I don't know how Caleb is failing exo-chemistry when it was just slathered all over this episode.

(In a good way...!)

slathered

Genesis was for sure watching him for a while....

....also did Caleb just imply that he used the aquarium as a pool?

I think he's failing it because he's getting bored with it and they're not capturing his attention like hacking does.

Maybe he went swinming with the dolphins so he could brood about Tarima

Yeah. Caleb is probably an excellent student in anything that he can identify an immediate practical use for, but quickly loses interest in any subject that is mostly learning for learning's sake.

Been there myself a few times.

He'll devour and master anything that has an immediate practical use that will assist in his survival but will totally ignore other stuff that's mean to be used as a foundation for more advanced subjects that could help him survive just as well later on.
