Welcome back, Below Deck Mediterranean fans! Last week, three different couples formed during a boozy day off. These yachties all needed this win, because an incoming charter guest was making his way to their yacht, hell-bent on belittling their very existences. Also, Captain Sandy is finally feeling cautiously optimistic with the deck team, as seen on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 Episode 10, “Bowing Out.”
What happened in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 Episode 10?
Nathan is still learning the ropes as a bosun. So, when Captain Sandy orders him to make a big decision, he grows weary. Meanwhile, V and Joe are still learning how to navigate things as a couple. As are Max and Cathy, whose love languages are (seemingly) at odds.
Drunk guests and big feelings
After getting his ass handed to him by Captain Sandy, Nathan starts spiraling. Joe approaches, offering his bestie encouragement. Max finally makes it back to the boat with Imran. Nathan lets him know that charter guests cannot drive their tender, and also, Captain Sandy is now mad.
In the galley, Josh prepares a massive Spanish-themed dinner. Kizzi enters, complaining that Cathy keeps getting time with their guests, and it’s making her jealous. Other charters will probably land in her favor, Josh suggests.
Aesha senses a shift in Kizzi. She approaches her stew, who explains that she feels small. In her confessional, Aesha sighs, “It’s all falling apart.”
Max and Cathy flirt as their guests sit for dinner. Thankfully, dinner finds them well. Josh celebrates in the galley, but ends up falling. He rubs his lower back and stands, washing dishes as if nothing ever happened.
Three guests enter the hot tub and joke about having a threesome. Cathy flees the scene.
The first anniversary of Bon’s passing is approaching. So, V’s feelings “are all over the place.” She needs to talk to Joe.
Meanwhile, Imran has to pee, but his cabin is too far away. He asks if he can relieve himself off the side of the yacht. Cathy says no. He and Mike, another drunk guest, start wandering, sick of all these “rules.”
In the hallway, Mike drops his glass. Cathy, using her best mom voice, sends them to bed.
Nathan finally pleases Captain Sandy
In the morning, Kizzi expertly readies the breakfast table. In the crew mess, Aesha finds a note from Cathy. She might sleep an extra hour, since she was up so late with the guests. Aesha sighs, then humps Kizzi to say well done.
Captain Sandy calls Nathan to the wheelhouse. Their docking will be windy, so Nathan needs to be “precise” and “more of a boss.”
Thanks to his messy childhood, Max has abandonment issues. Now, he hopes to create a better, safer family of his own. And right now, his eyes are on Cathy.
The deck team prepares for docking. The wind speed is at 17 knots and rising. Naturally, their bow thruster chooses this exact time to die. Captain Sandy yells for Ben, her typically unfilmed Chief Officer.
Nathan, unaware, continues calling distances to Captain Sandy. Their yacht is drifting, he explains, before learning what happened. Between Captain Sandy, Ben, Nathan, and his team, the yacht safely docks.
“Pressure makes diamonds,” Captain Sandy notes. Their guests depart, leaving a tip of $25k. After, Captain Sandy meets with Nathan, telling him it’s time to choose his lead deckhand.
Cathy and Kizzi air things out
The crew prepares for a night out. Nathan texts Gael Cameron. He wishes she were here.
In their sprinter van, Joe takes a selfie with V. He sends it to his mom. Aesha has never seen this side of Joe. Neither has Joe.
At the table, Nathan and Aesha bond. This season is not going well for Nathan. But, as Aesha recalls, her first season as a department head was also sticky. Just keep swimming, basically, she explains.
Max wants to kiss Cathy. She tells him no. They move to an isolated table, where Max explains that when he falls, he falls hard. However, Cathy falls slowly, and she also feels sick, so tonight will not be Max’s lucky night at all.
Is Kizzi still talking to her ex? Nathan asks. “Not really,” Kizzi answers. She further explains that she’s been in a funk. She’s still trying to adapt to having another second stew onboard.
Cathy overhears. She comes and sits beside Kizzi to air everything out. Several beats later, all is well. Cathy and Max head back to the yacht as the others venture off to a nightclub.
Joe and V are solid, but Max and Cathy are on different pages
Joe and V make out on the dance floor. So do Nathan and Kizzi. “I see you,” Josh says from his confessional, in full clown attire.
Joe asks V what her post-season plans are. He wants to bring her home with him. “I’m in all the way,” he admits. Both pairings make out again in the van, as Aesha and Josh comically exchange glances behind them.
Back on the yacht, Max and Cathy are also kissing. Cathy, however, heads to bed alone. He is giving “too much,” Max realizes.
Nathan climbs into Kizzi’s bunk, but when Aesha enters, he leaves. Pointless hookups are not really his thing anymore, he explains.
V takes a break from kissing Joe to explain that her traumas are still high. Joe promises he won’t hurt her as the credits roll on another episode of Below Deck Med.
Below Deck Mediterranean continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
