Balls on the Beach

Strewth mate! Remember early on when they hinted at Jill and Trevor as a couple? Well now they do too. Jill gets a storyline and some backstory and character as well! She used to play volleyball. And gets back into it to show her ex partner she's annoyed with him.

Meantime the death pier is breaking apart. So someone puts an armored car full of money on the edge. Shauni and Eddie are in it when things come tumbling down.

Trevor and Jill's story does get a bit more time. And gives both some needed character. Some of the shots seemed to be reused for the volleyball games. You don't know how this story will end, but the ending you get is satisfying. Although you will have a hard time suspending disbelief. It seems will to win can overcome injuries. Apparently.

The other story sees Shauni and Eddie bonded further as a couple by their experience. It's not a bad story but one of those that is looking to end as quickly as possible. Again though the two are a little less annoying when they have good drama to work with.

We do get a Newmie sighting. And I think we shaw Shippy as well. The construction crew boss is quite cool and well acted. No Captain Thorpe and no Gina once again.

Hobie also does something that would get him in trouble nowadays. Mitch thinks it's cool though. Ah, the 80's.

Almost a bit above average, but just not quite.

Storytelling Fiasco

Jill teaches kids that risking permanent injury to try to prove something to an ex-boyfriend is totally cool. Eddie teaches kids that the Lakers are more important than girlfriends. Dilapidated pier requires succor. Freak accident traps brave heroes. Trepidation supervenes.

Poor ep.

Baywatch!

Woo-hoo constant clips of people hitting a volleyball and cheering for 30 minutes, with some a-hole and no actual scenes, great stuff. Then there's stupid Eddie doing stupid things.

Science!

...and slow motion volleyball.

In this episode we learned that armored cars are not toys and you should not leave them on dilapidated piers overnight. Water can get into a sealed armored car, but oxygen can't, so keep that in mind when trying to rescue people trapped inside.

Being a kid who grew up in the mean streets of Philly, it makes sense that Eddie loves the Lakers so much that he would rather go see them than hang out with his girlfriend all weekend...and also can't tell her.

Lots of slow motion volleyball, so if you like that this episode is for you. Make sure to stay until the end to find out who wins the greatest volleyball contest ever held on a beach.
