A new lifeguard named Neely Capshaw has been transferred to Baywatch from Huntington. She asks if she can work with Matt so that he can train her in basic procedures. In their tower, Neely comes on to Matt but he rejects her telling her about his relationship to C.J. Later when Matt arrives to Neely's tower she is nowhere to be seen, so Matt is forced to rescue a little girl in trouble. Neely is in her tower drinking alcohol. While Matt is carrying the victim to shore, Neely comes to his assistance. When they have performed CPR on the victim, Matt realizes that Neely has been drinking because he can smell it on the victim while he is doing mouth-to-mouth.

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.
