A midshipman of the Naval Academy becomes lost overboard from a sailboat in a storm during a practice exercise in the Chesapeake Bay; Mac investigates. The coach, a commander, goes to a pretrial hearing on a charge of dereliction of duty; Mac prosecutes, and Sturgis defends. Emotions run high. Mike is a member of the sailing team; he and a shipmate figure out the cause of the loss overboard. Harm surrenders his guardianship of Mattie, but he promises to continue to see her and stay in touch with her; when Mattie moves out, he gives her a coveted and significant memento. By the initiative of the general, he and Mac reach an understanding about the past.—DocRushing
