Leigh, Zack and Carrie were walking through an Aviation Airport. Zack was impressed when some the men nodded at the uniformed Leigh. They made their way toward a helicopter. After everyone was set, they took off.

On the beach we find a young woman named Becka chewing out her boyfriend Mike Purcell. The doctor told them that it would take two more months for his leg to heal. But selfish Mike told Becka to look at it out there. He wanted to go out on the surf. Jason was working the beach area, so he advised Mike to sit this one out. Mike got up and asked Jason if he was drowning. Jason told him no. Mike told him that he didn't ask for his help, so why didn't he go look for lost kids? There was nothing that Jason could do. He had given him a warning. Mike Purcell's girlfriend warned him that if this vacation ended up like their ski trip, he was going to ER alone. Mike foolishly went anyway.

Meanwhile, in the helicopter, Zack, who looks, acts and sounds like Finch (David Spade/Just Shoot Me) is trying to woo Carrie. He toltold her that he knew that she thought that Jason was the man. Leigh asked the tower for clearance. Carrie told Finch...uh...I mean Zack that there was a whole world out there he knew nothing about. Zack told her that she knew she couldn't resist him. Leigh looked back for a split second and asked if they were buckled and ready. Zack told her that they were in...or at least getting close. The door is cracked. Carrie told him to shut up. They put on their ear phones.

"K-Y," Zack said. "Where's your daddy?" He said leaning over on Carrie. She shoved him off. They took off and were soon flying over the ocean. Mike was out doing tricks on his skis with a rig (air shoot). His leg was ailing and he looked down at it for a moment. When his attention returned to the ocean, he was about to crash with a wind surfer. The wind surfer goes down, but the rig was blown by the wind and kept going, dragging Mike with it. His leg got stuck in the device and he could not free himself. His girlfriend had been at the shoreline concerned for him the whole time. She saw what happened and told Jason.

She told Jason that Mike was caught in his rig. He had to save him. Jason had been watching through binoculars. He was soon running down the beach. Jason contacted Leigh because he needed air support. He described the victim's incident and that he was being dragged by his rig with possible injury. Leigh told Jason that they were on it. Zack was the first to see Mike and pointed him out. Meanwhile a speeding scarab was on the way with Jason onboard. Leigh gave the two lifeguards the exact location of the victim. Mike was dragged hard into a floating buoy-type structure with a warning sign, SHALLOW REEF. The impact separated him from the rig.

Zack was taking off his jacket stating that he was going in. Leigh told him that they were too high! Carrie told him not to be stupid. Leigh told him to stay put. That was an order! Zack told them that he was this guy's only chance. With that, he jumped in to help the victim. "Zack!" Carrie yelled after him.

Zack was soon swimming toward the victim. When Zack got to Mike, he managed to hold him steady above the water. Just in time too! Another minute and Mike would have lacked the strength to stay above water. The scarab finally made it on the scene. The scarab could not get closer into the area because of the current, so Jason prepared to jump in. Zack told the victim that he had him and to relax.

Mike cried and complained about his leg. To calm him, Zack asked him his name. "Mike..." He said. Zack told Mike that it would be O.K. He then spoke through the phone that was strapped onto his shoulder. They needed help down there! Leigh told him that she was sending Carrie. She could see that Carrie was cringing in the back. She didn't make any effort to move out. Leigh looked back at Carrie and said that they were lower. It was a pier jumper-20 feet! Carrie moved toward the door opening reluctantly. She looked way down at the water. Intense fear prevailed. Zack, who really needed the help because of the strong current asked what was going on up there. Leigh ordered her to get in the water! Now! Carrie still couldn't make herself jump. Zack was insisting that he needed help with the victim. Leigh tried a different approach. She told Carrie that Zack was in trouble! Now!

But Carrie, who was still staring at how high they were, could not do the jump...even to help save the victim's life or to assist the lifeguard who were relying on her for help. Carrie said that she couldn't jump. Jason jumped in to get the victim. Jason told Zack that he had him. Zack gratefully told Jason that he was glad to see him. Jason started swimming the victim to the scarab. Mike was moaning and groaning. "Staying with us?" Zack asked Mike. Mike said yes. He complained that his girlfriend was going to kill him. With the victim safely in the hands of Jason, Zack laid back in the water from both exhaustion and pain.

