Kevin presents his Greek feast to the guests, including lamb from New Zealand and even an almond cake.
The moms lunch is ruined by it not being on the beach.
Downstairs, a plotline begins developing around the maybe-end of Courtney and Brians boatmance.
To wit, Kate and Courtney dress the table with feather boas and agree it looks like a brothel.
Kevin talks about how hes planned this meal to fit both the 20s theme and to yo the children.
First, he serves broccoli and spinach soup with feta foam on top.
Master Pearson: Laaaaame.
Maybe the missed beach trip was the least of these guests problems all along.
She says she doesnt use this knot on a fishing boat.
Ashton is completely unconcerned with Tanners bowline knot shortcomings.
As he complains about Rhylee, Tanner says, When I do it, my thing gets, uhhh.
This is the Simone weve been waiting for all season!
The next morning Tanner passes through the kitchen and Kevin asks how things are going with Simone.
Master Pearson and the personal crew members he calls parents get ready to leave the boat.
When they leave, the lady who Chandler dropped on the rock last time says, Thank you.
I didnt trip this time!
The dad compliments Kevin.
The mom still isnt happy because they didnt get to go to the beach.
She forgot that no one laundered Master Pearsons stinky life jacket.
Next we get dueling scenes of Kate and Brian getting ready for their date.
Brian gleefully asks Ashton to get off early to take Courtney out.
His mom asks him how things are going and if the other lady is being okay with him.
Ashton says not really, and she tells him not to go overboard later.
She says of course shes in a bad mood, she didnt have time to dry her hair.
She and Brian sit there sighing at one another.
Back on deck, Tanner tells Simone, I just want to run something by you…
I think were on different lengths and stuff?
Simone says no, theyre on the same mind wave.
Simone says repeatedly that she doesnt begrudge him.
Simone looks extra hot that night to make Tanner feel bad.
Simone dances with Rhylee, prompting Kate to tell Tanner shes the hottest girl there and hes an idiot.
He exits the conversation by saying, I gotta go.
This is my song.
He tries to kiss Kate, which disgusts Kate for the second time.
The second of Kate and Ashtons insane fights unfolds during the drive home.
Kate tells Ashton he put his tongue down her throat a few minutes ago.
Ashton, who has forgotten this, says, You should be so lucky.
Which is a really Rush Limbaugh way to respond.
They then start laughing about Tanners mom.
This makes Ashton so furious that he starts punching his van window and shouting at Kate.
Kate confronts Ashton about his outburst while he forages for drunk food in the crew mess.
Ashton gets Tanner to say that Kate gets away with more than most people on this crew.
She tells them to go find another chief stew and decides to gracefully leave the boat.
In a very cruel editing move, this episode is to be continued.
