[[Mayor Luskey]] and [[Mrs Luskey|his wife]] are enjoying a trip in the Mayor's boat, the ''[[Floating Xanadu]]'', when Luskey realizes they're near the coast but he can't see the lighthouse.

Synopsis
[edit]
Mayor Luskey and his wife are enjoying a trip in the Mayor's boat, the Floating Xanadu, when Luskey realizes they're near the coast but he can't see the lighthouse. Elsewhere, the Burnses and the Greenes are having a barbecue and basketball game. Luskey contacts Chief Burns to tell him to turn on the light. While Dani and Blades rescue the mayor, Doc Greene puzzles over why the automatic sensors didn't pick up the mayor's ship and turn the lighthouse on. Safely back on land, Luskey has it out with Greene, and explains that as tomorrow is the Miss Griffin Rock competition, he wants the lighthouse back in working order.
The next morning, Chief Burns arrives at the breakfast table with a fishing rod—it's time for their annual fishing trip. Dani, Kade and Graham all give excuses, but Cody is keen and suggests they bring the Rescue Bots along as well. The Darby Ava vessel proves capable of carrying the four bots without sinking, and Burns makes Blades first mate. Cody instructs the Bots on the finer points of fishing, as they approach Doc Greene's floating research lab, where Greene has discovered that the lighthouse's underwater electro-magnetic sensors have been destroyed. He gives Cody a hi-tech fishing line that uses electro-magnetic bait.
Back at the fire station, the others do dishes and briefly wonder if they did the right thing in dipping out on the fishing trip.
Cody, Charlie and the Bots start fishing, but after Heatwave loses his fishing rod, he tries using Greene's hi-tech version. He quickly gets a bite, which to their surprise turns out to be a gigantic shark. It rams the ship, knocking Heatwave overboard, and as he floats in the water, the mechanical shark attacks him. As he wrestles with it, it uses lasers to destroy the fishing rod. The other Rescue Bots jump into the water, but can't do much more than watch as the shark knocks Heatwave loose by bashing him against rocks. Burns heads back to Doc Greene's lab.
On the beach, the Miss Griffin Rock pageant is in full swing, but as the mayor's wife is about to announce the finalists, the robot shark appears offshore, sparking a panic. Surprised, Greene reports his sensors aren't picking up anything shark-sized, but soon gets a visit from the shark himself. The shark destroys the doc's underwater sensor, and he shows the Burnses the footage of the shark he's gathered. Cody and Greene realize the shark's attacking electro-magnetics.
