'Breakthrough' by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens |
While at a West Van skate park, two skateboarders inadvertently capture video footage of a Triceratops; rushing home they post it on the internet under the tag ‘FreakingRealDino’ – and the video quickly goes viral… At Cross Photonics, Dylan finds Evan struggling to run the business now that Ange has left; her friend also misses Mac, who has taken a leave of absence after seeing his dead alternate-self hidden in Evan’s Cold Room. After Toby alerts them to the Triceratops video, the duo head for the skate park, which is now swarming with sight-seers and news crews. In an effort to stop the viral, Toby tries to contact Lieutenant Leeds at Project magnet, only to be stonewalled by his new assistant, Warrant Officer Lisa Merriweather. Following the dinosaur’s trail into the woods, Evan and Dylan discover that it has broken into the grounds of a manor house owned by Howard Kanan – Evan’s rival in the industry. While Howard locks horns with Evan over the alleged theft of his work into photonics, Dylan locates the Triceratops, now drinking out of Howard’s pool; calling in Evan, she attempts to placate the creature – but it gets alarmed by her red outfit and bolts, knocking Evan into the pool in the process. The commotion draws Howard’s attention, and he immediately demands to know everything about the dinosaurs and anomalies. Back at Cross Photonics, Mac pays Toby a visit. Seeing his distress, Toby explains how Evan’s actions were well-intended, to save Mac’s life by changing his future. Mac begrudgingly sees reason, and after asking Toby to find out about the A.R.C., he offers to help debunk the video with the aid of ‘Spikey’, a large model of a Triceratops… Back at the manor, Evan reluctantly explains his work to Howard, while trying to fix his water-logged anomaly detector. Meanwhile, Dylan manages to secure the Triceratops in Howard’s tennis court – but then Lieutenant Leeds and his soldiers arrive on the scene…
