More corpses than you would expect in one episode. Victoria starts things off with an assassin bug that camouflages itself with the corpses of its prey. Kirk brings more corpses to the table, or mountain as it were with a discussion of sky burials and vultures. Rachel rounds things out by talking about silk production, which, admittedly, ends with millions of tiny corpses. So, yeah. This episode happened.
