Matt is openly unamused by Aussie exchange program lifeguard Logan Fowler's hero complex, nearly running over a drowning man on his way to snatch a female from Matt. Mitch is hitting the breaks on Hobie's maternally sanctioned determination to commit to music. Stephanie has the hots for seismologist Riley Ferguson, but her sister returns homeless after a breakup. C.J. keeps turning up, panicking over a a mild tremor Mitch laughed away.

After Mitch rescues Hobie, he helps Matt commandeer a news helicopter to rescue Jackie from her trailer on the cliff. Hobie also breaks out of his shaken state long enough to help C.J. save the homeless man trapped under wreckage of the pier.
