The druglord, Ramon Toledo, captured in the previous episode has a deal. He will receive an operation and a kidney from his brother, Miguel in return for information. This upsets Kelly, whose complaints, in turn, upset Dr. Valerie West. But the druglord has a hidden agenda. He has his brother's wife and children kidnapped so he can force his brother to help him escape. Bobby, who is in the hospital, from a minor volleyball injury, suspects something but has nothing concrete. Kelly goes with the team to a bar, the Tailwind, and discovers Janine is working there and sees that she is dating Bobby who is brawling with a guy who harassed Janine. Bobby learns who Janine's father is. The druglord sends Kelly and his team on a one way mission to rescue two DEA agents while he escapes with his brother and Valerie as hostages. It is up to Kelly and the Sea Dragons to survive and set things right.

When a pilot and his plane disappear with an experimental stealth device, he is suspected of being involved with a militia group.

The Sea Dragons are sent to Korea to try and help get a defector across the border. Kelly's budding romance with Dr. West is interupted by the reassignment. Kelly decides to help Tomlin, a former navy man whose daughter is missing (she is being held prisoner by a nightclub.) McCray tries to romance a translator teaching him Korean. Robert finds out the woman running the nightclub is being tipped off by a pilot, Fingers, whom they thought was helping them. After they finish their mission the Sea Dragons rescue the girl too.

After Seaton Palmer, an Irish terrorist with the R.F.I. is captured with nerve gas, Kelly and the Sea Dragons investigate. Annalisa Lindstrom and A.J. Conaway try going on a date. At the end of the episode Kelly is trying to decide which member of the team to let go due to budget cutbacks.
