Are all of the Will and Em shippers rejoicing? As a result of Rescue: HI-Surf Season 1 Episode 8 lastly DID one thing with that pairing, and it’s injected numerous juice into the storyline.
Absolutely, all of us knew it was heading right here ultimately, however we didn’t know when.
Doing it now, pre-wedding, and no matter is about to observe on the station makes for some thrilling storylines.
Coming off of Rescue: HI-Surf Season 1 Episode 7, which was heavy on private drama, I used to be lower than impressed as a result of the emergencies drive this present.
They’re the perfect half, however even I have to admit that this one was as soon as once more mild on rescues however one of many higher hours this season.
Maybe they simply want the suitable drama to actually make an impression.
The Will and Em saga has existed since lengthy earlier than we met them, and I at all times benefit from the moments when Laka is within the background and walks away when the 2 of them are engaged in a type of stare-into-each-others-eyes moments they’re so keen on.
We nonetheless solely know bits and items of their historical past, however they clearly parlayed heartbreak into a really robust and respectful friendship. That doesn’t masks the truth that they’re nonetheless in love, however give them props for making an attempt!
Julie’s not wanting Em on the wedding ceremony was completely affordable, and possibly Em had no proper to really feel offended. Nonetheless, it probably had much less to do with the snub and extra with the continued actuality that Will was transferring on.
I’ve been ready for these two to have their large struggle, the place they really discuss to one another in regards to the state of affairs as a result of it usually seems like they dance round all the pieces.
They’re a well-oiled machine in each side besides how they convey their conflicted and sophisticated emotions about each other and Will’s impending marriage.
Em didn’t know that Sonny sending her to reprimand Will was a little bit of a check, nevertheless it did permit her to lastly get a bit of dig in about his relationship, which I do know she’s been sitting on ceaselessly.
Will instantly leaping to Em being jealous or harm and never doing her job was disappointing, however that’s the place these private {and professional} traces blur while you work with individuals you’re in love with.
Is that a part of the rationale why they broke up? Was it as a result of Em turned Lieutenant? Relationship a subordinate is usually frowned upon in all jobs, however we have to know extra about their historical past to know if that’s the case.
It might make sense, particularly with what number of occasions we’ve heard about Em eager to advance her profession, however I discover it onerous to consider that’s the one cause issues went south. They like one another an excessive amount of to finish it over a job.
However seeing these two in a bit of tiff didn’t final lengthy within the right here and now as a result of they’re Will and Em. They’re really greatest pals, and when the one rescue got here alongside, it was the 2 of them who stepped up collectively to avoid wasting the day.
The paragliding rescue was nice. They saved Curt after which realized that there was a second particular person on the market they might have by no means identified about primarily based on the restricted data they had been working with.
How scary would it not be to be sucked right into a cave underneath the water and primarily simply be stranded in there with no concept if anybody would come or simply how rapidly the tide would rise?
Earlier than it aired, the promotion for this present usually talked about how harmful these waters had been, and the present does an incredible job of showcasing simply how treacherous it may be on the market alongside the necessity to respect the ocean.
That poor girl washed up in a cave and will need to have been terrified.
We’ve seen all of the lifeguards at numerous occasions however themselves in powerful conditions, however seeing Em and Will down in these caves unlocked a brand new concern in me. What in the event that they couldn’t flip round?
What in the event that they thought they had been heads to a pocket of air, nevertheless it wasn’t there? All of the what-ifs!
You’ll not see one thing like this wherever else on tv, and that’s what makes Rescue: HI-Surf stand out.
How did they movie that? How considered that? The questions are countless!
Popping out of that rescue, Em obtained the applause she deserved, and after her discuss with Sonny (extra on him in a minute!), she was in all probability feeling a surge of adrenaline and a complete host of swirling feelings.
Em believed her dream was coming true, and I’m positive there was no different particular person on this planet she needed to rejoice with than Will. However since that wasn’t potential, the subsequent neatest thing was apologizing and making up together with her particular person.
I used to be not offered on this pairing to start with, however they’ve grown on, and all the pieces on this hour with them was fairly rattling compelling.
Em’s apology and Will simply taking her in his arms after she confessed to lacking her probability was the stuff of your favourite rom-com. You simply knew they had been going to kiss, as there have been simply too many feelings coursing by way of them after the day they’d.
However Will pulling away after which nearly pulling away in that big-ass van? Oh, I yelled on the tv! He couldn’t depart her on the market so susceptible and uncertain, and fortunately, he got here to his senses, however now what?
They’ve each crossed that line now. They’re each cheaters. However does it finish with that kiss? Do they interact in a full-blown affair? Or do they keep in mind why it didn’t work out the primary time and fake they’ll return to the established order?
A lot for these two to consider!
After telling his spouse that he needed to retire, Sonny had a lot to consider. He did the suitable factor by going to the Chief first, however he did the incorrect factor by not heeding his recommendation.
God love Sonny, however the Chief advised him fairly bluntly that he couldn’t simply promise his job to Em, and but that’s just about precisely what he did.
And whereas his intentions could have been noble, particularly within the face of her simply proving precisely why she’s the suitable particular person for the job, it was by no means his place to vow one thing like that to her.
It in the end gained’t be as much as him, and it’ll be heartbreaking if the job doesn’t go to her and he or she’s handed over for another person the Chief owes a favor to.
I’m nonetheless not offered on Sonny using off into the sundown, and I’m extra satisfied than ever that his prematurely telling Em will come again to doubtlessly chew them each within the behind.
Elsewhere throughout this enjoyable hour, we proceed to get the Kainalu and Hina roommates period, and the partitions are slowly being peeled again. These two have far more in widespread than they’d wish to admit, and you’ll inform that Kainalu’s making an attempt.
You possibly can nonetheless see shades of the conceited child on the seashore throughout Rescue: HI-Surf Season 1 Episode 1, who requested his daddy to assist make his dream come true. However he’s getting additional and additional away from that.
He and Hina make a stunning little duo after they permit themselves to neglect about all the pieces and revel in one another’s firm.
Extra of that, please! And provides us extra of their roommate shenanigans, please, and thanks.
Further Rescue Notes
- Laka was making an attempt SO onerous, and one miscommunication ruined it with Jenn. That’s her loss, actually. Nonetheless, Laka might have been a bit extra forceful with the lady on the seashore.
- Julie not even making an attempt to take heed to Will speak about his day. They usually need individuals to not root for Will and Em?
There’s a lot to debate after this one, and we solely have yet one more hour earlier than they break till subsequent yr.
