A young woman with a very offbeat and impulsive personality decides to jump off her charter boat and swim over to what she thinks is a deserted island. Here she meets Buz and gives him a very chilly reception until she gets her foot stuck in some rocks and he goes all out to try and save her from the incoming tide.
This is definitely one of the more intense episodes of the series as Buz tries absolutely everything, even considering cutting off her foot, in order to free her. The actors are put into an actual incoming tide and watching them fight off large waves that crash against them creates an amazing level of realism. Maharis gives a great performance as usual and has pretty much the whole show to himself as Milner goes into town and his completely oblivious to everything. This is good since, in my opinion, Maharis was clearly the better of the two actors and deserved more screen time to begin with.
Moore is good as the very glib and detached woman. She speaks with an interesting accent and seems almost like the Julie Newmar-Vicki Russell character, but with much more of an acerbic edge. The problem is we never learn much about her and why she acts the way she does as the entire episode is pretty much taken up with Buz trying to save her. The end result is an episode that is exciting, intriguing, and frustrating all at the same time.
Grade: B
