## Episode summary

After a brief recap of the events of Dinosaur Park, Part 1 by Milly, the episode begins where the previous one left off, with a yellow Leonardo-like tyrannosaur chasing the tour boat in Dinosaur Kingdom. After a lengthy chase down the river, the boat manages to find shelter in a tunnel, allowing everyone to regain their bearings. While stopped, the passengers argue over their situation for a moment, and Milly and Manny that Dr. Fossilic was responsible for the dinosaur that chased them down. After King Leonardo and Tommy reveal that Fossilic got blood samples from them, Milly surmises that he must have used their DNA to make dinosaur hybrids of them. At that moment, a horde of tiny bugs resembling syringes attacks everyone on the boat and takes blood samples from each of them, though Leeko manages to avoid being bitten. After proceeding out of the tunnel, King Leonardo and Tommy try to ditch the others, but are stopped by another dinosaur hybrid, this one looking a lot like Tommy. After hopping back into the boat, the Tommysaurus is interrupted when the Leo-Rex returns, and the two start to fight each other. Milly reminds King Leonardo and Tommy to keep the boat moving after they try to cheer on their respective dinosaur hybrids. Seeing the boat get away, the two dinosaurs agree to work together to try and stop them, but without much success, much like their normal counterparts.

The tour group soon gets off the boat and continues running on foot, becoming separated into smaller groups in the process. A short time later, Chief Gordy and Beatrice stumble onto a hybrid of the chief and an apatosaurus. Meanwhile, Mayor Bay and Snowdrop discover a Mayor Bay-dinosaur hybrid after it eats one of the remaining sheep. From here, Marvin and Bubbles discover dinosaur clones of themselves as well. As this is all happening, Milly, Manny, and Leeko are trying to find their way back to Dr. Fossilic's laboratory, but they are stalked by the Leonardo tyrannosaur. Just as the monster is about to strike, however, a Milly-dinosaur hybrid attacks the Leo-Rex, saving the kids. As Milly and Manny comment on it, a pterodactyl resembling Manny appears to join in the fight. Milly and Manny try to piece the situation together, but realize that Leeko has gone missing in the commotion, having been lured away using an apple by Sir Pathogen and the Viruses.

As Milly and Manny search for Leeko, King Leonardo and Tommy manage to stumble into the laboratory, narrowly avoiding another attack from the Leo-Rex. After Dr. Fossilic finds them, King Leonardo threatens him with a bomb, but the doctor calms him by revealing his laboratory to be a monster factory. After showing them more dino-hybrids being incubated, Dr. Fossilic expresses his desire to obtain genetic material from Leeko, having failed to get some earlier. At that moment, Leeko is lured into the laboratory and trapped inside a restraining apparatus. From there, Dr. Fossilic gets a personal sample from Leeko's arm as Milly and Manny find the facility. The two are soon menaced by the Leo-Rex, who inadvertently smashes the door open for them, allowing them to get inside. While infiltrating the facility, Milly and Manny ran into Chef Peppermint, who apparently ended up there by "following his nose" into the kitchen. Their reunion is interrupted, however, when a velociraptor that resembles Peppermint attacks. After a brief struggle, they manage to subdue this monster by tossing a container of MSG at it, then hosing it down.

Milly, Manny, and Chef Peppermint then try to escape the facility, but are forced back in along with the reassembled tour group with the other dinosaurs appearing and attacking. After gathering together in one of the rooms, King Leonardo and Tommy reappear along with Leeko. They then reveal that Dr. Fossilic has managed to create a Leekosaurus using Leeko's DNA, as Fossilic comes riding in on the beast proclaiming it to be his greatest creation. After gloating for a bit, Dr. Fossilic reveals his own monstrous form and orders the Leekosaurus to attack. Everyone runs back out of the facility to get away, but are soon completely surrounded by the dinosaurs. As the Leekosaurus reveals its own vacuum-mouth ability, Moonlight Man appears and reminds Milly to call the Shooting Star, which she does. The Shooting Star comes just in time to save Leeko from being inhaled, and King Leonardo decides to toss a torch to the Leekosaurus to eat instead, granting the monster its own version of the Fire Copy Ability.

After Fire Leekosaurus duels with Leeko for a moment, King Leonardo tries to spice things up further by giving the monster a giant nuclear bomb, but Leeko manages to catch it in his mouth first, and gains the Crash Copy Ability. Dr. Fossilic tries to stop Crash Leeko before he unleashes this ability, but to no avail. Crash Leeko activates the explosion and proceeds to wipe out all of the dinosaurs, reducing them to fossils, taking Dr. Fossilic with them, and reducing his laboratory to rubble. Seeing the bones, King Leonardo gets an idea to make an exhibit of them, but Tommy disagrees with this idea, leading the two to quarrel and the rest of the group to laugh at them as the episode ends.

## Trivia

* This is the first episode in *The Beginning* trilogy to feature the Crash Copy Ability.
* This episode marks the first time in the series where Milly provides the opening narration.
* When the Chimera Dinosaurs are reduced to bones, there are no traces whatsoever of the Leekosaurus. This is supporting evidence for the idea that Leeko himself does not have a skeleton.
* This is the eleventh episode in *The Beginning* trilogy to feature the Fire Copy Ability, though it is seen physically by the Leekosaurus when it inhaled a torch from King Leonardo instead of Leeko himself.
* This is the eighteenth episode in *The Beginning* series where Milly calls for the Shooting Star.
* Notably, Leeko is lured away by Sir Pathogen and the Viruses before King Leonardo and Tommy are made privy to Dr. Fossilic’s schemes. This seems to imply that the Viruses and their captain were taking orders directly from Dr. Fossilic at the time.
* There are a few ironies in this episode, with the Baysaurus eating one of Mayor Bay’s sheep and Manny wishing for a dinosaur version of himself as the Mannadactyl dives in.
* The bomb Leonardo carries seems to have defuse itself when Fossilic tells him and Tommy that his lab is a monster factory.
