This week's episode of Baywatch was very steamy and satisfying and action-packed, and the perfect episode to wrap the first season of Baywatchers! Spoiler alert: this is the episode Shauni and Eddie DO IT. Maybe. It's hard to tell, but it was heavily implied? They at least make out. And it's sexy as hell, knowing Billy Warlock and Erika Eleniak were engaged IRL. (This episode is a recap of Baywatch Season 1, Episode 11, "Shelter Me") __________________ Baywatchers will return with Season 2 in 2025!

This week's episode is a little trick and a LOT of treat, especially for all you Angie Harmon heads! We fully immersed ourselves in the chilling waters that are Baywatch Nights, however we didn't start with S1E1. No, no, we went FULL psycho, skipping right to the second season where things get off the hinges. A missing ship on the seafloor, claw-handed Ocean Bigfoot, Eddie Cibrian - this episode has it all!

It was 100% a coincidence that we got such a Gina Pomeroy-heavy episode, the same week we have comedian Peter Murphy (Goal.Com, Funniest People Pod), who filmed a pilot in 2020 with Holly Gagnier! The montages in this episode were very gratuitous and very Baywatch! Find Peter Murphy on Instagram and listen to Funniest People (You've Never Heard Of) on Spotify! (This episode is a recap of Baywatch Season 1, Episode 9, "Cretin of the Shallows") Correction for this episode: Nicole definitely meant "Limp Bizkit" when she said "Linkin Park." A message from our hosts: "This week episode was previously recorded, so we aren't able to feature a proper memorial to the hardest working legs on Baywatch, which of course belonged to the only *real* lifeguard on the beach, Michael Newman.

We've seen some fun guest stars on Baywatch to date, but no one as excellent as Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston. Boy does Walter White bring it as a Party Boat Captain! Was his defiance to Hoff a foreshadowing of what was to come with Heisenberg?? Oh, also, Shauni's in a tough sitch, but we almost wouldn't know because we only get Eddie's perspective.

We're not exactly sure where Ohio is on a map, but we KNOW it's a major plot point in this week's episode! Or maybe it's more of a threat? Either way, this episode has family drama, a plane crash and plenty of material for the actor who plays Original Hobie™️ to sink his teeth into!

Hobie's in trouble again - this time he's stolen boat and run into some KILLER CRIMINALS - and the adults don't seem too bothered, as per ushe.

Mariska Hargitay and David Spade are baby celebrities in this week's episode! Plus a shallow dive into Erika Eleniak's Playboy career. It's weird when The Hoff takes a backseat in an episode, and Hobie's completely absent! (This episode is a recap of Baywatch Episode 3 "Second Wave.")

Craig Pomeroy was going to have to make a decision at some point - he couldn't keep showing up to his law office in his swim trunks! This episode also has kids trapped in a sewer (spoiler alert: not Hobie this time!), a stereotypically disheveled P.I, and so much disdain for firefighters! (To be fair, the firemen in this episode are dumber than a bucket of sand!) (This episode is a recap of Baywatch Episode 2 "Heat Wave.")

Aside from the near-nude hotties and their famous running, here's what we know about iconic 90s show Baywatch, two episodes in: David Hasselhoff and Parker Stevenson will win you over David Hasselhoff REFUSES to panic, even when he should be panicking (Wendy Malick WILL panic, if the conditions are right) "[Hobie], you in danger, girl."

Rookies, this is David Hasselhoff. Hoff, these are the new recruits. I hope y'all are ok with some light stalking, near-drowning and boat explosions? Great, consider yourselves students of the School of Mitch Buchanan and get ready to "Panic at Malibu Pier!"
