Baywatch
The Edge
Season 9, Episode 11 · Aired 1998-12-14
Synopsis
Cody started swimming again but is very frustrated with his times. They aren't nearly as good as those from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics qualification races when a diving accident prevented him from going (6.22, Go for the Gold). He puts his career (and life) on the line when he starts using a performance-enhancing supplement in hopes of making it to the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which soon begins affecting his lifeguarding job. Meanwhile, Newman makes a play for Alex, who's oblivious to his moves, while she quarrels with Mitch over running the Baywatch lifeguard program. But when Mitch spends more time with Alex, including getting stuck in a traffic jam and ending up in a lifeguard tower to spend the night, Newman becomes jealous.
