When the Honor crew of Below Deck is off the clock, they like to have fun and who can blame them? When they're on charter, it's their job to see to guests' every need, so it's nice to have some time for themselves. Kat goes way overboard, though, getting drunk and telling CJ she wants to sleep with him. Sam is a little jealous upon hearing this but is quickly comforted when CJ lists off a bunch of reasons he would never hit that. You gotta feel a little embarrassed for Kat though...

 

The next group of charter guests are a hypnotist and his friends, who all really, really want green juice. Adrienne asks Ben to make it, even though this should have already been prepped for in advance. It's not like Adrienne to not be ready for something, but Ben obliges and makes the juice. The guests then order more juice, with specific ingredients, and Sam and Adrienne try to prepare it together. Bad idea. They spend more time arguing than being productive and it takes TWO HOURS just to get TWO GLASSES of juice out to them.

 

CJ has to be told repeatedly to keep his shirt on by Lee and Nash, the chief engineer. In CJ's mind, he looks good without his shirt on and he also sweats when working. Why should he have to wear it? Because it's part of the uniform! Speaking of people who don't want to listen, Sam ignores Adrienne's every request and basically laughs at her when she gets annoyed. I get that Adrienne is a little high strung but why does Sam get to be disrespectful without being reprimanded?

 

On the island of Anguila, the crew prepares a barbecue for the guests but it's total chaos trying to get it off the ground. No one seems to know where anything is and to make matters worse, a rainstorm is quickly rolling in. Thank goodness for Ben's supreme cooking skills, because the guests are thrilled with the picnic and happily head back to the Honor for the rest of their trip.

 

Upon hearing that Adrienne is having problems with Sam, the hypnotist works his magic and does a little hypnosis on her to calm her down. First of all, it didn't seem to work and secondly, should the guests know about the issues between crew members? I think not.

 

When all is said and done, the guests leave happy, along with a $5K tip for the crew. Lee is less than thrilled with how things went through and makes sure to reprimand Aleks and Adrienne for his lack of initiative and her lack of preparedness. This is not going to fly on his yacht and they're going to have to step it up.

 

 

Below Deck airs Mondays at 10/9c on Bravo.
