Ep 3. A Whole Yacht of Scandal

As the crew of the Lady Michelle attempts to navigate their way through the third episode in season seven of Below Deck Mediterranean, tensions run high and secrets are revealed. In the aptly titled episode, "A Whole Yacht of Scandal," viewers are brought along on a journey that includes a guest who has a hidden agenda, romantic strife amongst the crew, and the constant struggles of serving those with extreme wealth.

The episode begins with the crew still recovering from the previous charter's dramatic exit. Captain Sandy makes it clear that she won't tolerate any more nonsense and that they must remain focused on the job at hand. However, their new guests--a group of wealthy men and women--seem to have brought their own set of issues with them. It quickly becomes apparent that one of the guests, a woman by the name of Delaney, has an ulterior motive for being on the yacht. Her intentions are unclear, but she wastes no time in making her presence known.

Meanwhile, the romantic entanglements of the crew continue to play out. Chef Mathew seems to have his sights set on deckhand Lexi, but she is hesitant to let him get too close. In contrast, bosun Malia appears to be having a fling with one of the new deckhands, but she worries that their relationship will create drama and disrupt the work environment. As the tension between the two women grows, Captain Sandy tries to address the situation before it causes any more problems.

Despite the personal issues of the crew, they must still continue to cater to the guests' every need. This proves to be particularly challenging when it comes to a few of their more unusual requests. Delaney's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, and the rest of the guests seem to be more interested in partying than anything else. As the requests pile up, the crew must work even harder to meet the high standards of the Lady Michelle's wealthy clientele.

Amidst all of this chaos, the crew also faces technological issues that threaten to derail their plans. When the boat's stabilizers malfunction, Captain Sandy realizes that they must bring in a specialist to make repairs. This only adds to their stress levels and makes it even more difficult for them to keep up with the guests' outlandish requests.

Despite the ups and downs of the episode, the crew remains steadfast in their commitment to serving the Lady Michelle's guests. As they work hard to overcome every obstacle in their path, viewers are taken along for the ride. "A Whole Yacht of Scandal" offers a glimpse into the glamorous and stressful world of luxury yachting, where the demands of the super-rich must be met at all costs.
