Ep 13. Chance of a Lifetime

In Baywatch season 7 episode 13, titled "Chance of a Lifetime", the Baywatch team faces a challenging rescue mission to save the life of a young girl. The episode opens with Summer (Nicole Eggert) and Mitch (David Hasselhoff) on a date, where they witness a young girl named Diane (played by guest star Danielle Fishel) get hit by a car. The two immediately rush to her aid and call for an ambulance.

At the hospital, Diane's mother explains to the Baywatch team that the accident has left Diane with a serious brain injury and it's unlikely she'll survive without a liver transplant. However, the family doesn't have the money to pay for the transplant, as Diane's father lost his job and their medical insurance doesn't cover this type of procedure. The Baywatch team, determined to help save the girl's life, decides to organize a fundraiser to cover the cost of the transplant.

To raise money, the team decides to participate in a celebrity beach volleyball tournament. They gather a team of well-known athletes to compete against other teams in the tournament, including a rival team led by former Baywatch lifeguard, Craig Pomeroy (played by guest star Parker Stevenson). The tournament gets intense, and the Baywatch team faces some unexpected challenges along the way.

Meanwhile, Summer feels guilty for being absent from work to take care of Diane, so she tries to make it up to her boss, Logan (played by guest star Jaason Simmons), by covering for him when he gets injured. Summer struggles to balance her commitment to saving Diane's life with her responsibilities at Baywatch and her relationship with Mitch.

As the tournament reaches its final round, tensions between the Baywatch team and Craig's team escalate, and it becomes clear that winning isn't going to be easy. But with the help of an unexpected ally, the Baywatch team manages to rally and give it their all in the final match. The tournament ends in a close call, and it's not until the last point is scored that the team knows if they've won.

In the final moments of the episode, Summer receives some good news about Diane's condition and the success of the fundraiser. Mitch and Summer talk about their experiences during the episode, and the potential of their relationship is hinted at. The episode ends with the Baywatch team celebrating their victory on the beach, and the promise of a brighter future for Diane.
