APRIL 7TH, 1996 - Doomed romance is in the air (and under the sea) when love goes wrong! On the surface, two star-crossed teens play out a tortured affair, with their parents dead-set on tearing them apart! Meanwhile, Cody finds affection beneath the waves from a mermaid with a familiar face! Is our blond beefcake suffering from oxygen deprivation or has he really found a creature from myth? And just why is his lady love, the always alluring CJ, so keen for her man to meet his fantastical fishy fan?
There's pubescent sincerity, suicidal ideation, and fairy tale romance on this episode of Hot Red Shorts - A Gay Watch of Baywatch! The always cute but usually dopey Manny, junior lifeguard from the streets, gives us a window into some earnest emotional yearning from a set of teens, a Romeo + Juliet parallel that's impossible to miss. But who cares about adolescent angst when CJ and Cody are burning up the screen!? CJ continues to prove just how open-minded she is, fully accepting the existence of mermaids and pretty cool with one gunning for her boyfriend. Just how accepting can one woman be?! I guess when it comes to Cody, nobody can be blamed for how they react!
