Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: Stay Toxic, Queen

Key Highlights

• It’s a kind gesture that is spurred, in part, by Nathan, who notices that V is not getting better and alerts the captain.
• The minute V is off the boat, Joe starts messing around.
• In a confessional right before she leaves, V says, painfully: “Don’t change anything, I’ll be right back.” Screwing around on a woman when she is sick and grieving is so mean-spirited, like kicking a dog or knocking an ice-cream cone off a kid’s hand or something.
• Kizzi and Joe’s flirtations begin when V is still onboard but scarce; after Kizzi tells David that she can’t jeopardize her job by hooking up with him — I called it!
• — she tells Joe, also on the late shift, that she tends to attract needy men.
