Buzz's carelessness caused him, head-wounded, and Mitch to remain floating while the yacht sails out of reach. After more strange phenomena, Matt agrees to help superstitious lover C.J. find out what's true about the half-centennial hotel legend of suicidal jumper Rupert Mansfield, questioning his surviving, home-retired but seclusive beloved Diana Sutherland. While Mitch struggles to keep the Buchannon brothers above water and in fighting spirit, their sons playful camaraderie soon gives way to increasing worries about abandonment, but the ordeal is just what Buzz needs to come to his paternal senses and a wholesale rescue effort succeeds just when Mitch's swim marathon reaches its exhausted end.
