Out of the Blue

Jordan erfährt, dass ihre leibliche Mutter eine Weiße ist und überwindet ihre jahrelange Abneigung gegen sie. Die Beziehung von Caroline und DJ wird wieder enger. Aber dann bekommt Caroline ihre große Chance - in New York.

Manny and April are being trained to be better lifeguards by doing a victim hoisting training exercise. Lt. Taylor Walsh keeps on eye on them and make sure that everything goes according to plans. The helicopter lowers the hoisting bed and the victim, this time a dummy, is secured. Now they need to reattach the hoisting device and give a thumb up sign to the helicopter. Everything seems to be working well but that's just until unsure grips causes the bed to tip over. This causes the victim to fall into the water. April tells Taylor that it was her fault. Taylor says that it's OK, because it was just an exercise. But still it could have been a real situation. As a small punishment for their failure, neither one of them are assigned any towers. Since they have some time off, Manny helps April with her designs for her fashion class. He tells her that her designs remind people too much about Wisconsin. He agrees to help her make them look like the clothes people are wearing in California.

Mientras extraños temblores de tierra asolan el área, Mitch intenta que Jordan conozca a su verdadera madre biológica en una salida de pesca, que resulta ser una mujer blanca llamada Rene, que se está muriendo de un trastorno cerebral y cree que el problema es hereditario. Pero las cosas cambian después de que una enorme ola roja, provocada por un temblor submarino, volca el barco de pesca y atrapa a Rene debajo de la cubierta en una habitación con gases tóxicos.
