Welcome back, Below deck Mediterranean fans! Last weekJoe learned his mother had breast cancer, and about three minutes later he and Nathan made peace. However, that quickly came to an end when Nathan jumped to conclusions about something Joe said during a night out with the crew. But now Nathan has even bigger problems to deal with in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11, Episode 3.
What happened in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11, Episode 3?
Our first love triangle forms and a new second stew is crowned. However, this promotion causes tensions domestically. But when a toxic guest joins and has problems with NathanNathan snaps, admitting that this might be his last charter of season 11.
Boatmances and a somewhat healed bromance
Aesha reminds Nathan that Joe “just got the news about his mother. He’s probably in a strange place.” But Nathan doesn’t give a fuck. And if he stays, he might end up hitting Joe, so he goes to his nearby rental house.
Joe finds Nathan “overreactive (and) very aggressive.” Then Luke and Joy flirt, as do Kat and Cooper, as do Joe and Kayley. Kayley has the word “liability” tattooed on the inside of her lip. Joe likes her humor.
Nathan arrives at his rental house and explains Gael Cameron about his night. She gets stressed. But tonight was also “so mentally challenging” for Joe. He “received the worst news” ever, and now he has “Nathan on my back.”
Joe needs “a release from reality.” Luckily for him, “Kayley is a very good distraction.”
Nearby, Luke hugs Joy. Gen sees it and gags on her talking head. Cooper clocks this situation. He tells Luke, “Gen and Cheffy are interested in you.”
Lucas knows. However, he sees “something deeper” in Joy. Meanwhile, Kat wants “a house full of cats.”
Luke asks Joy if they can “chill” in her cabin. She says no, because “Something great is not easy to obtain.” But Kayley isn’t looking for anything long-term, so she goes upstairs and makes out with Joe. At least these two are on the same page.
In the morning, Nathan returns to the yacht. He doesn’t want Joe to ever talk about Gael. “It won’t happen again,” says Joe.
Then Nathan softens. “On a personal level, I’m honestly sorry. I promise I won’t react like that again,” he says. Nathan also praises Joe for his work so far, leaving Joe “actually surprised.”
A second stew and a hot-headed charter guest
Johnny and Michelle Damon come back on board. They want a dinner-in-the-dark experience and an escape room challenge. Kayley is “excited to go back and explore ideas for the last one,” she says, after Gen admits she’s done one of these before and “hated it.” A few seconds later, Aesha Kayley makes her second stew.
Angrily, Gen asks in her interview, “Are you serious?” Unfortunately for her, Aesha is.
“Gen may have more experience on paper. But Kayley has this drive and this determination, and so much enthusiasm. She’s like a little Scrappy-Doo,” Aesha tells the camera.
Gen complains to Kat. But in the safety of her confessional, Kat admits she “doesn’t share” her views.
The guests board, one of whom, Josef, is already in the mood. As the deck team prepares to leave the dock, Nathan approaches and politely asks the guests to step inside. Josef grumbles, “If you think I have to fucking listen to you…” Uh oh.
Josef sits nearby, while a few others hang out. Nathan approaches them again and asks them to “go inside, please.” Josef immediately says, “Brother, I went off the rail, and now you’re telling me to go inside, and even more instructions, like, do you want me to go to the bottom center?” He continues to grumble, “Bro, I’m going to rip your face off.”
Josef continues whining about Nathan once inside. But Josef also has an argument with Adis, the woman he came on board with. And Adis wants off the yacht NOW. Captain Sandy drops anchor and grants this poor woman’s request.
A charter guest confronts Nathan
Gen writes a flirty note to Luke as Josef’s reign of terror continues. Josef wants to go jet skiing, so he tells Joe he only had “one cocktail.” Nathan checks him out and discovers something different, and he asks Josef to get out.
Josef confronts Nathan and says, “Tell me I’m wrong.” Nathan does. Josef mutters, “I’m done with this damn guy.”
“You can jump from the second floor of the boat, but my husband says you can’t jet ski,” Josef shouts. “Please don’t be disrespectful to our boatswain,” Aesha orders. “That’s the third time he says: put me in my place,” Josef argues. “He does his job,” Aesha explains.
Josef asks, “Why is he focusing on me?” Without missing a beat, Aesha says, “Because you’re the problem for him.” But no, Nathan is “a problem for me,” Josef thinks. “Just be respectful,” Aesha sighs, then radios Captain Sandy to keep her informed.
Captain Sandy talks to Josef. But during dinner he has no respect several crew membersso Captain Sandy clocks him again. After dinner, Josef goes to the wheelhouse. Nathan gently turns him away.
Josef calls his lawyer and tries to get another woman on board. He then returns to the wheelhouse. “You’re kind of a dick,” he says, sitting down next to Nathan and listing off some of the things he hates about him. In his interview, Nathan boldly admits, “I’m about to get fired.”
Below deck Mediterranean continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It’s streaming on Peacock.
