## Summary

*The following is a summary written for this wiki. It only hits the major points of the episode and, as such, should not be used as a substitute for listening to the episode as intended by the creators.*
Lucy wakes Ed up at 2AM when she hears something outside near the back door. Ed, annoyed at being woken up, crassly assures Lucy it's nothing to be concerned with. Lucy persists and Ed drags her pantsless self, to Lucy's embarassment, out of bed and into the kitchen. She grabs a wooden spoon and pan and walks outside, banging them together loudly to scare off whatever is outside. She goes back to bed, leaving Lucy to compose herself.

The next morning, Ed heads outside to those breakfast scraps into the compost bin when William Shakespeare draws her attention to a large leg nearby whose middle paw pad is the size of her hand. She takes it inside to make a log.

Ed takes the leg to her labs and begins her examination and log. While manipulating the leg, Ed unsheathes the creature's dewclaw which hooks and buries itself into her forearm. Upon examining the would, in her panic, she starts to realize that she isn't healing like usual. It's here that Lucy walks in and gets quite the shock as she sees Ed bleeding out onto the floor and a giant animal leg on the table. Lucy goes to call an ambulance but Ed stops her, assuring her she'll be fine. Ed then convinces her to hold down the leg so she can get the claw out of her arm. After removal, Lucy asks if they should have removed the claw since it was stemming the bloodflow. Ed, realizing she's still bleeding suggests maybe she does need that ambulance after all. Lucy calls while Ed makes a tourniquet.

At the hospital, Ed gets stitches and painkillers. After some back and forth with Lucy, including counting their blessings that Ed didn't die, Dr. Stone enters and gives her her aftercare instructions and discharges her. Lucy then notices the tattoo of wings on Ed's back.

Ed ends the episode off with a voice log about how stitches and blood loss are the worst and how she doesn't know if she could have actually died this day. But knowing there is something that could kill her makes her all the more excited to stay in Jerusalem and study whatever is going on and maybe she'll get an answer to her immortality. She signs off saying that, even if this is the thing that finally kills her, even that would be pretty cool.

## Notable Events

* Molly Dane's first appearance.
* Dr. Russell Stone's first appearance.
* Ed suffers a serious injury for the first time in her life.
	+ Said injury leaves Ed with a scar on her arm that remains throughout the series.

* The arm that Ed finds belongs to the Lion that patrols around the crater with Lucy's sword.
* Lucy takes time to admire Ed's tattoo of a pair wings on her back, noting they are anatomically correct. Ed assumes she knows this because she researched for a character in her book and not because she actually has wings of her own.
* Ed alludes to her suicidal past when saying that if the leg she found could have killed her, then her teenage self would be "excited for all the wrong reasons."

## Quotes

**“***The subject is a large, heavily muscled leg that appears to be covered in short, coarse, medium brown fur. There are several deep gashes that go almost entirely to the muscular tissue, and the fur itself would lead me to hypothesize that this is in fact a mammal. It's ever so slightly bent; much too short for the creature it belongs to to be bipedal, considering the sheer size of the appendage. It ends with what is very, very obviously a paw, and the center pad is the size of my hand, which for reference measures about six-by-seven inches at its widest and tallest points respectively. It begins relatively thick at the top, and then tapers down to the paw. The triceps brachii, medial head, protrudes in a decidedly feline way, but I honestly can’t think of any existing cat species that grow to be this large. There are four toes, each with a curved, smooth claw, the longest of which is about three inches long.***”**
— **Dr. Edison Tucker****, describing the detached leg.**
