With only two charters left, we are crawling our way to the end of the Below Deck Med recaps. It hasn’t been the worst season ever, I think it was the last one. This has been an interesting crew to say the least. I believe tonight’s episode will end with a THUD though based on the previews.
I didn’t even remember that Delaney was redhead until this episode. Katie tells Delaney that she thinks it is best that she leave after this charter. Delaney tries to make her case. Katie invites her to stay for the crew day off and she agrees. Katie goes to Mat for comfort. He says he wishes she would just fire Lexi. Meanwhile they are acting like the guests sleeping in until 10 is some crazy thing. They are on vacation. Delaney goes to work on deck. She struggles a little bit but gets the job done. Malia is not impressed. In the engine room an alarm is going off about a problem with the rudder pump.
Malia Takes A Deep Dive
Right now, the first priority is to get these picky guests off the boat. The tip envelope looks REALLY big. Captain Sandy praises Delaney highly at the tip meeting. They got $17,000. Tomorrow is their day off. They full use of all the toys and a trip to the falls. Courtney and Zee’s attraction is getting stronger. Meanwhile, Lexi is back in bitch mode talking trash about Mat. She gives Delaney laundry list of why she hates him. When she gets to the face that he is polyamorous, she says, “Nothing wrong with that.” She indicates that she is too. Meanwhile, Malia has to dive into the water and check out the rudder pump. Apparently, that is Delaney’s fault because the took too long to get the line to shore. Malia does not throw her under the bus. Malia dives in the water and discovers the rudder is just fine.

The crew get ready for a dinner out together in a private dining room due to Covid. At dinner, Delaney and Mat chat about their similar sexual preferences. This is really going to piss of Lexi. She says she has been to sex parties. You always have to watch out for the redheads. Courtney says the she and Katie could do better on the boat just the two of them than having the two other stews. Courtney is delusional. Everyone is drunk. Courtney praises Katie. Katie gives her a hug. David gives a speech praising pretty much everyone. Lexi interrupts to trash talk Mat. Everyone else is very supportive of Mat. So Lexi is pissed. Malia is offended when Delaney doesn’t heed her advice.
Party On The Yacht!
Back on the yacht, everyone drinks even more and parties in the hot tub. David shoot his shot with Delaney. He’s really wasted. He starts walking around the rim of the hot tub. Then he tries to step over to the side of the boat and misses and takes a very hard fall. Katie cries because her best friend is about to have a baby and she is going to miss it. Everyone goes to crew mess for the drunken munchies. Delaney brought two cheetah suits to wear. Apparently, she wears them everywhere she travels. Since she is leaving the next day, she decides it’s now or never. Then she balances Lexi with her feet. WTF am I watching here? Courtney put on the other cheetah leopard.

Meanwhile the guys are talking about the fact that they want Delaney to stay and Lexi to go. We all want that, you guys. Then they laugh about David doing ….um… whatever the fuck they are doing with Delaney. I’m sure David considers it tantric sex. David falls again. Everyone goes to bed. Then Zee orders some roses for Courtney for the next day.
The next morning, David’s leg is hurting more. Lexi stays in her bed while the others go to do some water sports. And of course, more drinking. Lloyd chats with Courtney and asks if she likes Zee. She says just as a friend. Lloyd says he thinks Zee likes her as more than a friend.
Can’t They Just Have A Peaceful Picnic?
Everyone goes back to the boat to get ready for their trip to the falls. David leg is still problematic. They all drink champagne on a pontoon boat to the waterfalls. Zee is really drunk. The guy has packed a full bar. The waterfalls are stunning. Then it’s time for a catered picnic lunch. Mat is wearing a “Just Be Nice” t-shirt while seated right across from Lexi. Either she cannot read, or she just can’t be nice. Lexi and Mat exchange insults. Everyone tries to get Lexi to STFU but she just keeps getting worse. Mat moves to the other end of the table. But the argument continues to escalate.

Then all the drunks have to climb a ton of stairs. Zee is too drunk to make the climb and has to be assisted by two of the guys. He can’t even stand up. Some of the girls change clothes in the van on the way to dinner. Lexi passed out in the car. Delaney tries to wake her up but she wants to sleep in the van. YAY! After two hours and 15 minutes passed out in the van, Lexi wakes up disoriented and finally finds the group. 🙁 The waiter delivers Courtney’s roses at the dinner table. Courtney loves them but is also a bit embarrassed. Zee is so drunk he fell out of his chair. Apparently, Lexi called Mat a retard. It was bleeped. His mother was a special Ed teacher.
