During training to save a drowning person, Senzaki uses a different method which Ikezawa asks why he did that. After listening to Senzaki's reasoning, Ikezawa praises him which makes him very happy. Shimokawa is glad that the relationship between them is improving.
One day, Bessho brings Senzaki and his buddy, Nagashima to a diving school to be the instructors for the day which make them very excited since there are lots of pretty girls around. At the same time, Ikezawa is at the hospital where he is told by the doctor that he has an eye-related ailment which will hamper his work as a diver.
Bessho, Nagashima and Senzaki go to Ocean's for drinks when Bessho suddenly announces that he is quiting to be a diving instructor instead. Nagashima gets agitated at this announcement. At this time, Kanna happens to come and meet Senzaki who explains to her about how their buddy system works and his relationship with Ikezawa.
Senzaki returns to Nagare and talks about Bessho's resignation with Ikezawa who also tells him that he's quiting. Senzaki thinks that Ikezawa has plans to return to the elite team but the latter says that he is transferring to another department.
Shimokawa goes to Bessho to ask about his reason for quiting and he says that he is losing confidence in his abilities. He doesn't want to wait till there are casualties before quiting thus Shimokawa is unable to persuade him to change his mind.
On the family day where Nagare is opened for visiting by the crew's family and friends, Kanna and Ikezawa's wife, Naoko also come to join in the fun. However, the sudden recall of Nagare to join in the rescue operation makes the family members worry. Kanna stays with Naoko at the harbour to wait for the return of Nagare. Naoko is very worried about her husband and keeps grabbing Kanna's hand for comfort.
At sea, the rescue operation experiences problems when the sunk ship overturns underwater thus trapping the divers. Bessho ends up injured as a result. When Nagare finally returns to the harbour, Naoko and Kanna heave a sigh of relief at seeing that Ikezawa and Senzaki are fine.
Senzaki comes to Bessho's ward and overhears his conversation with Nagashima. Bessho says that he has problems controlling his rashness during rescue operations and does not want to get Nagashima into trouble.
Ikezawa returns to Nagare and meets Katsuta who tells him to reconsider staying in Nagare instead of quiting.
Senzaki and Kanna are at Ocean's when Ikezawa comes and deliberately antagonises Senzaki. They end up having a competition doing pull-ups where Senzaki ends up losing. As such, Ikezawa promises to stay on in Nagare to teach Senzaki and tells Shimokawa that he will stay for about 6 months but will leave immediately if his condition gets worse.

The feeling of waiting for your loved ones to return is not good at all. Seeing how Naoko and Kanna worry while waiting makes you realise how difficult it is to cope with such worries on a daily basis. And this is probably going to make Kanna lose confidence in herself as to whether she can withstand such stress and worries in future as seen in the next episode's trailer.
One thing which I cannot comprehend is that Ikezawa faces possible blindness if he continues to dive and yet he continues to put his eyesight at risk? I know it will be weird if they leave him out of the story at this stage but it just doesn't seem right for the millitary to allow someone with a health condition hampering his work to stay on in the current position.
That pull-up competition between Ikezawa and Senzaki is quite dramatic and too long but if you are in it for the visual aspect i.e. the muscles and nice bodies , it should be enjoyable to look at.
