Warning: Spoilers
Two plots. In one Cort starts by trying to get a dog into danger so he can get to know a lady. Then forgets the lady when he thinks he sees an old friend. Who died a year ago. This opening brings us back to annoying self centred Cort. Which is not fun. Cort gets together with old friend's wife and finds she has a secret.

Not a terrible plotline ultimately because it tries to give him a moral dilemma. He does have chemistry with the wife also. But it's people doing things because the plot requires it.

In other plot: Mitch Garner and Craig go to the mountains. Mitch crashes his hang glider. More things go wrong and Craig is stranded with him as well. Can Garner get help? Can the two stranded friends survive?

This suffers from not enough location work at points and some studio bound bits. We do get some locations later in it though. It does allow for Garner to wear trousers for once and do something a little different. But it doesn't get any character moments in, which is a bit of a wasted opportunity. The rest of the rescue is fine and once again we get Newmie with dialogue. So there is that. Not what it could be though.

No Gina this week. Hobie is on the credits but I didn't spot him. Shauni pops up midway through and doesn't whine. So there's that too.

Not bad and better than some other seven out of ten ones. But could be better.