You would have to wonder how Carrie and Zack got to be lifeguards in the first place. Lifeguards sent to The Training Center. They would have been unacceptable as beach lifeguards. Carrie doesn't have the guts. Lifeguards prove that they can do a pier jumper to make it on a team. Her unit could not have been THAT desperate for lifeguards! Zack doesn't have the ability to follow orders or think before doing anything. He has to do things his own way. He should have waited until Leigh lowered the helicopter a bit. And the writers should have done their homework concerning lifeguarding on a Chicago beach before dreaming up a character from that area. The city's winds are dangerously strong and the waters usually too violent and choppy to swim in. People stay close to shore and lifeguards even when the water is calm. Because of this, sometimes boats are used to get to victims.

The incident got to Sean's ears and he was not pleased with how things had been handled. He had the group of lifeguards on the beach in a meeting. This was serious and he was already in progress. "Which brings us to Zack. What were you thinking? You want a broken neck?" Sean asked, controlling his irritation. "You jump from that height again and you can kiss the bay cabana surf goodbye. You and Carrie need to keep your ears open, all right?"

Zack didn't like getting chewed out. But he had to continue to listen. When Leigh tells you not to jump, you DO NOT jump! Sean then turned toward Carrie. "When she tells you to jump, Carrie...you kiss that sky!" Carrie lowered her eyes. Sean's tone softened a bit. He told them that he was clear on the fact that there was a lot of crap that goes on out there to distract them. He knew that they only had seconds to make major decisions. But they were to trust their guard in charge and trust their team. They all nodded.

Jenna was showing the Lifeguard Training Center to potential renters. She told them that they could see that the place was very special. Location, location, location! She really was trying to push in convincing the three partners into renting the property. The two men and a young woman, thought that it was very nice. Sean could see this and was not amused. The group saw this as well and wondered what was going on. Sean cut the planned meeting short. With that, the group went on to their assigned duties. Jenna tried to convince the group that it was beautiful. Sean walked toward Jenna to confront her.

He asked her what she was doing. She told him that they were checking out the view. Her tone was cold. One of the potential renters, Angelo, said something pertaining to his renting the place. Sean asked what he was talking about. Jenna asked the three if they could excuse them. They needed a moment to talk. The woman suggested that they would wait on the beach. When they were gone, Sean started right in. He said that if this was a joke, it wasn't funny. Jenna told him that it was no joke. She and Councilman McKenna decided since he refused to come to Friday's service report. Sean interrupted her saying that it was a waste of time she made up. But she continued as if he had not spoken. That he hasn't paid his water bill or property taxes. Sean asked her if she was out of her mind. He reminded her that wasn't part of the deal! She told him that it was now! She told him that as a matter of fact, there was a restaurant that would cover that and more.

You know, I just don't get The Training Center's being dependant on The Hawaiian Lifeguards. The place was actually built as an independent unit. Simply because Mitch invested a lot of money into the whole project had it built himself. He asked her what about saving lives? Jenna informed him that she was in charge of the beach and water zone. He told her that he didn't know what she did to get this job created for her, but whatever she was doing with McKenna-whatever her revenge fantasies were, she was never going to get The Center from him! Ever!

She kept looking into his eyes with satisfaction. Jenna told him has he ever noticed how a drowning man makes the most noise before he goes under for good? She was referring to him. Sean told Jenna that she should know that it wasn't true. She told him, whatever-the point was, by next month, they were all out of there! And Angelo was going to be on the property over-crossing the boundaries. She told Sean to have a good meeting. Let everybody know that the dream is OVER! She placed her hands behind her back as she walked over to the beach to join Angelo and his associates.

Carrie asked Jason if he was avoiding her when she caught him coming into Headquarters. He reminded her that he explained the situation. They couldn't see each other. Carrie told him to relax because she didn't want a piece of him. She needed some help. That Sean chewing really screwed her up. She could use a little political coverage. If he could talk to Sean. Jason told her that he wasn't saying anything. But she told him that she was his friend. Jason just told her the truth. He wasn't into politics. He was straight up and he works. If she wanted to stay there, she will too. He rolled his eyes before he left her speechless.

