What I Watched Today

(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

The Walking Dead

Judith’s voiceover says, the world is dark and broken, but we’re not. Not yet. We stare into the face of death every day, until one day, that face is our own. How do we come back from that? My dad wanted mercy to prevail. If we lose that, we lose everything.

Negan and the others work clearing the tracks, as Nameless Boss watches. Kelly signs to Magna that there are two around the perimeter, and four inside. Princess tells Ezekiel, that’s Tyler Davis from the rail yard, and he asks if that isn’t the guy who took Max hostage. She tells him, she didn’t say she liked it, but he’s got balls. Ezekiel watches him, and Magna tells Negan, two on the perimeter, four inside. Negan writes something on the back of the map, and looks around. Ezekiel walks over, and says, the map. A trooper tells Annie to move, and diverts Negan’s focus. Negan walks over, and asks what a person has to do to get a break. The trooper asks what he said, calling him prisoner, but Negan says, not for him; for his wife. The trooper says, the Commonwealth doesn’t  recognize any unions here, but Negan says he’s not talking about the Commonwealth. He’s talking about the trooper. Another trooper comes over, and asks if there’s a problem. The first trooper says, just a prisoner mouthing off, and needing to be reminded of his place. Annie runs over to them, but the trooper knocks her down. She pops back up, and struggles with him, but the second trooper gets Negan down and holds a gun to his face.

Daryl and Carol watch from a distance.

Aaron, Jerry, Elijah, and Lydia have stopped the wagon to kill a zombie. Aaron tells them to stay alert. They don’t know if this is a one-time thing, or there are more of those things out here. He hears something, and Lydia says, it’s a human, not a walker. Aaron tells Lydia and Elijah to stay and protect the wagon. He and Jerry draw their swords, and walk toward the sound. Aaron says, come out now, and Luke and Jules appear. There are hugs all around, and Aaron says, it’s a pleasant surprise. They already know Lydia, and he introduces Elijah. He tells Luke and Jules, they were head to Oceanside if they want to join, but Luke says, it’s gone. Some guys in white gear showed up. Aaron says, the Commonwealth, and Julies says, they took over. Aaron says, they made a deal with the Commonwealth, but Jerry says, the deal must have changed because they’re being tracked. Jules says, if they’re found, they’re dead, and Luke suggests getting as far away as possible.

On the stand, Pamela says, it was the worst day of her life. Her trusted colleague Mercer was with her, and took her to the morgue. All she wanted was to hold her son, to keep him safe, but he was gone. There was nothing she could do. She cries, and says, Eugene took him from her. Eugene killed her boy, and this murderer needs to pay. There are rumblings from the gallery, and Yumiko objects, asking that it be stricken from the record, but the judge says, denied. Eugene tells Yumiko that there’s nothing they can do to dissuade the judge, who is a proverbial brick wall. Yumiko says, it’s not the judge they have to get to; it’s the people. Eugene looks at Max, and Yumiko gets up. She asks Pamela to tell them about the lottery. What does it mean to her? Pamela says, it means opportunity; hope for a better future. Yumiko says, or it’s a lie – there are murmurs from the crowd – just like Pamela’s son said. The prosecution objects, and the judge sustains it. Yumiko says, yes or no? It was on the recording; they all heard it. There’s a reaction from the gallery again, and Yumiko says, answer the question, governor. Pamela says, that wasn’t her son. She knows his voice, and that’s not it. The tape has been altered. Yumiko asks if Pamela actually expects them to believe it was altered. That someone… Pamela says, not someone; Yumiko’s client. He admitted that he played it, and caused chaos; not her son. A woman yells, free Eugene!

Daryl tells Maggie, it’s bad. He doesn’t think they’ll all make it. Carol says, they saw the adults, but not the kids, and Maggie says, they have to go in. Daryl says, they can’t, but Gabriel says, the Commonwealth turned their home into a prison after they promised to give it back. Daryl signs to Connie, you and me, down sh*t tunnel, and Connie signs that she’s going with Daryl. Daryl says, they’re going down into the sewer. Rosita wants to come, but Carol says, since she’s a sharpshooter, she should stay. They can keep in touch by radio. Maggie, Connie, Daryl, and Carol leave.

