The story so far
Everything you need before watchingRoz has just claimed the last gosling when Fink the fox appears, calling himself a predator and local goose expert. He swears he will not eat the chick, then instantly takes it back. He coaches eating and swimming, then delivers the island rule: kindness is not a survival skill. Roz answers that she terminated the gosling's family. The scene is funny, sharp, and the start of their odd alliance.
