In the wake (get it??) of a jetski incident, the crew ups its game to entertain the guests on Below Deck Down Under. There can only be one solution: captain in a kimono.

Chapter 2: What happened during the jet ski incident on Below Deck Down Under?
You're doing great, Carly. Doing great, Carly. So now it's time for Below Deck Down Under. Previously, a lady named India tumbled off of her jet ski, and today we report she's no longer with us.
No, she's fine.
She died. She's fine. She's fine. She got her knee on some coral, which is unfortunate. But we saw like a very prolonged sequence of bubbles and flopping around in the ocean because that GoPro was going around in circles. So, you know, they made it seem like something really terrible had happened to her. But she's fine. She was fine. But yeah, they did. They were like...
You'd only see splashing. But then every time the camera went underwater, they were in, like, two feet of water. I was like, okay. I know. I know we need some drama on this show. But come on now. It's two feet. Still, though, you know, if you're scared of water. I mean, if you're scared of water, don't get on a jet ski. Obvi. But, you know, you're on a boat. I get it. You know, she was scared.
The real villain here is... Vian, but you know, I don't hate Vian still. I feel like the show's telling me they're giving me all of the signs that I should hate Vian, but I don't. Why?
Yeah, I'm just in a state of dislike with him. I think that was the same thing I said last week. I don't hate him, but I am disliking him. Do you think he has beefcakes privilege?
You know?
Yeah. Well, anything other than a protein shake today? Come here. Have some of these French fries.
So Johnny is like, India, I'll hold you. Do you feel safe now? I'll hold you. And I was like, ooh, Johnny. Johnny, I feel like every episode, I think Johnny's getting more and more attractive. Although by the end of this episode, I was like, wah, wah, wah. And he went back down to being Johnny again. But he was on a great streak for me of getting hotter and hotter until he got drunk.

Chapter 3: How do the hosts react to the crew's handling of the jet ski incident?
Why aren't I ever called for the challenge?
You know, that would be actually my concern would be cutting myself on coral because I know you could get, what's it called? Coral burn or coral rash or something like that where when you cut yourself on coral and it like gets infected and it burns intensely. And I remember my friend told me that before I first went scuba, not scuba diving, snorkeling.
I was deathly afraid of nicking my leg or anything on coral. So I was, I wasn't afraid of sharks. I was afraid of coral the entire time.
And I was like, I was, I was very, very, uh, I was very concerned because you make it on coral and then guess what sharks like blood, you know, and then they smell it in the water and then come eat you. It's like how strippers smell French fries on me and they come all around me.
It's like strippers who want a nice warm coat and they're like, Ronnie will give me a coat.
Yeah. So Johnny's like, this is fucking disaster. Everyone is safe. But obviously jet skis have been leaking. We should definitely check it before giving it to guests. Yeah. And he's like, the deck team fucked up. Yeah. Vian fucked that one up big time.
Yeah, he did. So I'm only giving him five dollars.
india yeah not he's not going to get a round of tips a large round of tips so um india is basically asking um if vian is going to go back and get johnny who's been left in the ocean imagine if he's like no we're just going to leave him there that's it he's been fired and he's going to find his own way home of course they're going to go back in the middle of the ocean that's kind of his vibe
So then, of course, Vian tells, like, what's his face? Captain Jason's, like, right there. So Vian's like, oh, Johnny capsized. Which is kind of like, you could also say, he really just, he really threw Johnny under the bus

