Catalog log
Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.
There's a hurricane coming, and the lifeguards at the Baywatch headquarters are all preparing for the worst. In the middle of this mess, Jenna sends a false rescue to Sean because she needs a ride back to HQ. This puts them both in a dangerous situation as the storm is approaching when they're far away from the other lifeguards. They accidentally crash their Scarab and find shelter in an old military bunker. A tree falls over the entrance making it impossible for them to get out, and later on it's starting to leak water into the small bunker. Sean manages to find a drain, but the water is not draining at the same speed it's flowing in. They both realize that they're going to drown in there, and share a lot of personal experience with each other. At HQ, Zack is all alone with his music and Jason's donuts. All of a sudden, a tourist approaches. He later finds out that she's a freelance journalist named Ivy, searching for some big news to get on television. She is so desperate that she's going to put them both in danger.

Born in 1989, it becomes the 1990s' international camp empire — lifeguard as lifestyle brand. Early hours still have earnest California sun; later ones are the pure export machine.
