Catalog log
Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.
The new training center is finally done and ready to be boarded. Jason's individuality becomes a problem as he performs a way to risky jet ski pickup, so Sean wants to dismiss him from the team. After talking to the other lifeguards, Sean decides that he'll try to teach Jason some risk management; basically the skill of preventing accidents - on the sand. Jason learns and does his job perfectly, but three guys would not listen to him, and one of them breaks his neck. Meanwhile, Dawn outstays her welcome when she joins Nick and Allie in their private helicopter ride. All of a sudden they find a boat with no crew, and later find out that a pregnant woman went into labor after falling overboard.
