One of the crew has the bright idea to try and woo some of the nurses on shore, but the men ignore their convenient vantage point for spying until the nurses spy the secret and promptly walk off the ship. Even the doctor only doctors scotch so well.

Meanwhile, Mr. Roberts keeps trying to transfer, but the captain continues to sabotage his plans. Can the unlikely duo reach a compromise?
