Below Deck Mediterranean Season-Premiere Recap: A Hectic Start
"Pretty much the first thing we see is a pregnant belly and a title card taking us to nine months earlier, which frames this whole season as a nautical mystery centering on Nathan. The question, beyond who the hell is pregnant, is: Can Nathan hold this show together? If the first charter of the season is any indication, it's not looking great. Nathan, like his new deckhand, Tessa, isn't even there for the first day of work."
"Thank God in heaven, we have Aesha Scott back as chief stew. She is perky as ever and newly engaged after her boyfriend, Scott (I hope he takes her last name), was inspired by Captain Sandy to finally pop the question. Also returning is French deckhand Max, fresh from a soul-searching trip to Bali, where he saw some waterfalls, wrote in a journal, found hypnosis, and decided maybe working is not so bad after all."
"Hola, mates! Welcome to the M/Y Bravado, Captain Sandy's superyacht out of Barcelona. Sandy feels right at home in these waters, having lived in Barcelona for four years 100 years ago. She absorbed so much of the local color that not a day into being back in Spain, she's already calling soccer " fútbol." And that's not even the craziest thing that happens in the first five minutes of this episode."
Captain Sandy helms the Barcelona-based superyacht M/Y Bravado while embracing local culture and calling soccer fútbol. The season opens with a pregnant belly and a title card that rewinds nine months, framing a nautical mystery centered on bosun Nathan and the question of paternity. Nathan and new deckhand Tessa suffer food poisoning and arrive late for the first charter, contributing to a disorganized and failing deck crew. Chief stew Aesha Scott returns, newly engaged, and French deckhand Max rejoins after a soul-searching trip to Bali. The first charter reveals poor coordination and raises doubts about Nathan's ability to lead the crew.
