Before we get into the entree of this weeks episode, Id like to serve up an amuse-bouche.

Meaning that he will call his mom and tell her about his insomnia and dreams about buying donkeys.

Meaning that he will nibble on a crunchy cracker in tranquility.

I am so proud of our captain for soaking up his solitude while he can.

Preserving ones inner peace is vital for surviving life at sea.

Speaking of preserving ones inner peace: Gabriela officially disembarks theParsifal III.

I mean, we all saw this coming.

We all read the blind items.

I was impressed by Gabrielas self-awareness throughout this episode (and season!)

and disappointed when she sniped at Marcos at the villa.

I know shes better than this.I was rooting for you!

But after a phone call with a friend Cookie she decides enough is enough.

And I respect that.

And Gabriela knows that!

Which is why she quit!

Gabriela asks Captain Glenn for a chat and remains calm and clear throughout their conversation.

She is poised and powerful!

I love my job.

I love what I do.

But I dont want to disappoint you or let anybody down.

I want to be a part of the crew.

I dont want them to feel uncomfortable around me.

I dont want it to affect them either.

Im feeling like its the healthiest thing for me to leave the boat …

Honestly, Im going to bookmark this for the next time I quit a job.

Captain Glenn is of course beyond understanding.

I am so sick and tired of the Gabriela-Marcos bickering and the Gabriela-Ashley-Gary love triangle.

And to be clear: I dont blame Gabriela, even though shes the common denominator.

I would have been more than happy to sub out Ashley for a new stew, for that matter!

Daisy is her new big sister.

Gary is Ashleys crush.

Thank you, Psych 101. suggests a threesome, and I was truly scared shitless.

I said to God: Do not let me witness a threesome between these people!

Back onboard, Gary heads for the hot tub, and Ashley joins him.

Gabriela and Colin shine at this moment.

They sit back and observe the trainwreck that is Gary and Ashley.

These two are the comedic relief, the narration, the voice of reason.

Ashleys desperate for Gary like, its out of control how desperate she is, Colin says.

A quick digression: Colin is nothing if not consistent.

If someones hooking up with Gary, Colins going to express equal parts shock and awe every time.

Its seriously like he has this magic wand and he can cast a spell on these girls.

To be fair, even Gary is slightly confused by girls who want to sleep with him.

At the villa, Gary says to Daisy, Who would have sex with me on a normal basis?

Let alone when Im paralytically fucked?

Will their love saga continue?

Do any of these girls ever pause and think,Were fighting over Gary?Who knows.

Also giving the crew a run for their money will be next weeks charter guests.

In girlboss we trust!

From the Galley

Daisy displays expert-level Irish-dancing skills.

Why didnt she perform this at the talent show earlier in the season?
