Things got spicy on Rescue: HI-Surf Season 1 Episode 9, as Will and Em engaged in a full-blown affair, Laka’s wild ways caught up to him, and the roommate situation between Hina and Kainalu just got a whole lot more complicated. It makes for an interesting mini hiatus, as the show is poised to break before returning in the new year, leaving all the main characters in precarious positions. This leaves the biggest question now: where do things go from here? Fresh off their impromptu kiss to close out Rescue: HI-Surf Season 1 Episode 8 , Will and Em were still very much engaging in a physical affair, and they weren’t doing much to hide it.

From the looks that somehow got even longer while on the clock and their little ruined waterfall run, the two were fully committed to hooking up, but there was almost zero talking about anything. It didn’t seem like either of them was feeling particularly guilty or anything throughout much of the hour; they were just high off each other and their rekindling. And that’s an interesting development because A LOT needs to be discussed.

Will is still very much engaged, and Em still has a boyfriend, yet they’re content to act as if none of that exists now. But how long will that truly last? There’s also the whole ‘Em-may-be-captain-soon’ and how that will affect all her relationships, none more so than hers with Will. Rescue: HI-Surf has dedicated itself to slowly rolling out everyone’s personal business, and it’s impressive that.
