Joe starts off well enough, as hes honest with Ellie.

He tells her he actually doesnt want to go on the date he said yes to hours earlier.

He doesnt want anything serious and says hes not ready for dating.

She also doesnt want anything serious and takes the rejection better than expected.

Joe asks, You dont hate me?

Ellie uses email sign-off speak to convey her dislike: No worries, thank you so much.

We learn that Joe has only been in one relationship, and it ended in 2017.

He tells us that he wants to marry the next person he dates.

This logic makes no sense.

Does he not realize you have to date people to find out if you want to marry them?

If anyones taking a date too seriously, its him.

He asks Ellie if she wants children.My jaw is on the floor at the gall of this man.

He had no idea that Aeshas had to think about firing people.

She heard about him going back on the date and is sorry.

Bri maturely takes it, and Ellie later says it was the best part of her night.

Little does she know, Joe and Bri had a moment in the bathroom.

We hear kissing, and it sounds like Bri stops things from going further.

At least it has full floor-to-ceiling stall doors.

The next day, Bri tells Joe no more fucking around, and he seems to get it.

Bris done, but she needs his help not to cross her boundaries.

I dont have much faith in this.

Joe should look to Nathan, who has been patient with Gael and doesnt think one date means marriage.

She hasnt had time to fully patch up the feelings from her breakup but agrees to go rock climbing.

Once Nathans four feet off the ground, he realizes hes afraid of heights.

Gael must really like him because she doesnt get the ick and supportively talks him through rappelling down.

They kiss when they return to the boat and later cuddle on a break.

The morning of the next charter, theres a Mediterranean hurricane-esque storm, a.k.a.

a Medicane, rolling in.

The engineers find that the issue is a hose that wasnt plugged.

Now that they fixed it, the cabin should be usable again.

The prospect of a fourth stew is exciting; we could use some new energy.

Our new primary is Pamela Duke, the Florida-based owner of a nautical-themed jewelry line.

To make up for it, Jono goes all out with appetizers and makes sushi for lunch.

He does a prawn-roll special for Jennifer because she doesnt eat raw fish.

I held my breath this whole scene, remembering the preview where someone allergic gets served fish.

Ill be on edge for Jono until theyre safely off the boat.

He may not excel at one thing, but hes a man of many talents and interests.

Well, he did as a kid, and he claims to use that discipline now.

Personally, I prefer chefs who dont associate making food with horses.

Aesha organizes an indoor wine-tasting excursion, but the rain is coming down fast.

Sandy sees therell supposedly be 30 inches of rain, which is absolutely insane.

A quick Google says Athens receives an average of 14 inchesper year!

The guests decide to turn around and stay on the ship, which seems like a safe choice.

Im surprised Sandy didnt call them back first.

Am I paranoid, or do I just have bad spatial hearing?

Sandy thinks the boat is leaking again, so Iain returns to the leaky crew cabin.

So much for getting a fourth stew.

The last shot we see is him, swearing, crawling into the dripping ceiling.

I imagine its aCoraline-pop in portal, and Iains off to a parallel world where hes Sandys favorite.

Will we ever see him again?
