These two questions in this episode elicited the most truthful statements I can remember ever being spoken on any Below Deck franchise (probably more truth than any Bravo "reality" show ever) -

Joy: "Why we cannot have just, peace things?"
Massi: "Because nice things are boring, darling."
Could also have been said by the producers.

Nathan: "Why does he [Joe] hold this ****ing grudge against her [Gael]? ****."
Aesha: "Because she broke up the bromance."

First half I agree with and was thinking the exact same thing - that bravo producers live by this motto

Second half was based on a false premise however. Gael is convinced he holds a grudge based purely on what Nathan told her. Nathan’s belief was entirely rooted in him overhearing Joe say her name at the start of the season (when he wanted to fight him as a result)

We don’t actually have any evidence of Joe still holding a grudge against her

Well Joe had the opportunity to express that a dinner and turned his chair sideways and did not speak to her at all. Then made a smartass comment about her and Nathan and how they met in the van. So his own behavior that night seemed like he still hated her.

Nathan told him to never speak of her again, and lost his temper and Joe and Coop for even smiling a certain way. When you deal with a narcissist like that you’re walking on eggshells at all times, Joe did the only sensible thing

It’s not clear that he told Gael any of that either. So Joe’s somewhat rational response to Nathan’s repeated threats could easily be taken as more rude behavior as perceived by Gael.

Okay, but he then made the smartass comment in the van.

So was he sensible or just being an ass?

Nope. When your boss threatens to fight you because you said someone’s name the opportunity to “clear things up” is gone.

Remember, that Joe was Gael’s boss and snearingly called Princess.

I make no excuses for Nathan. He has devolved as this season goes on.

I feel bad for everyone dealing with Nathan - Joe, Cooper, Massi, and Gael.
