Skin Deep - S1-E6

Trivia: The episode is dedicated to the memory of camera technician Robert Van Der Kar who died in the movie. He died in the crash of the N58243 helicopter shown in this episode. Footage of that helicopter will be seen after this episode for many other episodes and even in later seasons, generally for panoramic shots. It's instantly recognizable because of the skids with flotation gear.