Ezekiel sees Tyler at mealtime, and he and Negan sit by him. Ezekiel says he knows Tyler stood up to Pamela, and wonders if Tyler wants out as much as they do. Tyler says he wants to live, but Negan says, this is not living; they’re barely surviving. Ezekiel says, they can take control, but Tyler asks if he doesn’t think it’s been tried. The same thing always happens; people who shouldn’t die, do. They have two choices; survival or that. They got a taste of it today. Try this, and they all die. Ezekiel says, or try it, and they all live. They’ve only got each other. If they lose faith in that and the idea they can change this – two troopers walk in – they’re as good as dead anyway. The troopers go over to Negan, and tell him, get up. He says, nope. Not until they tell him where his wife is. The grab him and take him out. Tyler tells Ezekiel, you’re on your own.

Negan is taken to a room where he’s told to sit. Nameless Boss tells a trooper – the same one who Negan asked for a break – that his transfer has been denied. The trooper says, his brother is sick, and Nameless Boss says, then the trooper should have told him directly instead of going around him and asking for a transfer. His duty’s been extended for six months. Negan sees the trooper make a fist, and the wheels turn in his head. Nameless Boss tells Negan they found this after Negan tussled with the guards, and hands him the map. Negan says, cool, and Nameless Boss says, what is it? Negan says, a poor man’s tic-tac-toe? He doesn’t know. Nameless Boss says, someone is keeping track of the guards; when they come and go, and how many are on a shift. Negan asks what that has to do with him, and Nameless Boss says, when the prisoners got here, he thought Negan was a leader, but he has other priorities. Real leaders cut themselves off from others because of what they do. Other people don’t have the stomach for it, and the ones that do are the real threats. There’s a threat in their midst, and he thinks it’s one of Negan’s people. Negan says, other than his wife, all these people hate him. He doesn’t know anything. Nameless Boss says he bets Negan can find out, and Negan says he bets he can’t. He hands back the map, and Nameless Boss says, that’s not really an option. Unless he’d rather not see his pregnant wife again.

A trooper lets Negan in to see Annie, and he sits on the bed. He asks if she’s okay, and not hurt, and she says she thinks he got the worst of it. He asks, how’s the little one? and she says, the baby kicked her so hard, she almost rolled off the bed. He says, going to be a badass like their mama, and Annie says, they’re going get out. He says, he knows; he’s working on it. She asks if that’s what he was doing on the tracks; working it his way. He tells her, old habits die hard, and she says, they can’t. They have to get to safety. He says he’d never risk them. Don’t worry. She says, that bad, huh? and he laughs. He says he’s known men like Nameless Boss his whole life. He used to be him. She says, no wonder everyone hated him, and he says, no sh*t. He’ll handle him. She says, sure. If she doesn’t do it first.

Daryl and Connie drop down into the sewer and look around with flashlights. He signs, is she okay? and she says, so-so. Is he okay? He says he’s good, and Carol radios that she and Maggie are good. Daryl says, them too, and signs to Connie that Maggie and Carol are here too. She signs, this will work? and he says, yes. They walk into an adjoining tunnel. In another area, Maggie removes the grating to the street.

Maggie and Carol sneak into one of their old houses, and go upstairs. A trooper is patrolling, and they stay out of sight. They hear him coming their way, and ambush him, Carol whacking him in the head with the butt of her gun. They drag him away.

Luke tells the others that they were behind the houses. He wanted to stay and fight, but Rachel wasn’t having any of it. He said, no way they were leaving them there, but she insisted they go, and warn everybody; tell them what’s coming. Jules says, they haven’t seen them since, and Luke says, they should have stayed. Jerry says, he found them, and now he has them. Aaron says, they were heading to Alexandria, and Lydia says, troopers are coming. They duck down, and Elijah says, they can’t outrun them. A bunch of zombies are headed for them on the other side, and Lydia looks at a body nearby. We all know what she’s thinking.

