During Season 9, Episode 1 of Below Deck Mediterranean, the guests decided to stay up a bit later than most of the crew, leaving stewardesses Gael Cameron and Elena “Ellie” Dubaich scrambling to make mojitos, nachos, grilled cheeses — really anything they could muster up while chef Johnathan Shillingford was asleep. In a preview for Episode 2, which airs Monday, June 10, the evening continues — and causes a touch of drama in the morning.Watch Below Deck Mediterranean on Mondays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock.

In the daylight, while discussing the guests’ 2 a.m. demands, Johnathan shares a different opinion than Chief Stew Aesha Scott on what should’ve been done in the early hours.

“Did you hear what happened? They tried to wake me up last night,” he tells Aesha in the above clip. “Ellie came in and said ‘They asked for mac and cheese,’ and I said, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t.’ I think she was maybe overwhelmed because she said they were asking for drinks, but I was waking up this morning at six. I couldn’t.”

After a couple of “hmm” acknowledgements, Aesha responds. “To be fair, they said they wanted late night snacks,” she says, to which Johnathan responds “Okay.”

Ultimately, Chef Jono Shillingford was proud of himself for standing his ground and staying rested.

“Last night, I am happy that I did not betray myself,” says the chef while explaining his decision to remain in bed. “Standing up for myself has always been an issue for me, particularly growing up in the closet, so I have to stick with myself and I’m proud of that. I have to do me.”

The “shocking” start to the charter only got worse when Aesha realized that third stew Bri Muller was struggling to get the guests’ laundry done after spending more than six hours steaming clothes. “I remember running around trying to distract the guests about the fact that we don’t have anything, and then I’m suddenly like, ‘Wait, where is Bri? I sent her to go steam these things hours ago.’ And I go down there, and she’s pretty much done, like, four things,” Aesha told The Daily Dish. “I just wanted to explode. It was so irritating.””But you know, I was like, ‘It’s the first day.’ You can’t get too annoyed,” she continued. “Everyone’s settling in. So that’s why I kind of took over the iron, and I was like, ‘I’m gonna do a few things to help catch you up.'”

Aesha Scott has officially made her return to the Med! On Below Deck Mediterranean’s Season 9 premiere, Aesha couldn’t have been more excited to be back “where it all started” and working with Captain Sandy Yawn again. However, things quickly took a turn. How to WatchWatch Below Deck Mediterranean on Monday, June 3 at 9/8c and next day on Peacock.

Then, provisions for the first charter were not only delayed, but had a shocking amount of items missing when they arrived.”I have never had an issue with provisioning like this before,” Aesha said during the episode. “I don’t know what’s going on.”Aesha Scott reacts to the provision issue on the Below Deck Mediterranean premiereAesha reflected on the chaotic experience in a recent interview with The Daily Dish.”The first charter, that honestly was probably the most stressed I have ever been in my whole yachting career,” she said. “It just felt really unfair because I had put so much time and effort [into] preparing and planning and making sure everything was perfect before I joined. Then the provisions didn’t come, and all of the preparations that I did were pointless because [of] all of these reasons that were totally outside of my control … I just felt upset because it just felt so unfair.”

Explaining that “it just felt there was just one thing after another,” Aesha declared, “It was definitely the worst first charter I’ve ever had in my life.” Aesha initially let the laundry issue go because “it was a really intense start of the season,” and Bri was “pretty new” to yachting.”I was hoping it was just the first-day jitters kind of thing,” she explained. However, she said with a laugh, “You’ll see, it’s not quite just the first-day jitters.”