Leigh found Sean while he was servicing one of the scarabs. She asked what was going on, holding a notice before him. She found it on his desk. Sean told her that it belonged in the trash. She asked him how could he be so casual about this? This was the third and final notice for The Center's property taxes! He said that he knew. And? She demanded an explanation. And? But he told her not to worry about it! He got out of the scarab.

Could he be more aggravating? She wanted to help. She asked him what was going on. Sean stopped working and turned to face Leigh. He told her that it was between Jenna and him. He actually thought that those words would shoo her off. At first the state was paying for everything and then Jenna got this new position as The Tourist Laison with Councilman MacKinnon and surprise! Sean's got a brand new deal! He told her that he would handle it. Leigh, who was persistent, told Sean that he was not getting rid of her!

He got back on the scarab to work in silence. She then told Sean that she cared. There was no answer. Leigh closed her eyes and licked her lips. She told him "Fine!" She was going to stand there all day long until he answered her question. She held her ground.

Sean looked up at the sky and asked if she had sunscreen on. "Standing all day out here, and it's a hot one!" She stood there with a pasted on smile. He then adopted one and gave in, realizing that she meant it. Lowering his head for a moment, he went on. Three days, he told her. Three days and The Center becomes a money laundering lobster house. "What?" She asked. He told her not to worry. He would figure something out. Leigh told him that she wasn't worried. She assured him that THEY would figure something out.

Leigh soon exited the Hilton Hawaiian Village in a black suit with briefcase. Meanwhile, Jason and Carrie were doing trust exercises. Carrie told him that this was stupid. She stood atop a long picnic style table with her back facing him. Jason told her that she was driving him nuts! He told her to fall back and he would catch her. Carrie couldn't see the reason for this. Jason explained that it was a trust exercise. He told her to do it. He was irritated and snapping. Carrie pointed that his yelling at her and was not trusting him. She did a back flip off the table. Sean just showed up and told Jason to take five. Jason left. Sean sat on the table.

He asked her that she worked at San Diego for what? Two years? She told him yes. Sean told her that they really like her down there. Did she remember her first rescue? She told Sean that it was a drunken swimmer. Sean told Carrie that his was a kid falling off a pier. He had this strut when he first started guarding. He thought he was "the man." He got to the end of the pier. Get to the edge, and he couldn't jump. Carrie lowered her eyes knowing that this story was aimed at her. "Really?" She asked in a disbelieving tone. Sean assured her that he was telling her the truth. He just stood there like a fool with his stomach clenched and just scared stiff. She told him that there had to be some Disney ending. Nothing scares him, still not believing him.

"Are you kidding me? There's always fear. The trick is, you learn how to work with it." Sean said. She looked at him. "I don't know. I always trusted in my own call." She said. He understood, telling her that he was the same way. But what got him off that pier was the fact that that kid was trusting him. He had to trust his training. He had to trust the team. And he jumped. He knew that he said it all the time, but if she trusted in the team, it will get her through. She said that she didn't know. It's not that easy. Sean told her that nothing worth anything is.

At Headquarters, Sean was there to see Leigh walk in. He asked her what was with the shark's suit? Leigh walked toward Sean and then happily did a high skip jump. She found a sponsor! "Sponsor? For The Center?" He asked, holding her by the shoulders. "We give her full signage to use her sunscreen and she gives us money." Leigh said. "That's great, that beautiful!" He said. She told him that it was easy. It wasn't a done deal yet. They were having dinner tonight to where he was to do the song and dance. She said. He told her, "oh no." It was better her alone. Leigh told him that she couldn't close this without him. He explained that he was not good at this stuff. If it was anything like surfing, rescuing, motivating, he was her her man. But business? Uh, uh!

She told him that this was his Center. His dream. He was coming! She needed him. With that said, Leigh left with a firm smile. She was on the way out. Sean was silenced and sighed. Realizing that this was really going to happen, he followed her out. He walked in the lobby and passed Carrie, who was on the way in. She went to her room and turned on the light to find Zack there, laying in her bed!

Carrie asked what in the world was he thinking? She was simply fed up with Zack's behavior. Zack told her that he was thinking that he was the hero of the day. He lay back on her bed with his hands propped under his head. The man of the hour. And this "little bunny" is hot for you! So he said to himself, let her feel the love. Carrie told him that she didn't want anything! Her tone was now a growl. He told her that she gave him universal signs. She told him that she smiled. He told her to trust him. She was gonna like this. He said extending his hand, reaching for her. She told him that she didn't trust anybody! Never have, never will! She trusted herself, Carrie! Everybody else can go straight to hell! She ordered Zack to get out! Zack told her to chill. He was getting up. She took him by the ear as she scurried him out. He cried out in pain. Once Zack had been pushed on the other side of door, she closed the door in his face. Once it was closed, Carrie sighed deeply, rolling her eyes.

