Neely and Cody are called on to break up a fight on the Venice Boardwalk started by a crazed young woman whom Neely recognizes as Jamie Duncan, the top female bodyboarder in the world. She runs off before the lifeguards can apprehend her, and when Jamie fails to appear at the Wild Wahine bodyboarding tournament the next morning, Neely enlists Mitch to do a little detective work. He learns that she has disappeared from her hotel – without taking her prescription for lithium. This confirms Neely’s worst fears. Her sister had been manic depressive and she sees that Jamie is displaying the same symptoms.
Jamie, meanwhile, is sleeping fitfully in a back alley on Venice Beach. When two homeless scavengers threaten her, she goes on a rampage through the boardwalk stalls. Neely and Cody break up the fight and take Jamie into custody. Back at Headquarters, Neely finally gets through to Jamie by relating the tragic story of her sister. She convinces Jamie to take her medication and is there to cheer her to victory when Jamie wins the Wild Wahine bodyboarding competition.
The new romance between Mitch and Sam is put to its first real test when Sam fears that working together will ruin their relationship. On top of that, her ex-fiancé and business partner shows up as the organizer of the Wild Wahine bodyboarding competition. Thinking the best way to keep her relationship with Mitch alive is to leave lifeguarding, she rejoins her former partner as a special events promoter. However, the solution back fires — compounding the problems she’s been trying to solve, making her realize that the issues between her and Mitch weren’t quite as serious as she originally believed.
Back at the lifeguard tower, Newman spots the woman of his dreams and decides he must meet her and ask her out. But when he makes his big move, he discovers that she speaks no English. At first he loses hope, but then recruits Manny as a translator. Love is in the air when the three of them are last seen heading off to Guadalajara to meet the lovely senorita’s parents.
