    Having a wedding on a boat seems like a bad idea from the start.

    I wish they wouldn’t yell at each other in front of Alex.

    Could warp her emotional development.

    I’m sure eventually a friendly dolphin will bring them to safety.

    Well, JJ has a chance of getting a rope from her daughter. The loser can swim ashore.

    Nope! Rescue has NOT been mentioned, much less “talked” about.

    The water appears to be only about 4 feet deep. At least they are wearing life jackets.

    Uncharacteristically snarky of our Michael, though not without some justification…

    Zeke is still dry! That’s a tear, everyone has feelings, man.

    They appear to be standing in the water meaning they can simply walk out of it.

    Actually, being on the verge of drowning, losing a $200,000 commission and likely having to pay for an uninsured boat probably does beat out the pain of accidentally annoying your ex at his wedding reception.

    “Funny” coincidence and story, but I don’t think Mike has any say in who gets rescued and who gets left behind. That decision is usually left to the boat’s captain and implemented by the crew. And unless a rescue is actively in progress, the ferry would have left the scene quickly. I don’t think I can ever recall having a conversation with someone in the water from the deck of a commercial vessel underway.

    My suspension of plot line disbelief is getting pretty thin. I still haven’t quite accepted that Zeke got that thing onto a boat (much less getting the boat in the first place). But then again I haven’t accepted that Donald Trump got elected president, so stranger things have happened…

    Mike, the day is only ruined if you let it be.

    Honestly, if the kiddo wasn’t right there, I’d say leave them for the coast guard. Or the fish.

    Look at Alex’s face! It’s amazing she survived the trauma of her parent’s dysfunctional relationship and turned out so well!
