A Mishnah describes the ways in which someone is liable for damages caused by fire. Rabbi Yitzchak Nafcha gives an aggaditc and halachic interpretation of Shemot 22:5. The daf also shares a halachic inquiry from King David leaving the learner to ask what can be learned from this question?

How do we derive the liability of a borrower for theft and loss? (Verses!) But the obligation to pay comes from logic. But Rav Hamnuna understands the liability of the borrower quite differently.

Bava Metzia 95: The Borrower

Conditions, as set by the guardians - which counters the inherent conditions for each of them, as established in the Torah. Plus, exemptions that allow different terms. Also, the case of borrowing (for example) a cow (for example) together with the owner's services.

Bava Metzia 94: Stipulations on the Torah's Conditions

Three mishnahs on this daf which discuss different laws about Shomrim

Bava Metzia 93: The Shomers

A new mishnah: the rights of the worker to eat - but what if the value of the produce he eats is more than his wages? It's a machloket. Plus, fine-tuning the extent of these rights. Plus, a hidden scroll of Oral Law quoting Isi bar Yehudah. Also, when a worker ears while working, is that food on top of his wages or is he permitted to eat from that which is not his? Plus, the workers isn't always entitled to eat, nor does he have to, even when he's allowed.

Bava Metzia 92: The Cost of a Cucumber

More on muzzling... Can a court enforce a monetary requirement on one who didn't muzzle when it was needed? What other costs come along with the muzzling or lack thereof, in terms of violating the law (and deserving lashes) vs. incurring costs. Plus, mixing of species in many creative, unexpected ways. Also, 2 mishnayot: the rights of the worker who is not using all of his body to work to be able to eat on the job. Plus, the workers' obligation to return lost items to their employers - in the time that they can then eat the produce from the food on the job.
