The chief stew may be turning in her epaulets! We’ve been teased about it all season, but the reason behind Kate Chastain‘s departure on Below Deck is finally revealed. Fans of the show are used to walk-offs and mid-season firings, but usually, that doesn’t involve one of the main characters (I mean, just imagine if Captain Lee walked off the boat…).

So what (or who) drove Kate to dry land?
