What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Julian packs, and Ava tells him that she told the staff she was away until further notice. She’s trained them over the years not to ask questions. Julian says, thank God for small favors, and Ava says Julian has reason to be thankful. More than Dev, and the man Lulu was dating; they’re dead. He says, only Jason was supposed to be there. it was supposed to be empty. She says, the place was packed with people. Why did he leave the bomb there? Why didn’t he throw it in the harbor? He says Cyrus didn’t give him a choice, but she says they always have choices, even when they’re backed into a corner. He says, like she did when she shot Connie Falconari?
At the hospital, Laura asks Nikolas if there’s any improvement. Nikolas says, Patrick and Griff were called, and concurred with Lucas’s diagnosis. There’s nothing they can do but wait and hope. Laura says, it’s not that she doesn’t trust Lucas, but she was hoping Patrick or Griff knew of a new way to deal with what’s happening with Lulu. Nikolas says, they send their regards, and tells her that he can reach out to Elizabeth. Maybe she knows where to find Lucky. Laura says, this can’t wait. They have to make a decision about his sister. She looks into Lulu’s room, and sees Dante with Lulu.
Alexis rings the bell at the Quartermaines, and Ned is surprised to see her. She says, Olivia invited her. She would have brought wine, but thought that would be inappropriate. Olivia welcomes Alexis, and thanks her for coming. She tells Ned that she asked Alexis to join them, and to take her coat. Olivia leaves, and Ned asks what in the world made Alexis think this was a good idea? She says his wife wouldn’t take no for an answer, and it would have been more suspicious if she’d turned Olivia down. He says, no offense, but can she stay sober? The doorbell rings, and Alexis says she won’t drink anything she doesn’t have to. Robert comes in, saying, happy Thanksgiving, and Ned says, another surprise guest. Olivia asks for his help in the kitchen, and he asks if she invited the entire city. She asks what he thinks about Alexis and Robert. They’re both members of the Lonely Hearts Club this year, and she thought they could celebrate Thanksgiving by doing some matchmaking.
Epiphany tells Sasha, the drugs increased her heart rate to the point of her having a heart attack. She hopes Sasha realizes the severity of what happened, and relies on her support system next time. Sasha asks, what support system? She has no family. Epiphany says Michael sat by her bed the whole night.
Willow tells Michael, when she realized Chase was telling her the truth, she had to walk out. She’s not ready to talk about it. What about him? Has he talked to Sasha? He says the medication Sasha was given kept her asleep. Olivia tells them to come on. Thanksgiving punch is being served. They join the others.
Sonny asks Sam how the family is, and she says, aside from her mother, who she doesn’t want to talk about, Scout is too young to understand anything that’s going on, and Danny is taking it in stride. Carly says, Josslyn is the same way. She’s devastated about Dev, but lockdowns are normal for her. Sonny says, what a way to celebrate Thanksgiving, and Carly says, she doesn’t understand how Cyrus knew Jason was in The Floating Rib. Jason guesses he wasn’t careful enough, and Sam says Jason was in the MetroCourt when he said he was going to The Rib to play pool with Danny. He says, Cyrus wasn’t around, but someone maybe someone on staff at the MetroCourt overheard him. Carly says, Trish just hired a new bartender, Eli. They were going to do a background check on Monday. Sonny asks if Eli is working today, and Carly checks the schedule. She says he’s working from 1 to 9 today, and Sonny says he’s sorry, but he and Jason have to leave. Carly says he’s got to do what he needs to do, and Jason asks Sam if they’re good. She says, sure, but I dunno.
Epiphany tells Sasha that she has a visitor, and Sasha asks if Michael came back. Brando walks in, and Epiphany says she’ll check on Sasha later. She leaves, and Brando asks if Sasha is feeling better. She says, last night is blurry, but she does remember him being there. He says he brought her there after… She says, she OD’d. That’s what Epiphany said, but it still doesn’t make sense. The amount of cocaine she’d have to ingest would be astronomical. (Just for the record, that’s not necessarily true; it can hit anyone wrong at any time.) He says, so she’s been using? and she says she had a rough year. It’s rare, but she’s used it as a pick-me-up. He says, that’s what people with addictions say, and she starts to tell him that she doesn’t… but he says, people like them.
