Kiko offers to leave at the end of the charter, and Sandy just nods with a terse mmhmm.
After telling Hannah what happened, he goes to his bunk for the night and just bawls.
Its cut between shots of Hannah quietly cleaning up and Kiko sobbing, and it feels a bit bizarre.
I watch this show for entertainment and escape, but right now, I just feel like shit.
Ive said it before, but I mean it now more than ever: poor Kiko.
Clearly, I was too quick to defend Captain Sandy just a few episodes ago.
She tries to talk to Kiko, and hes not having it.
Which, yes, the charter does need to be finished, and the boat does need a chef.
Kiko could have pulled a Leon and left mid-charter.
I wouldnt have blamed him if he had at least he didnt start a fire in his kitchen!
And Sandy better not walk into that kitchen again until theres a new chef to micromanage.
Later that morning, Sandy calls Hannah to her office for a short talk.
But at the end of the day, Kiko was a capable chef when it counted.
After what, three weeks on this crew?
Jess is shaken up and doesnt say it back, which Rob says hes okay with.
Jess would be great onThe Bachelor.
Who told him?)
The guests love it so much so that they ask Kiko to come out so they can applaud him.
Its good to knowsomethinggood came out of this charter.
The guests absolutely eat it up because theyre here to have the time of their lives.
No wonder she and Bugsy are friends.
The next morning, its all about Kikos impending exit and the six beers hes going to have afterward.
And thats where this show starts to get less fun.
Of course, its no fun to bring a stranger onto the boat halfway through the season, either.
Kiko was a capable chef who slipped up, and I think he could have finished the season.
But Sandy didnt, and we got one of the sadderBelow Deckepisodes Ive ever seen.
Tip Sheet
How ready is Sandy to fire people?
She once fired her own nephew from a boat after hiring him, she tells us in a confessional.
Alex is, somehow, 23 years old.
Last episode featured the least of Pete weve seen yet this season.
