Gossip travels aboard this seasons boat like none other.
Sure, crew members have their go-to confidants, like Heather with Fraser or Rayna with Jess and Wes.
Thats part of what makes this episode work so well: Just about everyone is talkingabouteveryonetoeveryone else.
Ive lost track of the stakes of this argument: something about a coffee cup and wet clothes?
But the guests can hear it, and its embarrassing.
We may be in the Caribbean, but dinner is a Greek feast, because why the hell not?
Rachel makes lamb, fish, octopus, moussaka, tzatziki, the works.
Later that night, Jake relays the same complaints about Rayna to Heather.
He gives her a bit of good advice about listening more, but otherwise, hes not very helpful.
And it wouldnt be a night of gossiping without Fraser and Heather talking about Jess!
One of those days, Heather observes.
To her, its evidence of Fraser trying to climb the ranks.
Heather needs a minion, she says.
So, uh, we know this tip meeting isnt going to go well.
Dont bring your smiles, he warns, you wont be needing them.
When Eddie says he hasnt seen Captain Lee this mad, you know its bad.
But back to Heather for a second.
2021, its not 2002 anymore, you know?
Heather is insistent that she didnt say it, but rewind the footage and its right there.
But that doesnt, of course, negate what she said.
Its not just a bad look, like Rayna brushed it off as that night.
The next day, it clearly weighs on Raynas mind.
She tells Wes, Fraser, and Eddie about it, all separately.
Rayna isnt pleased about her conversation with Eddie either.
Presumablynotabout her casual racism, but you never know!
While working, Rachel makes a joke about her sweater puppets.
What are sweater puppets?
Fraser, an innocent gay, asks.
Not to get into too much empty speculation, but that comment does sound a bit off now.