Meanwhile, Leigh had several shirts on hangers for Sean to try for their dinner to close the deal. Sean told her that he had clothes. Leigh continued to follow him. Yes, he did, but she wanted to shake it up a bit for this dinner. Remember the one rule of business. Walk the walk, talk the talk and wear gorgeous shirts. She then held shirts up to his chest to see which she though was suitable for the dinner. He told her, O.K. that is rule number one. He said.

Leigh told him, rule 1 or 2, she got to pick them. She held one up and stopped, staring into his eyes. Their eyes locked for a few seconds. It was apparent that they were strongly attracted to each other. Sean recovered in time to quickly pull it away. He changed the subject. How Maggie used to go wild with his surf shorts for competition. Flowers, animals, palm trees. You name it, he wore it.

"Maggie was your wife, right? Your son's mother." Leigh asked. "You've never mentioned her before." She then realized that she was intruding. "It's none of my business." Sean stood up and Leigh gathered the shirts. "Maggie's story is for another day." He assured her. "Thanks for this." This place is pretty important to him. Yeah, she knew. She told him. Leigh smiled softly while he quickly held the preferred shirt to his chest. After Leigh walked away, it left his looking...and a bit relieved. Later, the scarab raced through the ocean. Leigh and Jason took the group out for training. They were to jump from the moving boat. Leigh said, who was driving, told Carrie that she could handle this.

Yeah, no problem, Carrie said a bit low and uneasy. Zack changed the subject. He asked Jason if anybody ever water ski off the back of the scarab. Jason's reply was that it was not a party boat. He then looked at Carrie. He picked her to go first. Telling her she was up. Jason looked at Leigh and told her to Throttle Up! Leigh sped up. Jason kept telling Carrie to jump off the boat because she was stalling.

Carrie, who was scared kept telling him, "All right!" But Jason was impatient and said, "Carrie! Let's go! Let's face it!" She said, "I know, I know." The group watched with keen interest. "I want you to get off this boat now!" Jason growled, his deep voice sounding more forceful. "Back off," she said. "I've got to get you off my boat!" He yelled. "That's working." She said sarcastically. She was climbing onto the edge of the boat. Zack was climbing over with her. He grabbed her waist. She told Zack to get away from her. He jumped overboard and took Carrie with him. Leigh sighed in disappointment over Zack again.

At the Hawaiian Village on the night of the business dinner, Sean was telling Erika about a rescue. She was impressed and only had eyes for Sean. The woman was clearly interested in him...and flirting. Leigh told them that she just love war stories. But they had to get down to why they were there. She was thinking that they'd give her a signage outside The Center. Maybe even pass out samples of the towers. Erika was pretty pleased with the concept. Leigh went on. It was to be 50% upfront and 50% of the return that yields. Erika thought that 50% was pretty steep. She asked Leigh how would they measure the source of the returns.

Just then, Sean interfered with the bargaining. They liked what they do. He wasn't looking to make a killing. He just want to keep his Center going. She smiled at Sean. He was very being charming tonight. And Erika continued to flirt with him. Leigh seemed uneasy that he was now speaking. She put her glass up to her lips. She seemed even more jealous. As dinner progressed, Leigh tried to barter for a year deal with a monthly payment schedule. Erika preferred quarterly.

Sean wanted to cut the numbers bull. He was still smiling. Leigh was irritated. Sean never noticed and went on. He told Erika that his Center trains lifeguards to be the best. That's what they do. He was not a money guy. He was not looking to get rich. His tone was soft. He just wanted to keep the water's safe for her, her friends and her friends' kids. Tell him how much she wanted to pay for that. Erika smiled sweetly. She told him that his passion was admirable and so rare these days. She only had eyes for Sean and his charms. Leigh only seemed to barely exist. But Erika told him that there were details to consider. Leigh on the other hand sat there dripping with jealousy. Sean reminded her that this is not his thing. She told him that he was doing fine. She looked over at Leigh and asked if she would agree. Leigh was soooo steamed that she couldn't get any words out. She just nodded with a big closed-mouth, pasted smile on her face.

