Im dreading writing this one, readers.
This episode was a snooze, but nevertheless, she (me) persists (writes the recap).
I feel like Im picking over someone elses leftovers.
I guess we can start with the Gary-Ashley-Scarlett triangle.
Ashley sighs; Gary leaves.
Scarlett and Gary pull a Paige and Carl ofSummer Housefame and make out in the pantry mere moments later.
Hes pulling out all the stops.
I cant figure out how his brain works.
And if Colin, an engineer, cant figure it out, I dont think any of us can.
And at the same time, I kind of get the Gary thing in a freaky sort of way.
She sees Gary for what he is.
Would she ever hook up with him?
Yes, and she has.
But she doesnt actually care about himlike that.
Scarlett says she gets a vibe from Daisy that she has a thing for Gary.
This is objectively wrong!
They have a bond, yes.
Theyve worked together, in close quarters, for years.
Maybe she flirts with him, but its harmless fun.
Lets contextualize when, why, and how Scarlett says this, shall we?
He claims it looks more professional for a stew to be onboard since hell be busy driving.
Oh, and also he wants Scarlett specifically!
This isnt a beach lunch!
Her stews have work to do!
Oh, wait, its because he wants to flirt with Scarlett out at sea.
This is not going to work for Daisy.
Daisy goes,Fine Gary, you win, but Ill be the stew joining.
Of course, Daisy does nothing aboard … nothing but prove her point.
Her presence on the tender is useless, and she pours nary a drink while the guests splash around.
Okay, with this in mind, I bring you to part two.
As Daisy and Scarlett turn down beds and whatnot, Daisy lets it rip.
Shes fuming at Gary for overstepping and trying to call the shots forherdepartment.
All Gary does all day is cause trouble, she says.
Mama is mad because she doesnt stop.
Take a look in the mirror, pal!
Its worth noting that Ive never seen Daisy this bothered!
Some might say its because she has a crush on Gary and its finally getting to her.
Enemies to lovers, perhaps?
No, I say.
Its because hes being fucking annoying and creating more work for Daisy.
Anyway, Gary later says sorry to Daisy for picking a fight with her and admits it was petty.
This behavior unsettles Daisy (and me), but she accepts his apology and moves on.
I commend Scarlett for being straight up with Ashley, though.
Scarlett pulls Ashley aside to let her know Garys coming onto her.
Does that bother you?
Okay, enough with that!
Poor Marcos has his work cut out for him!
Not a problem, he says; he is simply there to fill any chef fantasy they may have.
That same guest compares his green-bean tempura to a dish at P.F.
Speaking of which, these guests seem to have the worlds blandest palates.
Theyre afraid to eat duck and quail eggs but manage to choke them down.
Dont worry, sweeties, youll be back in the land of safe foods soon.
We dont get to watch the race.
Instead, the episode ends with a To be continued … and readers, I havehighexpectations.
From the Galley
Ashleys junior stewart chyron was too good.
Thank you, producers.
Glenn in a sparkly pom-pom wig is everything.
