Mr. DeMartino, Mr. O'Neill, and Mrs. Barch take their classes on a paintballing field trip. Daria and Jane ditch the group to go to a 'great white shark' exhibit that turns out to be a tourist trap, and later new relationships are made (and broken) in tents after it starts to rain.

Although Ally and Cage have talked about going out on a "real date", a nervous Ally tries to get Cage to break it off so that she doesn't have to. Ally's strange behavior makes Cage suspicious that she hasn't fully gotten over Billy.

The episode starts with a lot of people gathered around a dead dolphin. Mitch and April arrive in a lifeguard truck and Mitch lets April transport the dead dolphin to the Marine Lab. Later some drug dealers make a deal on the beach. Behind some bushes, Garner Ellerbee is sitting on a horse named Earl, watching them. When the deal has been made, Garner starts riding towards the drug dealers. Two of them drive off on ATVs, and the third one disappears on a wave-runner. During the chase, Garner passes the tower where Mitch and April are talking. They join him for the chase in a lifeguard truck. Garner and Mitch capture the drug dealers and Mitch and Garner catch up on their lives together.
