Boat Trip at Ashley's

Boat Trip at Ashley's is the ninth episode of the third season of Moriah Blake.

Plot
Due to Patrick and Andrew's imminent return, Ashley has a semi-party with Dave, Audrey, Scott, and Devin, where she takes them out boating on the Leif Erikson. Due to Parker's influence, Dave ends up getting drunk and dropping Scott's shirt overboard. Ashley cuts the gathering short and they return to her house, where she helps Dave sober up and Scott tries to find a new shirt.

Meanwhile, Will McCrimmon and Monty Greene are having the dinner they agreed to in the previous episode. Due to Scott being with Ashley, Emily is left to wander the McCrimmons' house alone. She enters Scott's room, where she finds a piece of paper on which are written hers and Ashley's names.

In the COLD OPEN, Ashley and Audrey have a smoke in Ashley's room before the party.

In the TAG, it is revealed that, while alone on the Leif Erikson, Scott and Ashley kissed; the first time since the events of The Bonfire.

Characters
In this episode, Scott again struggles with his relationships; it is hinted that he cares more about Ashley than about Emily, but he is closer to an actual relationship with the latter, due to Ashley having rejected him at least twice in Season Two. Near the end of the episode, Scott jokes that a CIA van has arrived, startling Devin; this is a crack at Devin's father's mysterious nature. Boat Trip is the first episode in which Will McCrimmon and Montgomery Greene meet on wholly peaceful terms.

This is the first episode to feature Bungle, the Donovans' cat. Since the eleventh episode of the season, The Sounds of Silence, was written before Boat Trip, the writers were unsure of exactly what had happened to make Bungle need a trip to the vet's. The way Bungle first nibbled at Ashley's stash of marijuana then licked up the spiked iced tea was a creative way of explaining this.

Title
The title of this episode is reminiscent of episode 03x05, Party at Ashley's, in which Ashley hosts a party at her house due to Patrick and Andrew leaving on their trip.
