Camp Cretaceous S3 E1

## Plot

Something that I haven't talked about yet are the character models and how they change, in both subtle and obvious ways. Some of the characters that have jackets (Darius, Sammy, and Ben) ditch/lose them early on in the first season, and we don't see them ever again. The characters are almost constantly covered in dirt/mud because of their constant running from dinosaurs, etc. Their hair has also been growing, and Brooklynn's roots are steadily showing because she hasn't had access to hair dye. Kenji is even starting to grow facial hair. The kids have built a raft to get off Isla Nublar. They obviously can't bring Bumpy though, which saddens Ben. However, the sail can't handle the strong wind and blows away, and a large wave strands them back on the island. Bumpy and Ben reunite as everyone heads back to the treehouse. This was their first time trying to escape by raft. Kayaks and gyrospheres didn't work, nor did attempting to find a working helicopter or phone. Darius still thinks that a boat is the way to go. They just need a better sail. Yaz, whose ankle has healed, points out that it took them weeks to find enough usable fabric for the last one. And even if they do find one, what's going to save them from another killer wave? Darius says that every problem always has a fix. Ben is so attached to Bumpy that he isn't paying attention to anything else. Everyone agrees to try the raft again. Kenji says it's a shame that they can't just go to Lookout Point and hang glide all the way to Costa Rica. Darius doesn't know what that is. Kenji explains that it's up in the mountains to the west. They have hang gliders. They can use those to make a sail. Normally, people could get up and down by using the sky gondola, but with the power out, they'll have to go on foot. Yaz says it'll take her an hour. Brooklynn turns on the gondola. It gets its power from solar panels. Sammy and Kenji go together, and so do Yaz and Brooklynn. Darius stays behind because he can tell that something's bothering Ben. Sammy and Kenji have a ton of fun together, which is the exact opposite of Yaz and Brooklynn spending some awkward quiet time together. Even when they try to talk, they can't relate to each other. Back home, Yaz is always competing or training, and Brooklynn is always making videos, so neither one of them has time to do anything fun. They assume that the other's job is easy, even though there are some similarities, like sacrificing a normal childhood, trying to appease sponsors, etc. Darius tries to see how Ben is doing, but he's rather aggressive, and assures his friend that he'll be fine. Unbeknownst to them, E750 kills what looks like an allosaurus. It's actually a ceratosaurus. Sammy and Kenji admire the view while Yaz and Brooklynn get the hang gliders. Ben tells Darius that not every problem has a solution. He doesn't want to leave Bumpy. They'd never be able to build a big enough raft for her. She has to stay here. It's her home. He doesn't want to abandon her. He knows she'll be okay without him, but he doesn't know if the reverse also applies. The hang gliders are locked up. Brooklynn tries to pick the lock while Yaz looks for a rock to smash it. Brooklynn is able to pick it, but only because Yaz realized that Lookout Point has become a nesting ground for the pteradons. Kenji and Sammy are able to get back on the gondola. Brooklynn and Yaz use a hang glider to get down and avoid the pteradons… mostly. One attacks them and makes a hole in the glider. Ben, Darius, and Bumpy have been watching this all from the ground and run towards them. They crash land, but they're okay. Bumpy saves Ben and Darius from the pteradon, and the two boys are able to scare it away. Brooklynn and Yaz have bonded from their experience. Sammy hugs everyone when she and Kenji get there. Darius says they can fix the glider for their next boat, which reminds Sammy of what she and Kenji saw when they were at Lookout Point. They spotted Mitch and Tiff's boat. It's big enough for Bumpy. Ben admits that Darius was right, every problem does have a fix.
