Below Deck returned for Season 8 but the charter season almost stopped before it started after Captain Lee found himself in the hospital before the guests arrived. Eddie Lucas teamed up with Captain Lee again as bosun after a five-year hiatus, and Chief Stew Francesca Rubi had her hands full with demanding guests and a flustered interior team. Returning charter guest Charley and his friends had multiple drink orders and little patience, and Captain Lee said goodbye to one crew member by the end of the episode (yes, already). Catch new episodes of Below Deck every Monday at 9/8c and catch up on every episode EVER on the Bravo app.
