A commotion in room 203 gets Jamie’s attention. When he places his ear against the door, two giddy girls and a guy emerge. Jamie turns around to be face-to-face with Olly Reyes (Anthony Rickman).

After suggesting the fish tattoo is Beaker, Olly claims he forced Amy to fart in a jar. Jamie questions what he just said. After saying he probably collects them, Olly asks where “old-fashioned kinks” go. Jamie asks if he has a lot of them. Olly reminds him of Pippa before asking who is he. Jamie kisses him. When Olly repeats the questions, Jamie jumps on top of him. Olly quickly flips him onto his back when Beaker barges in.

Wreck Review

Jamie continued to investigate Pippa’s death. During a shakedown, he discovered the mask involved in Sophia’s attack in Olly’s cabin. He made a pact with Sophia to destroy the drug stash and she’d tell her story to the police. He followed through with his promise while she backed out.

Olly came clean to Jamie about Sophia’s attack. He told him that the Filipino mafia ordered him to frighten, not kill Sophia. Dolce is the leader of the Filipino mafia. She denied killing Jamie.

Sophia informed Jamie that the Filipinos and officers are in a drug war. The officers faltered on their agreement to only sell drugs to the guests.

Vivian and Lily spend time together.

Cormac and Rosie rekindled their relationship. He identified the officer with the fish tattoo while hiding in a locker. He saw the fish tattoo on Sam’s leg while he had sex with Sophia.

It turned out that detective Martinez could be paid off. Allan agreed to pay her $80K to keep Danny’s murder silent until the ship reaches the shore.

The killer targeted Jerome while he was watching dishes. He is shot in the head with what appears to be a spear.

A fulfilling episode that has its moments. Not much has changed as far as the cinematography. Some scenes are nearly ruined by the poor video quality. The dark scenes are always grainy and blurry.

Jerome’s death was by far the most cringeworthy scene so far. They’re trying to achieve an awe factor, which didn’t happen for me.

The episode deserves a 6.5. Get more Wreck recaps here. Support Reel Mockery by clicking the link.
