Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 10 brings us to the dramatic, long-teased argument between Wihan and Johnny. This week, via an episode titled “Greek Tragedy,” we finally see what happens once a yachtie stops being polite and starts getting real with their failing superior. Last week, Lara also grew frustrated with Wihan, plus one of her stews, causing Captain Jason to enter both chats. Now, tensions below deck are reaching dangerous levels, so Captain Jason will soon have some serious decisions regarding the longevity of various crew members this season. Here is a breakdown of everything that transpired on Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 10.

What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 10?

During Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 10, Wihan twisted several narratives, causing dissension amongst his fellow yachties. In contrast, their rowdy charter exited, thankfully pleased with their vacation. Even still, Wihan remains accountability-less, throwing Harry under the yacht in addition to certain females on board. Johnny sees red, and when the captain hears about this, someone on the deck team will likely get fired.

Captain Jason encourages Wihan to do better, but a flash-forward event between 11:57 pm and 12:13 am teases his failures

BDDU Season 3 Episode 10 starts with a flash-forward, showing Harry breaking down on deck at 11:57 pm. Several floors below, Johnny is also breaking down at 12:13 pm, throwing his fist into his overhead cabinets as Wihan watches. Then, Johnny eerily covers their camera with his shirt.

The screen reads “16 hours earlier,” returning us to Wihan and his wheelhouse whining. After listening to his not-me cries, Captain Jason urges Wihan to step up his game.

After his attempts at getting Lara fired fail, Wihan heads to find Harry as the ticker reveals that it is now 9:27 am, roughly 14 hours before the teased sh*t hits the fan. Wihan discovers Harry in the galley, where Harry explains that he started his morning shift after visiting the whiteboard, focusing first on the unchecked areas Johnny left. Wihan interjects, telling Harry that from now on, the cleaning of the sundeck needs to be the main priority.

After a brief flirt with Tzarina, Wihan heads to the deck to speak with his team. Johnny tells Wihan that he worked his tail off by himself the night prior, but Wihan still finds fault, telling Johnny he also works hard, so he did not have time to check over his work until it was too late. The cameras pan to show Wihan not working hard (at all) that morning. Instead, Wihan was flirting with Adair in the galley.

Captain Jason finds Lara to get her take on everything. Lara tells him that Wihan deflects blame often. She and Captain Jason note this is not how a leader should behave.

Back on deck, Wihan whines to Johnny about Lara. In response, Johnny flips the script, pointing out how Wihan is too “sensual” with the ladies. Wihan laughs him off.

Captain Jason also remains annoyed with Marina, whom he calls next to his wheelhouse. Captain Jason tells Marina that her comments to him have felt disrespectful. Marina agrees, humbly apologizing for her missteps. Appreciative, Captain Jason digs deeper, asking Marina about her team.

Marina then admits she desires to work on the service detail more. However, Lara is growing defensive towards her, which Marina does not like. Captain Jason shuts Marina down by telling her that he also spoke to Lara about this. In his mind, Marina is in the wrong for growing pissy with her boss in front of other crew members.

Marina then nods, agreeing to show Captain Jason growth. Marina is thankful she is not getting fired.

The charter guests depart as tensions continue mounting on board

Cindy, one of the guests, is ticking off William, the primary. She is not ready for breakfast, so she wants it pushed back. William labels Cindy as “demanding.” William asks Lara to bring out some of the breakfast, not all, so Lara radios these changes to Tzarina.

Unfortunately, Tzarina already has everything made. It must get served now. Alesia is growing tired of the dynamics between Tzarina and Lara. It is now 10:26 in the morning.

Harry offloads the tender for the guest’s departure. He does so as he sees fit, which is not the way Wihan requests. On the radio, Wihan admonishes Harry as all other crew members listen in. Captain Jason gets on the line, asking them to show respect.

Harry responds to another radio call, letting Wihan know that the orange jet ski is without fuel. Wihan condescendingly claps back before talking trash about Harry with Johnny.

The charter guests depart, leaving a $25,000 tip and only positive notes for the crew. In their tip meeting, Captain Jason urges everyone to stop passing blame.

Tomorrow, the crew is getting a day off at a private beach. They are thrilled. It is now 3:07 pm.

Wihan and Adair go on a date as Tzarina reveals intel that threatens their budding boatmance

Wihan lamely texts Tzarina, announcing he has a date with Adair. However, Wihan is nervous that Adair does not like him as he likes her. Tzarina sighs.

