Sonny and his family are currently grieving after the loss of his nephew Zion in an accident that Sonny feels responsible for while Em reveals a romantic shared past with Will, although Will is now engaged to another woman. And Native Hawaiian lifeguard Laka is intrigued by his new colleague Jenn, a smart, capable and beautiful EMT.
