Camp Cretaceous S4 E2

## Plot

When the kids exit the cave, they discover a desert on the other side. They're stranded and alone, again, and this time they don't even know where they are. Ben notices something shining in the distance. The sunlight is glinting off of something made of metal. That means someone must've made it. He wants to check it out, and makes an inspirational speech that convinces the others to go along with it. They try to look on the bright side of things by starting sentences with "At least…" The heat is tough to deal with though, and then they briefly get separated in a sandstorm. Brooklynn and Kenji fall in a canyon. Darius finds Brooklynn's jacket and almost falls in the canyon as well until the others save him. The sandstorm ends as suddenly as it started. Brooklynn and Kenji hear water coming from pipes, but that doesn't make any sense. Maybe it leads to a way out. Kenji calls Brooklynn the smart one. Ben blames himself for what happened. Luckily, they reunite. They also found a pipe with water coming out of it, so they aren't in danger of death by dehydration. The pipes in the canyon means that someone built all of this. Where are they now though, and why would they do that? Ben finds a bush with berries on it and says it's the same as the ones on Nublar. Before they can eat them though, he suddenly panics and says they might be poisonous. What if they just look similar to the ones that he had on Nublar? What if he's wrong? They find the shiny object right as the sun goes down. It's just a single metal rectangle, and there aren't any more. Brooklynn notices a pile of animal bones nearby. At least they're able to start a pretty big fire that night. Plus, the night sky looks gorgeous. Light pollution and smog are the worst. The kids scream to let out their frustration and anger, except for Ben. He wakes up everyone later on as they're sleeping because he heard a noise. Darius asks him if he's sure. Maybe this is like earlier, with the berries. They all hear the leaves rustling. It's not the compy. It's a saber-toothed tiger, also known as a smilodon. Ben lures it into the canyon, but he falls down as well. At least he's armed with a torch? He reaches a dead end and can't climb out. Kenji runs ahead and actually jumps down onto the tiger. I know this extinct mammal wasn't actually related to tigers, but I'm going to call it that anyway. Also, holy shit Kenji! First you were willing to get into a fist fight with an armed mercenary while a dinosaur stampede was going on to save Brooklynn, then dive into the ocean without a line to save Darius from a shark and the mosasaurus, and now this to save Ben? He really is the kind of person who would do literally anything to save his friends. Brooklynn and the others almost drop a boulder on the tiger, and then they all throw rocks at it to get it to leave them alone. Ben also finally yells. They all reunite and hug each other. Ben worked so hard to not be the scared version of himself anymore, but the second they left Nublar, he's right back to square one. Sammy points out that if he hadn't warned them, they'd all be dead right now. At least scared Ben is good for something. He also jumped into the path of a saber-toothed tiger to get it to stop chasing his friends. He's not fearless, but he's also not scared of everything anymore. Maybe now he's finally just Ben. They decide to keep going. At least they have each other. Kenji trips over something made of metal. They have no idea what it is, but it left tracks in the ground, which they follow, until they suddenly stop, and Kenji seemingly bumps into thin air. It turns out that this whole place is an artificial biome, and they've finally reached the end of it. A futuristic door opens up for them, and that's where the episode ends.
