We do have a situation, he says.
This isnt Alaska, its a yacht.
Were gonna make it work, he says, but she and Ashton will both have to change.
Ashton has to manage, and Rhylee has to change the way she reacts to people.
In his confessional, Lee says that he wouldnt let Rhylee go with six days left in the season.
Rhylee leaves the sky lounge brimming with emotion.
Kate intercepts her on deck for a hug, as Ashton returns to Captain Lees sky lounge bedside.
Ashton does not compute.
He is shocked that Lee didnt do his malicious bidding.
Now that a decision needs to be made, hes going with the third deckhand!
He calls Rhylee to a meeting, and tells her that they need to respect each other.
Rhylee stares at him, anger penetrating her attempted apathy.
Is there anything else you want to say or add?
She says no, turns around, and walks down some stairs, grumbling, Fucking joke.
Molly asks where hes going at night because she and Justine want to go there, too.
The crew gets ready to go out at this horrifyingly early hour in the usual Brady Bunch-style montage.
In Kevins square, he spits on his palms and rubs them together before applying saliva to his hair.
Ashton: Did you just spit in your hands, bru?
The vans are split between men and women.
Ashton tells the brus that he invited Justine and Molly.
Kevin is upset because, I just hate Justine, guys.
Tanner is especially excited about visiting The Library because the last time everyone went there, everyone kissed!
Brian kissed Courtney, which was fine, and Ashton kissed Kate, which was disturbing.
So now hes thinking, WhosTannergonna kiss?
At the club, the usual unfolds.
Liquor being poured directly into faces aimed skyward.
His strategy for getting sex tonight is to get drunk and see what happens.
Kates annoyed that Tanner is being encroached upon right when she decided to sleep with him.
Ive been working all season, she says, I should get to fuck the deckhand.
To be fair, she surely could the minute Justine left his bed.
At 2:23 a.m., more than six hours after they arrived, they finally head back to the boat.
In the girls van, Rhylee wants to discuss Ashton kissing Molly.
Kate: I would rather fuck a Vienna sausage.
When they get out of the vans, Kate and Tanner walk toward the boat together.
Your room or my room?
The next morning, Simone and Courtney iron and gossip about Tanner hitting on Justine.
Courtney says she just doesnt have the heart to tell Simone that Tanner and Kate plan to have sex.
Brian might not be very mature, but at least hes more mature than Tanner, she says.
A stem cell is more mature than Tanner.
After the crew lugs provisions on board, Kevin says his back hurts.
Captain Lee, gazing at the incoming terror, goes, Always one douchebag.
These exclamations include: Fitness!
and Hasnt had a carb in two years!
So we havent spoken about whats happening w us after the season ends… What are your thoughts?
Courtney replies at 4:13 p.m.: Well… What are your thoughts?
Brian sighs and types, Were just having some fun right?
This shatters Courtneys world, which is surprising given that she never seemed that into Brian.
She goes to the sink in the kitchen to do chores and tells Kate what Brian texted.
Kevin hears everything Courtney says because hes standing right there.
he says, like hes on her side.
Kevin goes to Brian as soon as he can to say that Courtney is talking about him with Kate.
After dark, the shirtless guests, now tinted red, return to the boat.
Kevin pipes mashed potatoes onto plates and all I can think about is Kates earlier Vienna sausage comment.
After dessert, the primary announces that she will go have sex in her room now.
Also planning sex are Kate and Tanner.
Kate says that out of respect for Simone they should wait one or two days.
Courtney again tells Kate what Brian said.
I am finally riveted by this relationship.
After breakfast, Kevin crumples to the floor of the kitchen in back pain.
A crew member who is not in the cast picks him up and gets him to a seat.
Brian finds Courtney in her bunk and tells her they need to talk.
Courtney revises her statement to say shes sorry that she didnt know that Brian felt the way he did.
Ashton calls Brian back to deck, and Brian tells Courtney they can talk more about it later.
He asks for a kiss, and she whines that she doesnt know if she should.
We all know Brian is not the man for Courtney.
Lee knows there will not be a replacement here for Kevin, and commences freak-out mode.
If the chef cant cook nobody eats, he says.
And if nobody eats, were fucked.
