The crew of the Parsifal III is in for a wild ride in season 2 episode 6 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, titled "Throuple Trouble." The episode begins with the aftermath of a night out, as deckhand Sydney and third stew Alli discuss their respective make-out sessions with first mate Gary and new deckhand JL. While Alli seems to be moving on from her prior romantic entanglements, Sydney is still pining after Gary, which sets the stage for a potential love triangle.
Meanwhile, the charter guests for this week are a trio of friends who have been in a throuple for over a decade: Dani, Allie, and their shared partner Steven. The crew is a bit taken aback by this relationship dynamic, but they try to maintain their professionalism as they prepare the yacht for the guests' arrival. Once the guests are on board, they immediately start making advances on the crew, particularly Dani, who seems to have her eye on both Gary and Colin, the dashing Australian chef.
As the days go by, tensions rise between the throuple and the crew, as the guests become increasingly demanding and difficult to please. Allie and Steven seem to be just along for the ride, but Dani is a constant source of drama, constantly flirting with the crew and throwing tantrums when things don't go her way. The crew is struggling to keep up with the guests' endless requests, and tensions are also brewing between the crew members themselves, as Sydney's feelings for Gary lead to friction between her and Alli.
The crew is also dealing with some technical difficulties on the yacht, which puts even more pressure on them to keep things running smoothly for the guests. Captain Glenn tries to keep everyone on track, but he's also dealing with some personal issues back home, which weigh heavily on him throughout the episode.
Despite all of these obstacles, the crew manages to pull off a successful charter, thanks in large part to Colin's excellent cooking and the efforts of the hardworking deck and interior teams. However, as the guests depart and the crew prepares for their next adventure, it's clear that the drama and tension on the Parsifal III is far from over. Whether it's Sydney and Alli's love triangle, Dani's antics, or the overall stress of working in such a demanding environment, everyone is feeling the strain as they sail on to their next destination.
