Surprisingly, Haleigh has finally made her way back to Mustique, and Lara is so sick that she has no choice but to say goodbye early. Given how little the show’s creators appeared to care about Haleigh, I was pretty sure she wasn’t coming back. Still, I’m glad we got to see a little more of her one final time, especially since she hasn’t had much time on screen. However, given Lara has been the MVP, it is terrible that she must close the season in this manner. Her combination of fun and hard work is becoming increasingly unusual in this brand, so Bravo would be foolish not to bring her back in the future (especially as Bosun).
We’ve finally reached the last charter, so it makes sense that the worn-out crew would encounter a few hiccups that throw off their plans to close out on a positive note. Although Haleigh’s return gave them the all-clear to head out to sea, Captain Sandy may have felt like she had dodged a bullet, but the weather had other ideas. The crew will have to put in extra effort to ensure that the charter remains unforgettable for everyone because the radar suggests that heavy winds will prevent them from leaving the pier.
