PlotEdit

Petunia and Handy are on a lovely "Tunnel of Love" ride, until Petunia notices some floating logs on the water stream. Later, Handy looks at a swan ride on the ground nearby, already sliced in half. None of the couple know what's going on until Handy got sliced by a saw on a sawmill right on their path, while Petunia can only scream in horror.

After the ending tag is shown, a sliced Petunia is thrown into the already-sliced logs.

Ending TagEdit

• I think we should split up!

DeathsEdit

• Handy and Petunia (death offscreen) got sliced in half by the saw.

GoofsEdit

• Petunia's bones weren't visible when she got sliced in half, just her organs.
• Despite that her whole body was sliced in half, the insides of Petunia's tail were not seen (looking as if she has two tails).

TriviaEdit

• This is the second episode to show Petunia's relationship with Handy, the first was I Nub You. Though it is debatably also shown in House Warming, where Petunia hugs Handy for building her a treehouse.
• This is the first Love Bites short where both the male and female protagonists die.
• The sliced swan ride on the ground looks empty, as no remains are shown. It's possible that the couple who rode on that swan ride saved themselves from the sawmill or the ride is already empty from the start.
• For some reason, Petunia didn't jump off the boat when she had the perfect chance.
• This the second Love Bites episode to star Petunia, since I Heart U.
• This is Handy's first death which did not take place in a regular episode.
• Handy and Petunia's death is similar to The Mole's death in Don't Yank My Chain. Additionally Handy and The Mole also starred in that episode, but with Handy surviving before being killed by the saw.
