TESSA MEETS THE IN-LAWS ON "NORTH SHORE" THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, ON FOX

It's time for the annual Seau family barbecue, and this year, Frankie brings Tessa home to meet the family and most importantly, Mom. But Tessa has bigger problems when Frankie's cousin Marvin recognizes her as the girl who stole his wallet when he was drunk at the Regal Hawaiian before she started working at the Grand Waimea. At the hotel, Tommy gets a bad review and Nicole has to ask him to change the menu. When he refuses, their argument turns more personal and he fires himself, much to Alex's dismay. As Alex tries to get him to come back, Nicole and Tommy's relationship starts to heat up. Meanwhile, Jason learns that Vincent's drug-running days aren't over, and takes drastic measures. Chris accidentally leaves a diver in the ocean when another diver gets the bends and has to be treated immediately. He finds the diver, but the man and his wife threaten to sue the hotel anyway. Chris believes it's a scam and puts himself in physical danger to prove it. Alex appreciates the gesture and their bond grows on the NORTH SHORE episode "Shark" Thursday, Jan. 6 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (NSH-119) (TV-14 S, V)
