When James says he wont do dishes for her, she just says he didnt do them well anyway.

Somehow, Elizabeth and Rachel strike some sort of bond among all this.

They leave the table to keep talking over a cigarette leaving everyone else to talk about them.

I could not be more ready to start a new day when this crew wakes up the next morning.

He says hes not going to talk to her about it because whats the point of causing drama?

which only seems like a recipe for more drama down the line.

At least he understands how to be a reality TV cast member.

In other news, Izzy is finally seeing a doctor!

Eddie is ready to spill about everything that happened with Rachel, calling her toxic when she drinks.

And after the show made such a big deal out of it!

Maybe it catches up to her later on, but its clearly not going to today.

And thats not all for drama this morning, because James winks at Ashling in front of Elizabeth.

Anyway, at least Izzy doesnt have COVID-19 just two kidney infections, a UTI,andstrep throat.

Id say yay, but thats still not a list worth celebrating!

Shes going to take her medicine and go to bed and hopefully be able to work tomorrow.

Parents, were not designed to bury our children.

I dont know if Ill ever get over it.

Its another morning, and Izzy is up and at it!

She may be a bit constipated from her meds, but she can finally work again.

Except Ashling is now feeling bad, with some sort of stomach bug.

And so is Rachel!

Maybe they both ate something bad at the beach club?

We finally, once again, have guests!

AndunlikeThe Wellington,My Seannaallows animals aboard, so the crew is prepared with a two-foot-by-two-foot square of Astroturf.

Youre on a superyacht!

The Whispering Angel should be flowing!

Thats the thing about these guests: So far this episode, theyre boring.

So they play on the water toys and lounge and drink all afternoon, asBelow Deckguests do.

But Francesca doesnt know about Elizabeth yet, so shes still pestering her about laundry, as she does.

Dinner is at 7:30, and Captain Lee is invited, as he learns 15 minutes before.

Its a cowboy party, because of course it is.

At least Francesca has toned down her table setting, for once!

(Maybe because all she knows about Texas is ranch dressing, root beer, and sheriffs.)

Theres steak, theres lobster, theres mac and cheese, theres cornbread.

Again, hes okay with her to her face, but talking all about emotional baggage in his confessionals.

If hes not going to actually talk with her about this, its going to get old quick.

You dont know what the girl is going through!

So we end the episode on that silly, unsatisfying note.

Im hoping Dr. Williams can fix this shows sense of narrative direction next week.

Dont take life for granted.

Life is a beautiful adventure and were meant to experience it the way it happens, he says.

You cant always get riled up over something.

Sometimes you oughta just keep your shoes off, have a beer, toes in the water.

Im not crying, youre crying.

There is someone named Justin on this charter who the girls think is cute?

As a fellow Justin, let me say I dont get what the fuss is about.

The best part of this episode, by far, is Rachel imitating the noises in her stomach.

James on his friendship with Rob: Robs my boy.

God, it sounds like Im in love with him.
