Were blessed this week with two crew nights out and a guest being finicky about drink garnishes.

However, the main through-line of the episode is Emmas insecurities much less fun.

That reflects more on her ex-friend than ex-boyfriend, but well file it under potential trust issues.

Danni thinks Keith is wholesome and the opposite of this past toxicity.

We love to see it!

Unfortunately, she might not have the patience to wait for him.

Spoiler: She doesnt.

The snippets of him so far are entertainingly chaotic.

Because Glenn is still awake when they return from the night out, he invites Glenn to the Jacuzzi.

Glenn: One-hundred percent not.

Later, he almost falls naked onto Glenn while getting into his top bunk.

He says in the morning its the bed designers fault and not his.

Its definitely his fault for being nude (why?!)

and drunk, so Im curious if this inability to accept blame will show up again.

Cloyce says hes up to the challenge because he once cooked for a lesbian O.C.

Real Housewife who was outspoken about the food.

(Im assuming this wasBraunwyn Windham-Burke.)

Theyve requested a Japanese-style dinner, and Glenn nudges them to pull out all the stops.

Daisy also checks in with Cloyce ahead of the charter, reminding him to raise the bar.

Id say its at about knee height right now plenty of room to grow.

This slight rudeness that keeps the crew on its toes is exactly what I want to see from guests.

Tiffanys friend Joyce remarks on the tight quarters, I could barely get through with my Birkin.

We get it: Youre rich!

On deck, Garys starting to think Emmas work ethic and drive arent where they need to be.

Gary has to show her that she needs to put more weight into it.

Shes struggling because she hasnt worked on this kind of sailboat with a hydraulic system.

Gary goes to Glenn, warning the captain that Emmas greener than they thought and lacking urgency.

This seems unfair because (as far as we know) he hasnt even talked to her about urgency.

Danni and Keith are assigned to accompany the guests on a beach sunset photo shoot.

Keith shuts it down; he thinks she shouldnt be flirting in front of the guests.

Danni couldve taken his comment about coming on strong as constructive criticism but has completely forgotten it.

I say thats partially on her if she wont make the first move.

Im nervous for dinner when Cloyce reveals he hasnt studied Japanese cuisine since sophomore year of high school.

One guest, Madelaine, calls out that normally the chef would present the food is he struggling?

Danni appropriately laughs this off and says he wants to make it perfect.

Cloyce does make an appearance to present the miso-glazed sea-bass main course.

Like the tempura, its not plated individually.

If I were the primary, Id want five-plus courses of individual plating.

I could get more than what Cloyce serves at Benihana.

Daisy double-checks that Diana makes it correctly, but he complains that it has only one bean.

In response, Diana says hes getting decaf from now on.

She says she was joking, but it didnt come across as friendly.

Danni makes another espresso martini for J Mo this time with three beans.

Hes so pleased he hugs her and does a whole high-fivehandshake thing.

Of course, Diana doesnt enjoy watching this.

Also under par is Emmas performance on the night shift.

She prefers interacting with people and falls asleep for about an hour.

We were all rooting for you!

Its difficult to keep rooting for her after this shes so lucky the anchor wasnt dragging.

When she switches out with Keith, she says shes pretty sure she got the whole boat done.

Keith sees that the cockpit floor is sopping wet since Emma just rinsed it in her last hour.

Gary asks Emma what happened with rinsing the boat, and she gets defensive because she did rinse it.

He instructs her to prioritize rinsing decks that the guests frequent first.

Maybe she will get through it.

If she does, shes definitely getting a Most Improved edit.

As Tiffany leaves, she says they were blown away by the crews professionalism and service level.

She specifically shouts-out Danni for the best three-bean espresso martinis.

If only this attention were enough …

The tip is a very good $25,000, and Glenn is complimentary of everyone.

Daisy thinks it was Cloyces strongest charter yet.

The crew heads out to dinner, and Diana hopes there are hot people there.

I miss if there are any, because I cant look away from Dannis hideous skull ring.

Emmas not feeling well, so she goes for a cigarette with Daisy.

Oh, the irony.

She goes outside and sits down on the side of the road, which looks quite bleak.

Sweating and feeling faint, Emma decides to go back to the boat.

To the others, Daisy diagnoses her with heat exhaustion, kindly not mentioning the mental aspect.

At the bar, Danni just wants to dance, but Keith wants to talk.

She doesnt like that he wont banter with her on a cliff at sunset because of guests.

Danni flippantly says shes going to carry on with her life.

Later, Daisy compliments Keith on him, Emma, and Davide helping out the interior.

Danni hates that theyre talking about work and goes to dance with Gary, which includes some weird play-fighting.

She calls it the best party ever, which it clearly isnt.

I dont see anyone else dancing at 2 a.m. on whats probably a Tuesday.

While Gary throws Danni over his shoulder, Cloyce tells Keith hes getting really positive vibes from Daisy.

I shudder to think of it.

She strokes his hair and tells him not to be apologetic for being sensitive.

Is Keith about to swoop Cloyce?

Keith, you deserve better.

In the other car, Danni jokingly chokes Gary (or maybe for real?

He turns pretty red), and it seems as if they might kiss.

Everyone else goes to bed while the two stay up to hot-tub.

They see a group jumping in the water off the dock, so Gary suggests they also jump in.

This is the attention Danni has been missing.

In the water, they kiss.
