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, his 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.
This long-running series follows the adventures of a team of lifeguards on the crowded beaches of Los Angeles County. Veteran lifeguard Mitch Buchannon watches over the younger lifeguards that come and go with each passing season as they keep the beaches safe for vacationers. Frequently he must take action to save them from the raging seas and from the raging tempers that sometimes flare up between the young guards in this stressful job.
