Welcome back, Below Deck Down Under fans. Last week, Captain Jason fired Mike. Elsewhere, Ellie’s inaccurate reporting resulted in a cabin swap. However, when Daisy moved in with João, Ellie further spiraled. Her last heated exchange with Daisy actually left us on a heated note, and that fire only grew hotter this week on BDDU Season 4 Episode 15.
What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 15?
Jenna grows jealous when a new stewardess joins the yacht. Meanwhile, Ellie and Daisy are still arguing over that blasted shrimp cocktail. Then, Ben sees a text message that he was never supposed to see, and somewhat misinterprets the words within. As a result, he is now questioning his romance with Jenna.
Daisy and Ellie’s shrimp cocktail battle continues
“Calm down, that’s very intense,” Ellie gaslights Daisy. “Ellie, you just grabbed shrimp out of my hand,” Daisy explains. But Daisy was “struggling” to put the shrimp “on the side” of the cup, Ellie erroneously argues, making Daisy flee the scene. In the stairwell, Daisy tells Alesia that if Ellie keeps this up, she “will be fired next.”
“Daisy just attacked me,” Ellie tells Ben. Ben appeases her, but in his confessional, he hysterically clocks Ellie, saying, “Attack is a very large word. I didn’t know anyone was capable of verbally attacking people, other than Ellie.” Flashbacks air, proving his point.
“I’m skeptical, can you blame me?” he asks. Several people are questioning Ellie at this point. Daisy was not struggling, she did not attack Ellie, and Jenna was not cuddling João in the hot tub, they note.
But Eddy still likes Jenna. So, like Ellie, he hated seeing Jenna in the hot tub with João. Regardless, Ben wants to confront Ellie about her antics, but “the aftermath” understandably scares him. In the morning, Ben talks to Daisy, and they agree that Ellie is at fault.
Welcome back, Barbie Pascual!
Captain Jason sends Eddy to the dock to collect the new stew. “She’s a good friend of mine,” Ellie tells Ben. Also, this female is “going to have my back,” Ellie explains, because “She’s a ride or die for me.”
“Not a good sign,” Jenna sighs. “We’re getting our stew today, and I’m scared she’s not going to respect me for being her superior,” she tells Betul in their cabin. And then we finally meet this stew, and I WAS RIGHT.
Barbie Pascual from Below Deck Season 11 is coming aboard. “I’m back,” Barbie laughs. Her “last season, technically, I quit,” she recalls. But Barbie has since “self-reflected,” and now, she “tries to think before” she speaks.
Daisy texts Fraser Olender. Barbie is not his “favorite employee. She’s stubborn. Good worker, though,” he notes.
Finally, Barbie comes aboard, running and squealing into Ellie’s arms. “Barbie is a beautiful girl,” Jenna admits in her confessional. “Massive resting b*tch face, girl HATES me,” Barbie laughs in hers.
Back in the galley, Ellie asks Ben if he has spoken with Daisy yet “about raising her voice at me.” Ben lies and tells her that Daisy has learned a lesson, and she will never touch their food again.
Barbie is “not a fan” of Jenna
Barbie asks Jenna about the boatmances onboard. Jenna fills her in, and Barbie smiles. But in her interview, Barbie suggests that “Jenna definitely loves herself,” so she is “not a fan.”
Alesia returns to the yacht with the guests and their caught fish. But Ben is still trying to catch the truth about Jenna and João’s hot tub session. Jenna tells him that nothing happened, and when he goes to Ellie, she finally admits that it looked bad, but that is all she knows. Ben asks her to be more “careful” with her words.
Barbie sets a stunning table while João rubs the tension out of Daisy’s shoulders. Ellie takes the latter personally, thinking that João is “taunting” her on purpose. So, she asks Ben to close the door.
Speaking of doing things on purpose, Eddy tells Jenna that there are two girls on board now who have caught his eye. Dinner service ruins their chat, and Ellie and Daisy slightly butt heads again when Ellie tells Daisy how to carry their plates out.
The next morning, João lets Betul call the docking. She nails it, “Meow.”
Jenna texts Eddy, and chaos ensues
Barbie tells Ellie about her chat with Jenna. “She’s out of her f*cking mind,” Ellie thinks. “Her and João, the two biggest snakes. I put him in his place a couple of charters ago, and ever since then, he’s been on a mission to get to me,” Ellie adds.
“Maybe, I’ll just flirt with Eddy and piss [Jenna] off,” Barbie suggests. Then, their guests depart, leaving perfect comment cards and a $22,000 tip. No one gets the helmet, and the crew gets ready for a night out. But before they depart, Jenna texts Eddy, letting him know that she misses him “way more than [she’s] supposed to.”
Eddy shows Ben her text. Ben’s floored. Later, at the club, Barbie gets to know Eddy a bit more. She also harmlessly chats with Ben, which Jenna hates.
In another corner, João talks to Daisy, trying to figure out where they stand. They get nowhere. But Ben does end things with Jenna, because “it’s too much drama.” He also tells her that he saw her text to Eddy, but then, he adds an extra line, accusing her of saying that she “regrets” pursuing him.
“F*cking idiot, I didn’t say that,” Jenna cries, after Ben walks away.
Below Deck Down Under is streaming on Peacock. BDDU airs on Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