Ava tells Julian not to throw Connie in her face. Her nerves were shot because of him. He had her convinced she had to protect him at all costs. Julian says, it’s late in the game to have a conscience, and she says, that’s the difference between them. She’s grown, and she’s not a weak-minded coward who can’t take responsibility, like him. He says he’s glad they’re parting on good terms. She says she’s got to go see her husband, and find out if he has news on the sister Julian put in the hospital. Keep packing. She wants him out by dawn.
Dante tells Lulu that she needs to wake up. He hasn’t had a chance to tell her how sorry he is. Laura comes in, and asks if he’d mind some company, and he tells her that she should be in there, but Laura says she actually wanted to have a conversation with him about Lulu’s treatment. She’s legally the next of kin, but Dante is Lulu’s husband and Rocco’s father. She feels he has the right to have a say. He thanks her, and asks, what are their options? She says, Lulu isn’t supposed to wake up any time soon, and Dante starts to cry. She says as much as she appreciates GH, maybe it’s not the right place for Lulu’s medical care. He asks what she’s saying. She wants to send Lulu away? Is she giving up on her daughter?
Olivia says Alexis and Robert have a lot in common, and Robert says, they do? She says, they’re both lawyers, and Alexis says, not anymore. Robert says he’s heard Molly is a superstar at PCU, and she’s going to be a lawyer, and Alexis says maybe Molly will throw it all away and be a secret agent for 40 years, then make it a retirement hobby. Olivia laughs, and says Alexis is so funny. She has to check on the turkey. Robert gets up, and says he’s got to check on… something. By the punch bowl in the foyer, Robert asks Olivia what she’s doing, and she says he’s her friend, and Alexis is Ned’s friend; she thought they’d hit it off. He says, in all the time he’s lived there, he and Alexis have never exchanged two words. Olivia says, excuse her for trying to expand his social prospects. She was trying to be a good friend.
Ned tells Alexis, it’s nice to see her not drinking, but the more they’re around each other, the greater the chance Olivia will find out the truth. She asks if he thinks she’s going to bust into a cabinet, and start drinking the booze, but he says, there’s noticeable awkwardness. He’s glad his mother didn’t show up. Alexis says, they need to act normal. They have a long-standing friendship. If they don’t act like it, it will be suspicious, and someone will think something did happen between them. Robert stands in the doorway.
Sasha tells Brando, she barely knows him, and he’s telling her that he has a substance abuse problem. She’ll take his word for it, but not everyone who uses is an addict. She was just blowing off steam. (Amusing choice of words.) He says he’s not trying to judge, but from his past experience, he doesn’t think he’s wrong. He recognizes the warning signs. She says she gets it. Being in the hospital isn’t a good look. She just had too much last night. He says that’s not what he’s talking about. He’s seen her when she’s with Cyrus. She’s constantly going to the bathroom, and comes out sniffling. It’s becoming a nasty habit. She didn’t even ask what was in the bag; if it was cocaine or something stronger. He’s not trying to shame her, but he’s saying this because he’s been there. When he returned home from his tour, he wasn’t in a good place either, and also felt he needed something to take the edge off. A little something here, a little something there, and eventually… She says, it catches up to you.
Ava finds Nikolas at the hospital, and says, he’s been there all night? Lulu’s injuries didn’t seem that serious. Why hasn’t she been discharged? He apologizes for not calling, and says, they didn’t think it was serious. They thought it was just a headache, but her brain was swelling the whole time. Lulu was talking to Dante in the chapel, and collapsed. Ava asks, how bad is it? and he says, the doctors don’t know if she’ll wake up again. She says she’s so sorry, and he says they reached out to Patrick and Griff, but they confirmed Lucas’s diagnosis. Lulu just wasn’t as lucky as Franco. She says, Franco was at The Floating Rib? and he says, and Elizabeth and Cameron. Ava sits, and asks if they’re okay. He says, Elizabeth is fine, thankfully. Cameron has a leg injury, and will be fine, unlike Dev who died. Whoever did this has so much blood on their hands… He totally forgot to make arrangements for her brother, and tells her, sit tight. He’ll figure something out. Ava says let her worry about her brother.
