The brief

The recap opens with the yacht dragging anchor, sending the crew into a frantic effort to retrieve water toys before the vessel reaches shore.

An outer-space-themed Pride dinner gives way to conflicting demands over avocado, watermelon, shrimp, and crispy rice, overwhelming Kaylee and Joy.

The dinner failures continue when vegan tacos arrive with guacamole despite a guest’s stated dislike of avocado, deepening the crew’s emotional fallout.

A guest excursion to Stone nearly collapses when the tender starts smoking, leaving Kaylee to entertain unimpressed guests while repairs continue.

Back aboard, Joe asserts control over Max while Nathan privately promises him the lead deckhand position, turning a service crisis into a political contest.
