A brash new Australian lifeguard named Wiley Brown arrives at Baywatch on an exchange program. He and Mitch don't get along because of Wiley's self-serving ways of lifeguarding. He is also flirting with Kaye Morgan, who is now debating with herself whether to start dating Mitch after he finally asks her to dinner. Mitch is also troubled by a bad memory of a failed rescue attempt of a female windsurfer who died in Australia ten years ago. When Mitch is the victim of a series of life-threatening "accidents," he correctly begins to suspect Wiley, whose wife was the windsurfer.
