Remarkably Bright Creatures

Marcellus remembers his tragedy before coming to the aquarium; he encountered a wolf eel in the ocean, who attacked him and chewed off his arm. After Tova leaves, Marcellus goes into the wolf eel tank to retrieve the ring. He carefully keeps his distance from the eels as he takes back the ring and returns to his own tank, exhausted.

Cameron’s van breaks down during his journey. He attempts to replace the damaged part using a video on his phone.

Janice and Barb arrive at Tova’s house with a retirement cake. Janice asks about the cat, and Cat settles next to Barb. Tova and Janice encourage her to take him. Tova enjoys a final evening with her friends. At the aquarium, she thinks about Cameron’s absence and says goodbye to the sea creatures. Marcellus is missing. After Tova leaves her key in Terry’s office, she finds Marcellus on the floor. She quickly fills her mop bucket with water and helps revive him, then helps him into the mop bucket. She sees the class ring he was bringing to her and recognizes the initials as her son’s.