Dinner progressed and toward the end, Erika had felt comfortable enough with Sean to tell her about some events of her life. "Anyway, I say goodbye to him and my old life." She said. "And I've just run my 5th marathon."

"What was your best time?" Sean asked. She fluttered her lashes and said, "Oh, I don't remember, but I've never been in better shape." Erika said, smiling. Leigh then interupted, "Really?" With that pasted on smile. "And you STILL managed to gobble down that crambule." Erika felt the tension between them and stated that she would go freshen up. Sean stood until Erika was up. When she was gone, he faced Leigh.

He asked Leigh what was with the attitude. Leigh told Sean that he was screwing this deal. Sean told her that he was making this deal work. He was explaining what The Center does and what he did. Leigh told him that if he let her do what she does, she could have secured 35%! Sean didn't care about a few extra bucks! He didn't even want to be here. All he cared was his Center and his team. He didn't want to just sit around and argue for a few bucks over what she wanted to give. Leigh told him to Wake Up! She was breaking down the payments to nothing! If he got his mind off of her body, he'd realize it! Sean was surprised and asked if that what this is all about? He admitted that she was a beautiful woman. But he works with beautiful women every day. He would handle this from here on end.

Leigh told him "Fine!" She kept forgetting that he didn't need anybody but Sean Monroe! She stormed out, spilling drinks all over his shirt. He stood, calling after her and wiping it up from his shirt as she watched her storm out of the restaurant. Erika got back in time to see Leigh march out. Or I should say, storm out! She asked if there was a problem. Sean told her yes. He excused himself, telling her that he needed to take care of something. He added that it was nice meeting her. Erika displayed an interesting expression. You knew then that she was going after him.

The next day, Jason, Zack and Sean, who was driving got out of the lifeguard truck. A standard rundown was to be done. He wanted Zack to listen and pay attention. Jason will run him through it. He wanted a tight shift. Sean wanted them to check the two-cycle oil reserve, the gas, the battery cranking AMPS, of course the safety equipment, PFD, the radio and fire extinguishers. "Got it!" said Jason. Sean left the boys to it. They got the boxes of equipment and carried it to a scarab.

"Hello, General!" Zack said sarcastically. "Somebody had a side of testy pills with their Wheaties today." Jason just tried to follow orders and told Zack to "fill the boxes already." Zack came back with, "You need to lighten up, man. You're too intense yellin' at Carrie and all that."

"Oh, you think this instructor crap is easy?" Jason asked. "Man, Sean used to beat me with a stick 6 months ago. Like I'm a man with two brains! I've gotta run around here like some General hard-ass." Zack told him that's what he was saying. "You gotta put the grand bastard back in play." Zack said. "Come on, Bro. Let's hit some bars tonight." "No, no! Not that!" Jason told him. Then he looked at him and smiled. "You wet for it?" "You pulling my chain?" Zack asked. "Go get the chain." Jason said. He had planned to play hooky instead what he was told to do.

Meanwhile, Sean arrived at Headquarters to find Jenna there. She told him that she needed a copy of the tower schedule. She needed to find out who was when and where. He told her that Leigh had them. He asked her to tell him what this really was all about. Jenna told him that this was valuable property. The City Council would love to have a hot spot on the North Shore that brought in money. He told her that if she wanted to pretend that it wasn't personal, so could he. Jenna told Sean of course its personal. He made it personal the day they met. They had something, but when it got too close, he ran. She never got a decent explanation. Just some garbage about his wife.

"Garbage?" He said. "You think my life is..." Sean stopped before finishing. He just couldn't believe what Jenna just said! Why bother? She never understood him anyway. They're poison together. Like oil and vinegar. He wanted The Center and lifeguarding. She knew that. She kept throwing her City Council nonsense and political agendas in his face! It wasn't him. It's never going to be him! Jenna just kept staring into his eyes. She told him that he was scared because he actually felt something with her. And he wasn't willing to compromise to make work. He told her that she was wrong. She has never been more wrong in her life. He didn't feel anything for her. She was offended and tried to get close to slap him for saying that, but he caught her by the wrist. She then wanted him to be punished, so she looked longingly into his now stern eyes. "Just tell me you don't feel that." She said. There was a stiff air of silence before he spoke. "Just an annoying itch!" Sean said coldly. She stood bewildered after he left.

