Ep 3. Bad Boyz

In Baywatch season 11 episode 3, titled "Bad Boyz," the team is faced with a group of troublemaking teens who refuse to follow the rules. The episode opens with the Baywatch lifeguards attempting to enforce new safety regulations on the beach, including a ban on loud music and alcohol. However, a group of rowdy teenagers, led by a charismatic troublemaker named Blade, refuses to comply with the rules.

Despite the efforts of lifeguard CJ Parker (who is serving as the beach's new supervisor) to reason with the teens, the situation quickly escalates. The teens begin vandalizing property, harassing other beachgoers, and even stealing rescue gear from the Baywatch tower.

Meanwhile, veteran lifeguard Mitch Buchannon is dealing with his own set of problems at home. His son, Hobie, is struggling in school and getting into trouble with his friends. Mitch tries to connect with Hobie and steer him in the right direction, but the teen is resistant.

As the situation on the beach deteriorates, CJ enlists the help of the other lifeguards to try and control the situation. Lifeguard Stephanie Holden tries to take a more empathetic approach with the teens, attempting to understand their perspective and convince them to cooperate. But when Blade and his crew refuse to back down, the team is forced to take measures to maintain order on the beach.

In the midst of the chaos, Mitch begins to see some of himself in Blade. The troubled teenager reminds him of his own rebellious past, and Mitch feels a sense of responsibility to try and reach out to him. As the episode reaches its climax, Mitch and Blade come face-to-face, and the veteran lifeguard tries to impart some wisdom to the young troublemaker.

Overall, "Bad Boyz" is a gripping and intense episode of Baywatch that explores issues of authority, rebellion, and the challenges of working with teenagers. Through its compelling storylines and nuanced character development, the show once again proves why it has become a beloved classic of 90s television.