In his cell, the crowd chanting outside, Eugene says, Yumiko’s nerves mystify him. Does she hear what he hears? She got through to them. Yumiko says, that was the point, but there are still troopers doing Pamela’s bidding. If the troopers aren’t on their side, it doesn’t matter. Eugene says, she’s inspired an uprising, but she says, it might not be fast enough. Max asks if she’s saying they might lose, and Yumiko says she doesn’t think the people can stop it. Max asks, what happens next? and puts her hand on Eugene’s through the bars. Eugene says, perhaps this time they should accept the situation he finds himself in, but Max says, no. Eugene says, they knew this could come, and probably would come. He tears up, and says, they must prepare… if he’s declared guilty… let the troopers escort him to his… He starts to cry, and Yumiko says, Max’s brother commands respect here. If Max can get him on their side and to admit Pamela is corrupt in public… Max says, if he was going to, he would have when Princess was taken, and Yumiko asks if he knows. Pamela silos people off against each other. Eugene asks if Max thinks she could talk to Mercer, but she says, his men won’t let her near his office. Yumiko says, he might talk to her.

Mercer radios his men about a rendezvous, and walks into his office to find Yumiko. He says, she shouldn’t be here, and she says she came to convince him to do the right thing. He says, she should leave. He’s sure she doesn’t want to be late for the judge. She says, it doesn’t matter. They’re going to lose; she knows that. The man who Mercer’s sister loves is going to die, and her other friends might die too. Pamela’s men took them God knows where. Princess is with them. He says he knows, and Yumiko says she doesn’t believe he doesn’t care, and neither does his sister. She needs him to testify against Pamela in public to save Eugene. He says, doing what she’s asking won’t change a thing, but she says, people seeing him speak truth to power will. He says he has to get back, and she storms out.

Maggie and Carol hide in a janitorial closet with the unconscious trooper. Maggie peeks out at the troopers getting ready. She tells Carol that she hears Herschel’s voice; I want to be better. I want to do better. Sometimes she thinks it wasn’t fair to bring him into this world. Was she being selfish? Carol hugs her, and says, no. After Sophia and Henry, she felt that way, but she doesn’t believe it’s selfish to miss them and want them to come back. Maggie agrees, and Carol says, Maggie will try to make the world better because of him; that’s hope. They will find him.

Negan and Ezekiel shovel dirt, and Ezekiel asks if Negan is going to tell him what happened with the warden (i.e. Nameless Boss). Negan says he got put on latrine duty, and Ezekiel tells him not to go rouge again. They needed that map. Negan says he doesn’t really need to hear that sh*t again, and Ezekiel says, because he agreed to work with Negan, Negan thinks they’re friends now, but they’re not. He hasn’t forgotten for one minute what Negan took. Henry and his brother Benjamin were his family, and apologizing changes nothing, not for him. If it works out, and they get out of here, Negan doesn’t deserve a brand new life. He damn sure doesn’t deserve to be a father. Negan says he will be a father. Ezekiel can go ahead and live in the past. You do you, and I’ll do me, and you know what? I’m gonna do it for my kid. Negan walks away.

Nameless Boss gets up, and says, so. You got a name for me? Negan stands in front of him.

Outside, a zombie is tangled in vines, and Connie signs to Daryl, what’s going on? He stabs it in the head, and he signs, she’s scared too? She nods, puts her hand on his shoulder, and they move forward.

