Welcome back to the show that Matt Roush called "the worst show of the century"! Are you excited? Well, what if I told you that the show starts this week with Michael creeping up on KITT while obnoxious swooshy music emphasizes every unnecessary camera move? Yeah, I thought that'd get your attention. Unfortunately, it's just a game of squirt guns (in the extremely high-tech sterile lab!), in which KITT provides Michael with reconnaissance so he can get the drop on Billy. But Billy has enlisted the help of one of the laser-cleaning robots (creepily named Lisa), so he has Michael cold. Until KITT rolls down his windows so they can shoot at each other through the very expensive car. Yeah. That happened.
Finally, Sarah shows up to put a stop to the shenanigans. And Alex also yells at them. It's time for a plot! There's something about terrorism and weapons systems smuggling, which seems like it's happened before on this show. But instead of Michael having to infiltrate a drag-racing gang, now he's going to have to go down to Baja and pretend to be a surfer. I'm saving you a lot of nonsense about RFID chips here. Anyway, Michael has some kind of hang-up about water, which Sarah thinks is because of a bully named Lilly Mulraney in grade school.
Michael wants an agent to go with him who knows how to surf. The first name he throws out there is on a job in Washington D.C. (so they have other operatives? I'd wondered about that, you know, because of the way they keep assigning Michael and KITT to jobs that don't seem to actually require a supercar), but then Zoe notices that the surf footage on the Big Screen features, as she puts it, "sick swells". See, I told you she was an adrenaline junkie. Give her half a chance, and she'll be slamming a Dew while riding a unicycle out the back of a helicopter. Or something. So Zoe's going on the mission! Sarah's worried about this and tries to convince Alex that Zoe is too wacky to go on an undercover mission. But she surfs and speaks Spanish, says Alex, and that's all they need. Alex tells Michael and Zoe that they'll be Devin and Bonnie, a honeymooning couple. It looked to me like he was making that up on the fly, which doesn't seem like the best way to establish a paper trail. Don't the fake documents require a little time to get put together, especially if you're going to a different country?
