Tonight, we return to a boat where Captain Lee is madder than a wet hen. We’ve literally never seen him this angry. In this Below Deck recap, I presume someone is going to have to go in and extradite Drunk Dolores from the sea where she apparently wants to feed peas to the fish and have Elizabeth swim out and serve her some bacon and another drink. I am pissed that this show has an extra fifteen minutes. So, I already can’t watch The Wall and this probably unnecessary fifteen minute means I have to pause at 10:15 to try and tape the last 45 minutes of The Weakest Link. I need my gameshows during these trying times. Get your shows done in an hour, Bravo.
Delores Watch & Smelly Crotch
Dolores managed to get her drunk as back on board. Captain Lee said to get her drunk ass in bed NOW! And went to his cabin, furious. I feel like in the morning he will calm down and either put Delores off the boat by herself, or let them finish charter. We shall see. Thank you Rachel for DILLIGAF. Does it look like I give a fuck? I plan to use that acronym with impunity. Captain Lee says someone needs to be on guard all night to keep Drunk Delores from deciding to take another swim. While everyone sets a schedule for night watch, James helps the incompetent Elizabeth do her job. Eddie and Francesca wake up the sleeping crew to tell them when their night watch shift will start.

Elizabeth and James seemingly have no idea what is going on so the go crawl in a bunk together and start fucking like rabbits. Izzy is on Delores Duty. She is relieved by Rob. Izzy has been sick for two days. And when she gets back to her bunk she finds them fucking in her bunk. So Izzy has to move to Ashling and Elizabeth’s bunk and crawls in Elizabeth’s bed. Then Elizabeth shows up and Izzy has to go back to her bed. She’s probably spreading her sickness everywhere. James is unrepentant.
Woman Overboard: Part Two
The next morning Captain Lee is still agitated and seems to be weighing his options about what to do. Hopefully, Rachel makes him French toast. This doesn’t seem like a Cheerios and banana morning to me. He calls Eddie, and Francesca to the bridge and tells them that Delores has got to go. He’s considering allowing the rest of them to stay. He calls up the primaries and they are very open to whatever Captain Lee decides. It’s decided everyone but Delores stays. Then Dolores thinks it would be funny to hop off the tinder. The second engineer, Zach radios Lee to let him know. What a moron. Is this production?

Eventually Dolores is deposited on shore with her luggage. The charter continues. Izzy got very little sleep and still feels like crap. Breakfast on the other hand looks amazing. It’s French toast day! Francesca is ready to just throw Elizabeth overboard. And while I don’t blame her, this isn’t the best time to stomp off and whine to Captain Lee. It’s never really a good time to whine to Captain Lee. She needs to handle her business. Her job is to keep trivial shit like this handled so Captain Lee doesn’t even know about it. Eddie decides to save Francesca and offers to let him intercede. Eddie is the new Kate, so that is probably wise.
Tensions Build On Deck
Things are tense on the deck because Izzy feels like shit, had to baby sit a grown ass woman over night, and when she finally got back to her bunk, James was fucking someone in it. She got no sleep, feels like crap and is fantasizing (I assume) of throwing his ass overboard. Eddie tells James that he is going to have to have a serious talk with him and Elizabeth about keeping work and pleasure separate. Actually, Eddie, you need to learn your place. Talk to James. Francesca will talk to Elizabeth. Meanwhile, Ashling and Rachel are the only ones ignoring the drama and doing their jobs. The new guy Rob is cute but… has he spent his entire life in a basement playing dungeons and dragons or something? He doesn’t know how to talk to women or men apparently. It’s like this is his first time in the world and he is overcome by the entire experience.

One of the female guests accidently clips a jet ski mirror. Eddie acts like a dick about it. Shit happens, Eddie. Dinner tonight is a seafood extravaganza. I would like that delivered immediately, please. I think we could all use an extravaganza this week. Ah… Captain Lee just called Francesca “kiddo.” That means he likes her. This is good news for her. He also agrees to have dinner with the guests again. Because, he doesn’t want to make them feel like idiots. I don’t think he is really fond of eating with the guests in general, but it comes with the territory.
