It is the end of the 2005 King Crab fishing season, which ends on a high note for all of the ships in general and for some of them even more so, for some many reasons.
This episode kicks off right where the other one ended up, with the Aleutian Ballad being slammed by a huge rouge wave that hit the ship on her side. All of the chaos that was caused by the sudden hit of the wave and the sense of danger that the crew of that ship must of felt when they found out that they were tilted on their right side and completely helpless in these rough waters. The fear that they must of felt if another one of these waves hit them in the state that they were in without anyway to protect themselves from the force of another wave. The sense of relief that they all felt when the ship righted itself and that Jerry was able to restart the engines again, having a least a fighting chance to get out of that hairy situation that she found herself in. While the ship did receive some damage and some injuries to the crew, most of it wasn't serious and that the ship was able to get back to home port, safely with all of her crew still onboard the vessel.
While, what happen to that ship was scary thing and could of gone the other way, it was good to see that nobody on that ship, despite the sheer force that ship was subjective to, received any type of serious injury from the assault.
The other thing that was a highlight in this episode and makes in a classic episode, are the funny practical jokes that both the crews of the Northwestern and the Cornelia Marie played on each other. Which started with Sig telling his crew to pull up one of the pods that belongs to the Cornelia Marie, first seal the thing shut, and to top it off with a bunch of women clothes hanging on the thing as well. I love how to crews of the Cornelia Marie and the Northwestern reacted to what happen. With the Cornelia Marie not totally get bent out of shape with it and taking it in strive, that it was a practical joke that was played on them by another ship that was out there, which Phil finds out was the Northwestern and sets the stage for another practical joke that will be played on the Northwestern by the Cornelia Marie, which turns out to be the better out of the two. For his crew sticks a pile on the rope, and inside the pod stick a week worth of trash, that when its hit's the water goes all over the place inside of the pod. Like with the crew of the Cornelia Marie, the crew of the Northwestern didn't get bent out shape with this, and in fact that Sig and his crew agree that what Phil did was the better out of the two, in fact it was something that he had never seen before.
I like seeing this, because it shows that no matter what type of job that a person had, rather it be the safest job in the world or the most dangerous job in the world, a person will find a way to play practical jokes on each other no matter what.
Another good thing is the fact that all of the featured ships got their quotas, despite the mechanical failures of some ships experienced, that all of the ships return to port safely and none of them lost any of their men. A good sign for the next half of the series, the Snow Crab fishing season.moreless

The Aleutian Ballad did survive the impact of the rouge wave, but not completely intact. For on the deck of the ship she received a 20 foot gash and the captain's daughter, Nicole got a badly bruised elbow after being tossed into one of galley's doors, which also got damaged as well.