The judge thanks the prosecutor for him closing remarks, and says, they’re to be entered into public record. She asks if the defense rests, and Eugene says he’d like to address the court. Yumiko starts to protest, but he says, please, and the judge says she’ll allow it. He gets up, and says, the way he sees it, he was living on borrowed time for the past decade. Someone like him should have met their Maker on the first day the world fell apart. And he would have, if not for the aid of friends. Friends who have not only changed him, but the hearts and minds of so many others beyond here. He’s certain his fate won’t discourage them from keeping that going, and helping others find the courage to do what’s right. We see Mercer’s reaction off and on throughout Eugene’s speech. Eugene says, he was not always a good man. He fell in with a posse who thrived on downright unseemly acts, and he looked the other way. He valued order and safety above all other things. Then he realized, even though he wasn’t the one swinging the bat, nevertheless, he had blood on his hands. He knew his inaction made him culpable, and he hated himself. Then he did something in his own little way that changed the world. He learned that one person can do that. Sometimes all it takes is one person to do that. Thank you. That is all. He sits, and Yumiko says, the defense rests. In a surprise to no one, the judge says, the Commonwealth finds Eugene guilty of murder in the first degree. There will be a public execution in one hour. Pam is escorted out, and Max watches as Eugene is taken away.

Troopers rouse the railway workers, and tell them to get up and get outside. They move everybody along, and Ezekiel and Annie are both dragged out. Everyone is herded to the windmill, and Nameless Boss says, a traitor is in their in midst. Someone who thinks he’s above the rules. They bring out Negan, who looks pretty beat up, and Nameless Boss says, a prisoner has admitted to spearheading a rebellion. Any co-conspirators will be given the benefit of the doubt. He trusts they weren’t acting of their own free will. Only Negan will be punished, but it’s important they’re all here to see and to remember. Annie breaks away, but a trooper grabs her before she gets to Negan. Negan tells her, it’s okay. He loves her. Nameless Boss tells him to get on his knees. This is what happens when you don’t know your place. (I can hear Minister Mason from Snowpiercer saying, be a shoe!) Annie says, don’t let him. Listen to her. The troopers aim their guns, and Nameless Boss says, ready… aim… There are no martyrs here. He grabs Annie, dragging her up front, and Negan says, that’s not their deal. Nameless Boss says, he’ll feel this punishment, and Negan says, that’s not what he said. Ezekiel looks like he’s going to explode, and Negan says, take him; just him. Nameless Boss says, ready, and Negan sees that same trooper again. He says, you. You have a family. Don’t do this. Please. Nameless Boss repeats, ready, and Ezekiel walks to the front. Negan asks what he’s doing, and Ezekiel says he doesn’t know.

Princess goes up, and one by one, people start joining them, including Tyler. Nameless Boss says, he admires the bravery of the prisoners… Shoot them all. The troopers cock their guns, and Ezekiel says, they don’t have to do this. The world is broken; we don’t have to be. Our favorite trooper puts down his gun, then walks over to Nameless Boss. He’s about to shoot, and another trooper raises his gun, but the first trooper is faster, and kills him. Nameless Boss grabs Kelly, but he suddenly drops to the ground. We’re all like, what just happened? and then we see, Daryl is here!

Maggie hears Hershel yell for help. She kicks in the door to the room his cries are coming from, and Carol shoots the guard before he can react. Maggie asks if Herschel is okay, and he says he is. She hugs him, and Rosita comes in. She asks if Coco is here, but Herschel says he doesn’t know where she is, and Rosita runs out.

A zombie herd walks, Aaron’s group walking with them, using the covered-in-guts method. Jeeps patrol the perimeter of the herd, and shine searchlights into it. The group gravitates together, and a knife is dropped. Somehow, it’s swiftly retrieved, but it’s unclear by who. Or what.

Negan is about to go all Lucille on Nameless Boss, when Rosita runs up, saying, don’t kill him. She grabs Nameless Boss’s collar, and asks where her daughter is. Nameless Boss laughs, and she punches him in the face. She grabs the dead-now-zombie trooper, and drags him over, putting his face a few inches from Nameless Boss’s face. He says, she’ll lose everything, and she lets go of the zombie. Now it’s my turn to laugh as Nameless Boss screams while his eyeballs get pulled from his head.

