Have I mentioned enough names in these first two sentences yet?
Because after her meeting with Lee, Francesca is flirting with Rob on the aft deck.
And Robs supposed to be the awkward one.
Then, finally, a bit of plot!
Go enjoy your vacation!
Youll be doing plenty of those in like a month!!
Im just glad theyre having fun.
(And Francesca looks almost just as silly with her bob-beret-wig-hat-combo.)
More specifically, she says later on she wants to fuck this ten-course meal in the mouth.
Rachel doesnt just not flinch, she barely sweats throughout the whole meal.
Its the biggest reason yet not to get rid of her, in a whole charter full of them.
Eddie is nervous too!
So he diagrams it out for his deck crew on a whiteboard, using an eraser as the boat.
For some reason, its one of the funniest things Ive ever seen?
This guy drawing out a docking like a football-coach-meets-math-professor!
Guess thats what an adventure education degree prepares you to do.
Because these dockings always get us worked up for nothing.
If only he knew!
Whatever, shes earned her spot back in my book.
I think he puts it better later on: Im taking my jackasses to see their jackasses!
Now that the funs out of the way, Francesca has to demote Elizabeth.
And she seems pretty distraught over it!
She was meditating and pacing while the rest of the crew was off petting donkeys.
What kind of a show would we have gotten if shehadbeen fired?
And I knew Izzy disliked Francesca, but not this much!
She has high expectations, as a manager should in a luxury industry!
It all starts to feel kind of childish.
I dont ever want to feel so out of control, like that, again.
Proud of you for sharing your story, Izzy!
She doesnt do anything terrible, but its definitely embarrassing.
Between the leaving before charter and this, I do worry about her hiring prospects in the future!
Before long, theyre making out feign your surprise.
Im just surprised it took nearly halfway through the season!
I expect to see an Emmy nomination for editing in 2021.
Later this season: Turtles!
Eddie talks to James about keeping work and pleasure separate.
James is flirting with Ashling, too?
Lee gets emotional about charter guests whose young daughter died because his son recently died.
Rob is, in Izzys words, a fucking asshole?
Rachel drinks too much yet again and upstages a band!
That guest finally jumps in and gets Lee to cancel their charter!
The situation in interior turns to war.
Everyones crying about coronavirus.
And a situation that Lees telling the crew about?!
Like a ten-course meal, I say keep it coming.
Tips
Rob has a tattoo of apegasorn a pegasus-slash-unicorn riding an orc, riding a dragon.
He also enjoysSettlers of Catan!
What is Eddies deck crew doing while Francesca demotes Elizabeth?
Just having a beer after finishing their work, like people who like each other!
