Stephanie and Tom decide to go on a sailboat cruise for their honeymoon. They scrape up some loser teens as a crew. Dweebs, dorks, cretins, pinheads, and a geek with a high IQ (for this group room temperature is above average IQ) round out the group setting sail.

Before they set sail, CJ and Cody arrive with several bags of Cracker Jacks and chips to sustain them on the 2 week voyage.

Two of the "intellectuals" on the crew, who happen to be step brothers, destroy the radio while beating each other to a pulp. But hey, who needs communication when a huge hurricane is moving in?

During the storm some rigging falls and lands on Stephanie. Although she appears uninjured, she is mortally wounded.

So ends the career of the least attractive and most annoying female lifeguard on Baywatch!

My least favorite episode of the 90's.

This episode is a struggle. This is one of my least favorite episodes of Baywatch. It was only written just to give Alexandra Paul an exit from her time on the show. This didn't need to have such a dramatic ending! I would have rather seen Stephanie's cancer come back at the beginning of the season and it would have been easier to handle for her departure. Whatever the reason behind the writing of this plot was they should have executed it differently. I'm guessing Alexandra Paul was contracted to finish so many episodes by this time in the series and therefore they chose a very dramatic exit for her character of Stephanie Holden.

Shouldn't that boat have a beacon that emits a signal that can be picked up by radar and the Coast Guard? How bout a radio marine telephone in addition to the marine vhf radio that got busted,after all, this is the La County Lifeguard top brass pretty much. Also, Poseidon Adventure music in the background....cooool!

Her slenderness kicks the bucket. Stud Wavy Hair, the other Stud Wavy Hair, her husband, Dr Salmonrella, several juvenile delinquents, and of course Neely nemesis are there, on her honeymoon, on a sailboat, at sea, I am not making this up. Did they think the viewers would say "Oh, yeah. Just like a normal honeymoon"? Are we disbelief-impaired? What is wrong with us? Wood carving is nice hobby. Let's try that.

I wish all the characters could be mutes. I want to like this episode, and the fashion choices are groovy. But like, it's not good.

Only the duds are not a dud. One star.

Baywatch!

Van Patten's so badly cast. "It's bad isn't it?" Sure is! Did we really need Neely's flashbacks.
