Welcome back, Below Deck Down Under<\/a> fans! Last week<\/a>, the cast of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City<\/a> threw the crew into an early tailspin. Not helping, Daisy\u2019s already lost Joe, and Alesia and Ben\u2019s communication styles are failing, but that\u2019s okay, because this week, their guests can\u2019t even take a break from fighting long enough to enjoy their efforts. Here\u2019s what went down in BDDU Season 4 Episode 2.<\/p>\n

What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 2?<\/p>\n

Ben\u2019s doing his best to temper his reactions, but not his sarcasm. Between the growing tensions in his galley, an anchor issue, constant bickering from their guests<\/a>, an injury, an anchor issue, and a budding crush onboard, Episode 2 was all over the map.<\/p>\n

Ben gets zero feedback<\/p>\n

As Mike vacuums up broken glass, their guests mention \u201cdisengaging,\u201d yet they don\u2019t<\/a>. In the galley, Ben asks Alesia for \u201ca little ramekin of butter.\u201d She takes a beat too long, also looking for a spoon. \u201cDidn\u2019t ask for a spoon, did I, love?\u201d Ben quips as Alesia\u2019s face falls.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I f*ck with you, it\u2019s actually a sign of endearment, alright?\u201d Ben says. He then takes a beat and tells her that she\u2019s \u201cfine.\u201d Hey, he\u2019s trying.<\/p>\n

However, their guests aren\u2019t trying anything but each other. As their voices rise, the crew does their best to clear their dishes. Captain Jason was supposed to join them for dessert. But now, NOPE.<\/p>\n

Ben needs to know if they at least enjoyed their dinner. When Daisy admits that she can\u2019t get a word out of them, he heads upstairs. Ben quickly realizes that it\u2019s indeed a lost cause and retreats.<\/p>\n

Eddy\u2019s \u201cgot a great body,\u201d Alesia realizes. In his cabin, Eddy giggles. \u201cShe looked at me,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Britani asks Captain Jason to show her the wheelhouse, so she can \u201cget out of here.\u201d But \u201cHeather\u2019s the primary.\u201d So he\u2019s \u201cnot flirting with anybody but her<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everyone heads to bed. Bronwyn sleeps on a deckchair. In the morning, Betul and Eddy quietly clean around her.<\/p>\n

Ben decides \u201cto teach\u201d Alesia. Outside, Jo\u00e3o does the same with Betul. Their anchor\u2019s chain is jammed. But as they work to release it, the same problem keeps happening.<\/p>\n

Finally, 52 minutes later, all is well. But not in the galley. After arguing about shallots versus onions, Alesia admits that Ben\u2019s mood swings suck.<\/p>\n

The yacht anchors for a beach picnic, but since they\u2019re running behind, the crew has to head to the beach with the guests. They set everything up as the RHOSLC ladies wait. \u201cIt\u2019s like being in bed with your hot hookup and slipping out a fart,\u201d Daisy suggests.<\/p>\n

Betul and Eddy smartly distract their guests with massages and liquor. Even still, the ladies start fighting \u2026 again.<\/p>\n

Alesia\u2019s \u201cunraveling,\u201d she admits to her mother. Her mother encourages her to keep her chin up.<\/p>\n

Back at the beach, Eddy silences the ladies with snorkeling masks. His dad passed away when he was little. But he knows he would be so happy with the life that Eddy\u2019s built.<\/p>\n

Heather asks to move their lunch indoors. Sighing, Daisy and Jenna pivot. On deck, Betul opens up, noting that in her family\u2019s Muslim religion, male-dominated careers are not on the table. But \u201cif you want something, you have to fight for it,\u201d and that\u2019s exactly what Betul did.<\/p>\n

Heather changes her mind. Only four of them will eat in the saloon. The rest can eat in their cabins, because she needs a break. The crew pivots yet again.<\/p>\n

Daisy wants everything plated due to these changes. But Ben thinks family-style looks better, so he silently \u201cgoes against\u201d her wishes. \u201cThe f*cking guests are chaotic, now Ben\u2019s chaotic, give me a f*cking break,\u201d Daisy says.<\/p>\n

At least Eddy\u2019s still being adorable. \u201cI swam with a turtle,\u201d he proudly tells Alesia. Eddy fanices her, he admits.<\/p>\n

Mike used to be a stripper. So tonight, Lisa wants him to twerk on Heather during their zombie-themed dinner. Mike\u2019s all in.<\/p>\n

Angie and Bronwyn emerge wearing inflatable sea creature costumes, but a door closes on Angie\u2019s hand, causing a lot of blood<\/a> to spill out. Captain Jason cleans her up.<\/p>\n

The ladies sit for dinner. Mary\u2019s glass is dirty. Mike fixes that<\/a> while lying to Daisy, saying it was clean. After 2.1 seconds of peace, chaos returns, but it\u2019s like \u201cwhite noise\u201d to Daisy now, so it\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n

In the galley, Alesia messes up the desserts. As Ben reveals, this was a test, and Alesia failed. They bash each other in their confessionals.<\/p>\n

Captain Jason joins the ladies for dessert. Even still, they argue. As they try to get his opinions, Daisy gives him an excuse to leave. He thanks her in a joint confessional.<\/p>\n

Mike, Eddy, and Jo\u00e3o arrive to dance with their single guests. They love it, and everyone goes to bed. In the morning, Ben tells Alesia that Eddy is \u201cdefinitely flirting\u201d with her. She\u2019s a fan of this statement, but her muffins still \u201clook like sh*t,\u201d Ben adds, throwing them away.<\/p>\n

Daisy and Mike overhear. This might be \u201ca long season,\u201d they note. They\u2019re right. In Alesia\u2019s confessional, she suggests that Ben \u201cgo f*ck himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The camera pans, showing makeup, blood, and self-tanner stains everywhere on the yacht. And then we see Alesia in her cabin, phoning Season 3\u2019s Brianna Duffield<\/a> to vent. Alesia wants to quit. She heads to the wheelhouse, alerting Captain Jason to the same, as the words TO BE CONTINUED appear.<\/p>\n

Below Deck Down Under<\/a> continues Mondays at 8\/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.<\/p>\n