In their cabin, Wihan takes a loud swig of water. Harry turns, telling Wihan that his earlier tone on the radio was not great. Wihan tells Harry to leave him alone unless something is wrong.

In contrast, Lara and Bri are taking a cuddly nap in their cabin. Lara vents to Bri about Wihan before Tzarina enters, making them giggle at her unseriousness. Next door, Wihan tells Johnny that when “women reach a certain age, they don’t have anything going for them anymore,” minus envy, which is how he thinks Lara feels for him. Johnny disagrees. Johnny can live.

Wihan and Adair depart for their date as Johnny steals a quick kiss from Alesia, who asks him if they can later snuggle in his bunk. It is now 6:29 pm. The crew, minus Wihan and Adair, travels to a restaurant. On their date, Adair is happy, but Wihan is not her norm, she notes in her talking head.

The time is now 9:23 pm.

Wihan texts Tzarina from his date, saying he cannot get a read on Adair. Tzarina texts him back. Their texts continue throughout his date, making the other crew members annoyed. Tzarina agrees, telling them Wihan grabbed her ass and kissed her neck earlier.

Johnny looks disgusted. He tells his crew that he spoke to Wihan about his flirtations. Johnny hates “all this bullsh*t,” he quips. On cue, Wihan and Adair join them from their date.

Lara tells Adair what Tzarina revealed. Adair is upset.

The time is 9:41 pm.

Johnny fills Wihan in on the gossip, angering Wihan

Tzarina checks in with Johnny. Johnny appreciates Wihan but thinks Harry lacks initiative. Johnny then finds Wihan, letting him know Tzarina told the table about his butt grab and dinner time texts. Wihan rolls his eyes, blaming Tzarina like a never-wrong champion.

Johnny disagrees, telling Wihan he needs to stop doing “stupid stuff.” Wihan wrongly responds, “Maybe I should stop being so nice to girls.” Um, what?

Wihan notes he would not flirt with Alesia. The time is 11:03 pm.

Tzarina finds Harry, parroting back what Johnny said. Harry is annoyed. The crew heads back to the yacht. It is now 11:30 pm.

Wihan calls Harry an instigator in their cabin, telling Harry to “be careful.” Johnny steps in, asking them to keep things peaceful. Wihan whirls around, ignoring Johnny while telling Harry to stop talking behind his back to the interior. Harry remains respectful, simply saying “okay.”

But still, Wihan rises, telling Harry that he has “had enough,” so “this is it.” Biting his tongue, Harry says he understands. Even still, Wihan continues, telling Harry he brings a “bad vibe” to the yacht. Harry calmly admits that he does not understand what he did.

The music darkens. Wihan tells Harry to “stop what you are doing. STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING, NOW, PLEASE,” he yells, while a still-calm Harry asks again for an explanation. Instead of answering, Wihan grows louder, causing Harry to exit.

Tzarina brings Harry a beer. Crying, Harry recalls what just happened, saying he wants to quit. Tzarina pulls him in for a tight hug. It is now 11:57 pm.

Harry continues crying. In their cabin, Wihan ponders why he works with such “stupid people.” Johnny reminds Wihan to stay calm.

The girls (minus Tzarina) are oblivious, living their best drunken lives on the yacht. Johnny approaches Harry. Harry’s tears break him. Johnny wants his team to find peace.

Johnny joins the ladies in the hot tub, filling them in on everything. He hates being in the middle. He gets up to find Harry again. Luckily, Tzarina is still with Harry, so she shuts Johnny down, telling him Wihan IS the only problem on board.

Tzarina and Lara take Harry to a guest cabin. Johnny follows, but Lara steps in, asking Johnny to give Harry space. These girls have fought with Wihan, so they understand his valid feelings, they state.

The time is now 12:13 am.

Alesia knocks on the boy’s door. She wakes Wihan, thinking it is Johnny. Alesia crawls into Wihan’s arms. Johnny enters, shocking Alesia into sobriety.

Johnny exits. He returns once Alesia also exits, telling Wihan he quits. Wihan acts innocent, asking Johnny to talk to him. Johnny snaps, locking their door before yelling, “DON’T F*CKING TALK TO ME,” while punching his overhead cabinets. The girls overhear, crying and growing concerned in their cabin.

“This boat is f*cking mental,” Johnny says, covering their in-room camera with his shirt. The screen darkens, announcing, TO BE CONTINUED.

Below Deck Down Under continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