Chapter 4: What are the challenges faced by the crew during this episode?
Messer-upper? Yes. So Jason is like all concerned. He just wants to make sure India's okay. And she's like, yeah, you know, I was a little scared, but Johnny was in control. And he's like, okay, good to hear. So then Adair's talking to Harry, and she's like, well, you know what? Remember when we tried to lift it, and I was like, maybe it's full of water, and it was?
That sounds harsh, but it really was. Like, you know what? Like, I already knew. I already knew it was leaking. And Harry's like, all right, well, that's lovely. So the jet ski comes back. They bring the jet ski back, and the jet ski's kind of like, Help. And it's like, essentially, it's about to drown into the ocean. It's like doing Leonardo DiCaprio and Titanic at the end.
It's about to let go of the raft.
It's like, save yourself, you're richer than me.
So the whole thing is that it's... Leonardo DiCaprio, there will always be a 23-year-old for me, even in the afterlife.
I'm kind of seeing Ariel, so I'll catch you next time.
So, yeah, it's almost sinking down. It's like, oh, my God, the jet ski. What are we going to do? We can't get it up with this lift because the lift isn't strong enough for the jet ski. We're going to have to empty out the jet ski that's somehow filled with water.
Jason's like, we need a plan B. And I was like, damn, that jet ski had a fun time last night. So then Johnny must have held it. I would not mind that. So Jason's like, he's like, well, we need to drain the water first. Just give me the line. Okay, we got to do it. Hurry up. Call the engineers. Call Fritz and Bits. We'll get them down here because we need to get this thing on.
So they like, they somehow, these guys pulled this heavy ass jet ski onto one of those little floaty platforms. Yeah, fucking save it.

Chapter 5: How do personal relationships among the crew develop?
Yeah, come on, hurry up, guys. Back when we used to work for Putin, boats, we just let them sink. It's like, well, we don't work for Putin anymore. This is a big job we need to call Spider.
It's Bits, Spider. Come on, can we all work together here?
It's going down the water spot.
Get it.
All right, Fritz and Bits are doing their little gag thing again. It's no time for laughter. There's a jet ski that's about to die. It's going to be a total loss.
I can't have my plug for the Captain's Lounge kimono line messed up by this jet ski. All right.
So then Laura's saying how I pride myself on professionalism and giving the guests the best experience. It's just a big shit show right now. So then they're still working on getting this.
this thing up and it's just crazy and scary and uh then johnny goes to his cabin to like um shower because he's like exhausted because he basically just spent like an hour pushing heavy machinery through the ocean so wow that's a workout meanwhile though vian's like having the time of his life he's taking photos and just having a fun time
Yeah, and he's like, fucking hell, girl, I've never worked on anything like that in my life. In my nine years yachting, Harry, take a photo of me. It's like taking a picture like he's a hero of the day. He's the one who sent out that leaky-ass thing and then did the work to bring it back in. And poor Johnny's upstairs, who's taking his picture? Nobody?

Chapter 6: What is the role of humor in addressing crew dynamics?
Yeah. And he's pint-sized and highly prized. And Serena, as he walks away, she's like, I love you!
I love you!
Oh, my God, lady. You're making me sad, Serena. Jesus. So, Laura's saying, oh, we have to make this up to the chart again. So, basically, tonight we're going all out. I was thinking tape and streamers.
I've got one. I can one-up that for you. How about we get the candles out? Big candles. That's Jason's. That's his. That's literally what he says. We are going to go all out. We're going to put out big candles tomorrow. That's it. That'll do it.
What about a red tablecloth? We could put a red tablecloth. It could be draped on things. And it's like, wow. Yes. Welcome to the captain's lounge. What happens in the lounge stays in the lounge.
Kimono line. Kimono line incoming.
Well, the guests have requested a bar hop, but there's not much bar hopping seen here at the Seychelles, so we're going to go set up the captain's lounge. You know, that's what the guests are going to get. Especially when one of the guests was nearly killed on a jet ski today, the least I can do is show my furry chest in a kimono. Available now on kimono.captain.net.
Why are we acting like they're doing the guests a favor? The guest has to go on a bar crawl, and instead you're making them drink in the living room? Yeah.
yeah i know to a bar just let them go to at least a bar like and not only that i'm sorry you're taking them to the living room and you're making them like plug your new kimono line get the out of here i'd be paying they have to pretend like they enjoy seeing their captain like in a state of undress i think it's awkward
