Mitch helps an Italian movie actress who ruthless robbers are stalking. He decides to help her capture them and finds himself falling for her. Meanwhile, Summer and C.J. help Guido pretend to be a lifeguard to impress his visiting mother.

Paralyzed during a heroic rescue, Mitch undergoes a vigorous rehabilitation regimen. While he struggles to walk again, he becomes increasingly angry and frustrated at not being able to use his legs. He pushes away Hobie and even Stephanie, who offers him support. Only Ben Edwards can relate to Mitch with his own walking disability. Meanwhile, the hitman Riddick sent to kill Jason plans one last attempt to murder the boy at the hospital swimming pool, and Mitch is the only one nearby who can save him.
