Stoked Season #1

✰ EPISODE #3: BOARD AND CONFUSED – The new employees get stuck with one of the worst things ever, their initiation. Its where the seniors make them do humiliating stuff for a whole day. If the gang is able to endure the stuff, the seniors will take them to an awesome part of the beach known as “The Office.” When the group has to go through initiation so they can surf the Office, they go through massive torture. Meanwhile, Lo finally gets that her Dad’s serious about her working at the resort for the summer. Johnny, Ripper, No Pants Lance and Ty are all surfing at the Office, the perfect breaking point on Sunset Beach where only they know of its location. When they get back they are reminded by their fellow coworker Kelly about Grom initiation, the initiation of the newcomers. After the groms are told what Grom initiation is: Doing what the seniors tell them to do, no matter what, until 6pm. While at first they are reluctant, they are told that their reward, if they make it through the day, will be access to the Office. Lo does not take it seriously though, as she still thinks her situation is temporary, while Reef tries to find it all on his own. When Reef and Wipeout try to find it by following the seniors, they get busted and are hung up in a tree via wedgies. In the Pirate Ship, Kelly, Emma’s supervisor, deliberately spills clam chowder on Emma and tells her once she’s finished cleaning it off, she has to serve the Ridgemounts. Meanwhile, Fin has to clean a room that was seriously trashed. Broseph is let off easy when eh makes a deal with Johnny, 30% off for Johnny at Broseph’s mother’s surf shop and her seafood jambalaya, if Broseph doesn’t have to do the gross things, just as long as the other kids don’t find out. While Emma is serving breakfast to the Ridgemount family, she asks Lo if she is going to punch in for work. However, Lo still thinks her punishment is a joke, but when her Dad sees her he tells her to punch in soon. Lo says she will but when her Dad leaves for a conference call, she says right after Breakfast. Emma tells Lo that Ty is cute, but Kelly overhears this and in front of everyone, tells Emma to propose to him. Taking pity on her, Ty tells Emma that she doesn’t have to, but she reminds him that she can’t refuse. She proposes on one knee, for which Ty elbows George hard for laughing, then offering his hand to help her up, good-naturedly tells her to maybe ask again in ten years. Noticing the hand, she held, he asks if she smelled fish. Emma runs off horrified and humiliated, while Lo glares at Kelly for enjoying the whole scene. Emma states that was the most embarrassing moment of her life. In the meantime, Reef’s supervisors Ripper and Lance are having Reef clean the seniors’ surfboards and say he loves seniors out loud but when he does a real senior shows up and gives Reef a look and moves her eyebrows in a flirting way.

When Ripper comes to see what Johnny has been planning for Broseph, Johnny tells him that Broseph will not want to continue living afterwards. Ripper has the idea of having Broseph wear the old Wipeout suit, which after “Wipeout” threw up inside, has never been washed. When Ripper leaves Broseph tells Johnny that he refuses, but Johnny says he might have to. Broseph says he “might” also have to tell Emma that Johnny has a crush on her. Johnny responds that he’ll tell Ripper that he can’t find it. Lo is golfing at the golf course when her Dad finds her and yells at her to go to work. Reef shows up at Room 441, where Fin is still cleaning, with an atomic wedgie and tells her he was forced to give his supervisors foot massages. He’s had enough and comes up with an idea on how to find the office: He asks to borrow Fin’s key to the Ridgemounts’ Penthouse. Fin refuses and Reef explains that Ty must have some sort of record or a map to it but as he is saying this, Ripper and Lance appear behind him and hear everything. Reef realizes this and is then hauled away. Lo’s bratty younger brother, George, spots Lo from the Lobby in the Gift Shop trying on clothes and saying that sometimes she makes it too easy, he points her out to their Dad. Mr. Ridegmount has finally reached his breaking point and George points out that their father’s eye is twitching. On the beach, Reed is being tortured by his supervisors, forced by Lance toward having to kiss Ripper’s butt. But then he reveals he had thrown the two seniors’ surfboards into the ocean, giving him time to find the Office while they retrieve their boards.

