Scott and Hooch babysit a diplomat’s daughter and wind up saving the Olympic Committee.
As you can tell from the title this episode is a reference to the 2013 film ‘A Good Day To Die Hard’ but it pays homage to the original film of this franchise Die Hard with its overt references to it. the plot itself sees Scott (Josh Peck) as the only one who happened to escape the hostage situation because he was asked to babysit the daughter of one of the committed members. So no being accounted for when the attack happens allows him to take the terrors out one by with the help of Hooch.
(Well I’m getting ahead of myself let go back to the begging of this episode, first, I would like to issue a Spoiler Warning)
The Olympic Committee is in town for a couple of days, and with chatter about threats, the Marshals will be helping the SFPD with security. The rumored attack was said to happen at City hall, the A-team/T-squad was comprised of Trent Havelock (Matt Hamilton) and his loyal flunkies would secure City Hall and stop any would-be attackers. While the B-team of Baxter (Carra Patterson), Xavier (Brandon Jay McLaren), Scott, and Hooch were task with stay back at the hotel.
While performing the sweep of the hotel prior to moving to City Hall Hooch make a commotion when pushing a lunch table into the hotel’s water fountain to get a ribeye steak, this action attracts the attention of Kaya (Grace Sunar), the daughter of the head of the International Olympic Committee. Turner and Hooch are then assigned to babysit Kaya after she takes a liking to Hooch.

While they’re engaged in a tea party, a team of Russian criminals invade the hotel they are in and take several people hostage, including Baxter and Xavier, with the intent to abduct Kaya for ransom. It is up to Scott to protect Kaya and apprehend the criminals.
This concept sets up the referrance to Die Hard which was mentioned earlier including bloody footprints, a guest appearance by Reginald VelJohnson, and Turner saying “Yippee, Kaya’s in trouble, Hooch”. As Turner does save the day thanks to Hooch giving the mastermind of the attack kissy face it is bittersweet to see Trent take all the credit seeing as he was at City Hall during the attack.
This episode was a classic story where our hero gets placed into a mission of some sort that completely goes against what they want because it is looked at as degrading and their talents should be used else were just to ultimately being the real hero in the end.
