"The deck team's struggle to keep their heads above water is starting to look like an endurance challenge. Who will tap out first? Nathan, who has no recourse other than to pray and hope that Christian and Tessa will listen to what he's saying for once? Will it be Tessa, who walks around the deck like that John Travolta meme, confused at all times?"
"When we pick up this week, Christian is floating away on the Jet Ski with the fuel tank on empty. Tessa forgot to refuel it despite the fact that Nathan explicitly told her it was the most important item on the job list; which, truth be told, might as well not even exist anymore. These people need a different system."
The deck team struggles with leadership and coordination, producing ongoing operational chaos. Christian, Tessa, Nathan, Max, and Captain Sandy cycle through confusion, blame, and inaction. Christian runs out of fuel on a Jet Ski because Tessa neglected refueling despite explicit instruction from Nathan. Max tows Christian back while relishing Schadenfreude. Tessa repeatedly complains that the team feels weak but does not change her approach. Nathan identifies Tessa's lack of urgency and doubts her prior charter experience. Standard checklist procedures fail to enforce accountability, and ad-hoc solutions such as scaring crew into action are suggested.