Eugene is brought into the hall, wearing a hood. He’s walked through a series of hallways, and they stop. A trooper takes his hood off, and he stands in front of Mercer. His handcuffs are removed, and Mercer says, time to f*** sh*t up.

I cheer in my head.

Next time – two episodes left – Negan says, it’s not safe while Pamela is still breathing; Pamela wants to join the search for Eugene; and Mercer talks to Princess.

💭 What a great episode ending. What a great hero Mercer is.

🧛🏽‍♂️ Gives Great Vampire…

This show is so beautifully done, even if sad at times. The sets and costumes alone are worth watching for.

March 16, 2020 – Part Two – Horrible Guests Go Sailing & the Edge

What I Watched Today

(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

 

🚑 For today’s General Hospital, go to:

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

In Madison’s interview, she says, the guests are horrible, and one of their guests threw up. It’s absurd and it’s mayhem. She asks if any of the guest’s guests need help, and tells one of them not to smoke inside the yacht, while Parker cleans up after the sick guest. And let me tell you, it’s gross, and I really appreciate them showing me that just after I ate dinner. In Parker’s interview, he says, it’s bros living it up. He doesn’t care if they’re rowdy. They paid good money to do as they please. I guess he can say this since he wasn’t lifted off the deck by one as if he were a free-weight. The smoke alarm gets set off, and Madison wakes up Byron, saying she’s sorry, like it’s her fault. A guest yells for a sh*tload of tequila. Byron asks, what the hell is going on? and says, this is out of control. One of the guest’s guests asks for a vomit bag, and Byron says he’s going back to bed. In his interview, Parker says he worked in a Russian cigar bar, and every wrong move earned him a slap on the hand. This reminds him of that. Guest Lenny demands more food, and Madison says she can make hummus and veggies. By his reaction, I don’t think he even knows what that is. Captain Glenn joins the fray. In his interview, he says he wants to make sure the guests are having a good time, but there’s a line. Guests can’t abuse the crew or the boat; it won’t be tolerated. Call him Captain Buzzkill, but he’s going to make sure the boat gets back in one piece. He tells the guys that he thinks their friends are ready to go. In Madison’s interview she says, get TF off the boat. The guest’s guests leave on the tender, and one of the guests yells for grilled cheese, extra butter. It’s 4 am, and they finally start going to bed. The DJ packs up, and Madison gives two fingers up in her interview. She says, they can all eat d*ck; they need to be tranquilized. Parker is glad he and Madison were working together. Madison tells Ciara, who’s just getting up, it was a sh*t show, and she had to wake up the captain.

Paget finds food on the walls. Georgia thinks it seemed to go well, since she wasn’t there for the stupidity. Paget asks Ciara about last night, and she says, the captain had to come out, and a girl vomited. He says if the guests want to treat the boat like that, they need to be treated like children. Paget asks if Jenna was working last night, and she mimics one of the guests being demanding. He says the guests don’t talk to the guys like that, and asks if it’s a sexist thing. He needs to ask this??? Jenna says, it’s definitely sexist, and he says they probably come from an industry where women are whores and men are gods. Ciara says she’s still finding glasses everywhere, and Captain Glenn asks if anything else happened after he went back to bed, which is a no. Madison asks Jenna if she can sleep later, and Jenna says that’s fine, but next time, wake her up. In Jenna’s interview, she says she feels bad. She wants to be there to assess the guests, especially when they’re d-bags.

In the crew mess, Georgia tells Paget, the boat has made it apparent how single she is. In her interview, she says, Paget is very cute. Jenna suggests Madison go through the cupboards when there’s time – like now. Captain Glenn puts the engine on, and the anchor is picked up. Madison and Georgia organize the cupboards, and Georgia asks how Jenna prefers it done. Jenna says she doesn’t care, and in her interview, she says, sometimes she feels like she has to explain everything. If you’re going into stewardessing, at the bare minimum you should have good organizing skills. If you can’t do that, you shouldn’t be on the boat.

