Then, Captain Sean's hands-on managerial style continues to frustrate Eddie as the staff works hard to pull off an elaborate beach picnic for the guests.

Fraser feels pulled in multiple directions by his chief stew Heather, which leads to housekeeping falling through the cracks, much to the displeasure of the primary.

On the first night out, two crew members hook up, which could lead to stormy waters ahead for the whole team. Captain Lee arrives, but will his new crew be able to get their act together before the next charter?
