The yacht returns to collect Ben and Darius – but the whole group have to face off against the Scorpii rex.

You might think from the episode title that this is it – and there’s quite a large suspicion that this indeed was meant to be it. It’s literally only the last few seconds of the episodes that pushes things into another act – up until then, we’ve got the teenagers working as a team, escaping from and then battling both of the Scorpii rex, back in the original Jurassic Park visitors’ centre (complete with a short scene in the kitchens that deliberately homages the kids’ hiding in there in the first film). There’s some really good editing and visual angles throughout the episode – it’s something that’s been a hallmark of the show, but it’s dialled up for this. There’s even another special guest cameo from Blue. Ben makes up his mind whether or not to stay… and next stop Costa Rica.

Except it isn’t. The fact this happens at the end of what would have the final episode of a normal length season for the show really does make me wonder if this was originally planned as a wrap up episode – and there’d just be something to hint at a potential future avenue if the series got picked up for a fourth year. Instead, the arrival of the helicopter feels forced.

Verdict: Hopefully the conclusion we do get will feel as right as this would have been. 9/10
