Welcome back, Below Deck Down Under fans! Last week, Daisy snapped. Alesia and Mike are doing the most, but also the least. Also, Ellie put her love interest over the needs of their guests, leaving Daisy “hanging on by a thread.” And sadly, this week, Daisy loses her mind even more on BDDU Season 4 Episode 12.
What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 12?
This week, the charter guests spice things up with a daring offer to pad the crew’s tips. After they depart, these yachties finally get a much-needed day off. However, instead of relaxing, certain crew members start fighting, while other relationships shift across the yacht.
Daisy threatens “a consequence” to Mike
Daisy is completely overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Ben already owes Ellie “five bucks” for calling her everything but her actual name.
On the pier, Tyler suggests “one more little competition.” The first yachtie “to jump off this marina, butt-naked, gets a thousand dollars.” Mike wins.
But Tyler also left a parting gift for Captain Jason. It’s a silicone breastplate. Captain Jason slips it on and takes a selfie.
Then, he presents the crew with a $22,000 tip. Mike has to split his bonus cash, which, HA. Understandably, Ellie gets the disco ball helmet. But Captain Jason still has one more present left.
“The owner of Sandy Lane Marina has given you a villa to use this afternoon.” In the morning, they will take an excursion on a catamaran, he shares.
Daisy takes the floor. Without naming names, she calls out certain yachties. “It can’t happen again,” she scolds.
But as soon as Captain Jason exits, Mike makes another cheeky comment. “Do that again, Mikey, and I swear, there will be a consequence,” Daisy says. Mike gets defensive, so João helps, but Mike speaks to him like trash, too. In his cabin, Mike blames Alesia for triggering him.
Mike spills the beans
Eddy asks Jenna out on a date, and she says yes. Likewise, Mike knows João really wants Daisy, so he plans on “making some moves with Ellie.” But look, there goes João, cozying up to Ellie in a golf cart en route to their villa.
Ellie immediately finds a room to perfect her glam in. Later, Mike stirs the pot, asking Ellie about her chat with João. “We’re just having fun for the season,” Ellie says, but when Eddy asks Mike what João said to him, Mike admits, “João said to me, he wasn’t into Ellie.”
Ellie’s floored. She finds João. Knowing Mike stirred the pot, João calls Mike over, but Mike further tells Ellie that João actually likes Daisy. Ellie leaves, and João gets mad at Mike, but really, they are both at fault here.
Out on the balcony, Mike and Alesia start fighting. Daisy comes down on Mike. But when Mike leaves, Alesia tells Daisy, “You need, as the f*cking head of the department …”
But Alesia can’t even finish, because Daisy is already on her feet, arguing, “I f*cking need? I’m done with this.” In her talking head, Daisy states that if they can’t “rein it in, heads are gonna roll.”
João placates Ellie
Back on the yacht, Jenna asks Alesia where her Pride plushie went. When she goes into the bathroom, Alesia pulls it out and licks it. I –
Next door, Ellie remains sad. Daisy sits on her bunk, asking, “What’s wrong?” Crying, Ellie admits that she feels stupid. “Boys are stupid,” Daisy corrects.
In the morning, Daisy fills Captain Jason in on the Mike and Alesia mess. If they can’t grow up, he is ready to let them both go, he beautifully states. Then, the catamaran pulls up and whisks everyone, minus Captain Jason, away. But right after, Captain Jason drives past them on an eFoil, yelling “Happy Birthday” to a laughing João.
Mike asks Ellie if he can flirt with her, and she says, “Sure.” But João spots them laughing and grows weary, thinking they’re talking about him. At the beach, Eddy and Jenna flirt as Ben looks on. After, Ben sits by Jenna, letting her know she can always join him in the master cabin for some “cheeky laughs.”
João approaches Ellie. She cries. “For the time being, I’m going to tell Ellie what she wants to hear,” João admits in his confessional, as Mike understandably dogs João in his.
One romance ends as another shadily begins
Jenna and Eddy go on their date. Comically, Captain Jason and Daisy look on with a pair of binoculars. Then, we see Betul in the crew mess, listening to an audio reader accurately narrating, “I can’t stay on this boat of lies.”
Speaking of, Ellie still thinks she and João are on the same page. So, she puts the finishing touches on his cake. Similarly, in her talking head, Jenna admits that Ben is more her speed. “I kept it PG, she tells Ben after her date with Eddy.
Ellie texts João, telling him his birthday surprise is ready. He texts back, saying he wants to chat. Jenna and Ben eavesdrop on their conversation, where finally, João tells Ellie that he only wants to be “friends.”
“We’re coworkers. That’s it. I don’t want the friendship,” “chitchats,” or “hugs,” Ellie says. “I respect that,” João answers, but when she leaves, he cries.
Then, in the wee hours of the morning, Jenna heads to the master cabin, where the sounds of her and Ben kissing are heard. The words TO BE CONTINUED fill the screen.
Below Deck Down Under is streaming on Peacock. BDDU airs on Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
