Welcome back from last week’s cliffhanger, Below Deck Down Under fans. After going on a date with Eddy, Jenna shared a kiss with Ben. Elsewhere, Daisy finally brought Captain Jason up to speed about Mike and Alesia, while Mike brought Ellie up to speed about who João really liked (Daisy). And now, here’s what happened this week on BDDU Season 4 Episode 13.
What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 13?
The crew trashed the yacht, leaving Captain Jason fuming. But once the guests finally board, Ben also gets upset. Daisy, he thinks, does not have his back with these guests. Meanwhile, Jenna and Daisy have some tough decisions to make. Will Jenna choose Eddy or Ben, and will Daisy give in to her feelings for João?
Jenna ends things with Eddy
After shockingly kissing Ben, Jenna exits the primary suite and crawls into bed with Eddy. As interesting as this mess is, Captain Jason has just discovered an even bigger disaster. The yacht is trashed. His team needs to “get their sh*t together,” he says, heading to wake everyone up.
Once gathered, he gives his team a stern talking-to, and everyone scatters to clean. While Jenna wipes down the bar, she tells Daisy about her torn feelings for Ben and Eddy. Daisy laughs, but she wants no part of that.
During the preference sheet meeting, Captain Jason says, “four couples” are coming on board. “And all should be considered co-primaries.” Joanna, the mother, is celebrating her birthday. Unfortunately for Ben, Joanna likes going into kitchens and telling chefs what to do.
“I’m not really tolerant [of] mediocre food,” Joanna sasses in her guest confessional. “I’m a bit nervous for the chef,” Shanel, one of the co-primaries, admits, which, SAME, Shanel.
Daisy holds a meeting with Mike and Alesia. She tells them they have an ego, but Mike asks for “specifics.” Daisy raises her voice and asks him to be a “team player.” In her confessional, Alesia takes zero accountability and blames Mike.
Daisy meets with Ben next, asking him to make time in the morning to menu plan to mitigate his timing issues. But Ben says he’d “rather just be isolated in the kitchen, doing what I want.”
Speaking of talking, Jenna has already made up her mind. So, she ends things with Eddy. Eddy finds that “baffling.”
Daisy and Ben argue
The charter guests board, and thanks to Jenna, Ben is in a great mood. However, Joanna requested a vanilla cake, but Ben made chocolate. Daisy wants to warn Joanna about this change, but Ben, supported by Ellie, argues no.
“Just give the people what they want,” Daisy says in her talking head. In the galley, Ben realizes she might be right. He starts making a vanilla cake. But when Daisy suggests he speak with the guests about their dinner preferences, Ben shrugs her off.
Dumb decision. Ahead of Joanna’s leopard-themed casino dinner party, the guests call Ben down and tell him they want pasta. “Told you so,” Daisy says in her interview.
Naturally, Ben starts running behind, so the guests get upset. Then, his second dish is universally hated. As for his dessert, Ben molded Joanna’s vanilla cake into a Sphinx. All Betual can carefully, hysterically say is, “Wow, so good.”
Mike and Eddy perform a sexy routine for Joanna, and, thankfully, everyone likes Ben’s cake. The next morning, João and Daisy flirt in the crew mess. “He’s disgusting,” Ellie tells Ben. “It’s lowlife behavior, pathetic, manipulative, trash can,” she adds.
One of the guests suggests homemade cookies, so Daisy tells Ben. But Ben thinks Daisy suggested this idea to them instead. He argues with her in the galley and shoos her away, which makes Daisy livid. But her suggestion was a good one, because the guests love his cookies.
“Told you so,” Daisy says again. Just as quickly as they arrived, the guests depart. Joanna wasn’t that bad after all, thanks to Daisy’s suggestions.
The real and fake Heads of Department meet
Ben falls asleep, missing the first part of the tip meeting. “This is just a classic example” of how little respect Ben has for others, Daisy notes. Captain Jason agrees, saying, “I don’t give a f*ck, we’re here to have a tip meeting.”
When Ben finally arrives, Captain Jason calls him out. He also tells Ben that their guests criticized him on their comment cards. So, Ben needs better communication skills, he adds, sounding exactly like Daisy. Even still, they left an impressive $28,000 tip, and Ben gets the disco ball helmet.
Wearing matching hues, the Heads of Department head out for dinner. At the table, Daisy asks Ben for an apology. He can’t do it, though, so Daisy moves on, telling Ben never to bring Ellie into their arguments again, which João agrees with.
Finally, Ben apologizes and hugs Daisy. But back on the yacht, all is not well. The crew is eating dinner, and Mike makes one too many jokes about being the head of his department. Jenna gets mad and leaves the table.
Then, back at the actual HOD dinner, Daisy and João tell Ben to keep his radio nearby and never be late to a meeting again. “For f*cks’ sake, just everyone have a go at Ben, would you?” Ben sighs.
“You can pick up the tab. Send me the bill,” he says, storming back to the yacht.
Below Deck Down Under is streaming on Peacock. BDDU airs on Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
