Faye joins Mercury Yacht Mercury as chief stew with experience from all over the world as a former businesswoman, but when she finds out her team of stews know each other, she worries how their past will serve the interior.
The first adventure of the season sends the charter on a caving expedition, but it's Kyle who ends up digging himself into a hole by flirting with Kasie in front of guests.
Lewis warns Kyle that his bad behavior has Captain Kerry on high alert; when the Mercury engines fail, Kerry has to rely on his young deck crew to execute a precarious docking.
