On tonight's episode of Below Deck Adventure, the crew had a difficult time continuing to manage the charter guests. They had never-ending demands with respect to their choices in food, which led to chef Jess facing a difficult time in the kitchen. In one of the many instances when eggs were served to the guests, a few of them mentioned that they disliked the eggs being too soft and wanted them to be more well-made.

While chef Jess was frustrated with the demands, she still went ahead to fulfill the guests' wishes. However, as soon as she began preparing the eggs, she burnt her hand, causing more issues on the yacht. She broke down and was emotional about how she couldn't work with her hands, considering she was the only chef on the yacht. While she struggled to make things work with a burnt hand, Captain Kerry decided to step up and take charge.

The Below Deck Adventure crew had to get their guests ready for a cycling trip, which meant that chef Jess had to prepare food to set up a picnic while the ladies were out for the activity.

However, with the chef's hand being burnt, there was very little that she could work with to ensure the guests had good food to return to. Captain Kerry realized that he had to step up because they were a man down, considering deckhand Kyle Dickard was fired from the show.

Captain Kerry decided to help out in the kitchen to prepare food for the charter guests. He took over from chef Jess to butcher the kitchen and prepare the chicken salad. As he prepared the chicken, the chef was alongside him, guiding him with how she wanted the salad to be prepared and the chicken to be butchered. With the help of the captain, the kitchen was back into action and they were able to prepare good food for the guests.

In a confessional, the Below Deck Adventure Captain said:

"As a Captain, you got to be ready to put in on all jobs on the boat. When I was in my early twenties, I ran a dive boat that was offshore. And the dive crew was supposed to do the cooking and they were too busy, so I did it."
