Welcome back,Below Deck Down Underfans!Last week, Ellie angrily flew out of the galley, hellbent on throwing Ben under the bus with Captain Jason. Elsewhere, Mike also grew annoyed, but his problems were with Alesia. But now, things are falling further apart for both of these pairings on BDDU Season 4 Episode 9.
What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Episode 9?
Ben and Ellie clashover a dinner service. Even though Ellie loves hierarchy, she refuses to respect Ben, so Daisy and Captain Jason have no choice but to intervene. Meanwhile, Daisy also has to scold certain members of her team. Unfortunately, their mistakes in the interior are starting to add up.
Ellie runs to Captain Jason
Ellie sees only red, not her guests. One of these guests, Sofia, tells Ellie, "Hey." But, Ellie remains on hermission to reach Captain Jason, so she quickly snaps back, "Sorry, can't do it right now." Ameerah, another guest, sarcastically responds, "Okay?"
Finally, Ellie reaches the sundeck. She calls out Ben's communication skills and pet-naming patterns. Captain Jason thought they were doing well, so he's confused, as is Ben.
"With no inkling of prior unhappiness, this is all coming as a big, big shock to me," Ben admits. Back on the sundeck, Captain Jason tells Ellie, "You've got boundaries, and you need to communicate with him."
In his talking head, Captain Jason also blames Ellie for losing her cool "ten minutes before dinner." He will "monitor this" situation. Ellie returns to the galley, where Ben notes his weariness "working around" her energy. "I've worked around your energy every single day, Ben," Ellie angrily refutes, adding, "Get over it."
"Never in my entire life have I seen somebody go at their boss in the galley like this," Daisy admits. This is fair but has Daisy had a boss who refuses to address people by their names?
Mike drops the ball
"Let's be extra vigilant on toilet paper, and also the side cabinets,"Alesia tells Mike. Several beats later, Daisy reminds Alesia to place flowers, champagne, and red wine in the primary suite.
Back in the galley, Ben asks João for help, but Ellie argues, "No, that's my job, and I'll do my job. We're not doing that. You're not going to do this sh*t to me. I don't accept that, ever again."
Jenna remains frustrated with Alesia, but Ellie is the second female to feel uncomfortable around Ben, she notes. Speaking of Alesia, she reminds Mike to "do the day head." So, Mike pops off in his confessional.
"Alesia's younger than me, she's a lot less mature than everybody on this boat, and she's already failed in the galley. So, it gets under my skin when Alesia tries to delegate," Mike reasons. "I don't need the extra management," he states, right as Alesia explains in her talking head, "Mike needs management."
Alesia asks Mike to take the wine, flowers, and champagne to the primary cabin. Mike says okay, but then he heads downstairs and loudly chugs water instead. Clay enters his cabin, confused. Clay finds Jenna, kindly reminding her about his preferences.
Jenna scolds Mike. Daisy is also upset. This was a major f*ck up for her team.

Ben gets "frazzled" by Ellie
Ben owns his behaviors. But Ellie sternly asserts that her "reaction was justified because you were belittling me. And I stood up for myself, which I will continue doing." Ben asks Ellie to go to bed, but Ellie remains heated.
"Daisy, she's going crazy on Ben," Mike whispers. Daisy heads downstairs, just in time to hear Ellie threatening Ben with a "Don't try me" statement. She sends Ellie to bed, but even as Ellie exits, she warns Ben that she will react like this again if needed.
Ben sends Captain Jason a Mayday text. In the morning, Captain Jason calls Daisy to the wheelhouse. Ellie is more to blame, Daisy admits. Ben heads in after, and he and Captain Jason agree to reassess things in 48 hours.
Ben's guests (understandably) hate their "watery," "gross," eggs. He is messing up, since he feels "frazzled" by Ellie. However this is no excuse for a "professional" chef. Captain Jason pulls Ellie in for a chat.
In the wheelhouse, Ellie explains that Ben "kept jabbing" at her, so she snapped. She "went a little too far," though,Captain Jason clocks. He calls out her "swearing, yelling," and "storming past the guests" antics. Ellie will do better, but Ben needs to as well, she answers.
Captain Jason lays down the law
The primary charter guests, Clay and Marc, are renewing their vows tonight on the sundeck. As Eddy and Jenna set the scene, their flirtations resume. Jenna "might be over" their issues now.
But she's not over Mike. He's moving slowly, which makes Jenna mad. Mike likes ribbing Jenna, so he starts winding her up even more. Daisy inserts herself, yelling, "Jenna and Mike, let's go!"
Captain Jason practices his officiating role using Daisy and João as his stand-ins. They giggle, and it's perhaps the only fun part of this episode, minus Marc and Clay's extra-precious wedding ceremony.
In the morning, Daisy finds a cleaning cloth in one of the rooms. Alesia blames Mike, but the cameras show it was actually her. The guests depart.
Captain Jason calls Ellie and Ben to the wheelhouse. "Where this has got tois not acceptable. We're trying to get a job done, so I think you guys need to have a chat now and understand that, emotionally, [Ellie] wants respect there. I want to see a result, and if you have a problem with that, we make changes," he demands, as the words TO BE CONTINUED appear on the screen.
