We’re back with the recap for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, Episode 5. Last week, Chef Cloyce was late serving lunch, and the captain wasn’t happy about it. Daisy hired a mermaid and a DJ to celebrate the primary guest’s 60th birthday, while Cloyce’s birthday cake was a disaster. And Danni and Diana bickered over who does cabins and who gets to do service. Here’s exactly what went down in BDSY Season 5, Episode 5: “Bean Counter.”
What happened in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, Episode 5?
In this week’s episode, Gary gets more frustrated with Emma in direct proportion to her own anxiety about her job performance. Danni thinks Keith should lighten up and be more flirty with her, but he’s just trying to remain professional in front of the guests. Danni’s ability to banter with the guests and make “the perfect three-bean espresso martini” annoys Diana. And despite Keith’s interest in Danni, she ends the evening swimming in the bay and making out with Gary. Here are some of the highlights from BDSY Season 5, Episode 5.
More cooking, less swimming this charter
Charter number three is a “quick overnight charter,” according to Captain Glenn. Tiffany and Daniel from Dallas are the primaries. Tiffany was on The Real Housewives of Dallas. I never watched that one, but I’ve heard she’s a great woman.
Daisy gives Cloyce a pep talk and assures him that “we are in this together.” Hopefully, he’ll get his act together this charter and “bring up the bar.”
“No swimming this charter,” Glenn reminds him. It doesn’t seem like there will be much of an opportunity if it’s just an overnight – but let’s see how it goes…
Gary questions Emma’s lack of deck skills
Gary’s getting more frustrated with Emma. “I’m slowly starting to realize that her work ethic is not all there,” he says. “There’s no motivation or drive.”
The guests are only on the boat for one night, so as soon as they leave the harbor, it’s time for a sail. When Glenn wants to tack in the other direction, Emma is too slow pulling up the “lazy sheet,” and they lose the wind, coming to a standstill.
“Timing is very important because you can lose the wind,” Glenn explains. “If the timing is wrong, it’ll mess everything up.”
Finally, Glenn radios Emma to find out what she’s doing. “I can’t bring any more out at all,” she responds. “Nothing more is coming out.”
“This is f*cking ridiculous,” Gary complains, going to check on his deckhand. He tells her to throw her body weight into pulling the line out, and it begins to move.
“F*cking hell,” he mutters, walking away.
“Parsifal’s the biggest boat I’ve worked on,” Emma says. “Gary comes down on his f*cking white horse with his cape flying in the wind. And, of course, maybe I’m doing it wrong, and I’m just a poor little weak girl, and I can’t do it … I’m just f*cking inept.”
Later, Gary goes to the captain and asks to chat. “It’s come to my attention that Emma’s a lot greener than we originally thought,” he says. “There’s a lack of urgency, lack of drive.”
Glenn thinks she just needs to understand “what’s going on with the sails” and tells Gary to keep working with her and see if she improves.
The missing espresso bean signifies bad luck
It’s Japanese night on the Parsifal III, so the guests of course want Japanese food.
“I am not an experienced Japanese chef,” Cloyce says in a confessional. “But sophomore year of high school, when we studied world cuisine, honed my craft in the Asian cuisine department. But that was a while ago. So, this is either going to be incredibly chill, or this will be the worst thing I have ever done.”
One of the guests requests an espresso martini, but when Diana delivers it, he says, “Excuse me, this is bad luck. It’s missing one bean.”
There are only two coffee beans floating in his drink. “I love health and wealth, but I need the happiness.” I did not know that, and neither did Diana.
But rather than apologizing and bringing him one more bean, she snaps, “I’m giving you decaf from now on.” Huh? That’s NOT how to treat a guest.
“Yeah, she hates you, bro,” one of his friends laughs.
“Diana, even if they’re an assh*le,” Daisy tells her, “Try not to let it get to you.”
Diana insists she was only joking and she doesn’t care, Daisy reminds her that “they care.”
When Danni makes him a second one with three beans in it, he says, “That’s what I’m talking about! Three-bean classic. Cheers to health, wealth, and happiness.” He gives Danni a hug and says she’s the best. Diana looks less than pleased.
“It’s annoying to my ego,” Diana interviews. “Go f*ck yourself.”
Emma’s anxiety gets the best of her
Emma’s got the anchor watch. Sadly, rather than finishing her work and monitoring the anchor, Emma falls asleep in the cockpit. When she wakes up, she has to scramble to finish all the cleaning she was supposed to be doing overnight.
“I definitely noticed a lapse in where I thought the boat would be in the morning,” Keith says. “At this point, the boat should be 100% dry.” He tells Gary that the deck was soaked when he got up.
“So what happened with rinsing the boat last night?” Gary asks Emma.
“I rinsed the boat last night,” she says. She doesn’t tell him she fell asleep and didn’t rinse it until 6:00 am.
At dinner, Emma and Daisy take a smoke break away from the rest of the crew. Emma tells Daisy that she feels like she’s screwing up and having anxiety about not doing a good job.
Daisy advises her not to take Gary’s criticism to heart. “The more you let it eat at you,” Daisy tells her, “the more you’re going to ruin your own experience.” Daisy’s had her own issues with Gary.
Emma’s anxiety is making her feel sick and shaky. She goes outside to get some air, and Daisy tells her she needs to drink some water “even though it tastes gross.”
“Emma’s definitely struggling,” Daisy says. She’s really hard on herself and in her own head. Emma decides to go back to the boat and get some rest. Daisy explains to the rest of the crew that she thinks Emma has heat exhaustion.
Danni finally gets the attention she’s been looking for
Keith thinks Danni’s being “cold” to him tonight, so he says, “Let’s get a drink and go chat.”
Danni feels like Keith decides when they can have fun. “I’m constantly flirting,” she says, but he refused to banter when they were on the cliff together. But he explains that he was trying to be professional in front of the guests. He’s not wrong.
“We’re here to do a job,” he says.
But when they go to the dance club, Danni switches her attention to Gary, which annoys Keith. Daisy consoles him in the cab on the way back to the boat. “Don’t ever be apologetic for being sensitive,” she tells him.
“Keith is such a nice person,” Daisy interviews. “He’s good-looking; he’s hardworking; he’s funny; he’s charming. I think he’ll be a great partner. That’s really unfair, but nice guys finish last.”
Back at the boat, Gary and Danni are in the hot tub together. She’s loving that he’s finally giving her the attention she craves. But will Gary and Danni’s hookup just cause more drama between her and Daisy?
They end the evening by jumping off the boat into the water and making out. “Whoops,” she says.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.
