While Danny infiltrates Christine Johnson's research centre and frees a captive who insists on being taken to the ARC, the team have to deal with a stampeding herd of Embolotherium about to trample a camp site...
- Asshole Victim: Christine Johnson has been a proverbial thorn in the team's side since day 1. No one feels particularly bad when she's torn apart by a future predator.
- Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted with Christine Johnson after Helen kicks her through an anomaly into the future; she re-emerges with her suit torn and her hair and makeup dishevelled, before being dragged screaming to her death by a slavering future predator.
- Beneath the Mask: Once Eve arrives at the ARC, her mannerisms become a lot more snide and superior in contrast to her earlier, more demure and helpful attitude to the team, cluing Abby into the fact she's up to something.
- Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: While reading through Eve's journal with Sarah and Becker, Connor finds several references to Claudia Brown, and only one person besides the deceased Nick Cutter knew about her...
- Hell Is That Noise: While trying to drag Christine to safety, the all-too familiar clicking growl of a hunting future predator is heard. Cue a Mass "Oh, Crap!" from everyone in earshot.
- Herbivores Are Friendly: Subverted: The Embolotherium are easily provoked and extremely dangerous when they are.
- Hostage Situation: Helen grabs Christine and holds her at gunpoint to force the ARC team to give her what she wants.Lester: There's no escape, Helen.Helen: I killed Nick. You know I'm not bluffing.Lester: And you know I have absolutely no intention of letting you walk out of here.Helen: [sing-song] You're playing games with her life, James.Lester: Go ahead, shoot her. Perfectly fine with me.Lester: Depends on where you're standing.
- I Did What I Had to Do: How Helen justifies killing Nick; although she still loved her husband, she'd seen that his work with the ARC would ultimately cause The End of the World as We Know It.Connor: (voice breaking) Just tell me how you could kill your own husband!Helen: ''(seriously) I had no choice. I loved him, Connor...but he was part of all this. This is the beginning of the chaos.
- Immune to Bullets: Abby tells Becker and his men not to bother shooting the Embolotherium, since they're so big and their hides so well armoured, it'll have little effect.
- Invisibility Cloak: It turns out that Eve is one for Helen Cutter.
- Invisibility Flicker: Abby's first clue that something is not right about Eve is seeing a flicker of distortion across her face.
- Mama Bear: An Emblotherium calf has gotten separated from the herd, and its mother is determined to find it, regardless of what or who gets in the way.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Danny allowing Helen Cutter in her guise as Eve access to the ARC. She even lampshades it.Eve: [while holding Christine Johnson at gunpoint] Thanks for bringing me here, Danny, I dunno what I'd do without you!
- Save the Villain: Danny tries to pull Christine Johnson to safety, but unfortunately, the future predator that's got her by the legs is too strong.
- We Can Rule Together: Christine tries to offer this to Helen, but Helen isn't interested in a deal.Christine: Listen Helen, we're on the same side. We have the same goals. We can share all of this. We have the artefact, control of the anomalies. Think of the power.Helen: If you think this is about power, then you're wrong!Christine: Then what is it about?Helen: It's all about you. You started all this. One ambitious little civil servant who ends the world.Christine: What are you talking about?Helen: I've seen the future...and it's all your fault.
- Wham Line:Eve: You know I'm not bluffing. [her voice and face become distorted] Now give me the artefact, or she dies.Abby: Helen?!
- Wham Shot: Eve using an unknown device to open an anomaly in front of a charging herd of Embolotherium.
- Also Eve's face crumbling to reveal Helen Cutter's under it.
