[ PILOT ]

After the terrible hurricane that passed through, Bailey was on one of her many adventures with the Pogues.

"Hop on in, Ma'am." John B smiles as he slows the boat down by Bailey's dock, she pretends to bow, "Why thank you, Kind Sir." She laughs as she grabs onto JJ's hand and gets into the boat. Bailey finds her seat next to Kie and drinks a beer with her, "Salud!" Kie smiles with her drink in the air, "Salud!" Bailey says as she clinks their drinks.

The group all drank while Pope drove the boat, as he is the most responsible one there. "Bet you can't do this," JJ tells the group, "Let me show you a party trick." He says as he moves to the front of the boat, "Oh no." Bailey laughs. "Hey, Pope - can you go a little faster, please?" JJ asks, "Oh no, I'm movin'." John B shakes his head as he moves behind Pope, "This doesn't work," Pope replies, "We've tried this 6,000 times." He continues while the two girls can't control their laughter. JJ ignored Pope's words, "I got this. It's gonna work!" He yells.

Pope speeds the boat up as JJ stands on the front of the boat putting his beer in front of his face so the wind would direct the beer into his mouth. But in reality, the beer was splashing onto the girls, "Oh, my God, you're getting beer in my hair!" Kie laughs, "Oh, my God." Pope sighs in disappointment, John B turns away as theres beer getting in his face. "All right. All right!" Pope yells, trying to not get beer in his eyes, "You're done!" Pope continues to yell.

Just then, the boat gets caught on something which stops the boat and sends JJ flying off. "Jesus, Pope!" Kie yells, "What the heck?" Bailey asks, holding her head. JJ resurfaces from under the water, "You okay, JJ?" Pope asks as the group recollects themselves, "I think my heels touched the back of my head." JJ responds as he floats, "Bails, Kie, you two okay?" John B asks as he groans, "I'm all right." Kie answers, Bailey nods, "I'm good." She sighs.

"Pope, what did you do?" JJ asks, Pope sighs, "Sandbar, the channel changed." He replies, "No shit." JJ swims back to the boat. "Ugh, this is probably gonna mess this whole place up." John B groans as Kie stretches, "Hey, I saved a beer, though." JJ says, "Good job, JJ." Bailey responds sarcastically as Pope walks to the front of the boat.

"Guys... I think there's a boat down there." Pope stares into the water, Kie and John B were quick to deny that statement, "Shut up." John B says, "No way." Kie joins in. Bailey walks to the front of the boat to stand by Pope. "No, no, guys. I'm serious," Pope says as Bailey stares into the water as well, "There's a boat down there." He points. That's when Kie decides to stand by Bailey and see for herself.

"Holy shit, he's right. Let's go." Kie grabs Bailey's hand and leads her to the center of the boat to take their shorts off as John B takes his shirt off, "You think there's a dead body down there?" Pope franticly asks, "Sure hope not." Bailey answers after jumping into the water with Kie and John B. "Guys, wait up!" Pope yells as he's the last one to jump in the water.
