Photographers want to use Betty or Veronica's swimsuit photo on the cover of Sportsman magazine. Veronica gets her father to use his influence to have Betty hired as a lifeguard, so Veronica would be the only choice. Later Veronica falls off a jet ski and has to be rescued by Betty, leading to an unexpected cover photo for the magazine.