Meanwhile, Zack was manning the boat while Jason water skied. They were supposed to be working. Sean caught up with Erika while she was on the beach near Headquarters. He got out of his lifeguard truck. He wanted to talk to her about last night. She ignored that. She told him that she liked him and his program. She would make the deal. He though that it was great! She wouldn't be sorry. Erika told Sean that he had already sold her! But she moved right in, wanting something else. She asked him to join her for a drink. She had a little time before her flight tonight. Sean accepted. Up on the Headquarters' balcony, Leigh managed to catch the whole scene. Her face revealed so much jealousy that she seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

Jason was enjoying the water skiing until the boat's motor died. Jason went down and had to swim to the scarab with the skis. He asked Zack what he touched. Zack said nothing. Jason inspected everything on the boat that he could think of. But other systems were O.K. A close inspection of the dashboard revealed a broken fuel gage. They would have to swim it all the way in. Leigh was handling files and magazines roughly. Carrie walked up to her. Carrie needed to speak with her, so she asked if she had the time.

Leigh snapped no and then realized her behavior and apologized. Carrie told her that she wanted to jump. Leigh didn't think that she was ready. Carrie assured her that she was. She knew herself. Leigh felt that she should not get pressured into this. Carrie wasn't. She just needed some help. She seemed a magnet for inappropriate behavior. She saw how Jason was on the scarab. Leigh admitted that he was rough. And then Carrie went on to say how she came home to find Zack in her bed. "What?" Leigh asked.

A call came in over the switchboard from Jason. He asked if J.D. was there. Jason found out that it was only Leigh and Carrie. It meant that they would have to swim the scarab in themselves. It would take all night. A boat came toward them. Leigh had a message, but Jason would not answer. Leigh told Jason to get back to Headquarters. She was waiting on him to close shop. There was no answer. Jason pointed at the boat coming toward them. She didn't hear anything. She told Jason that he was ticking her off. Again, no answer. Leigh realized that he was not going to answer and removed the headset. Carrie complained stating that that's exactly what she was talking about.

Leigh growled that it was rude! She continued to complain, trying to control her anger. That you put your butt on the line and nobody respects that. There was silence while Carrie nodded in agreement. And you care! You really care a lot to this team. And it's like you're dressing up and drumming up business. You're more than a shoulder to cry on or a crisis power. You really care about this place. You reach out and you get shut down! Carrie displayed a confused expression. She wondered who they were talking about exactly. She then asked Leigh if she was all right. There was a short silence. Leigh told her that she was going to jump. She made her way around the switchboard to where the girl was standing. She then placed her arm around Carrie's shoulders. She was going to jump. They walked away from the area.

Sean and Erika had that drink at the bar. Erika thought that there was something about paradise that makes a drink romantic. She ran a caressing finger along his hand. Sean just summed it up to that's Hawaii. Erika was direct and told him that she was not looking for more than tonight. She placed her hand in his.

Meanwhile, the boat coming toward Zack and Jason contained the potential renters that were seen at The Training Center. Angelo, loaded a flare gun. They drove past them before encircling the scarab. Zack realized that it was the people from The Center! The men fired a flare at them while circling. Jason was angry and blamed Zack for the mess and asked the men to give him a break! "Slow it down!" Jason started in on Zack.

"You know man, you are seriously uptight!" Zack said. "You are turning into like a mini-me of Sean." This really angered Jason even more. Jason told him that he was not like Sean! Zack asked why was he turning into psycho trainer? And then he greatly deepened his voice to imitate Jason. "Carrie! Do it! Do it!" Jason was not amused and threatened, "You're so dead!" His attention returned toward the harassing men. "Slow it down."

The men kept shooting flares and drinking beers. The driver with a beer in is hand, lost control of the vehicle. He tried desperately to regain control with the wheel causing Angelo to fall overboard. The lit flare that Angelo had been holding fell on the unused box-full. The driver went to the edge to see about Angelo while the boat zoomed where it wanted. He had fallen overboard as well. The box of flares got set off by the lit one, and suddenly there were fireworks onboard. The boys dived in to save the Lobster Bass guys.

