Episode Information[]
April's mother and her 12-year-old younger brother, Charlie, arrive for a visit where Mitch and Hobie try to make the best of the weekend with Charlie who is revealed to be dying from a rare form of cancer that April refuses to accept. Meanwhile, Hobie and a friend of his want to compete with Mitch and Newman, as well as Cody and J.D., in the annual lifeguard row-boat race to prove themselves.
Trivia[]
- Because of the real Charlie "Charlie Everett Hays", researchers found the genetic marker for medullary thyroid cancer, a rare disease found. In the future, early detection of this form of cancer should prevent children from dying.
- This is the only episode where we see April's family.
