Ep 10. Closing Time

The episode titled "Closing Time" opens as the crew of the Wellington yacht gets ready for their final guests of the season. With just one charter left, Captain Sandy is determined to end their journey on a high note. As usual, the crew is on edge and ready to work harder than ever before.

The final charter is a group of women celebrating a bachelorette party, and they bring the energy that the crew needs to get through the last few days. The primary, Sarah, is excited to be celebrating with her friends before her big day. The crew gets to work, decorating the boat and setting the scene for a memorable trip.

As the guests arrive, they are thrilled with the boat and their accommodations. They settle in and start enjoying all that the yacht has to offer. The crew works diligently to make sure that everything is perfect, from the food to the drinks to the activities.

Chef Kiko is particularly nervous for this charter, as he has struggled with some of the previous meals this season. He knows that this is his last chance to impress Captain Sandy and the guests, and he is determined to make it count. He spends hours preparing the meals and takes extra care with every dish.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew is busy making sure that all of the guests' needs are met. They plan a scavenger hunt, arrange a beach day, and even throw a cocktail party on the boat. But as the days go on, tensions start to rise among the crew.

Hannah is feeling the pressure of being the chief stew with just one charter left. She worries that she isn't doing enough, despite the fact that she has been working harder than ever. Bugsy, the second stew, tries to reassure her and help her stay focused on the tasks at hand.

Malia, the bosun, is also feeling the stress. She worries about making sure that all the water toys are ready for the guests and that the boat stays clean, but she is also distracted by the lingering tension between her and Tom, the sous chef. They had a fight the night before, and Malia is unsure how to navigate the situation.

As the final night approaches, the crew prepares for the guests' dinner party. Chef Kiko is nervous but determined to deliver a meal that will be remembered. Despite a few setbacks, he manages to pull it off, and the guests are raving about the food.

But after the party, the crew starts to unwind and reflect on the season. Hannah and Bugsy have a heart-to-heart about their working relationship and express their admiration for each other. Malia and Tom also have a talk and reconcile, putting their differences aside.

Finally, it's time for the crew to say goodbye to the guests and the yacht. They are all emotional, knowing that their journey together is coming to an end. As they say their goodbyes, they reflect on the memories they have made and the lessons they have learned.

The season finale of Below Deck Mediterranean season 5, "Closing Time," is a poignant and emotional end to an unforgettable journey. The crew has faced challenges, overcome obstacles, and built lasting bonds. As they say goodbye to the Wellington yacht, they know that they will never forget the experiences they shared.
