Mitch is not pleased to find his Baywatch staff glued to re-runs of Gilligan's Island at headquarters. He shuts down the TV just as Captain Thorpe arrives. Mitch sends them off on their various assignments. While Eddie is making his way toward a couple of young lovers, he slips and hits his head on the tower ramp.

Things begin to go very odd at this point. When Eddie and Shauni have helped a girl on a wave runner, the scarab won't start, and Eddie and Shauni find themselves stranded on an island. There they meet Gilligan and Mary Ann. They take them back to Baywatch, where they find out that Captain Thorpe has won $ 70 000 000 on a lottery ticket.

Thorpe buys a boat and names the boat the Minnow II. On that boat, they are going to sail out and try to find the rest of Gilligan and Mary Ann's crew members. But the boat ends up in the middle of a storm, and the gang is stranded again. Then a man sings a song and introduces the people: Gilligan, the skipper (Garner), the millionaire (Thorpe), his wife (Eddie), the movie-star (Shauni), the professor (Harvey) and Mary Ann.

Eddie falls for Mary Ann and out of jealousy, Shauni arranges to marry Gilligan. However, the wedding ceremony led by Garner is interrupted by Harvey who has built a boat big enough for two people. Gilligan and Mary Ann get to go.

When Garner asks Eddie to take down some coco-nuts, they fall down on his head and he wakes up in the real world again. It turns out that Thorpe only has won $ 58 on his lottery ticket. When everyone has left headquarters, Mitch is still there watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island.

Visitor	This episode is also famous for containing a brief scene with the impossibly lovely Petra Verkaik, The Most Published Woman in Playboy History. Posted on 2010-08-26 19:12:46 by Visitor
