The kids and their cousins were going from pool to spa last night and ended up knocking off a single tile on the spillover. How would I fix this?

Below are pictures of the spillover and the missing tile, plus the front and back of the piece that came off.

It is interesting that there is no thinset stuck to the back of that tile. That raises questions about how the tiles were set. Unless the timer missed buttering that one tile I would expect you have others loose and only being held together by the grout around it. Expect other tiles to pop off as the grout deteriorates.

A dab of thinset on the wall and on the tile should hold it until you eventually retile the area.
