When the water flow at the camp is disturbed, the teenagers divide by gender to investigate…

After spending some time re-emphasising some of the things that the teenagers don’t have in common, there’s a degree of rapport being built in this instalment. Yas and Sammy are amazed to find that they share a common interest with Brooklynn – one that inspires them to once more get in over their heads – and Kenji and Darius find the titular watering hole.

One of the things that the Jurassic franchise has done well is the sense of awe that we really would have in the presence of the creatures. The first time we see them in Jurassic Park is a moment that can’t really be replicated, but the production team have a good go with the scene at the watering hole, deliberately echoing some of the framing of that iconic shot before creating its own moment. It’s a good time for Kenji to start to see what it is that Darius has seen in the creatures.

There’s plenty of forward momentum in this episode – not least from the three girls as they’re pursued around the genetics lab by a hungry dinosaur – and what they spot at the end moves us, I suspect, into the second act of this season.

Verdict: Another well composed and delivered episode. 8/10