When the guests get up, their first order of business is to open champagne, and in her interview, Madison says, f***, dude. Adam says, here they come, and can’t believe he’s starting breakfast at three in the afternoon. Jenna wants Madison to make coffee, and radios for her, but by the time she gets there, Jenna has already made the coffee, and tells her to go back to doing turndowns. Madison gripes to Georgia, and in Georgia’s interview, she says she has a relationship with Madison, but wants to maintain one with Jenna. She’s stuck between a rock and a stick of dynamite. Adam says he’s made the fastest breakfast ever. Captain Glenn tells Paget to get the tender ready, and Jenna tells the guests that they’re close to a beach club. They’re definitely down for that, and she says, in the meantime, water sports are available. Guest Marshall asks if drinking is considered a water sport, and the others laugh like it’s a lot funnier than it is. In Jenna’s interview, she says, even if drinking was an Olympic sport, these guys still suck. She tells the captain that the guests want to go to the bar as soon as they can, and Parker says he’ll take them in. In Parker’s interview, he says he’s the director of fun. It’s where he’s most comfortable. He’s funny, caring, and appropriate, and that’s what cool people do. Primary Richie asks if he wants to be in the fraternity, and Parker says he’s the pledge.

Adam tells Jenna, he’s never been so stoked in the galley. In Jenna’s interview, she says, every day, she and Adam get closer. She hates waiting until the next crew night out. It’s hard to be close, and not act on her emotions. Georgia does laundry, and the guests go to shore with Parker and Ciara. One of them sabres a bottle of champagne on the tender. Parker tells Ciara that he’d better stay with them, and she tells him, don’t start drinking. He says if she’s worried, she doesn’t know him.

Madison whines about everything she’s dealing with, and Adam tells her they’re all busting ass. He’s not giving her a cookie every time she does something. Madison says she doesn’t want a cookie, but just say, nice going. She’s doing what she can, and it’s exhausting. In Jenna’s interview, she says, Madison wants a gold star for basic tasks. Adam tells Madison that he promises Jenna’s not that bad, and he’s not just saying that because he wants to bang her. He’s seen a lot worse, and Jenna is a godsend in comparison. Jenna overhears, and tells Madison that she’d prefer Madison talk about any issues with her directly. Madison tells Jenna that she beaten down. In her interview, Jenna says Madison acts nice to her face, then complains behind her back. Jenna tells Adam that she’d never behave like that as a green.

Jenna tells Madison that she knows it’s frustrating, but it’s hard to back Madison up when she gets attitude. Some days, Madison is happy, but other days, Jenna gets eye rolls. Madison feels like there’s no respect for her sometimes, and she doesn’t feel valued. Jenna says she does the best she can, but her primary focus is the guests. She has no time for hand-holding. In her interview, Jenna says, Madison’s energy is exhausting. Madison is like a child, pulling at her, when she has no time to give her attention. In Madison’s interview, she wonders why it’s so hard get any gratitude. She thinks Jenna must have had some sh*tty chief stews to guide and nurture her. The boat is like a beautiful prison.

At the tiki bar, the guests act like the a-holes they are. Paget tells the captain that he’ll clear the water line, while Parker dances around at the bar. In Parker’s interview, he says he thinks he has a line drawn, and he’s being professional. He doesn’t want to just sit and watch them like a bodyguard. Paget scrubs at the boat, and Parker radios they’re on their way back. Jenna reminds Adam about the caviar tasting the guests’ requested, and asks the guests what they were thinking about doing tonight. One of them says, getting more effed up and partying, and another dude steps on a piece of glass, which was inevitable. The party guy pours champagne on the cut. In Paget’s interview, he says, every time they sabre a bottle of champagne, glass goes flying. Just open it normally, and drink it like a normal person. He’s trying not to laugh. You deserved that because you’re a nobhead.