Alexis tells Ned that she has no interest in blowing up his life. They see Robert, and Alexis says, time to refill her club soda. Ned says Robert might not know it, but their family Thanksgiving gatherings can be eventful. Robert says he doesn’t know what he stumbled into, but Olivia is his friend. If Ned hurts her, Robert swears Ned will still be in a wheelchair at Christmas. They hear Olivia yelling, and rush out into the foyer. Ned says, that doesn’t sound good, and Olivia says she was so distracted, she put the turkey in the oven at the wrong temperature. It’s like a charcoal briquet. Ned says, no one is hurt; it’s all fine, but she says, nothing is fine. Lulu is in the hospital, and might never wake up. Rocco may never have another conversation with his mother. Dante and Rocco are practically strangers, and now this. The one thing her son asked her for, a traditional Thanksgiving, and she screwed it up. It’s ruined. Monica says they haven’t cooked a successful turkey since the 90s. Olivia is sticking with tradition. If that’s what she wanted, she did a bang-up job. She says, they all know what they have to do next, and where they need to be,
Laura tells Dante, she’ll never give up. She’ll never stop hoping and praying that Lulu will come back, but the truth is, they’re done everything they can do there. They need to look into a long-term care facility, where doctors and nurses know how to deal with this. He says he just wants time with lulu. He wasted so much time. Please, can he have that? Laura leaves, and he kisses Lulu’s forehead.
Eli finds Sonny and Jason on the terrace, and tells them, sorry. The terrace is closed for the holidays. Jason says, they’re not there for a meal. Sonny says, they need answers, and Eli is going to give them to him and Jason.
Carly gives Sam something to drink, saying, she knows Sam is shaken up. Sam says she thought Jason and Danny were dead, and Carly says she’s so sorry. Sam says it was probably the most horrific hour of her life. She’s grateful Jason and Danny weren’t there, but she can’t stop thinking about Dev. He was so young, and had his whole life ahead of him, and now he’s gone. Carly says, it’s awful, and Sam says, it is. Carly told her Josslyn is used to growing up like this, and it breaks her heart. She doesn’t want that to happen to Scout, and Danny is old enough to understand now. This is a nightmare that will affect him in ways she can’t help. Carly says she gets it. They take chances with their lives they can’t imagine taking with their children. But Sam knew this was the life Jason lived when she chose to have Danny, like she knew about Sonny every time she married him. Fear is part of the deal, and they have to live with it. Sam says, what if she can’t live with it anymore?
Sasha tells Brando, she didn’t go looking for this. She was upset about the break-up, and got drunk. She overslept the day of the big Deception photo shoot, and Maxie freaked out when she saw how bad Sasha looked. Someone pulled her aside, and gave her something to get through it, and it worked. She had energy, and the photos turned out great. He says, in the short term, but then it becomes a way of life, and you depend on it more and more. That’s how the drugs work. Sasha says she’s not an addict, and he says she gave herself a heart attack and ended up in the hospital. Is she scared straight, or is she calling her dealer when she gets home? She asks why he’s spending Thanksgiving with her, and he says she’s the only one he can help right now.
Laura tells Nikolas that Dante actually said she was giving up on her daughter, and he hopes she set Dante straight. He shouldn’t even have a say. She says, he’s Rocco’s father, and it’s better if it doesn’t become a fight. They see Dante, and Nikolas tells Laura that he’ll talk to him, but she says, no. Epiphany comes out, and says, the mayor has visitors. Everyone from the Quartermaines joins her, and Laura cries.
