Favorite Quotes:
* Cam: In my experience people hit people with anything they can pick up and swing.* Sweets: Would it be fair to say that you use work to avoid confronting personal issues?
* April: I mean I believe that all creatures—people, fish dogs—we’re all connected. We all share the same stuff that makes life so beautiful and precious.
Bones: On a quantum level, that’s true. Although the word “stuff” is not accurate.
* Sweets: Fish aren’t actually sentient. There’s a reason people say, “cold as a fish.”

She finds blunt force trauma on the skull. Bones wants all the mud sucked up and sent to the Jeffersonian so it can be filtered. At the lab, Zack gives a run down of all the injuries.