Jenna tells Adam that Madison is moody, and he says, she’s another Parker. Captain Glenn asks what the guests plan to do tonight. In his interview, he says, last night was out of control. He wants the guests to have a good experience, but he’s going to have to limit their options, and set a curfew. He tells them that he needs to get to the dock tomorrow before noon, and needs sleep tonight. Richie says they’re just going to hang out. In the captain’s interview, he says, that was almost too easy. Jenna says, by this time tomorrow, they’ll never have to see these guys again.

The guests get ready for the tasting, and Adam brings out the caviar and accoutrements. Lenny says he wants to drink so he can feel normal, and Richie says, that’s his boy. In Georgia’s interview, she says she’s getting into a bit of a rhythm now. She’s not effing up, and she’s learned from other’s mistakes. She thinks she’s got this thing. A guest says, Adam is a serial killer in the kitchen, and again the laughs are disproportionate to the joke. Jenna tells Adam, they said he’s the best chef in the world, and better than their favorite restaurant. Georgia tells Jenna that she did the cabins in a little more than an hour. In her interview, Jenna says she’s glad Georgia is improving, but Madison has more energy to complain than to do her job. Jenna and Adam hug. In Parker’s interview, he says he understands how this could create conflict. Flirting is dangerous. Jenna tells Adam, it was a good hug. The guests go to bed, and in Madison’s interview, she says, praise Jesus. They went to bed. In Jenna’s interview, she says, going to bed alone sucks.

The next morning, Byron asks Adam if he thinks the money these guys have… Adam says, came from their parents? Yes. In Jenna’s interview, she says, d-bags, be gone! She starts serving breakfast, and one guest says he’s not drinking for the rest of his life. I add, or until next weekend. The boat is about to dock, and Paget says they’re coming in tight. They only have about two meters of space, and any damage could he tens of thousands. Ciara takes the tender out to help guide the boat. Guest Thomas sees a helicopter on one of the yachts at port, and says, that MF’er is living the life.

The guests pack, and say a final goodbye. They take the rest of the champagne with them. One of them says, don’t worry; they’re never coming back. Richie tells Captain Glenn that the crew was very patient with them, and hands him an envelope as a token of their appreciation. He says they’re rock stars, and he hopes to see again soon. In her interview, Madison says, no.

At the debriefing (aka tip meeting), Captain Glenn says it was the mother of all charters, but the crew rose to the occasion. They did an amazing job, and he was glad they got him up. He tells them if they’re ever wondering if they should get him up, do it. The tip is $20K; $2200 each. Jenna says, so they redeemed themselves? In Ciara’s interview, she says she’s amazed. They were disrespectful of the crew and the boat, but it makes sh*t taste sweeter. Parker hears Adam gripe that he hasn’t made his bed once, and he tells Adam that he’s never said anything, and might have let him know face-to-face. Adam says, Parker is going to his unmade bed to cry. In Parker’s interview, he says, if Adam has a problem, he doesn’t have to say it publicly. Be a man, and talk to his face. Adam tells him, relax; chill. Byron tries to explain that it’s a courtesy, and Parker whines that it’s his first boat; he didn’t know. Byron tells him not to take it personally. In Byron’s interview, he says when he first started, he was like a sponge. He’s trying to teach Parker the unspoken rules of yachting, and he’s not learning. It’s easier to make a bed than make excuses. Parker grumbles to Paget next, who tells him, it’s common courtesy. Parker says when he’s worried about getting on deck on time and doing his job, it’s the last effing thing he’s worried about. He gets hit with a pillow for snoring, and has to tip-toe when he needs to get up for watch, It pisses him off, but he doesn’t say sh*t. He doesn’t give a f***. In Paget’s interview, he says, Parker doesn’t get the hierarchy. It’s not rocket science. Parker says he’ll start making the bed because he doesn’t want to hear it, and walks away from Paget.