Dante asks what Olivia is doing there, and she says, it’s where they should have been. Monica says, it’s not just about food, and Alexis says, it’s about family. Michael says, not just the family they’re born not, but those they choose to make a part of their lives. Ned asks, where else would they be? So…? He hugs Laura.
Sasha asks how many people were at The Floating Rib, and Brando says, quite a few, including Dev, the son he never knew existed until a few months ago. The son he never imagined would be a part of his life, and now he’s gone. She says she’s so sorry. He should be with family, not there. They should be grieving together. He says he can’t deal with that, but he can help someone who needs it. She says, if someone said they wanted to help her, they could help her do some laps. How about it? He says, how many laps?
Michael asks how Dante is holding up, and Dante says, Laura wants to send Lulu to a long-term care facility, but it feels wrong to him. Michael says he knows it seems that way at first, but moving her to a facility like that is what she needs. His parents were in a similar situation with him, and it broke their hearts, but they made the right choice. He got the special care he needed, and when he woke up from his coma, he was able to leave and lead a normal life. Dante says he gets it, but it feels like they’re giving up on Lulu. Michael says he knows, but they both know Laura well enough to know she’d never give up on Lulu, and he knows Dante won’t either.
Sam tells Carly, forget what she said, but Carly says, don’t do that. Sam is scared and needs to talk, and Carly is there listening. Sam says she hasn’t been able to catch her breath for the last 24 hours. She’s accepted the violence that goes with Jason’s life, but this is different. Danny almost died. She can’t get used to it. What if next time somebody tries to kill Jason, she, Danny, and Scout are with him? When she first became a mother, she wasn’t involved with Sonny’s world at all. Then she got engaged to Patrick. None of that made her miss Jason less, but for the first time in her life, she wasn’t running a con. She wasn’t married to the mob, or looking over her shoulder. Part of that made her feel normal. She liked Dev.
Eli tells Jason, easy. He doesn’t know what they want. Jason punches him in the stomach, and twists Eli’s arm around behind his back. He says Eli was working last night, and was close enough to hear him say he was going to The Floating Rib. Did he pass it along to Cyrus? Eli says he doesn’t know Cyrus, and Jason says, a guy in a suit with a ponytail. Did Eli tell him that Jason was going to be at The Floating Rib? Eli says, yeah, and Sonny pounds on Eli’s head with his finger, asking if he was paid to do anything else. Eli says, make a call to some guy, and pass on the message to drop off a package at The Floating Rib.
Sasha sees Willow with Michael, and tells Brando, last year at this time, that was her. She says she’s had enough exercise, and wants to go back to her room. Dante apologizes to Laura, saying, he was completely out of line. It’s a lot to process. She says she understands how he feels, and he says she’s right. Of course (🍷) they’ve got to do what’s best for Lulu’s care. He takes Laura’s hands, and says he wants her to know he’ll never stop loving Lulu. Laura says she knows that, and he goes back to Lulu’s room.
Monica asks for a moment. It’s Thanksgiving, but they’re here because a friend, family member, and member of their community is hurting, so she thinks a group prayer is in order. Everyone bows their heads, and Monica says, these last few days have been senseless and tragic. They’ve lost people too quickly, but have to remember to give thanks for what they do have. They have faith that things will get better; they have hope that their wounds will heal. They have the trust and support of those around them, and each other to lean on, and of course (🍷) have faith in God. Amen. Laura hugs Monica, and says she’s so lucky. Ned comes in with a load of pizzas, and Olivia says, it’s not the Thanksgiving dinner she’d promised… and Ned says, but it is keeping with tradition. Laura says, it’s perfect, and thanks them. Tracy walks in, and says, not so fast. First we sing, then we eat. Laura and I cry, and Laura hugs Tracy, thanking her.
Sam tells Carly, she feels like her loyalty to Jason is in competition with her instincts to be Scout and Danny’s mother. Carly says she’s been there so many times. This life has so many ups and downs. There are good times, but there are dangers; it comes with the territory. Sam says she knows. That’s why she can’t sleep at night.
