Cody proves the hardest-working, smartest sailor when Stephanie recruits a Baywatch sailing yacht crew, alongside Caroline, Newman and Barnett, plus, for lack of lifeguard volunteers, Neely, who has a personal grudge against her ex Kurt Daniels, the lifeguard captain of the South Bay team, to race with a one day slavish service wager between them two. Mitch's PI boss Ryan McBride found that Joey Jennings, whom he plans to adopt, has surviving kin: her late mother's estranged parents, George and Cleo Jennings, who want custody now they know about the grandchild. She runs away when told she may be placed there, like Hobie blaming Mitch, who decides, after George admits he can't afford a court battle, to bow out, and George proves himself by risking his life to rescue Joey before Hobie and Mitch can do that properly.
