A box has four sides, and it is blocked only on three.
Ergo, not boxed in.
The crew gets within a meter of the other boats lines, but Sandys a pro.
She says theyre mates, he says theyre colleagues.
I hate that it seems like playing mind games could work for him.
Sandy calls Joe to the bridge and he fears hes in trouble again.
Instead, she puts him at the helm while she goes to get a cup of coffee.
Its a nice moment to build his confidence.
Shes not planning to demote him and reiterates that she trusts him.
And while she meticulously logs all the laundry items in a notebook, its not enough to avoid mistakes.
Bri promises she has been washing them separately and will continue to do so.
Bri finds Ellie in the laundry room and attempts to dismiss her with a meek I got washing.
She feels like Ellie messes with her (messy) system.
Ellie needs something to do because Aesha doesnt need help upstairs, so shes going to help.
Im frantically pointing at the screen likethat Leo DiCaprio meme.
The list is not short, indicating that way more mistakes are being made than we have been shown.
Ellie gives Bri some tasks for service in a voice at least two octaves higher than normal.
Shes either whispering because of the guests or taking Aeshas warning abouthowthey say things to each other too literally.
Ten minutes before lunch, she gives up on the break and jumps in to help set the table.
I believe Aesha made the right call here, but watching her fail to relax was triggeringly relatable.
In the galley, Jono is stepping it up.
TheMustiquebacks into a rocky port at Hydra, where Iains lack of attention to detail strikes again.
Sandys frustrated that Iain doesnt always look before he speaks.
A little research wouldnt hurt, right?
The editors replay the scene along with her account, which highlights how she exaggerates and changes details.
Im sure shefeelslike Bri stormed out, even if she herself was the one who left.
Ellie also tells Aesha about the list of mistakes.
Aesha plays Ellies story to her face but knows shell have to hear both sides.
Adding to the list of errors, Aesha notices cashmere in the dryer.
She feels like things are getting out of control and is ready to involve the captain.
Well have to wait to see who will get … hung out to dry.
(I cannot resist a pun, Im sorry!)
For dinner, its sparkle night, and the guests are all dressed to theme.
Its actually pretty cute, minus the disco-ball balls.
Jono gets more creative with the plating, which is a little busy in my unsolicited opinion.
But Im happy hes excited, and I admire the effort to match the theme for dessert.
He serves poached pears with gold leaf.
Id like to imagine thats exactly what the inventors of text messaging had in mind.
To further bring the sparkle, the interior crew asks Joe and Gael to do a dance.
GivenBelow Deckstypical entertainment standards, Im amazed by what they throw together.
Theyre doing choreographed lifts!
For the second time this episode, Im getting what it is about Joe.
Unfortunately, based on the preview, it looks as though hell soon be losing that goodwill.
At this point, I think they must be editing the grammar for clarity.
That or were dealing with two sociopaths.
Was Aesha singing Im gonna wet my pants to the tune of Macklemores Thrift Shop?
Is this fair use, or did it slip through standards?
Why is Iain going to sleep in his full uniform, including a belt?
?
