Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Johnny and Carmen’s romance flies high while Daniel and Amanda are rattled by Terry’s schemes. The teens’ feuds spill over at the waterpark.
Our Take
A breezy midseason palette cleanser that mostly works because it lets Johnny and Carmen’s relationship breathe without forcing drama into it. The waterpark fights are goofy fun, though the teen rivalry stuff is starting to feel like retreads. Terry’s manipulation of Daniel and Amanda lands the hardest, giving the hour its few real stakes.
