Margot Sisson from Below Deck Down Under had a memorable run on season 2, and it's time for an update on her. Margot was introduced to the show during episode 2 as she arrived late to the yacht. She quickly began her work as a Third Stew under Chief Steward Aesha Scott. Margot got along with everyone soon after arriving, even developing a little flirtation with Bosun, Luke Jones.

After Margot wasn't showing the interest Luke was looking for, as she also has a thing for deckhand Harry Van Vliet, so Luke decided to pursue Second Stew, Laura Bileskaline. The two hooked up during a crew night out, but Luke quickly realized he liked Margot more. During their next crew night out, Luke and Margot got a little too drunk, and Aesha was scared Luke might try to take advantage of Margot. Aesha put her to bed right away, but when an unexpected power outage happened, Luke ran to Margot's room naked and climbed into her bed. Luckily, producers were there to prevent anything from going any further.

Captain Jason Chambers also received a lot of love after he immediately fired Luke when Aesha told him what happened. Jason took to Instagram to address the sexual misconduct and how he received a flood of messages following the episode. "Thank you for all the lovely messages and I have great sympathy for the messages for those that were triggered by these episodes," Jason wrote.

Jason has been widely commended for his swift action in the situation with Luke, and it made him a very likable figure.

Below Deck Down Under Season 2 Was Problematic

Franchise First

What makes Below Deck Down Under season 2 so problematic was some of the inappropriate cast . Luke tried to take advantage of Margot and was clearly eyeing her from the moment they met. He used the power outage to his advantage, likely thinking cameras were down at that moment. Luckily, Margot left the situation unscathed, while Luke was promptly fired by Captain Jason.

Margot went on to drink on the job in season 2, but she was forgiven by Aesha and Captain Jason, as they realized she was dealing with the Luke trauma.

The situation that happened with Luke was one of the most egregious occurrences in Below Deck history. Below Deck Down Under season 3 is on the horizon for February 2025, and while it promises a slew of boatmances, there's nothing to suggest that anything similar to what happened in season 2 happens. Margot will not be part of the season 3 cast, but she did make a strong impression in the franchise.
