Sea of Love

Sea of Love is the second of the Love Bites shorts.

Plot
Russell and Giggles are sitting, cuddling each other on a boat while watching the sunset. As the water clears, Russell sees they are floating over a reef with many beautiful flowers on it. He dives into the water and starts collecting flowers for Giggles, but as he does he grabs the lantern of an anglerfish. At first confused at the menacing beast, Russell laughs when he sees the fish is harmless, but it tears the skin off his face. Russell releases the other flowers and screams underwater, causing him to drown offscreen due to his torn off face skin.

Ending Tag

 * I think we should sea otter people!

As Giggles waits patiently on the boat, the underwater flowers Russell picked float up to the surface. Fascinated, she grabs the flowers. However, one of the "flowers" is the anglerfish's lantern. Giggles smiles at it. The anglerfish growls at her, and it bites the skin off of Giggles face, making Giggles scream in pain.

Deaths

 * Russell drowns (or gets eaten) after getting his face torn off by the anglerfish. (Writer Warren Graff confirmed his death).

Injuries

 * 1) Russell's face is ripped off by the anglerfish (it is assumed the lack of skin around his mouth caused him to drown).
 * 2) Giggles' face is also ripped off by the anglerfish.

Goofs

 * 1) When Russell stands on the rim of the boat, his tail is missing.
 * 2) It is not possible to find an anglerfish in shallow water, as they live in the oceanic zone (much deeper water).

Trivia

 * This is the first Love Bite with deaths.
 * This episode reveals that Russell indeed wears his eye patch because he is missing an eye, not merely to fit in with his pirate image.
 * The episode name may be a reference to the Phil Phillips and George Khoury song of the same name.
 * When the anglerfish tears off Giggles' face, the tear is heart-shaped.
 * This is the first Love Bites episode where the male protagonist has an injury/death.
 * This also the first and only Love Bite that only the male character die.
 * Russell's death is similar to his death in Something Fishy.
 * This would make Russell and Fliqpy the only characters to be killed by having their faces ripped off, although the Fliqpy in Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II) was imaginary and on dry land.