Then, Lexi says that his parents should have aborted him. Why the hell can’t we send this cunt home? She says if this was not on camera she would smack him. Then she exits stage right. Delaney is on WWHL tonight via Zoom from Hawaii. Maybe she will stay after all. Jerry O’Connell is also on. I hope Andy asks him about Wendy Williams. Oh I forgot that he is the new co-host of The Talk. So I guess he can’t sub for Wendy. I’ll let you know in comments if there is anything important.
I had a really hard day today and I’m grateful for you TT I just wanted you to know that tonight
I’m so sorry for your day. It seems like everyone I know is going through the wringer. Hopefully it will pass for us all soon. Your post was at 11:11 so maybe that is a sign things will turn around for you quickly. xo ~tt
Something spooky going on here, I was just about to send my comment off and then it suddenly disappeared. It must be a sign of something so I will leave it at this and look forward to others. Great
recap as always. I am always watching my email after a show, I’m like a little kid waiting to run to x-mas tree, and then things just show up, just like your emails. So thank you so much.
Did anyone else notice when Delaney said that she obviously made friends with the wrong person? For a bright girl the fact that she didn’t clue into that sooner is troubling.
On WWHL or maybe it was an after show or both, she spoke kindly about Lexi and working with her. She said she was a good trainer and she enjoyed her time with her. That said Delaney seems like a very nice person.
I have no idea what level of bruising requires medical attention, but Dave is in a lot of pain — you can see the strain on his face when the camera catches him walking with the group… usually lagging behind.
Ten to one, at the reunion, Captain Sandy will say that Lexi should have been fired and it’s Katie’s fault for not telling her what was happening.
You are right Sandy takes no responsibility for her behavior
Yawn will say that she should have been told that Lexi physically assaulted both Lloyd and Zee. She will say that if she had known that she would have fired Lexi on the spot. She said the same about Hannah and the monster second stew.
Yawn says she trusts her first stew, but she did the same with Hannah. If your head stew says someone needs to go and you say you trust them, then you let them go. I think it IS fair to let the “to be fired” person hear the “charges” against them and have their say. But Yawn didn’t even LET KATIE SPEAK before Lexi barged in, then didn’t give Katie the courtesy of listening to what she wanted to say about Lexi abusing EVERYONE on the boat.
I hope Yawn will acknowledge that Lexi started all of the shit with Mat. Her complete disrespect to the chef AND the guests became clear when she ate the lamb pops off the platter Mat was preparing for the guests. I’ve worked in restaurants from diners to haute cuisine and NO ONE does that. NO ONE! Lexi/Satan was testing Mat to see how far she could get on her looks.
POST REMOVED AND POSTER PUT ON NOTICE FOR SPOILERS
Read the comments rules I know now as learned to spell people’s name correctly. ( I’m sorry)
No worries I’ll take you off mod. xo ~tt
Oh my goodness feel free 😉 Hugs if I lived near I’d pull weeds! HUGS THANK YOU
I wish you all would stop SPOILING THE NEXT EPISODE HERE. We all watch the show. We all see the commercials reminding us we can watch the next episode on Peacock. THIS IS NOT SPECIAL NEWS! AND I FOR ONE AM SICK AND TIRED YOU YOU GUYS SPOILING IT BUY SAYING SHIT LIKE “I AM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED” AND THEN TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN WHAT YOU THINK IS A FUCKING CLEVER WAY! JUST STOP SPOILING SHIT.
I’m of the mind to put you all in moderation and not read your comments after the next episode so this shit does not keep happening!
Thank you, Tamara, for removing spoilers.
Thanks Tamara- I was kicked out of a Facebook group for stating the same sentiment.
Lexi is just vile. I’m really hoping Katie fires Lexi & keeps Delaney.
I just noticed that it was Lexi that started the crap at the picnic. May said something and she said 16 more days. Very passive aggressive IMO. Also, I think May catches a bit if break because he was laughing at himself quitting. I doubt Lexi has ever laughed.
Lexi is the most foul, obnoxious, entitled superior-feeling, hateful, awful, bitch with a capital C.
That is all.
Does anyone else fantasize that Lexi would fall off the boat? I do. TT, you can scrap this message if it’s not appropriate. This must have been a TLC plant, this lying mean little girl. Who the hell has a burn book past the age of 12 unless there is some sort of mental illness. I’m just saying… I still hate Sandy, she’s such an ass licker. what’s with delaney? It took her this long to figure out nobody else likes Lexi? These people….

POST DELETED FOR DICUSSION ABOUT FUTURE EPISOSES
Lexi has real emotional and mental health problems. Remember when she was calling herself the “devil”? She obviously has a feeling that her internal self is bad, ugly, evil. Not sure what happened to her as a child, but loosing a father doesn’t bring that behavior out in people.
