Sean tries to help a young juvenile delinquent reform.
Continuing her assault on Sean’s team, Jenna calmly announces that she hopes to bring Leigh back to the North Shore Lifeguards. Sean keeps saying this won’t happen, but Leigh knows how Jenna is when she gets her mind on something. Meanwhile, the Snowden family (JIM, wife GWEN and young son JAMIE) are having a good time on the beach. Unbeknownst to them, Danny and another of his nefarious buds, VIN, are planning on scamming them and robbing them. They go into their routine and are about to steal the Snowden’s things when Gwen hears Jamie calling out: he’s gotten into trouble in the water. Not wasting any time, Danny jumps into action and saves the boy. Later, because Jamie was saved, the Snowdens decide not to press charges. Sean offers Danny a chance to reform: join the training team and start a new life. Danny enthusiastically agrees. Leigh thinks Sean’s making a big mistake.
Kekoa and her father have hit a new low. Under the impression that he was trying to make a reconciliation, Kekoa and he had a nice talk. At the end of the talk, she discovers that he now wants her to get married to a man he has handpicked. Tired of his interfering with her life, she storms out in a fit and winds up at JD’s house. He is comforting to her, but they do not do anything “wrong.” Later, at the headquarters, Kekoa discovers that a very personal bracelet of hers has gone missing. Sean’s keys are also gone. Leigh and Kekoa both feel that Danny is probably at fault, but know that Sean will stick up for him. That afternoon, Danny gets into a fight with Zack. He is becoming more trouble than even Leigh had envisioned. Sean, meanwhile, attempts to convince Jim Snowden not to press charges since Danny was responsible for saving his son’s life. Jim will not make a decision right away. He asks Sean if he has kids. Sean, thinking of his deceased son Ben, does not answer.
JD asks Jason’s advice for moving to the next step with Kekoa. Jason suggests he just be there for her. That evening, Mr. Tanaka shows up at JD’s apartment, wanting to bring Kekoa back. She arrives moments later and refuses to leave. Mr. Tanaka, truly upset, finally goes. JD presents Kekoa with a present: a bracelet that resembles the one that was stolen. Rather than being happy, Kekoa gets up to leave. No one understands her!
JD and Jason have tried to “bag some babes” at the airport. They pick up two girls from Missouri and offer to take them on a trip around the island while they wait for their bags to come in. Unbeknownst to them, the girls are actually scam artists and wind up stealing the Baywatch truck. The next day at the center, a jet ski goes missing. Sean is forced to admit that mentoring Danny might have been a mistake. In a rage, he confronts Danny about the theft, not be-lieving the youth’s pleas that he is innocent. Embarrassingly, JD confesses that Danny was telling the truth: the jet ski is in the shop being repaired. Sean and Leigh try to make amends with Danny, but he is not about to forgive and forget. He storms off. That night, using the keys he stole, he attempts to rob the Training Center. He is busted by Kekoa. He takes off in a scarab and almost hits an engagement party. The party goers all fall into the water. Sean and the team rescue them, including the bride-to-be. This time, when the cops ask Sean if Danny was responsible, Sean “sends him up the river.”
Kekoa gets her bracelet back. She and JD make up and start being more aggressively in-timate with each other. That night, Sean goes for a lonely drink. JD joins him, suddenly realizing this would have been his son’s birthday. He and Sean share a toast to Ben.
