Sea of Love

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

Starring Roles

 * Giggles
 * Russell

Plot
Russell and Giggles sit in Russell's boat, watching the sun set. 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, but as he does he grabs the lantern of an anglerfish. At first scared of the menacing beast, Russell laughs when he sees the fish is harmless, but it tears the skin off his face. Giggles waits in the boat when the flowers gathered earlier float to the surface of the water, where she picks them up. She also picks up the anglerfish by its lantern and smiles at it, before it bites the skin off her face.

Deaths

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

Injuries

 * 2) Giggles' face is also ripped of by the anglerfish.

Goofs

 * 1) When Russel stands up to retrieve flowers for Giggles his tail disapears


 * 1) It is not possible to find an anglerfish in shallow water, as they live in the oceanic zone (much deeper water).

Trivia

 * 1) 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.
 * 2) The episode name may be a reference to the Phil Phillips and George Khoury song of the same name.
 * 3) When the anglerfish tears off Ariel's face, the tear is heart-shaped.
 * 4) This is the only Love Bites episode where the male protagonist has an injury/death.
