Noting that Kyle’s behavior was part of a larger problem, the stew added, “I didn’t say anything [before] but I had Jessica [Asai] I came over crying because Kyle came in hot the other day and yelled at her in a cabin.

Sandy was shocked when she heard what was happening. “I want to follow this because it is serious. I’m going to talk to Kyle because that’s not okay. That is bullying,” she said. “Of course I want you to stay, but nothing is worth your sanity.”

After the captain asked what she wanted to do, Natalya stood by her decision to leave.

“I feel the need to leave now because I don’t feel well. I feel safe, but I don’t feel good,” Natalya admitted, despite previously receiving an apology from Kyle. “I’ve been feeling so sad lately.”

Sandy tried not to change Natalya’s mind because she wanted to prioritize her crew. “I can’t force Natalya to stay, and I wouldn’t. I want her to feel supported in her decision, but at the same time I’m angry. The loss of Natalya will be difficult for the domestic side. We will have problems for the next charter,” she explained in a confessional. “I don’t condone Kyle’s behavior. As she described everything, Kyle’s bullying is unacceptable.”

Jack supported Natalya and called out his colleagues for not giving her enough support. Tumi, meanwhile, agreed that Kyle’s behavior wasn’t helping the inside work as a team.

Sandy then asked Kyle to sit with her for a chat.

“Kyle, I have ears and I have eyes. Guess who is the common denominator of every situation that has occurred on this boat?