Eli tells Sonny and Jason, he just thought he was making a few extra bucks. He had no idea the package was a bomb. Jason asks who he called, and he says he doesn’t know; just some guy. Jason tells him to give them the phone, and Sonny takes it. He scrolls through and calls a number back. He hears the outgoing message say he’s reached Julian Jerome. He says, son of a bitch. (Sonny’s go-to curse phrase.)
Julian zips up his bag, when Ava walks in. He says she’s back sooner than he expected. She says, we need to have a talk, big brother. She holds a gun behind her back.
I just have to mention, after months of a mess on his head, Julian’s hair finally looks good. Now he’s leaving.
Tomorrow, Valentin fires Martin, Julian says Ava is choosing Nikolas over her own brother, Sonny says Julian has pushed him too far, and Laura slaps someone.
Below Deck
Shane sleeps while everyone else gets ready for charter. In Eddie’s interview, he says, WTF? It’s like a slap in the face to him and the team. He’s lost all respect for Shane, and he’s not even wasting energy to wake him up or scold him. Francesca warns Rachel that Captain Lee is coming, but I missed the warning system she has. He goes to the galley, and shows them a picture his wife sent of the two of them when they were younger, captioned, your favorite stew, so you don’t forget. He tells them that Maryann was his chief stew, and he got her into yachting. We see another photo of them, and in Rachel’s interview, she says she travels a lot, and understands. The captain says his wife is quite a lady, and Rachel tells Francesca that she misses her dude.
James says he doesn’t even check out Izzy’s ass anymore. Rachel calls boyfriend Vincenzo to say she misses and loves him. He says he misses her too. It’s time for the preference sheet meeting, and the captain says primary Tim is a trial attorney. He’ll be joined by his wife Beth, and three other couples. He’s celebrating his 50th with a multi-course dinner, including beluga caviar and a live steel drum band. (It’s not clear whether they want to listen to the band or eat them.) They want a beach barbecue picnic, and a lot rests on Rachel. In Rachel’s interview, she says, these guests seem refreshing. They’re her spirit animal. We flash back to the last charter, where she served the guests lobster, and they wanted more Jell-O shots. Captain Lee says, the service has to match the menu. They also want the dreaded slide.
In the morning, James puts Nutella and chocolate syrup on his toast. Bleh. For dessert, yeah, but I can’t do that kind of thing in the morning. Eddie tells Shane to clean the waterline, and if he scratches his leg, clean it out good. Francesca wants Elizabeth to organize the pantry, and can’t understand why Elizabeth is so messy. Eddie tells Izzy about Shane claiming he wants to improve, yet he found Shane napping. James admits to being body conscious, and in his interview, says he was quiet as a kid, and felt like a loser. He went to the gym, and cracked jokes because he wanted to be heard. Elizabeth tells him, it’s nice to have someone to talk to about sh*t. Rachel suggests printing wine menus along with the food menus, and goes over the food with Francesca. In Francesca’s interview, she says Rachel’s sense of humor is R rated, and hers is more refined. Whatever it was went over my head, since I don’t know what she’s talking about. James does exercises on deck. Izzy tells Shane, initiative plus drive, and Shane asks Eddie what needs help with. Eddie tells Rachel about Shane wearing a sleep mask (he calls it an eye patch) with do not disturb on it. He says he can’t. He’s at the end of his line.
Rachel says she didn’t know Shane was sleeping and sh*t. Izzy tries to show Shane knots, and in Shane’s interview, he says he’s ready to show the crew that he can do his job, but his head is in a tornado. He tries to remember the rabbit hole story Izzy told him to help remember how to make the knot, and says he’s going to do it a million times tonight. Everyone goes to bed
In Shane’s interview, he says he’s a perfectionist, and Eddie not being happy with him is a bummer. Confidence comes from failure, so he’s pretty confident. The next morning, Shane tells James that he slept with his shammy in his bed. Francesca tells the stews that she wants to work on streamlining service more. Everything looks messy at the moment. She tells Elizabeth that she’d like the pantry done now. She doesn’t want to see a mess; they’ll be able to work better. In Elizabeth’s interview, she says she thinks she can’t please Francesca, and it’s personal. A producer asks if she’s not really messy, and Elizabeth says she’s like a messy artist. Rachel asks Elizabeth, what’s wrong? but she says, nothing. Shane asks Eddie how he can help, and Eddie tells him, the list is on the wall. He says, Shane has told him a few times that he wants to go the distance, and Shane says he does. Eddie is going to see him in action. Eddie says he hopes so.
