Camp Cretaceous S1 E3

## Plot

The kids are finally talking to each other, but Brooklynn is focused on her vlog, and Sammy thinks Yaz shouldn't be off by herself. She literally doesn't think anyone would actually want or prefer to be alone. Cue every introvert in the world declaring this fictional character to be enemy number one. They head inside when it starts raining. Darius sarcastically thanks Brooklynn when she says his scary story was a waste of time. Sammy comes on very strong to Yaz. They get to drive gyrospheres the next day. They'll be watching park personnel herd herbivores to fresh grazing lands, which excites Sammy since it reminds her of cattle drives back home. The storm from the previous night has already moved up the coast and away from them. Kenji will be riding with Ben, Sammy with Yaz, and Brooklynn with Darius. Dave and Roxie encourage him to just be himself and show the others what he's got. None of them get along with each other. Brooklynn pays attention to her phone, Sammy talks too much, and Ben is Ben. Brooklynn is obsessed with the mean comments on her videos and doesn't care about dinosaurs. She apologizes though, and explains that she's under a lot of pressure all the time, because her whole life is about being popular. She can't just remain unfazed and move on like Darius can with his lame story. She *needs* people to like her, and tells Darius that he wouldn't understand. The storm returns, which startles the dinosaurs. Dave and Roxie decide to end the ride along early for safety reasons. They have to drive ahead to let park personnel know though, since the storm is interfering with the radio. Darius sees a sinoceratops run away after they leave. He wants to herd her back to the others, and points out to Brooklynn that her followers would love a dino chase. Sammy and Ben thinks it's a bad idea, but Yaz and Kenji follow them. They get too close and freak her out, so she attacks them, which spooks multiple dinosaurs. The park personnel try to take care of it. Dave and Roxie's car gets flipped and almost crushes them. A sinoceratops attacks Brooklynn and Darius, and they end up stuck in a mudhole and start sinking. Yaz and Sammy learn that they're in trouble, so they make a ramp for their gyrosphere out of branches. They run into Ben and Kenji. Their gyrosphere broke. Trying to drive out of the mudhole will only make Brooklynn and Darius sink deeper, and the mud is jamming the doors shut. This feels like an obviously overlooked safety hazard. The others arrive, but the gyrosphere is too heavy to lift. And then a sinoceratops shows up. Sammy treats her like the cows back home and calms her down, earning her trust. Everyone ties some rope together (or maybe vines?) and the sinoceratops pulls the gyrosphere out just in time. Back at the treehouse, Roxie points out that they could've been killed and asks them what they were thinking. Still, all of them are friends now, or at least getting along with each other. Yaz is a talented artist and finally shows Sammy her sketches and answers her questions. She started doing it during track meets to kill time. She's not great at trusting new people. If everyone had just listened to Sammy, they wouldn't have had any problems. Darius thought he knew everything about dinosaurs, but all he did was mess up today. He just wanted people to like him. Brooklynn was wrong before, he *does* understand. While she's reviewing the video though, she sees Sammy take a DNA sample from the sinoceratops in the background. Speaking of which, Sammy is standing behind her when she discovers this, and looks worried. Yeah, she's the shadowy figure from the previous episode. Brooklynn wasn't the only one snooping around where she wasn't supposed to.
