and it turns out to be Richie.
The final Rookies were to be chosen in the final race
'The Gaunlet.' Hobie, who purposely held back in the preliminary, came
on strong with experience and skill to win over Manny (Jose
Solano). April showed sheer determination to get the last spot.

episode # 170 air date: 16 Feb 98
After the team rescues Captain Bob (Joseph Whipp) and
his sons, J.D. (Michael Bergin)
tries to talk some of the Lifeguards into joining him in diving for sea
urchins and they would get to keep a nice percentage of the money from
what they caught. Captain Bob and his son collect and sell the sea urchins
to the markets in the Far East for $500 a pound. When Cody's (David
Chokachi) car breaks down, he knew that he had to do it for the money
to get a new one. Jordan (Traci
Bingham) told him that it would take $2100 to have his car fixed.
Mitch (David
Hasselhoff) has eyes for a young woman who rides her horse on the
beach everyday. He tells Cody to get her name, address and information
and to 'Cite' her. New rules on the beach. Cody does with her not believing
that she has been 'Cited,' so and Mitch intervenes to tell Cody that they
could let her off with just a warning. Cody realizes that Mitch has just
set him up so that he could meet her. The woman's name was Jenny Wade
(Maura Peters). Jenny's horse, named 'To the Max,' was a champion racehorse,
but was recuperating from hock surgery and she is worried that he may
never race again.
In order for Mitch to work up the courage to ask her
out, Hobie (Jeremy Jackson)
agrees to help him get a date with her by taking the riding lessons that
Mitch suggested. Jenny knew what Mitch was up to from the beginning with
the fake citation.
After the boys gather a hefty catch of sea urchins, someone
is signaling for help. One of the divers never came back exploring rock
formation. He couldn't go down to look for him because his 'bottom time'
was up. Cody and J.D. couldn't dive again either as their bottom time
was up as well. They would get the bends if they went under. Lani volunteers
to go under, even though she has a cold. Cody and J.D. didn't want her
to do it, as she would not be able to equalize because of her cold. Captain
Bob was no diver. She was the only choice. Reluctantly, they suit her
up and she finds the man who is out of air. She tries to calm him down.
They share the air and as they make their way up, Lani suddenly grabs
her head as she suffers convulsions. Mitch and April get to them and Mitch
tries to calm her down and get her back to the surface. April helps the
other diver. Her eardrum ruptured and causes her to lose her hearing.
Cody feels helpless and blames himself for the situation for letting her
go down in the first place.

Cody (David Chokachi)
gets in over his head when two rich local men challenge him to a boat
race and he uses Mitch's (David
Hasselhoff) boat as marker. Cody injures himself attempting a rescue
and is unable to race. He cannot get up the stairs to his apartment and
Newmy (Michael Newman) helps him over to the Buchannon's residence for
their planned poker game. J.D. (Michael
Bergin) and Manny (Jose Solano)
cancels out at the last minute. It was the three of them and Mitch provided
the baby as a fourth player. She was winning with Mitch's help. Cody and
Newmy did not like playing with the baby as a player. Newmy mentions the
race since Cody was hurt. Cody did not want to tell Mitch about using
his boat as a marker to cover a bet. He had to admit to the whole thing,
as he could not race with a leg injury. The doctor told him to stay off
of it for a couple of days. To make things worse, Cody asked Mitch if
he could crash out on his sofa for a couple of days.
Mitch goes along with Cody to tell the men that the race
is off because of injury and because the boat was his. When they asked
Mitch why couldn't he race them in Cody's place, he tells them that he
doesn't want to. When they start talking about Lifeguards and call Mitch
'Pops,' the challenge is accepted. Mitch would race in Cody's place.
The two men who challenged them were going to cheat in
the race by wiring it to go faster. The plan backfires as their boat soon
overheats and catches fire when the men takes it to high speed in order
to leave their competitors behind. They had to jump out to safety. Newmy
speeds up and allows Mitch to jump aboard the other boat, which is still
going at high speed. Mitch has to try and stop the boat, which is now
headed toward the pier loaded with people. He gets the fire out with an
extinguisher and pulls out wires until the boat stops just short of the
pier.
Neely (Gena Lee Nolin)
gets a second job as a cocktail waitress so that she can raise the necessary
money to find a really nice apartment. Mitch is asked to act as sitter
until she lands the job, and again when she moonlights after landing it.
Mitch has other plans as he prepares the guestroom for Neely and the baby.
Neely loses her second job because she dropped too many glasses for the
manager to keep her. She seeks Mitch's comfort and is both pleased and
surprised when he shows her the wallpaper for the guestroom that he is
fixing up for her and Ashley.

