Ep 10. I Spike

In Baywatch season 5 episode 10, titled "I Spike", the team at Baywatch is on the lookout for a new volleyball coach after their current one, Craig (portrayed by Parker Stevenson), has to leave due to personal reasons. After holding some auditions, they settle on a new coach named Vicky (played by Karen Roe), who is highly recommended and comes with an impressive resume.

Meanwhile, the team also has to deal with the arrival of a group of rowdy frat boys who are causing trouble on the beach. Their antics eventually lead to a volleyball game between them and the Baywatch team, with the stakes being that if the Baywatch team loses, they have to clean up the beach for a week.

During the game, tensions are high and it becomes clear that the frat boys are playing unfairly, with one of them spiking the ball directly into the face of Hobie (played by Jeremy Jackson), one of the Baywatch players. Hobie is injured and has to be taken to the hospital, causing the rest of the team to become even more determined to win the game.

In the end, the Baywatch team pulls off a dramatic comeback and wins the game, much to the dismay of the frat boys. However, the victory is short-lived as the team soon discovers that the frat boys have vandalized their beach trucks and they now have to clean up the mess as part of the bet.

In addition to the main plot, the episode also explores the romantic tension between Stephanie (played by Alexandra Paul) and Mitch (played by David Hasselhoff). Stephanie is clearly interested in Mitch, but he seems oblivious to her advances and instead focuses on his work. However, as the episode progresses, Mitch starts to realize that he might have feelings for Stephanie as well.

Overall, "I Spike" is a fun and exciting episode of Baywatch that showcases the series' iconic beach setting and adrenaline-fueled action sequences. With a mix of comedy, drama, and romance, the episode has something for everyone and is sure to delight fans of the long-running series.
