Eddie has now set his eyes on becoming a captain. Everyone on the team is working overtime to complete two days’ worth of work.

Episode 2 - Hex on the Beach

When the team went out to eat together, Amy Johnson and Kat Held’s previous issues resurfaced. The ladies chose to remain silent because they didn’t want to discuss it in front of everyone, but Kate Chastain noticed. She also wanted to know why someone else didn’t like Kat, just like a shark that sensed blood in the sea.

Jennice, Kelley, and Kat were having fun on the swing when it abruptly overturned, sending Kelley sprawling to the ground. Amy, who was understandably concerned about her brother, was on the verge of tears when Kat unexpectedly approached her and tried to console her.

Episode 3 - Mojitos, Mo' Problems

The women go to the kitchen to talk to the chef Ben Robinson, who shows them how to cook conk and provides them with cooking lessons. While Ben feeds each woman individually, all the women swoon over him. Making the beds for the guests while chattering about Kate, who they believe has been particularly depressed.

The visitors had a wild party the night before in an attempt to recreate their golden years, and Andrew was up at 6:00 AM to try and clean the deck. In addition to picking up all of the poker chips, cigars, and empty cups and drinks, Andrew cleans the deck. They set out towards the shore after Captain Lee takes up the anchor.

The charter is done, but the passengers won’t leave the yacht because they are in denial, and Kate is still taking their drink orders. Captain Lee convenes a meeting when they finally leave the boat.

Episode 4 - Charter Guest Soulmate

During deck sailing, the guests gripe while they eat dinner because it is taking too long. Ben acknowledges that the food has taken a while, but he believes that the quality will make them forget the wait. When one inebriated female alleges there was plastic in her food, his optimism is immediately dashed.

Ben and Kate both agree that what is on their plates is bull when they take them downstairs. They notice that the plastic from the bottle they brought in has come off. Mr. Slover demands a meeting with Ben and Kate and that all future dinners for them last no longer than an hour.

The visitors think Kate really despises them, and Slover decides he will confront them about it. He summons her to the deck and essentially slams her for never smiling. After giving them everyone shots, Kate cancels the pirate activity she had planned with them.

Episode 5 - Bitchy Resting Face

Crew member Kelley tells Amy that he kissed Jennice but that she shoved him away while they were in the laundry room. He receives encouragement from Amy, who assures him that she didn’t reject him and that she admires him for taking such a risk.

The crew greets Dean on deck as he and two of the guests leave early to bid them farewell and send them off. Dean admits that he laughed and thought the penis/rocketship blanket joke was amusing. The crew forms a line to say goodbye as Captain Lee brings the last few guests to the harbor.

Episode 6 - Strains, Stains, and a Big Pain

Below Deck S2 - Ben got enraged at the kitchen

Ben gets enraged in the kitchen at the guests’ dissatisfaction with the dinner service. Although he had the meal prepared, Kate didn’t have any young women to serve. She points out that Kat wouldn’t have taken a break in the middle of service if he hadn’t opted to prepare a four-course meal.

Amy is the recipient of Kelley’s rant over what happened between him and Jennice. He believes she attempted to escape the situation by using her anger issues as an excuse so she wouldn’t have to deal with it. He sobs to Amy, telling her that he can’t take any more of the drama.

Kat informs Amy and Kate that she would never do that and then just leave the pillow on the bed, and Ben and Kat giggle about the “jizz pillow” the following morning in the kitchen. They are adamant that they aren’t the ones who ruined the pillow.

As Eddie and Kat escort the visitors ashore, Beverly announces that she will be meeting a friend. Kat is surprised to learn that Adrian, the head stewardess from the previous season (Season 1)who made Kat’s life miserable, is her friend.

In an effort to get the passengers off the boat, Kate and the stewardesses are practically packing their bags for them. After the visitors have finally left, Captain Lee calls a crew meeting. Everyone is relieved that the guests from hell have left and shocked at the paltry tip they left them after putting up with their antics.

The entire Ohana crew heads to the beach for some cocktails and to let their hair down. When Jennice sits down alone to facetime with her lover, Kelley observes from afar as he essentially tries to break up with her by complaining that their relationship isn’t working out.

Episode 8 - New Kid on the Dock

Below Deck S2 - new deckhand Logan Reese

Everyone is excited when the new deckhand, Logan Reese, finally arrives. However, as soon as the stews get a good look at him, the competition for his attention begins. When Amy is left on a late-night service by herself with a crowd of hard-partying customers, she must phone for assistance.

Captain Lee is getting ready to dock the boat at a different dock. He worries, though, that the slip is too small and the boat won’t fit. The boat has a problem that causes it to constantly lurch forward. Everyone on the deck is staring at and watching the crew as they hold their breath.

However, Captain Lee is able to dock the boat without any problems. The staff forms a line to bid their visitors farewell.

Episode 9 - You're Grounded

Below Deck S2 - Kat and Kate on the beach

The stewardesses have a busy day because they have to organize a beach party for the visitors and a birthday party back on the boat. Ay is instructed to remain on the boat and assist Ben in getting ready for the birthday party while Kat and Kate decide to take the guests to the beach and set up their party.

Amy is hurriedly hanging birthday invitations. Kate radioed her to inform her that the visitors were leaving and would return soon.

Episode 10 - Premature Corkulation

Below Deck S2 - Jennice accepts Kelley's invitation on a date

Cast member Jennice accepts Kelley’s invitation on a date, but things don’t exactly go as planned.

Ben irritates Kate by removing her from dinner service and substituting Amy.

Amy serves a cinnamon-seared steak after first serving clams with horse radish. Tim and his girlfriend ask for a quesadilla with dipping sauce and complain that Ben didn’t take their preferences into consideration.

Episode 11 - Dry Land, Damp Eyes

Below Deck S2 - crew bids farewell to guests

As they prepare for the season’s last charter and Dean’s welcoming comeback. A previous charter guest was the target of Kate’s iconic “Penis Blanket” rage. Tensions among Ohana’s crew reach a breaking point. After Amy botches the dinner service, Kate adamantly takes over.

On the deck, the guests are waiting for breakfast while Ben oversleeps on the last day of the charter. They start griping that they haven’t eaten and are going in 30 minutes. Ben starts hurrying around the kitchen, and the deckhands assist him in quickly preparing a full meal.

As soon as the last charter is over, the stewardesses and deckhands assemble on the deck to bid Dean and his guests farewell. Dean rushes to Captain Lee that he had a fantastic day and that the crew was well worth the tip.

Episode 12 - Crew Tells All

Below Deck S2 - crew of MY Ohana

With never-before-seen cast interviews and footage, the MY Ohana crew discusses what they genuinely think of one another, their occupations, and the yacht they call home. The deckhands recall the chaos of the boat and the frequent fixes that kept them employed as Amy summons the guts to admit the crew crush she’s been keeping a secret all season.

This season, Timothy Sykes, a self-made millionaire who specializes in penny stocks, was by far the funniest guest on The Ohana. We missed a hilarious episode of Timothy’s charter this season where he tried to teach the crew and stews how to trade penny stocks and amass as much cash as he does.

The next embarrassing clip, Amy and Eddie’s farewell, was never shown. Amy waxes lyrical about Eddie’s leadership and her admiration for him before revealing that she has had a crush on him all boating season. Following, her brother Kelley giggles uncontrollably because he hears the entire exchange.