claimed that she heard a moaning sound. When she rejoined Hobie, she sees
Gavin and stares, hoping that he does not recognize her. Gavin claims
to be the victim's brother. Gavin asks to have a moment alone with him.
From his semi-conscious state, Robby tells Gavin where Leslie is going
and what Cruise Ship she is on.
Hobie brings Leslie home and introduces her to Mitch.

to go to the bathroom. Mitch makes his disapproval known because Hobie
had just met her and was taking her on the Cruise.
A description of Leslie is given to Gavin and he sets

Neely (Gena lee Nolin)
went to visit Peter to tell him about Ashley.
Gavin (Don Diamont) has made his way after Leslie (Heather
Stephens) and Hobie (Jeremy
Jackson) and is soon airborne right behind them. Hobie still doesn't
know what's going on. Gavin forces them down with a gun, firing warning
shots.
Mitch (David
Hasselhoff) and Cody (David
Chokachi) finds Donna (Donna
D'Errico) and asks where Hobie is. Donna tells im that he had gone
paragliding with Clair. He and Cody was going after them. He tells donna
to stay away from Gavin. Notice how Mitch didn't use the name Paul Nicholas
(the name Gavin gave her). He had no indication as to what his real name
was, but he was suddenly using it!
Hobie and Leslie quickly shed their gear and scurry through
the slippery Glaciers. Gavin lands soon after and is firing at them in
a continued chase. Finally the two are trapped in a bank and Gavin is
now looking down upon them. He forces Leslie to unfasten the straps of
the backpack with Hobie's urging and let him help them up. He really had
no intention of helping them up the glacier as he left them below.
Mitch and Cody make the only way that is accessable to
the glaciers-by air. Their helicopter lands and they are soon looking
for them. The two find the paraglides and gear. They call for Hobie while
they make their search.
Gavin is angered because the emeralds are not in the
pack. Leslie pulls them out and tells him to come and get them. Hobie
tells her to give him the emeralds. They are not worth dying for. Hobie
tosses one up only to have his aim altered with interference from Leslie.
Gavin's trying to reach for it causes him to fall below. He is trapped
with them. He forces them to give the emeralds to him. This is where Hobie
learns all about Clair. Gavin tells all-that she is Leslie Stryker and
duped him into her plot. That she is wanted for attempted murder. Leslie
was a con artist that she used him to get to Alaska safely with stolen
emeralds.
Hobie hears his Father calling for him. Hobie answers
with Gavin still pointing the gun at them. Mitch and Cody see them below
and Gavin orders them to help him out. Fearing that the gunman might injure
or kill Hobie, Mitch tells him to put the gun down first. When Gavin yells
out a threat, they toss the rope down to him. Hobie sees a chance and
tries to unarm Gavin. Gavin throws him off against the glacier. Cody pulls
on the rope causing his gun to fall. When Mitch gets down the bank, a
fight with Gavin ensues. Leslie tries to go for it, but Hobie stops her.
Gavin is overtaken by Mitch and Cody gets them all up the Glacier. Gavin
and Leslie are arrested. Hobie asks them to hold up before taking them
into custody. He asked Leslie if she really meant anything that she said
about them. Leslie's reply was to the police. To get them off the glacier
before they froze to death. Hobie was hurt.
Later, Mitch sees Hobie standing on deck alone. He asked
him how he was doing. When they took their trademark walk on the deck,
Hobie realized that his Father was right-again. Mitch asked if he had
his Tux with him because he was going to ask Neely to marry him. He wanted
Hobie to be his best man. He showed his son the ring.
When Mitch asked Neely to marry him, she was practically
all over him. She said yes. The wedding was lovely and Neely was radiant.
Donna was her Matron of Honor. Even Ashley was well behaved. She didn't
cry while Hobie held her through the ceremony. Mitch and Neely said their
own vows to each other and then when they were pronounced husband and
wife, he kissed the bride. The Captain now introduced the newly married
couple to the guest of the wedding as Mr. and Mrs. Mitch Buchannon. The
honeymoon was nice and the couple got to know each other.
