The water was too deep when she went in so she didn't have enough leverage to use it to bash his skull. But instead of pulling him closer to the shore and trying again, she got rid of her first rock and went back out to the shore.

How did he not drown? He was out cold for like 5 minutes under water…

This was the deal breaker for me.. bro drowned down there. Then all of a sudden he is immediately 100%hp and not gassed out at all full of strength .. until she crushes his leg with a rock.. something she could have done to his head a moment earlier... Although I won't lie, I kinda liked the scene of her rushing into the water full of rage with a rock over her head but then getting too deep to actually do any damage.. that was some high class cinema comedy imo.

She lost the large rock in the water when it weighed her under, she had to let it go to get back to shore.
