The campers celebrate with a dock party after they make an incredible discovery that will allow them to escape the island. However when they head to the north dock for supplies they soon find that something big and angry is lurking in the fog.


  • Ambiguous Situation: It’s heavily implied that the 'Ouranosaurus'' are behaving uncharacteristically aggressive because the presence of Scorpios Rex has disturbed the islands dinosaurs, however we have never seen the species in the franchise until this episode and so there is no prior behavior to compare it to, so they may just be unusually aggressive compared to other herbivores.
  • Aquatic Hadrosaurs: The Ouranosaurus are more basal Hadrosauriforms than proper Hadrosaurs, but they certainly look the part, and two of them have no problem pursuing the campers into the water. It’s also hinted that unknowingly getting rammed by a submerged one early in the episode caused a hole in the boat.
  • Chekhov's Gun: The fireworks and electric candles Kenji found on the yacht prove useful for the campers to find their way back to the boat, and to scare off the Ouranosaurus.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Bumpy defends Sammy from a charging Ouranosaurus… and promptly drops the taller dinosaur with ease.
  • Herbivores Are Friendly: This gets subverted when the campers encounter a herd of aggressive Ouranosaurus at the northwest dock.
  • Late to the Tragedy: While boarding Mitch and Tiff’s yacht, Tiff is nowhere to be seen, but the campers find Baryonyx claw marks in the deck and the broken front window, quickly figuring out what happened.
  • Let's Split Up, Gang!: The campers split up to try to search the north dock for fuel and supplies, and get lost in the fog and threatened by dinosaurs. Somewhat justified in that nobody knows about the Ouranosaurus that broke in until after they’ve already split up.
  • Oh, Crap!: Darius, when he sees the huge hole in the fence around the north dock.
  • Ominous Fog: When the kids arrive at the north dock, they find it is covered in fog.
  • Out-of-Character Alert: Darius claims the Ouranosaurus usually aren’t nearly this aggressive, hinting that something is very wrong on the island.
  • Remember the New Guy?: The Ouranosaurus are treated as just another of Jurassic World's publicly-known dinosaurs, though they’ve never been seen or mentioned in any previous episode or film in the series.
  • Somebody Doesn't Love Raymond: Sammy notices that Bumpy doesn’t seem to much care for her, and is spending more time with Yaz. After spending much of the episode worrying about losing her Friend to All Living Things mojo, she learns Yaz carries snacks in her pockets that she’s been sharing with Bumpy.
  • Xenophobic Herbivore: The Ouranosaurus are incredibly aggressive, even snapping at each other and attacking a motionless jeep when they can’t find anything else. Darius claims this is very unusual behavior for them.