The Moment Of Reckoning
Eddie and Francesca call a meeting with James and Elizabeth. The topic is stop fucking like rabbits when the charter guests are on board. And find a place to do it where it doesn’t effect your bunk mates. I’m just guessing. Eddie could give them plenty of tips on this since he would drag Rocky to the laundry room pretty much every night. And then he lied about it and covered it up. Because, asshole. #TeamRocky

It’s time for a seafood extravaganza! Captain Lee is not looking forward to dinner with the guests, but I think Rachel’s food will assuage him. Meanwhile, Izzy looks really ill. I’m starting to worry she has COVID. Am I being paranoid? I think I have it about every third day. Captain Lee is really happy with the seafood. A martini glass literally falls on a charter guest who didn’t touch it at all. I’m increasingly concerned that Izzy has COVID. No one is wearing masks on charter at this time. Eddie sends Izzy back to bed when she shows up on deck saying this is the worst she’s felt so far. It’s the last day and the guests will be off by noon. Captain Lee says to isolate Izzy in a guest room once the guests leave. He says there is no COVID on the islands.
Another Successful Charter, More or Less
Finally, it what seems like the longest recap ever due to some tech issues with photos, we get the dam charter guests off the boat. The interior has to sterilize everything because she is sick and stick her in a guest bedroom to rest. I never realized how incredibly short Eddie is until I saw James standing by him asking for permission to take Elizabeth on a date. He doesn’t need Eddie’s permission. What he does on short leave is his business. The tip was 16,790 dollars. $1,400 each. It sounds like Delores didn’t kick in her share.

Captain Lee gives everyone the day off. They have a sponsored day at a local resort. Elizabeth and James go on their first date. Things you should not say on a first date in the era of emojis, “Oh look, they have eggplant parmesan! My Favorite!” Or maybe that’s a good opening remark these days who know. Meanwhile, back onboard, the rest of the crew is playing truth or dare and Eddie is on deck bleating like a goat. He’s not very good at it. Kate Chastain needs to give him a lesson. Back on the date, Elizabeth is spilling all of her childhood traumas, or at least eluding to them. The date is so boring they are back super quick with like one minute of filming. Who was that masturbating? Izzy?
A Much Deserved Day Off
The crew, minus Izzy heads off to the resort. If I didn’t think Izzy had COVID, I’d say that sitting out in the sun and sleeping on the beach would do her good. Ah! I typed this during the commercial and when the show comes back Izzy says she wants to go and just lay out. Eddie is fine with that. I really don’t think it is up to him. But okay. Rachel woke up wasted. I just took extra milk thistle in her honor.

Rachel drinks two drinks at a time She is in crazyland again. She isn’t a fun drunk. Not because she is so bizarre but because she attracts way too much attention. And she ends the drunk by being hateful and rude to everyone. Oh Lord. Rachel gets up on stage and grabs the mike asking for some “fucking dirty ass music.” Francesca tries to get her off the stage. Eddie bails. He’s literally no help. We end the show with the interior still trying to coax her off the stage. It’s an embarrassment to the boat. This will not go over well with Captain Lee and I am sure Eddie will run straight to him with it. Yeah, it is right there in the preview. And he has Francesca as his sidekick.
I was worrying last week about Izzy possibly having COVID. When she was talking on the phone to her sister? I think? she said, “I don’t think it’s Coronavirus. I was on the plane three weeks ago now…”
When she said that, I thought, “Uh-Oh. That’s…not good”.
I mean, she flew from the UK, and isn’t that pretty much the incubation period?
Obviously, I hope she doesn’t have it. She likely would have spread it to the rest of the crew by now, and what a plot twist that would be for the season!
