Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) has been working hard to earn his bronze medallion and become a lifeguard, so he’s nervous on his first day of patrolling the beach. He is, however, excited – but that excitement is quickly dashed when he enters the Surf Club and is instead given a list of chores to complete, as John (Shane Withington) is overwhelmed with various issues.
Later, John instructs him to wash the Polaris and service it thoroughly, and a dissatisfied Nikau accepts the task. Soon after, Theo (Matt Evans) approaches and asks if he’d be interested in collaborating on prank videos with him. Nikau denies and returns to his job, but Theo recognises an opportunity and rushes to the shore, exclaiming that there appears to be someone in need in the water.
Nikau leaps into action and orders Theo to get John, sprinting towards the water – only to be interrupted by Theo’s laughter behind him. When he turns around, he sees Theo jump into the Polaris and rev the engine before speeding away… Nikau is left wondering how on earth he can come clean to John. He enters the Surf Club and panics with Bella (Courtney Miller), before John inquires about the Polaris…
Meanwhile, Theo is having the time of his life, recording for his latest video with his phone propped up. As he speeds through the Bay, he remarks on how much of a goddess Chloe (Sam Barrett) is and how he would definitely kiss her again. He drives until the engine judders to a halt in the middle of some trees, indicating that it has run out of gas. He gets out of the car and walks away, seemingly unconcerned.
Theo quickly learns, however, that stealing a vehicle and going about his business is not an option. When he returns home, he walks through the front door and is greeted by both Justin and John who are waiting for him.
John informs him that he has the option of filing charges, but that instead, he will devise the ideal punishment for him…
