Plot Overview

It has been a week since the castaways have been shipwrecked. They are attempting to adjust to their new surroundings. After a sudden rain shower, where the passengers were soaking wet, the Howell's provide the others with some clothing that were not wet. They discuss building a communal hut. After only one night, where they all have an argument, they each decide to build their own hut. The Skipper thinks they're making a mistake and that they should all work together. This fact is proven so when each of their huts collapses, thanks to Gilligan barely touching each castaways. Adding to this, there is a report of a hurricane fast approaching their island. The castaways promptly rebuild a communal hut. They take shelter after the hurricane begins. After a while, the hurricane stops. The hut remains in tact but ends up in the lagoon. After some time passes, the castways are back to building their own huts.

Notes
