Captain Sandy Yawn is on a mission to throw Aesha Scott the perfect bachelorette party — which includes special appearances from alums Hannah Ferrier and Anastasia Surmava.
In Us‘ exclusive clip from the Monday, August 24, episode of the hit Bravo show, Aesha and the rest of Akira One pack into a party bus while Captain Sandy prepares a special surprise with help from Gael Cameron.
Aesha is greeted by her boss at the venue in Croatia before she notices both Hannah and Anastasia are there as well. This marks the first time both of the Below Deck Med alums returned to the show since their respective exits.
Anastasia was a third stew turned chef turned third stew again during season 4, which is when she worked with Hannah and Aesha. Hannah returned the following season but was let go from her position on the boat early on. Aesha, meanwhile, joined season 5 after Hannah departed The Wellington.
Hannah recently told Us that she kept up to date with most of the shows in the franchise after her exit — except Below Deck Med.
“I don’t watch Below Deck Med,” she said at BravoCon in November 2025. “It’s like the only Bravo show that I don’t watch.”
Hannah admitted she wasn’t sure why she wasn’t interested.
“I watched the other Below Deck shows — and it’s not even like a Sandy or Aesha thing because I’ve watched them on other seasons,” she added. “I don’t know what it is. I can’t get into it.”
She continued: “I watched when Sandy was on [Captain] Lee‘s season of Below Deck, when she went to replace him. I watched when Aesha was on Below Deck Down Under, so I genuinely don’t know what it is. Within 30 seconds, I turned it off.”
Hannah brought the topic up to Sandy, saying, “She gets it. It’s probably a little triggering.”
Before her return, Hannah spoke to Us about reconciling with Sandy after they faced issues in the past.
“I’m in such a calmer and better place in my life now. My daughter has grounded me a lot and I’m just in a very different place than I was 10 years ago when I started Below Deck. So when Sandy reached out to me and said, ‘Would you be interested in doing this with me?’ I was like, ‘Absolutely,’” Hannah recalled to Us in April 2025. “There’s so much turmoil in the world. So much is fueled by hatred. But just sitting down with Sandy for a few hours and just having a really good honest chat was so cathartic and healing.”
Hannah added: “Because I don’t like hanging onto any negativity or bad emotions. So being able to really sit down and open up to each other was so good. Then this opportunity came up six to eight months later.”
Elsewhere in Us‘ clip from Monday’s episode, Gen Lillie reflects on how Aesha’s bachelorette party made her consider her own romantic future.
“This is the list of the type of guy I want to marry. He has to be above 6-foot-2 [because] I don’t want any short kings and I don’t want my kids weirdly short. Nice smile [because] I don’t want to look at nasty ass teeth the rest of my life,” she shares. “Blue eyes, I would like some of my kids to have blue eyes. He has to be all over ripped and not just big top and skinny legs.”
Gen didn’t hold back while listing the physical attributes, adding, “He should be relatively well-endowed — give me something to work with. Also nice nipples, I don’t want them to be too big like pepperonis, but I don’t want them too small. I also want a big butt — think Connor Storrie from that hockey show.”
Below Deck Med airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
