A large fruit bat died of natural causes near the camp. Most campmates were sad. Delia suggested a funeral. Marty suggested eating it (vetoed). Professor Finch, however, decided to “preserve it for science.” Using only spiderwebs (as thread), sharpened twigs (as needles), and his own tears (as adhesive), he created a surprisingly lifelike bat effigy.

Unlike later seasons that sometimes feel manufactured for drama, the relationships here felt raw and unscripted.
