We pick things up right where we left off. Wihan’s kissing Marina on their date, and Tzarina’s just found out about their night out. “Backstabbing b*tch,” she says of the stewardess. “F*ck off.” Marina does herself no favors when Wihan calls her a “good kisser,” and she tells him she’s better than the head chef at playing tonsil tennis.
“It’s annoying because I thought Wihan and I were vibing,” Tzarina admits. “I feel like I misread the situation, again.” We’re then treated to Tzarina and Culver Bradbury flashbacks, where he told her he would “put a ring on it, quick.” He then decided to swap spit with another crew member. History’s repeating itself, and I feel bad for Tzarina! Still, at least she’s found out about Wihan within 24 hours…
In the crew mess, Bri tells Lara about “gentleman” Harry. She seems head over heels. But when Bri then explains Wihan is out with Marina, she’s stunned. “I don’t know what the deal is with this guy,” Lara says in confessional. “It’s just like, ‘Who’s the flavor of the day?’”
As Marina and Wihan return, the crew ask for a debrief. Marina has “no complaints,” and then throws some shade at Tzarina for no reason other than I think she must be incredibly insecure. It’s a shame, because Marina had been impressing me up to this point. But this just felt like mean girl behavior. Or, I could be totally misreading the situation. You tell me!
Wihan’s kissed two of the crew, and now wants to try for a third
It’s the morning after the night before, and Wihan wakes up in his cabin with Harry. “I was thinking about it … I’m into Adair,” Wihan confesses. “She’s so beautiful.” Harry is stunned, and says the deck-stew is just “going with the flow.” Wihan then says something about being “available” in confessional, but I’m distracted by yet another shot of that butt. He likes showing off those buns.
Now it’s time for true romance; Harry’s talking about dating a model for the first time in his life. He likes Bri “a lot,” and wants to “play it cool” with the stunner. For now, it’s working. I just hate that the Below Deck franchise has me thinking their relationship is doomed before it’s even taken off properly. Fingers crossed the two can break the mold.
In the bridge, Captain Jason has made contact with an available sous-chef, but they probably won’t be available for this next charter. Tzarina’s spiraling over Marina’s behavior. “I feel like that’s girl code just so far out the f*cking window,” she tells Lara. Then in confessional, the chief stew throws her under the bus. Sigh.
“For me, Tzarina is definitely a bit desperate to find love. On our last boat, she once left a trail of sweets from her cabin to this guy’s cabin. Like Hansel and Gretel, like, ‘This is where you should come to bed.’ She is hungry, so Marina, you need to be careful. If Tzarina wants a man, she is going to do everything to get that man.” I’m actually hopeful Tzarina will toss Wihan aside but, oh wait, she’s cuddling him and allowing herself to be lifted into the air. Never mind.
