'Below Deck Down Under' Season 4 Episode 13 Recap: Mike and Alesia's feud spirals as new charter begins
The latest ‘Below Deck Down Under’ episode featured Jenna kissing Ben and then leaving the primary suite. She could be seen crawling into bed with Eddy. When Captain Jason found that the crew had trashed the yacht, it did not sit well with him. He told everyone to “get their s**t together.” Soon, they had the preference sheet meeting for the upcoming charter. The captain noted that they would be welcoming four couples, and they all should be considered “co-primaries.” The primary, Joanna, was celebrating her birthday, and she preferred to tell the chefs her specific preferences. It may not be good news for Ben, since he likes doing things his way. In her private confessional, Joanna noted, “I’m not really tolerant of mediocre food. I’m a bit nervous for the chef.”
Further in the ‘Below Deck Down Under’ episode, viewers witnessed Daisy holding a meeting with Mike and Alesia. “Where do I begin? I’m not happy, and I need the two of you to understand how serious this is,” said Daisy. “The two of you have an ego, and it needs to go,” she added. Listening to her, Mike asked her about the “specifics” of what he had done that came off as such behavior from his end. Daisy responded that she was “sick of him pot stirring. I’m sick of you complaining. You’re both adults. Start asking for help in a manner that is kind and respectful.” She added that she was there to guide and help them. She told both Mike and Alesia to be team players and respect each other. She noted that they should “stop with the egos.” Alesia felt that because of Mike, she was facing such consequences.
Later, Jenna had a private chat with Eddy about their relationship’s future. She told him that she “really enjoyed” his company, but was unsure how things could work out. “How would it work? We live on two different continents. We both work on yachts.” Listening to that, Eddy responded that if “you liked someone, you’d make it work.” However, Jenna noted the two had “two completely different lifestyles.” It was the reason why she could not see their “lives merging.” Soon, new charter guests arrived on board. Daisy took them on a yacht tour. While Joanna requested a vanilla cake, Ben made a chocolate cake. “Just give the people what they want,” noted Daisy. Later, Ben realized he should be making a vanilla cake, so he did. For Joanna’s birthday, the crew hosted a leopard-themed dinner party. Mike and Eddy performed a routine for Joanna as everyone enjoyed the cake. The next morning, some of the crew members witnessed João and Daisy flirting. Ellie noted that he was “disgusting.” She added, “It’s lowlife behavior, pathetic, manipulative, trash can,” while talking to Ben.
Later, Ben fell asleep during the tip meeting. Daisy noted that it was “just a classic example” of Ben’s behavior. The captain also confronted him about the same and told him he needed to have better communication. The tip that guests left was $28,000. The ‘Below Deck Down Under’ episode ended with the Heads of Department getting into a heated exchange. Daisy asked Ben to apologize, but he refused. She told him to “never” bring Ellie into their argument. João also agreed with her. Later, Ben apologized and hugged Daisy. At the yacht, Mike joked about being the head of the department, resulting in Jenna leaving the table. When Daisy and João talked about keeping the radio nearby, Ben did not like it and left. It happened after the two told Ben to keep his radio on and nearby. He stormed off and told them to “pick up the tab” and send him the bill.
