Plot Summary[]

The episode begins as Ben and Darius cross the border into Texas, pulling up to Sammy’s Ranch. Smelling smoke, the two rush into the cabin, only to find it was merely Sammy burning her dinner. Sammy greets the pair of them with a hug, and shows them around the place. As the pair try and warn their friend, Sammy leads them into the ranch pasture, where they find Bumpy roaming free.

Sammy explains that Bumpy was rescued from Mantah Corp Island before the formal investigation into the various illegal activities there. Just then, a car drives up to them, but not before Bumpy swats it away, sending it into a tailspin. The driver, Carl stumbles out, and is almost attacked by Bumpy before Sammy shoos him away. Carl threatens Sammy and Bumpy, and Ben steps in to defend them. After a few moments tension, Carl leaves.

Sammy runs back to the house before they can warn her, and they run after her. In the kitchen, Ben warns Sammy that they are being hunted. Sammy goes to get supplies for the trip, making plans to go visit Kenji first. As Darius tries to comfort Sammy, they notice the power flickering.

Ben and Darius go to check on Bumpy while Sammy goes to check the breaker box. They find Carl’s truck near the edge of the property, but discover that something has killed him. As an Atrociraptor approaches, the men both hide, as Ben goes to get the van, while Darius goes to free Bumpy. While going to fix the breaker, Sammy sees an Atrociraptor and has to evade the dinosaurs while attempting to go to the van.

Ben attempts to free Bumpy but has to hide in the barn before an Atrociraptor approaches. Managing to evade the animal, he quickly traps it temporarily, while freeing Bumpy. Darius is pursued by the Atrociraptors through the barns as well, being forced to hide, before deciding to make a run for it. Sammy tries to sneak out through her house, but accidentally alerts the Atrociraptor, although she manages to trap it briefly. Sammy manages to escape due to Bumpy’s intercession as she fights off the raptor.

As they drive off, they all realize that their belief about being hunted has been confirmed. They make a plan to go visit Yaz and Kenj, using a map that was recovered from Brooklynn’s jacket. They notice an unknown name on the map, and question where she was going just before she died. Meanwhile back on the ranch, a shadowy figure frees the trapped Atrociraptor. The remaining Atrociraptors respond to a whistle, jumping into the back of a truck whih is revealed to be a disguised animal trailer.