Captain Sandy should have listened when the first problems came out about Lexi. Let’s talk about the double standard. Lexi physically and sexually assaulted people, men during the previous hot-tub episode, if that had been a male, he would have been off the boat. Should be the same for females. Verbal, physical, sexual abuse should never be allowed, especially in the workplace and there should be a zero policy. Plus it was caught on camera, she could have been charged
I also watch a week ahead.
I know that when we watch the next week’s episode on Peacock, we still have to wait a week for the “next, next” episode. But I love not being left by the cliffhangers.
Wow, while I do not like Lexi at all, it’s amazing how yall spun this one!! Matt was the aggressor…he started it! Then the mess hit the fan when he told lexi that she had bad parents! Uhhh remember her dad JUST DIED!! No this one is on matt
Lexi is that you? lol.
Too funny but I’d ditto that one! HI LEXI!
Good one TT! What kinda got me is that Lexi basically slept all day and when David put up the napkin to separate Matt and Lexi, she instantly went on the attack on sweet David. She needs some serious anger management training. She thinks she is better than most or all on the boat. Scary girl.
Take out the “than most” and “on the boat.” She thinks she is better than EVERYONE. PERIOT. She better pray her face and figure stay on point because that’s all she has.
Is Delaney hearing impaired? Wondering about her speech.
Lexi’s behavior has definitely been over the top. I feel like Lexi did speak some truth when she said that nobody really likes Matt, they were just putting on to be nice. I would not really want to talk to the guy that has ditched us twice and brags about allegedly spending thousands on brothels or prostitutes or whatever he said. Other than that Lexi has been totally out of line. I feel like production may have insisted on keeping Lexi and Matt because they are the two most volatile ones on the boat. I wonder if Lexi will walk back her stance at the reunion or stand firm.
Mat’s cooking is one of the main reasons the tips have been so good. Mat apologizes and means it. He’s only bad when he drinks. Lexi is awful drunken or sober. Lexi is the reason that one hard-partying guy ripped the interior for service.
I do not understand why Katie doesn’t fire Lexi and keep Delaney on laundry. Even if she can’t do everything, she is getting paid to do NOTHING, so she may as well do whatever she can do. She seemed to be doing a great job on laundry and actually worked, unlike Lexi. Keeping Delaney would be good for crew morale. Getting rid of Lexi would be good for morale. It’s a win-win.
Mat definitely provoked Lexi knowing full well
How she would react but Lexi started it with her negative comments about Mat when David was giving his speech at dinner the night before. So Mat poked the bear. But Lexi, as usual, went to multiple levels above Mat’s comments. Honestly I can’t remember a single positive thing Lexi said – in her confessional or anywhere – about anyone. Just complain complain complain. She NEVER takes responsibility that her actions cause reactions.
As for Sandy, she has no respect for the interior. She just thinks they’re waitresses & maids, not comparable to the exterior crew. She ALWAYS questions her chief stews’ decisions and think their jobs are a breeze. This from a woman who is opening a restaurant on dry land.
Another positive thing if Katie kept Delaney and fired Lexi: Katie could have the hard-working and ebullient Courtney focused on the duties she needs to learn to become a bonafide second stew. (She doesn’t YET have enough experience to be second stew by default.) That would be a just reward for picking up Lexi’s slack and dealing with her abuse for the entire season.
I hope when Yawn sees Lexi’s big blow out, including assault, AND how LAZY Lexi was, she will learn how to trust and support her first stew and bosuns instead of making it into her “you need to rise to this challenge or you are a failure” MO. She said herself that Katie has had eight stews under her. But she didn’t ask Katie if she ever had to fire anyone. That would have given a clearer perspective on how bad Lexi really is.
My comment is not intended to insult anyone. With that being said. This was filmed on the heels of Black Lives Matter and everyone was afraid to come off as racist for disliking Lexi.
Trust me. People don’t hate Lexi because she is black. They hate her because she is a GIANT CUNT.
Katie has already tried to fire Lexi in the beginning but Sandy told her to wait it out. She would never say that to a bosun.
In Katie’s mind it’s too late to fire Lexi now Bc of the situations that occurred. In her mind i think she would look like a horrible person to fire lexi after she’s “apologized” and spoke about her fathers passing. Plus I’m sure she didn’t want to look like a racist at this point.
Delaney has issues. She has no accountability and for her to worsen her speech on purpose shows the type of person she is. Her throwing that line was horrible. And not owning it!!!