Mr. Ridgemount finally brings Lo to the Dining Room personally and tells Kelly in a calm, but firm voice, that Lo will be working for her immediately, much to Kelly’s pleasure. Mr. Ridgemount gives Kelly his card with his private number and warns Lo that if he gets one call from Kelly, Lo won’t be going on her trip to Europe. Lo gets her new uniform and is photographed by George, which sets her own eye twitching in rage. She is forced to go through Grom initiation, otherwise, Kelly will call Lo’s Dad. Ripper and Lance try to go after their boards, but the water tricycle they are riding on falls apart. The girls meet up at the Staff House and Lo is aggravated after the first day, but Emma assures her they can make it. Broseph comes along and asks about the smell: Emma and Lo had their hair covered with expired Mayonnaise and Fin had to clean seaweed out of a bathtub. They ask him about his day and he claims that Johnny has been hard on him, but he isn’t even dirty to prove it. Kelly, Johnny and Ty come to the front porch and serve them two earthworms and two grasshoppers each. However, since Johnny told Broseph ahead of time, he has a doctor’s note, raising suspicion from the other seniors. Fin finds the challenge of two worms easy as her brothers had already done this to her when she was five. Emma and Lo discover they have a heaping plateful each (no doubt personally prepared by Kelly) and Broseph’s four insects. Ty clearly disapproves of the amount but can’t say anything and they are forced to eat it.

Reef, still looking for the Office, is found by Lance and Ripper, who chase him to the hotel, capture him, shove a snorkel mask and fins on him and throw him in the lobby aquarium to be chased after by Buster the Shark. Meanwhile, the rest of the Groms have to surf while covered in petroleum jelly, which involves a lot of pain, slipping and sliding off the boards. To avoid being eventually eaten by the shark, Reef finally caves in and agrees to do whatever challenges they have. The rest of the challenges include carrying three watermelons each uphill, a spray paint fight (done by the girls), being buried in sand while surrounded by crabs (at which Lo is seen visibly wailing and crying in fear of the crabs), the guys rolled through the Lobby in strollers, swim trunks and baby bonnets and then running through the Lobby with nothing but the bonnets on. Finally, with 17 minutes left, the other seniors and Ty proclaim them to be hardcore and decide they’ve passed, but Kelly demands on last, sickest test for the Groms. In a dumpster, there is a keychain with a surfboard on it, and if they don’t find it in fifteen minutes, they all fail. While most of them finally decide to concede, Emma encourages them to go in for the Office, even Lo, who the shocked Kelly is expecting to let the others down. Lo tells the other Groms that if they find the keychain, it will be worth the added satisfaction of ticking Kelly off. To Kelly’s stunned surprise, Lo is the one to triumph for the Groms and find the keychain and they are able to surf the Office. After a long day of surfing, they sit around the fire to talk about their day. Everyone has figured out by now that Johnny let Broseph off easy; the Groms wonder where he is and are told that the seniors are punishing him by having him wear the old Wipeout suit during his shift.

✰ EPISODE #4: TAKE YOUR KOOK TO WORK DAY – All the Groms know the rule about their sacred surf spot The Office. You don’t bring tourists to The Office. But when Emma meets a handsome guest who’s an awesome surfer, she breaks the rules to get Ty to be nice to her. Meanwhile, Reef gets stuck giving surfing lessons to a grumpy old man. Emma falls for Lo’s older brother, Ty, but can’t get his attention. Prompted by Lo’s advice in making him jealous, she brings a non-local to The Office. Now, everyone hates her. How can she fix things?

This episode opens up with the gang surfing at The Office in the early morning. Fin spots Ty on the beach and Emma tells her and Lo that she thinks there’s more to him. Lo is disgusted by this and Fin tells Emma to stop daydreaming and go surf. However, Emma gets worked and fails to get Ty’s attention. At the Dining Room, Lo isn’t taking a liking to her job and doesn’t do anything, causing Kelly to constantly yell at her. Lo then decides to come up with various plans to get out of work. Meanwhile, Emma is upset that Ty doesn’t’ get her name right and feels unnoticed. Johnny comes along and tries to comfort her and attempts to ask her out to a movie, but an oblivious Emma, not realizing that he asked her out, turns the offer down.