Delores puts the ugly into ugly American traveller. She is such a stereotype of a white entitled Karen. Ffs what I wouldn’t do right now to be aboard a luxury yacht sailing around with my every need being met onboard… she probs thinks she’s edgy what a fuckwit sorry rant over but sometimes in these days of covid anxiety I could really do with rainbows and unicorns not stupid drunk deloris ok I feel better now and I’m from Sydney Australia so I empathise with American travellers that have to fight this stereotype every time they leave the good ol USA thanks TT for the recap wishing health and happiness to all TT’s readers xx
Welcome to another Aussie! We have quite a few here! 🙂
I think she has COVID.
I find Captain Lee hilarious. I heard him growling. I’m still laughing about it… For the love of God, james and elizabeth… find a place to schtup where you aren’t offending or bothering the rest of the crew. How clueless are these two? I don’t know what’s wrong with Rachel but her behavior when she drinks is bothersome. Is this is a mix of meds and alcohol or what? It is NOT normal… That deloras, I googled, and she is a graphic designer for some baby thing from Bay area. If I were a client, I’d have to find someone else to give my $. Horrible behavior.
as soon as Captain Lee snarls “Goddammit” under his breath, I am all in
I’m watching right now. I’ve had a headache for most of the day… sinuses, and yes, I keep thinking I have COVID. Even though I get bacterial sinus issues every year.
I’m tired and can’t finish. A few thoughts halfway through. Francesca seems to be settling in a bit. I would have been nervous taking Kate’s place. I think that had something to do with it. I too caught the “kiddo” and felt happy for her!
I actually think it was a good move for them to talk to the fuck bunnies together. No amplifying or misinterpreting what each other’s bosses said. Also knowing both bosses had the same issue is good.
Also, why was Lizzy Issy or whatever the fuck her name is so surprised that James actually invited her out for a drink??? He had his dick in her!
OK. I’m stopping now after that seafood extravaganza. I now know why Cap still sings her praises… of all of the seafood extravaganzas we’ve had on this series, this has to be the best I’ve seen. CONCH FRITTERS.
I’m off to bed and maybe take my temperature. I can still smell.
Hope you feel better soon. I pray you don’t have Covid.
Yes, I liked hearing Capt Lee call her kiddo. I like her. I think it’s a stressful job anyway and she’s had to fill Kate’s shoes which we know is a big job as far as Capt is concerned. She’s had to deal with Elizabeth who is a complete ditz w/no regard for her superior, and Izzy trashing her. I like Izzy ok other than that.
No fever when I went to bed! Have the residual headache hangover – definitely sinus issues. Ick.
Well that was quite an ep. Glad Delores
The Diver was held responsible & the others weren’t punished for her behavior. She seemed quite entitled to do what she wanted so doubt she’s gonna be invited on future travels. And she lied saying she was told she could take a swim. Seems she’s the type of gal that “no” is a dare to do whatever. U don’t tell her what to do.
Rachel continues to amaze with her cooking. Plus she’s so calm & organized. You never see her sweat. That seafood extravaganza was quite the “vaganza”. She’s also certifiably nuts. I’ve never heard such a filthy mouth. The James/Liz thing is really a “who cares?” but really? He couldn’t get that hand job somewhere else? These 2 are just gigantic wastes of space. And judging by previews, other crew members start falling ill so I’m guessing Izzy has COVID. They seem to be dropping like flies.
Also want to take a moment to say how much more I like Capt. Lee over Capt. Sandy. He’s just the best while Sandy showed her ass last season. Also, think that Eddie is the best bosun of these franchises. Just absolutely in charge and knows his shit.
I love that Captain Lee is a real captain. I feel like there is nothing real captains dislike more than having to have dinner with the guests. He does it and sometimes he seems to enjoy it, but usually he is dying to get back to the bridge or his cabin.
Sandy on the other hand clearly had no real things to do regarding driving the boat or any real captain’s duties. She spent her time driving the chefs nuts, and interviewing all the charter guests at every meal.
The memes I’ve seen of her asking the guests how their food was are hysterical!
I miss Kate!!!
Remember when we just got colds, sinus infections, the flu, a stomach bug, or just felt shitty? Now, you think do I have covid every time your nose drips.
