Aesha Scott Explains Why It Was 'Very Nerve Wracking' Returning to Work With Captain Sandy on 'Below Deck Med'

Transcript

00:00What was it like coming back, working for Captain Sandy as Chief Stu?

00:03Oh my gosh, it was so special.

00:06It was very nerve-wracking, just because I put so much pressure on myself to impress her.

00:13Because, you know, I worked with her as Second Stu, I went away, I feel like I grew into a woman, kind of.

00:19And it was like, as I said on the first episode, it felt like I was coming home to Mama,

00:23and I wanted to prove to her, like, the woman that I had become.

00:27And I think because I just respect her so, so much, I put a lot of pressure on myself.

00:32But I'm really proud of what I did, and I feel like I did a good job.

00:36How did your relationship change with Sandy throughout the season, if it did at all?

00:41It did, in such a beautiful way, because as I said, when I first worked for her as Second Stu,

00:47it was very much like Captain Stew and his relationship.

00:51And then after the show, when she got with Leah,

00:54got with Leah,

00:55got into a relationship with Leah, because it was based in Denver, and we were in Breckenridge,

01:00we ended up seeing them more as friends, because we'd go up and have dinner and hang out.

01:05And then coming back to work for her, it was just this very beautiful friendship.

01:12You know, she really supported me, she let me do my thing.

01:16We were very professional together, but there were these moments where I'd sneak into the bridge,

01:20and I'd show her a meme or something, we'd have a little giggle.

01:23And we just kind of grew this bond where we really relied on each other a lot.
