Captain Sandy Yawn<\/strong><\/a> is on a mission to throw Aesha Scott<\/strong> the perfect bachelorette party \u2014 which includes special appearances from alums Hannah Ferrier <\/strong><\/a>and Anastasia Surmava<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In Us<\/em>\u2018 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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<\/em> alums<\/a> returned to the show since their respective exits.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Hannah recently told Us<\/em> that she kept up to date with most of the shows in the franchise after her exit \u2014 except Below Deck Med<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t watch Below Deck Med,\u201d she said at BravoCon in November 2025. \u201cIt\u2019s like the only Bravo show that I don\u2019t watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannah admitted she wasn\u2019t sure why she wasn\u2019t interested.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI watched the other Below Deck shows \u2014 and it\u2019s not even like a Sandy or Aesha thing because I\u2019ve watched them on other seasons,\u201d she added. \u201cI don\u2019t know what it is. I can\u2019t get into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI watched when Sandy was on [Captain] Lee<\/strong>\u2018s season of Below Deck, when she went to replace him. I watched when Aesha was on Below Deck Down Under, so I genuinely don\u2019t know what it is. Within 30 seconds, I turned it off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannah brought the topic up to Sandy, saying, \u201cShe gets it. It\u2019s probably a little triggering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before her return, Hannah spoke to Us<\/em> about reconciling with Sandy<\/a> after they faced issues in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in such a calmer and better place in my life now. My daughter has grounded me a lot and I\u2019m 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, \u2018Would you be interested in doing this with me?\u2019 I was like, \u2018Absolutely,\u2019\u201d Hannah recalled to Us in April 2025. \u201cThere\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannah added: \u201cBecause I don\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
