'Below Deck Mediterranean' is setting up for some intense drama in the coming weeks. Malia White and Hannah Ferrier were getting along just fine but Christine 'Bugsy' Drake's arrival followed by Tom Checketts's entry (as the new chef on board) may have put her on edge.

Even though the season is nearing its end, Hannah is finding it difficult to function on the boat and there's a good chance she is feeling lonely ever since her only good friend Hindrigo 'Kiko' Lorran left after he was fired by Captain Sandy Yawn over a disastrous Las Vegas-themed dinner. 

Somewhere, Hannah held herself responsible for Kiko's exit and ever since he left the yacht, she has been down in the dumps. She even suffered a panic attack. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. More trouble awaits this chief stewardess. 

Currently, there are two couples on board - Jessica More-Robert Westergaard and Malia-Tom - and quite obviously, they want to share cabins. While the idea has been pitched, the new cabin arrangements are subject to Bugsy and Hannah's approval. They have had issues in the past and therefore, both are apprehensive about being roommates. 

But, this resulted in a bitter argument between Malia and Hannah, who seemed baffled that Malia would want to shuffle the existing arrangements to accommodate her boyfriend. Later, Malia brought that up with Sandy, who promptly announced on the radio: "All crew, all crew, I am so grateful we have a chef on board. Malia and our chef (Tom) are going to be staying in the cabin that the other chef was in and Rob, you gotta figure out where to live." In her confessional, Sandy defended her decision by saying that Tom did the team a favor by joining it last-minute and also "chef has rank over everybody downstairs."

Upon learning of the new scenario, Hannah agreed to share her cabin with Bugsy, albeit in the most mellow way. "This is turning out to be a stupid power struggle and I don't want to play this game, Malia," Hannah said in her green-room interview. 

Will this stir a new storm among the crew members or help build new friendships? Time will tell. For now, catch all the new episodes of 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 5 on Bravo every Monday at 9/8 c. For more information, check your local listings.
