Riding on a wooden swan, Petunia and Handy are on a lovely Tunnel of Love ride. All is peaceful until Petunia notices some floating logs on the water stream. Later, Handy sees a swan ride on the ground nearby, sliced in half. Neither of them knows what's going on until Handy gets sliced by a saw on a sawmill right in their path, while Petunia can only scream in horror.
Ending Tag
I think we should split up!
After the ending tag, a sliced Petunia gets thrown onto a pile of already sliced logs.
Deaths
Handy and Petunia (death off-screen) get sliced in half by a giant buzz saw.
Petunia's bones were not visible when she was sawed in half.
The insides of Petunia's tail aren't seen, making it look as if she has two tails.
The saw couldn't have thrown Petunia and her car freshener onto the log pile.
It would be hard for the saw to cut Handy's helmet, or possibly the buzz saw is really sharp.
Trivia
This is the second episode to show Petunia's relationship with Handy, the first is in I Nub You. However, it is possible that this was also shown in House Warming, where Petunia hugs Handy for building her a treehouse.
This is the first (and only) Love Bites short where nobody survives.
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. She might've been shocked at the death of Handy though, making her unable to think of doing so.
This is the second Love Bites episode to star Petunia since I Heart U. Coincidentally, she also dies in both of these shorts.
Despite his low survival rate, this episode marks 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 being able to get away from the saw.
This is the last Love Bites short so far. It is unknown if there will be any more in the future.
