Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7 Episode 7 recap

The latest episode of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7 didn’t bring much drama to the viewers. It showed Storm trying his level best to be a bosun. While he initially failed in the docking due to a walkie-talkie mishap, he managed to nail it on the next occasion. Captain Sandy Yawn praised the deckhands, especially Jason, who helped the yacht reach the port without hitting anything in between.

Storm was seen overthinking his work and being nervous about his new responsibilities. This might be the downfall of his relationship with second stew Natalya Scudder.

He was seen talking about his work during his first date with her, with the conversation carrying on when the pair joined their co-stars at a restaurant. Natalya looked frustrated and didn’t talk to him on the way back to the boat. In her defense, she stated that she didn’t “do emotional.”

While they struggled to keep their newfound chemistry afloat, chef Dave White and chief stew Natasha Webb’s interaction turned awkward. The two started off the season with positivity by sharing cabins and hooking up. Soon, their past hook-up secrets started troubling Dave, which resulted in their separation.

In the latest episode, Dave confessed that he was in love with Natasha, who told him that she was back together with her ex-boyfriend. Apart from relationship dramas, Episode 7 also featured Kyle Viljoen visiting the hospital due to a toothache.
