Manny helps Mitch and Samantha with their CPR class. The “students” of the day are misdemeanor offenders of the city who must pay restitution by picking up litter on the beach. In the class are two of Manny’s neighborhood friends. Manny left the barrio; they did not, choosing instead a life of gang warfare. “Pulga,” one of Manny’s old pals, feels that Manny ran out on the neighborhood and Manny cannot convince Pulga that his mother left the barrio to escape a life of gangs. Despite a simmering conflict between the two young men, Pulga learns CPR techniques from Manny.
When one of Pulga’s fellow gangsters almost kills a rival, Pulga reluctantly remains behind at the accident site while his “friend” runs away. Pulga indeed performs CPR on the rival, saving his life before the paramedics arrive. Pulga races off, hiding at Manny’s place. Manny convinces him to turn himself into the police because he was not the one at fault–and by hiding he had become a suspect. Instead, he saved two lives: the rival and his fellow gang member (who would have gone to jail for murder had the other died.)
Meanwhile, Neely can’t stop studying the behavior of Mitch and Samantha. She sees the playful pats, the deep gazes, the longing stares. She thinks they are having an affair. Confronting them, she gets a flat denial. However, Mitch and Samantha are in love and are concealing it from Baywatch. Both have had prior loves…lost them…fear losing another. Facing these problems, they decide to commit to a relationship and announce it to all of Baywatch.
