Panic at Malibu Pier	Richard Compton	Story by : Michael Berk & Douglas Schwartz and Gregory J. Bonann Teleplay by : Michael Berk & Douglas Schwartz	April 23, 1989 (1989-04-23)	25.9^[1]
Mitch Buchannon, just promoted to lieutenant, is having regrets about what he is giving up. He has an argument with his former wife Gayle who has filed suit to have full custody of their son Hobie. Eddie Kramer and Shauni McClain are two of the rookie class of '89 to qualify. An Australian immigrant, Trevor Cole, is a lifeguard at a beach club which uses part of the beach overseen by Baywatch, but he alienates Mitch with his arrogant, competitive attitude, which extends to putting lives at risk during a rescue. Shauni resents being assigned to a lifeguard boat, but when ordered to perform CPR on a young girl who has been rescued, she freezes, and lifeguard Jill Riley tries to console her. A young women, Laurie Harris (Mädchen Amick), attempts suicide by jumping off a pier, and is rescued by Craig Pomeroy who takes her back to his tower to keep an eye on her. She develops an extreme infatuation with him, and when Craig is about to close his tower, Laurie disrobes and tries to seduce him. Craig rebuffs her, but they are seen by fellow lifeguard Owen arriving to give Craig a lift. Later at Mitch's party, Laurie manages to convince Gina that she and Craig had sex together. Next day, Craig and Gina find a distraught Laurie with bruises on her neck which she says were inflicted by her father, so they let her spend the night in their house. Next morning, Craig visits Laurie's mother who tells him that Laurie's father has been dead for ten years and Laurie was recently released from a mental hospital because she was harming herself. Fearing that Gina might be in danger from Laurie, Craig finds them under the pier with Laurie attacking Gina with a knife. Craig wrestles the knife away from her and subdues her. Mitch's is ordered to tell his long-time lifeguard friend Al that he is being taken off the beach because he is past his prime. Later, Al takes Hobie on a fishing trip and an accidental propane explosion in the ship's kitchen destroys the boat. Al tries to calm the other survivors as they cling to debris in the water. Among the rescuers is Shauni, who must overcome her fears, and Mitch who, along with Al, try to rescue three people including Hobie trapped underneath the capsized boat on the ocean floor. After Mitch dives to the boat to investigate, he returns to a rescue boat for scuba gear, while Al free-dives and reaches those trapped. Mitch and Al rescue the survivors, but, in the process, Al's legs become tangled in a fishing net, preventing him from surfacing. Mitch dives and releases him, but, despite Mitch performing CPR on him, Al dies. Baywatch arranges a funeral at sea for Al, at which Mitch eulogizes his fallen friend.
