Dont you miss Captain Lee already?

Im getting a bit ahead of myself, though.

And once again, we have a largely new crew, now all the way up to the captain.

I cant tell yet if Heather, a 25-year-old(!)

But someone else on our new interior team may be able to.

His name is Fraser, hes worked on one boat before, and hes an avowed perfectionist.

Filling out the interior team is Jessica, whos worked as a solo stew on a few boats.

Eddie perfectly encapsulates why Rachel is such a great reality-TV character: Shes damn talented, batshit crazy.

And in her first confessional, she proves that little has changed other than her freshly dyed red hair.

I like short men I like to play a game, like, Wheres your penis, honey?

she says of Captain Sean, her temporary boss.

Per her preference sheet, she and her friends want fancy as fuck, rich-bitch shit only.

At three in the afternoon!

Something doesnt seem right about the way the work is getting distributed here.

1 detractor last season.

Are things going to stay quiet between them, or will their tensions bubble over eventually?

(You know Im hoping for the latter.)

By dinner, things are already bubbling over on the interior.

While Jess is, for some reason, on laundry during dinner service for a seafoodextravaganza, no less!

Fraser is left scrambling between turndowns and service.

Theres no plan right now, he says in a confessional, and I think hes right!

Meanwhile, over some dishwashing, Jake admits to Rayna that he fancies her.

The next morning begins with Jesss longest bleep ever as she trips into the crew mess.

Puts me on housekeeping, then asks me to be on service, Fraser says while he cleans.

Confused with your management skills, darling.

To his credit as an annoying twink, Fraser has no problem letting Heather know all of this.

I cant pick up the slack if there is any, he says.

(In my expert opinion, yes!)

I cant wait to see what Sean tells the crew when they get a shitty tip after this charter.

For now, were left with Captain Seans radio calls of Eddie, Eddie?

echoing in our heads until next week.

Tips

The V-necks in this seasons uniform are proving surprisingly controversial among the crew.

I look like a European pop star, says Fraser.

Why doesnt Jake want the bottom bunk in his cabin?

Because peoples pubes fall on my bed.

I can already tell Fraser will be a great cast member because he talks to himself all.

This is grotesque, he says while cleaning a guests shower.

A lot!!!

But Fraser isnt the only one fighting for Jakes body and affection.

Jake is gonna be like the motor yachtMy Seannabicycle, Rachel declares.

Were all gonna get a ride.