Jenna radios Ciara to come to the crew mess. She tells Ciara that she’s going to the decoration store, and asks if she wants to come. In Jenna’s interview, she says, those d-bags broke so much sh*t, she has to replace half of the glasses on the boat. The rest of the crew decides to go swimming. In Parker’s interview, he says he’s sensitive, and the negative energy is toxic. He needs to keep on being himself, and feel confident. Georgia tells Paget, they’re going swimming in the radioactive pond, and he asks if she wants a tender ride.

On shore, Ciara asks why Jenna didn’t ask one of the stews to come, and Jenna says she needed a break from them. In her interview, Ciara says she’s worked in interior, and even though she and Paget are bickering, she’s glad to be working on deck. She thinks it’s beneficial to their relationship parker. Parker says, the water smells like sewage. In Madison’s interview, she says she likes Parker, but has no idea where they stand. Jenna asks Ciara if things are good with Paget, and Ciara says, for now. Jenna says they seem like brother and sister, and Ciara says they have to at work. Jenna says she and Adam show affection, but Ciara says she and Paget have been around a lot of crews, and act like co-workers. Georgia tells Paget he has the most prominent T-shirt tan she’s ever seen. In her interview, she says she likes to challenge boundaries. It’s not like she has a mistress personality (whatever that is), but she can see how a woman wouldn’t like her making jokes to their man, Jenna and Ciara decide stop for a drink, but see the others sunbathing. Jenna notices that Georgia and Paget are lying next to each other, and says, this is weird. Ciara says Paget is free to do what he wants, and if he wants to screw around, she doesn’t want him. She and Jenna join the others.

Everyone decides to go back to the boat. Jenna tells Adam, it’s hard to be on the boat with everyone, and feel like they have alone time. She thinks they could do that in a hotel. In Adam’s interview, he says, if he’s entering into a relationship at the heart of a charter, he has to do it methodically and slowly. Jenna is fired up and ready to go. He doesn’t know what to do. He tells her that he doesn’t think it’s a great idea, but Jenna says, the purpose is to be alone. In her interview, she says she thinks Adam is giving her mixed signals. She doesn’t know if he’s nervous about a relationship on the boat, or not interested. At least she’s trying.

The crew goes into town, and Georgia drinks from a flask on the way to the restaurant. Jenna is still trying to get Adam to go to the hotel, and he says he’s never done that with a crew member. The pressure is on. Parker tells Paget to stop saying the eff-word at the table. Would his mother be proud? Ciara says his mother is worse than he is, and Parker says, his isn’t like that. He’s trying to eat dinner, and hearing f***, f***, f*** is making him not want to eat. Is he kidding? Those frat boys that he wanted so badly to be a part of, barely knew any other word, and he just said it not ten minutes ago. Ciara asks if Adam and Jenna have a date planned, but Jenna says, not at the moment. She asks if they’re having sex, and Jenna asks if Adam wants to. He says he’s feeling awkward, and she tells him that she wants to be close; she feels vulnerable, and doesn’t want to make him uncomfortable. In Jenna’s interview, she says, one day Adam is hot, and the next, he’s cold. She’s not sure how he wants her to react. Adam suggests they go back to the boat. He and Jenna, and Paget and Ciara head back. On the way, Adam says he thought he and Jenna were on the same page. She says, give her a break. It’s hard for her. She gets that he doesn’t want to sleep with her, but what does he want to do? She walks off, and sits on the dock. Adam tells Paget and Ciara that he has to diffuse the situation. He asks why she’s crying, and she says she felt rejected because no one’s sleeping with her tonight. Here’s his choice. He can give her a hug, and they can never talk about it again… He says he doesn’t work like that, and she says he continues to jerk her around. In his interview, Adam says, the emotional level is to high for him. It’s a circumstance he doesn’t want to deal with. He tells Jenna, have a good night, and walks back to the boat, leaving her on the dock.

Next time, Ciara is sick of Parker, Glenn tells Parker that he needs to respect the hierarchy, the guests only want to look at food, and Jenna decides to let Adam go.

😵 Quite a Day…

And this about sums it up.