I would work for Francesca any time. As much as Elizabeth complains and talks smack about her to EVERYONE I have never heard Francesca be rude, or angry, or play favorites. She gives clear instructions. Elizabeth doesn’t do what she’s told, resents being told to do her job, and does a half assed job when she does it. I agree she needs to quit running to Captain every ten minutes complaining.
I wonder about Rachel being bipolar. She’s extremely talented and creative, a hard worker. But the crying jags, the outbursts, the out of control drinking, the impetuous behaviors all point to something more than PMS or just having a bad day. If she does take meds that much alcohol is no bueno. But the drinking looks like self medicating to me. I love her and her talent. I hope she doesn’t ruin things for herself.
I’ve been worried about Izzy having covid. She’s young and would probably recover okay but even young people who are healthy with no comorbidities have suffered horrible deaths from it, like the actor Nick Cordero. Very sad and painful how he died. I’m presuming she recovers because we would have heard about it if she didn’t.
I understand Delores’ desire to swim at night. As a diver, I love night dives. But as drunk as she was she was a fatality waiting to happen. And putting any crew member in the water for a rescue puts them at risk too. Elizabeth was her usual clueless self wondering what the big deal was. Of course you can’t be sure what is “encouraged” by production. But if that was unscripted Delores is a jerk and deserved to be ditched.
I had a boss like Captain Lee once. He was a real straight shooter who did not play favorites. Gruff on the outside but a really good person. Best person I ever worked for.
I was born in Saginaw Michigan and my dad graduated from the same high school as capt Lee (few years before) and my dad was the same straight talking guy like Capt Lee.makes me miss my dad
So stealing DILLIGAF.
I’m glad to finally be getting into this crew. And regarding the “on the couch” show that was on connected to the previous episode- that’s growing on me too- I kind of like it except it’s hard to hear Josiah and the other English girl.
At first I couldn’t connect but BD is starting to work for me again, mostly because Captain Lee is the father/husband I fantasize about. Well, maybe not husband- I’m an opinionated pain in the ass; we’d butt heads all the time, so scratch that idea. I like Izzy except when she engages in gossip with Elizabeth about Francesca- she so disappoints me with that because she could be a cool person otherwise I think. How can she not see who this twit really is? I’m glad that they rabbit fucked in her room so now they’ll be on the outs. She’s got a broomstick up her ass about the interior I think. I wish DelorASS had drowned.
Izzy has confessed the she had a crush on Elizabeth so that may help explain her bias. Francesca has had to put up with so much shit with Liz, completely understand why she’s over Liz. And she wasn’t irritated at Liz for taking the break; it was because Liz, after saying she wasn’t, took the break w/o telling Francesca that she was. But poor poor Liz. So picked on because she constantly ducks up & is so clueless she can never see how her actions/inactions are the cause of it. She’s just being “picked on.” She’s so pathetic. As is James.
It was hilarious when Rob said his brother once zipped him into a suitcase and left him in the park? He is SO weird.
I still LOVE Rachel.
Anyone think her telling the Capt to f himself was just scripted?
No. I don’t think production would fuck with the Captain. 🙂 I do think Rob is very socially awkward and I still think he is hugely fuckable and would be a great boyfriend if I was seventy years younger. 🙂
“Seventy years younger “ ?
When I watched that episode, I took it as Rachel telling the charter guest and his preferences to fuck off. If she said it to Capt Lee, I don’t think he would have stood for it.
I would work for Francesca any day. All you have to do is do your job and do it well and she loves you. Elizabeth does not like to be held accountable for the rotten job she does which is why she’s always whining. Francesca does not yell at her she’s just matter of fact, but Elizabeth tells everyone that Francesca yells at her. Rachel is such a great chef, best one out of all the Below Decks and I think it’s hysterical when she gets drunk and swears like a sailor. I’m really enjoying this Below Deck, I miss Kate but I really like Francesca.
Below Deck is currently filming in St. Kitts at the Park Hyatt