Meanwhile, Jason is led to Erika's hotel room. She didn't bother to turn on the lights. Before Erika could get the door closed behind them, her hands were all over Sean. Soon Erika's arms encircled Sean's neck, her hand running through his hair. While they kissed uncontrollably, she got him up against the wall to pull his white polo up and over his head. They worked over to the bed. He then just managed to stop himself.

He told her that it wasn't right. It was him, all him. He assured Erika that he was attracted to her. With her giving him the money and everything it didn't seem right. Erika just stood there, wide-eyed and stunned. But Sean rattled on. He thought that she was a gorgeous girl. Erika asked him if he was joking. That this was some sort of sick joke. He came up to her room and now he didn't want to touch her. Sean reassured her that he found her incredibly attractive, but before he could finish his sentence, she slapped him hard. "Screw you! And your Center!" She growled.

The boys got the Lobster Bass men onto the scarab. The boat had now come to a complete stop. But it was on fire. They both panicked as the young woman who was on the beach with them earlier was trapped onboard. She had passed out before they started harassing Jason and Zack. Probably from having too much to drink. They tried to get up to go over to rescue her, but Jason and Zack told them to stay put. Jason and Zack thought fast. Zack would be backup. Zack took the fire extinguisher before he jumped into the water. The boys swam over to the boat. As Jason climbed aboard, Zack sprayed. Jason got the girl out of the burning cabin while Zack killed the flames. Jason told Zack to jump as he was going overboard with the girl. Zack just jumped as the boat exploded.

In Erika's hotel room, Sean was now playing the comforting listener. With an arm around her, he asked softly, "Now, why don't you tell me what's wrong?" She told him that it was her...a cold witch. She cried bitterly. "No, no..." Sean assured her. She was just...just...he tried to search for a word to describe her. He found "Definite." No, she assured him. She was a bully. She lost two boyfriends who were impotent. He didn't want her. "What's wrong with me? I ran a man away, for Christ's sake!" Sean was pretty much speechless. "I...was just...I." Sean tried to find words. She told him that she was sorry that she got angry. Of course she'll be his sponsor. It was just so hard. She just needed intimacy! She cried on his shoulder.

Later at Headquarters, Leigh was ready to leave. She had managed to close shop with no problem. Sean rushed in. He had heard of the kaos. Leigh rolled her eyes at him in disgust. He asked why she didn't 911 him? She guessed that he'd be busy. And she could see that she was right about that! She looked at his disarranged clothing. Leigh informed him that Jason and Zack were back and The Coast Guard was towing the boat. Sean tried to explain, but Leigh didn't want to hear it. He kept insisting until Leigh had the last word. She guessed that he got the money and guessed what he did for it. She hoped that The Center was worth it. She then walked away.

The helicopter hovered above the water. Jason and Leigh were there for the jump. Carrie told Jason that he didn't have to come. Jason wanted to. He had been riding her, but not for the reason that she thought-with the trainer thing and all. Carrie told him that they both needed to loosen up. She was going to do this on her own merit. Carrie told Leigh that Sean said that it was O.K. if she was up for it. She was going to move into her spare room. She then jumped.

At The Hawaiian Tropic, Leigh sat with the team at a table. Sean came over and whispered into her ear. He wanted a word with her. She got up and they walked away from the tables and into an open area close to the ocean. He wanted to explain. Leigh told Sean that he didn't have to explain anything to her. Sean went on to say that nothing happened between him and Erika. Leigh kept telling him that he didn't need to tell her. Sean insisted that he did. It wasn't easy for him either. But she had to understand something. He messed up. When he put his arms around another woman, he didn't feel anything. It's empty. All he wanted was his wife. He wanted hold his wife and son more than anything else in the world. But it was over. His family is gone. He can't see his way through a relationship with anybody. It wouldn't be fair to them. Leigh just stared at him silently as he talked. He's been an idiot. He's been running around, acting as if he could handle all the business himself. He can't handle the business. She told him that he had to.

He asked her to shut up because he was trying to ask her for her help. He needed her to handle the business. She questioned this. He needed her help. He told her that he did. There was a short silence. She smiled, welcoming him to the team. They walked back to the restaurant area. He offered his arm. She took it. He told her that this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. She told him to shut up as she smiled.  My Score: 2 Rescue Cans
