dip your toes” thing, but it backfires disastrously.

Nathan goes to get water from the crew mess just in time to see Jack falling into the water through the screen. (What could convince Christian that a drunk person would maintain his balance on a water platform?) He runs to the stern to pull Jack out of the water and reminds Christian that this is difficult. no On drunk guests in the ocean. In the confessional, Christian can’t understand what’s so bad about Primary getting what he wants, especially when no one gets hurt. Meanwhile, Nathan is angry that things have gone from being “generally inept” to “really dangerous.” At this point, Jack’s friends seem embarrassed to be alive, let alone associated with this man. In the morning, they lament that “the poor Christian will be in great trouble.”

This is definitely it. On the arc, Nathan tells Max what happened, which I think is a miscalculation – talking to Max about Christian only makes the tension between them worse. Later, after having to wake Tessa up to be on time for the docking, he talks to Sandy about the night. She told him for now they needed to focus on docking the boat, and then they would figure out what to do. Meanwhile, V spends two hours packing Jack’s bags.

Nathan reviews the docking plan with his team. Since Tessa had trouble throwing ropes last time, he prepared lifting ropes, which are lighter and easier to throw. Not that Tessa appreciates it, but this is Nathan trying to ensure her success. Unfortunately, despite Nathan’s warning that the lift lines should be tied tightly to the crossing lines, Tessa fails to tighten them enough: the knot immediately comes undone in the water. For their part, Max and Christian fight before docking and exchange some F-bombs on the bow just for good measure.

The guests finally leave. At the advice meeting, Sandy congratulates the interior team and, with many kind words, tells the deck team to do better. Jack and his friends left $20,000 in tips, equivalent to $1,818 each, although $1 million wouldn’t be enough. (Max and Kizzy were flirting at the beginning of the tip encounter, after Kizzy flirted with Nathan at the cabins.) Afterwards, Sandy called Nathan to the bridge and told him that it was time to replace Tessa or Christian, and that it was up to him to make the call. I’ll Bet Christian Gets Fired: Tessa may be slow, but in addition to her lack of skill, Christian has the added disadvantage of having trouble with a teammate, which affects everyone’s morale. However, Tessa doesn’t seem to realize she’s doing anything wrong at all, which could be worse. Either way, it looks like we’ll end up with a new factor and perhaps, New stew.