Reef has been assigned to give surfing lessons to an old man, Chester Grizzle. It doesn’t go too well as he’s getting a low guest evaluation mark and the fact that Chester complains a lot about youth these days. Hair, attitude, worth ethic, strength of character and other topics are relayed to Reef. On the beach, Chester has a hard time laying down on the board and then won’t follow along with paddling practice, ordering Reef to move his arms for him. Later on, Emma meets Shep, who is camping in the park with his other friends. Emma decides to use him to make Ty jealous but only ends up making Johnny jealous. Emma decides to show Shep the way to The Office. However, the others are upset about this and refuse to talk to Emma after Shep hogged all the waves and violated the Surf Code by repeatedly cutting the others off and causing them all to wipe out while they are surfing. The next morning, the gang goes to The Office only to find Shep and his two friends there, with their tents set up and all their belongings. They even have Jet Skis parked by the water. Ripper, Lance, Ty and Johnny arrive, wondering what a bunch of kooks are doing at The Office. Ty and Johnny (who correctly points out that the kooks are not locals or hotel employees and thus have no business being at The Office) try to get the kooks to leave, but they refuse to (with Shep even using convoluted logic as his and the other kooks’ justification fir staying). Everything is about to lead into a turf war until Emma stops them, saying there’s plenty of room at the beach to share. This doesn’t go well, however. Lo gets covered in sand while applying sunscreen, Johnny’s sandcastle gets ruined, Broseph’s sandwich is stolen by Shep, Ty’s video camera gets fried by seawater and lemonade is poured on Fin’s head by a big dimwitted kook. All three kooks also hog the waves and wreck the surfing for everyone. When everyone returns to the dorms, everyone refuses to speak to Emma. She asks Ty if he is mad at her, only to respond that he is kind of disappointed.

Reef and Chester are now out on the water, continuing the lesson. The old man eventually gets a frustrated Reef to paddle out and bust some moves, of which Chester dismisses any skill involved. That is the final straw for Reef; Chester can diss anything else about him, but not his surfing! Reef paddles away from the stunned and surprised Chester. Lo’s schemes in getting out of work continues, but she only ends up getting caught by Kelly. She is then finally forced to scrape the gum stuck underneath the tables and mop the kitchen floor. Chester catches up to Reef by the equipment shack and apologizes. He didn’t think today’s youth had any spine, but he finds that Reef is not a pushover. He has won the old man’s hard-earned respect. He will follow any instruction Reef gives and the two march out to the water.

Later on, when Emma returns to her room, she finds out that her bed has been fish-headed and her locker is filled with squid. Fin says she persuaded the perpetrators not to use seaweed for the locker, only for them to agree… and decide to use the squid instead. Emma decides to scare Shep and his friends out of The Office by disguising herself as an angry surf god, complete with a mask. It fails, however, as a wayward wind blows off Emma’s costume and Shep, after finding Emma’s mask, announces that he and the other kooks will remain camping at The Office for the rest of the summer. That night, Emma, feeling terrible about failing to get rid of the kooks from The Office, phones her mom, saying that she ruined everything and she begins crying. Johnny overhears this and feels badly for her.

Reef is still giving surf lessons to Chester. Chester succeeds in surfing but then falls off his board. Reef jumps into the ocean to get Chester and realizes he’s not breathing. He then resorts to CPR. Johnny arrives with First Aid and everything, but Chester finally awakens. Johnny asks if he’s all right, but he’s more than that: He’s great! 😊 Not only did he get to live his surfing dream, he’s alive to boot! 😊 He asks the two how he could repay them both. Johnny then comes up with the idea of bringing Chester to The Office by boat. When Chester arrives at The Office, he complains about how there are young punks everywhere. Johnny and Reef tell the kooks that The Office is perfect for seniors and the Resort is going to start catering to seniors on this beach. Chester then somehow loses his swimming trunks, which scares off Shep and his friends for good. Emma, realizing that Johnny what Johnny has done, thanks him, saying he’s such a good friend and that she doesn’t have to worry about Ty hating her. Johnny feels disappointed by this. This episode end with Chester asking Johnny where his swimming trunks are. Johnny screams in horror, shouting “MY EYES!”