Elizabeth and Ashling clean the pantry, and in her interview, Ashling says she feels like she’s in between two pieces of bread. It’s so awkward. She can’t pick a side, or sh*t will hit the fan. Eddie tells them, provisions are here, and everything is brought in. Guest face towels are prepared, and Elizabeth shows Ashling the red tiger eye she carries for confidence. In her interview, Ashling supposes everybody’s different. It’s a half hour until the guests’ arrival, and the crew gets into their whites. Izzy frets over her camel toe, and the captain asks if she’s all right. When she explains, he says, alrighty then, having not expected TMI.
The guests arrive. When Izzy introduces herself, Tim says he’s easy too. Captain Lee says they’re going to get the party started quick. Francesca will give them a tour, they’ll get the luggage on board, and get out of Dodge. Francesca gives the tour, and I’m loving the cushion/pillow colors; very 60s with turquoise, green, and gold. Francesca tells the guests, a cheese board is coming, and puts Ashling on laundry. The boat heads out to Five Island Harbour. Francesca tells the guests that they’re going to anchor and have lunch relatively soon. Izzy says she’s so ready to drop anchor, since it’s her first time as deckhand, and Francesca tells Elizabeth to set the table, but not put out the wine glasses yet. Captain Lee tells the guests that this is the most protected area, and they ask if he’ll join them for dinner tomorrow. In Rachel’s interview, she says the guests are awesome in her eyes. They’re into food and wine, and that’s up her alley. She’s making an amazing, marinated snow crab that can’t fail. She plates it weird, in a crescent shape on the plate, and the guests wonder if something is missing. They also think it’s fake crab. In Francesca’s interview, she wonders on what super yacht they would serve fake crab. What an idiot. She tells Rachel, who says, it’s one of the most expensive seafoods you can have. I’d throw the shells at them as proof.
The water toys are put in, and some of the guests jump off the boat. Primary Tim takes a nap, and Francesca tells Elizabeth, when she’s finished, prep for dinner. In Elizabeth’s interview, she says she’s getting a negative vibe from Francesca. Eddie asks Ashling how day one is, and Ashling says she feels fab. A guest asks if they have a call button, but that’s a no. I can just imagine if they did. Elizabeth calls friend Ana, and says she’s trying to reset. She doesn’t appreciate the way things are said, and Ana tells her, don’t let anyone psych her out. In her interview, Rachel says she’s not happy. The guests didn’t like lunch, so she’s going big for dinner with herb crusted lamb, brioche, and foie gras. It’s dark out, and the guests look at some fish below that might be sharks. One of them wants to jump in and catch one, but as much fun as it would be to see a shark eat him, lucky for him, another guest stops him. In Shane’s interview, he says when he was in high school, he sat in the front, and had all the answers. He’s smart, and doesn’t know why doing this job makes him feel insecure. He’s a perfectionist, so he’s motivated to accomplish the job, but he doesn’t know how to get there. He writes in his journal.
At dinner, a guest is wearing some God-awful pants that look like the American flag. Beth says, it’s amazing, and they’re not going to want to go home. In Rachel’s interview, she says she thought the guests would be refined, but Tim is pretty wasted; it’s embarrassing. Yes it is, because he has to go to bed before dinner even happens. Beth tells him to make sure he comes to his birthday party. Rachel says, the primary hasn’t even touched his food. It’s annoying since she tried to make his food preferences come alive, and he’s done. The tiniest flan in the world is served for dessert, and the guests go to bed. James does crunches in his cabin, and Shane finishes up on deck.
