After Brody gathers the supplies for the "Beaches Closed" he meets up with Hendricks who warns him that some boy scouts have started their mile swim for their merit badge. Chief Brody then commandeers the truck from Hendricks to go warn them, while instructing Hendricks to take the supplies to the station and let Polly do the printing, much to his annoyance.

Hendricks is later seen with Vaughn, the medical examiner and some selectman when Vaughn and the examiner insist that the death was the result of a boating accident.
