The Line Tender

That night, Fiona throws rocks at Lucy’s window just like Fred used to do. She tells Lucy that she’s like a sister to her and that if she wants to talk about Fred instead of writing postcards to him, Fiona is always ready to listen. She gives Lucy a new silver chain to replace the dental floss Lucy was using to wear the mermaid pendant.

The next morning, Sookie calls Lucy and Tom because another shark has washed up on the beach and the biologists are going to cut it open to do a necropsy. Sookie invites Lucy to come watch. At first, Tom doesn’t think he can go because of his cast, but Lucy ties a garbage bag around it to keep it dry and tells him to bring his camera. As they’re leaving for the beach, Lucy also invites Mr. Patterson to come along.

At the beach, Dr. Robin invites Lucy to get close to the shark so that she can sketch while Dr. Robin and the other biologists do the necropsy. Dr. Robin shows Lucy the shark’s different organs, including the shark’s uterus, which has two developing pups inside.