Eddie finds that Shane left the garage door open, and in his interview, says, it’s basic sh*t. You lock your house when you leave. He keeps repeating, today is a good effing day, while on his way to deal with Shane, but Shane is still in bed. In Francesca’s interview, she says Ashling is thinking like her. She has a go-getter attitude, which is what Francesca needs in a stew – to be more like her. Francesca tells Ashling that she’ll be going to the beach. Eddie says, it’s slide time, and explains the set-up to James. Francesca calls the provisioner, and says they’re having a white party, and need a steel drum band. The slide is the usual pain in the ass to set up, and Francesca tells Elizabeth to do the cabins. Eddie tells Shane that he didn’t close the garage door. In his interview, Eddie says he can’t be too aggressive. He knows the kind of guy Shane is, and his chakras will be out of whack, so Eddie is tiptoeing around him. James tests the slide, and the other toys are put in the water. Francesca tells Tim, happy birthday, and Rachel pushes waffles for breakfast.
Shane outs himself to the captain, telling him about leaving the door open. Captain Lee asks if Shane doesn’t shut the door when he leaves the house. Shane wanders off, and the captain says, dumbass, which about sums it up. Tim skips breakfast, since he doesn’t usually eat in the morning. The crew gets ready for the picnic, and Eddie drives Shane and Ashling over to the beach. In her interview, Rachel says, she’s pressed for time, and has a beach picnic. She loves it. It’s also the primary’s 50th, and he’s requested a multi-course tasting menu. The tender is unloaded at the beach, and they start to set up. Izzy asks if Ashling is single, and she says she is. In Elizabeth’s interview, she says she feels badly about not being part of the beach picnic. She feels like Francesca isn’t happy with her, and Ashling is perfect, and it’s not fair.
Rachel gets the food platters ready for the beach. Francesca radios, asking for two pina coladas, but Rachel says, f*** that. She needs a hand getting stuff in the tender. In her interview, she says the lack of communication with her blows her mind. She doesn’t care what they need do. They need to make sure this sh*t gets schlepped TF out.
Francesca goes with the food, to expedite things. She says she wants to go swimming, but meanwhile, in the galley, Rachel wants to punch someone in the face. Eddie goes back for the guests, and Francesca takes pictures of the table. When the guests arrive, she welcomes Tim to his 50th birthday beach extravaganza. The guests are amazed, and declare food amazing, since this is apparently the only descriptive word they know. Some guests do snorkeling, while others jet ski, and the rest lounge around. Izzy asks if Shane happy, and he says he’s more prepared. In his interview, he says he knows he messed up incredibly, and has to step up his game and work hard. Eddie thinks he’s dumber than he actually is, so it’s frustrating. Ashling radios Eddie, telling him, the guests are ready to be picked up.
Francesca goes over the menu with Rachel, who says she’s going to bed after dinner, and crying. The beach is cleaned up, Shane being sure to scold them for not using paper straws. I have to say, I’m with him on this, since I live near a beach, and it’s horrible how many wash up. Eddie asks Izzy how she’s doing, and she says she’s dirty and messy, but good. Rachel looks for the caviar, and can only find salmon roe. She tells Francesca about it, and in her interview, Rachel says, the primary specifically said something about wanting it, and she’s going to lose her sh*t. Shane asks if she’s okay, and she tells him to keep moving; she’s not joking. She’s going to punch someone in the scrotum.
Alrighty then.
Next time, the captain joins the guests for dinner, Shane’s phone dies, and Captain Lee calls Shane to the bridge for a conversation. Shane looks scared.
🛥 So sorry. A little Deck confusion on my part last night. I thought there wasn’t going to be a new one, so good thing I double-checked. For whatever reason, it was listed, but there was no blurb, and my mind must have registered it as no show. Maybe it was too much Thanksgiving food. That’s my story anyway, and I’m sticking to it.
