"Some crew - Aesha, Josh, and especially Sandy - feel the pressure to end the season on a high note. Some others face their last two days of work with the jubilant indifference of a senior on the last day of school before summer break. The chicken nuggets debacle throws Cathy and Max off and affects their work. Uncharacteristically, Cathy is whiny; Max, characteristically whiny, decides that he can put himself down for a nap whenever the mood strikes him."
"When we pick up this week, Max is stewing that Cathy walked off their What Are We talk to attend to the chicken nuggets problem. Cathy goes for a classic defense tactic: she decides to be annoyed that he is annoyed, thereby creating a stand-off that can only end in capitulation. She has a fearsome adversary in Max, a world-class grudge-holder who is still peeved at Nathan for not making him lead deckhand, a thing that happened 100 years ago."
Tensions escalate on the final charter as crew members react differently to end-of-season pressure. Some crew members, including Aesha, Josh, and Sandy, push to end the season on a high note, while others adopt a carefree, senior-like indifference. A chicken-nuggets debacle disrupts service and sparks a quarrel between Cathy and Max. Cathy behaves uncharacteristically whiny and initiates a petty stand-off by insisting on being annoyed, while Max alternates between stewing and taking impromptu naps. Max resents past slights, including not being chosen as lead deckhand, and demands emotional stability from Cathy. Kizzi's recent romantic behavior with Max further complicates onboard dynamics.
