After boarding without Neely, Lani, or Donna seeing them, Mitch and Cody surprise their colleagues by appearing at dinner. Hobie and Leslie make it obvious that they know when they’re not wanted. Hobie also knows that his father still disapproves of his impulse to invite a total stranger with them on the cruise.
When the ship docks in Ketchikan, Mitch and Cody prepare for a day of salmon fishing while Hobie and Leslie plan an outing in town. As Hobie and Clair are departing the ship, Clair spots Gavin at the gangplank anxiously scanning the crowd as they leave the ship. She quickly offers to baby-sit Neely’s infant, finding a convenient way to stay onboard while Gavin searched for her off the ship. Fortunately for Leslie, Gavin has met Donna, who he mistakes for Leslie because of her long blond hair. Donna, on the other hand, believes she has found her millionaire dream man.
Mitch and Cody are enjoying their day of salmon fishing, when a ferocious grizzly bear attacks Neely and forces them to make a daring rescue in the ice cold lake. Back on the ship, Neely recovers from her brush with death and thanks Mitch for saving her life. The moment grows in intensity and Mitch and Neely find themselves locked in a kiss. Confused by the moment, Mitch excuses himself and Neely is left to ponder her actions and her planned reunion with her ex-husband the next day.
With few options aboard the ship, Leslie plots to escape from Gavin by renting a paraglider at the next port and gliding over the mountaintops to safety.
Hobie joins Leslie on the paragliding excursion, unaware that she is not planning to return to the ship. Gavin manages to follow them to the take-off point.

White Thunder at Glacier Bay PT 2
Narrowly escaping Gavin for the moment, a clueless Hobie and Leslie take off on paragliders over the Alaskan mountaintops.
Gavin is soon right behind them, brandishing a gun.
With a confused Hobie following, Leslie lands her glider and takes off running. Gavin is in hot pursuit, eventually forcing them into an ice cavern from which they cannot escape.
Mitch, putting together the clues, realizes that Hobie is in a deadly situation, and gets Cody to help him come to the rescue. They track the three of them down to the ice cavern on the glacier and a violent fight ensues. Mitch and Cody manage to finally capture Gavin and Leslie who are then arrested and sent to jail.
Back on the ship, Neely tells Mitch that she couldn’t go through with reuniting with her ex-husband when she is actually in love with someone else.
Mitch asks who she is in love with, and she replies with a tender kiss. They marry on board.
