Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 Episode 6 Recap: A Brewing Storm and a Complicated Love Triangle
Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 continues to deliver high-seas drama with Episode 6, titled “The Tempest.” As storms rage both outside and within the yacht, new alliances form, tensions rise, and a messy love triangle threatens to shake up the crew. Here’s a detailed recap of everything that went down in this emotional and entertaining installment.
The Deck Crew Faces a Literal and Emotional Storm
The episode kicks off following last week’s major shake-up — two deckhands departed, and Joe Bradley returned to the crew. V has officially joined the deck team, and while she’s proving herself as a capable new member, she’s also catching Joe’s attention. Unfortunately, Joe’s feelings aren’t exclusive — he also has his eyes on Kizzi, creating an immediate love triangle that could spell trouble.
Meanwhile, Chef Josh struggles in the galley after a difficult previous charter. A demanding vegan guest, Carlos, continues to test his patience, pushing Josh to his limits. But after taking a brief break to clear his head, Josh returns to the kitchen determined to win back his critics with a perfectly executed quiche.
The Weather Turns and the Crew Pulls Together
Things seem to improve as the yacht finally leaves the dock after days of bad weather. Captain Sandy Yawn gives the go-ahead for departure, and the newly restructured deck team executes flawlessly. Once anchored, the primary guest LaDonna heads out for some fun on the jet ski, while V and Joe bond over knot-tying lessons — a tender moment that hints at growing affection.
But the calm doesn’t last long. A storm rolls in, and chaos erupts when the tender boat drifts away. In one daring move, Max dives into the water to retrieve it, with V right behind him. Their teamwork impresses both the crew and the guests. As the yacht returns safely to dock, Nathan and Captain Sandy note how valuable V has become to the deck team — foreshadowing her possible reassignment later in the episode.
Tension and Flirtation During the Guest Dinner
While the guests enjoy a lavish dinner, Aesha worries about the charter’s rough start and works to lift everyone’s mood. Her team sets up a high tea and dance party to inject some fun back into the trip. The plan works — even as Joe struggles to balance his flirtations with both V and Kizzi.
In one corner, Kizzi practices sultry dance moves with Joe, teasing their chemistry. In another, Joe confides to Nathan that he’s torn between the two women. As Nathan wisely warns, “Just don’t mess around with the boat.”
Meanwhile, the guests warm up to Josh’s food again, particularly his dessert, which wins over the critics. The evening ends on a high note, but backstage, Kizzi’s frustration grows over V’s split duties between interior and deck, prompting Aesha to promise extra support.
V’s Big Career Move
The next day brings a mix of emotion and change. After a heartwarming moment where Aesha helps LaDonna find her late daughter’s headband, Captain Sandy meets with Aesha and Nathan to discuss the crew structure.
Both agree that V has been excelling on deck, and Captain Sandy makes it official: V will move full-time to the deck team. The decision leaves the interior shorthanded, but Norma — Bravo’s ever-present crew coordinator — already has a new stew lined up.

As the charter wraps, the guests leave behind an impressive $40,000 tip, the biggest of the season so far. Spirits are high as the crew celebrates, but emotions quickly get complicated.
Kizzi, still entangled with her boyfriend Tommy, seems conflicted about her growing attraction to Joe. Nathan encourages her to break up with Tommy if she’s ready to move on. Meanwhile, Joe confides that he’s saving money to buy his mother an apartment — a gesture that softens V’s heart even more.
Later that night, during the crew’s bar outing, Joe and V share flirty dances, while Kizzi watches from afar, growing increasingly emotional. When she finally calls Tommy, she admits, “I just wanna kiss someone.” The confession leads to an explosive breakup, leaving Kizzi in tears. “I f*cking hate boys,” she sobs — a line that perfectly sums up her frustration and heartbreak.

With Kizzi newly single, the love triangle between her, Joe, and V is bound to escalate. Joe’s torn between two very different women: V, who brings out his softer side, and Kizzi, who tempts him with passion and chaos.
Meanwhile, V’s new full-time position on the deck adds another layer of complexity, as professional boundaries and personal feelings start to blur.
As the season sails forward, fans can expect more romance, tension, and power shifts — both on deck and below.
