Vapors (seaQuest DSV episode)

"Vapors" was the fifth episode of "seaQuest DSV"`s second season. It was originally shown on October 9, 1994.

Quick Overview: While on shore leave, Captain Bridger and Dr. Smith struggle with a possible romance after Piccolo inadvertently starts rumours about them in the maglev. Meanwhile, Henderson and O'Neill go out on a date, while Ford, Brody and Ortiz try to find female companionship. On their shore leave, Piccolo, Lucas and Dagwood respond to Piccolo's father's plea for help.

Plot

When "seaQuest" returns to New Cape Quest for shore leave, the crew disembark on various adventures. When Piccolo's father claims his estranged wife Marie is taking a mysterious drug, Tony, Lucas, and Dagwood are shocked to find that the drug is reducing Marie's apparent age making her look younger.

After showing Wendy his special project in the ship's hydroponics lab, Bridger realizes that he's become infatuated with the good doctor. Wendy soon finds that she too is becoming attracted to the captain. Matters are complicated further when Piccolo jumps out of the pool in the lab and sees the two of them holding each other, which he then whispers to Commander Ford, Brody, Lucas, and Ortiz in the maglev.

On their shore leave, Ford, Brody, and Ortiz cruise around the surrounding waters in a motorboat looking for women. Frustrated with his colleagues' picky tastes in women, Ortiz abandons Ford and Brody and hooks up with a group of women on a nearby beach, much to their chagrin.

Meanwhile, O'Neill and Henderson spend a day together going to various places such as a museum and an interactive version of Key Largo. While Henderson enjoys her time, O'Neill finds that he's too concerned about being spoted by other crewmembers with another officer on the ship.

The crew's shore leave culminates at Captain Bridger's house where he throws a barbecue for his officers. Piccolo is able to convince his mother not to take anymore of the drug as he discovers it to be chemically destroying her body, Ford and Brody discover Ortiz sailing by on a yacht with a bevy of beautiful women, O'Neill and Henderson reconcile and attend the party together, even though Ford chides O'Neill by playing the wedding march on the piano, and Wendy decides to pursue a relationship with Bridger and stay aboard "seaQuest", having originally thought that she would have to transfer off the boat and be unable to maintain a relationship with the ship's captain.

Background

*Dr. Smith's photograph of her (younger) mother has the UEO flag pictured behind her. This is highly unlikely as the UEO had not been created until 2018.
*Captain Bridger seems to forget his relationship with Dr. Kristin Westphalen from the first season.
*In the scene when Piccolo starts playing the piano, Lucas comes up, takes off his life-jacket and leans on the piano. After a cut to Bridger and Smith talking, Lucas is shown leaning on the piano, but with the life-jacket back on again.

Quotes

Darwin: No money, no fish?
Lucas: Yeah, right, exactly.
Darwin: That sucks.

Lucas: You can love your father and not like him.

Captain Bridger: You woke me up to the simple fact that I'm alive.

Lucas: I heard that you're probably not going to leave.
Dr. Smith: (sighs) No, I'm not going to leave.
Lucas: (relieved smile) That's good.
