Primeval - Episode 4

Episode 4





A flock of dodos come squawking through an anomaly under a football stadium but they may not be as innocent as they look. Lurking deep inside them is a deadly parasite just bursting to get out. Why is it there is never a nice, safe prehistoric animal?

Helen Cutter - now in custody at the Home Office - is refusing to co-operate with Lester and is furious with Cutter for helping to entrap her. Lester is such a bastard - he's the character you just love to hate! Helen is the only one who understands how the anomalies work but for now she's keeping her secrets safe.

Claudia dislikes Helen, wary of her motives and deep down jealous of her apparent hold over Cutter. You can see the attraction growing every week between Cutter and Claudia. However, Claudia puts her skepticism aside, giving Helen the chance to redeem herself. But instead of helping, Helen uses the anomaly to escape, leaving in her wake, not a pack of vicious carnivores as everyone expected - but a flock of dodos. Contrary to reputation, these birds are far from harmless as Connor's suspicious friends are about to discover.

Connor's secret life, full of late night excursions, mystery phone calls and friendships with girls is really starting to bug his friends. They set out on a covert mission to discover what's really going on. They steal a dodo, unaware that it's carrying a deadly parasite and with one bite, Connor's friend Tom is infected. Can the others find him before a pandemic is unleashed?

Tom finds himself struggling with the urge to attack. A staunch conspiracy theorist - even worse than Hodgins on the FOX series BONES - he seeks out Abby for answers. Time's running out and Lester's livid. Did Cutter know of Helen's planned escape? Did Helen unleash the contaminated birds on purpose? Cutter knows she's ruthless but surely she's not capable of this? He wants answers more than anyone but will he ever see Helen again?

A frantic race ensues to find Abby before it's too late... Will they make it? Can Tom be saved? The dangerous reality of the anomalies is about to hit Connor hard. Is he strong enough to go on?

After only 4 episodes I am totally in love with this series. Part time travel, part mystersy, all action, suspense and romance rolled into one great show!
