synopsis of epasode 3.9

This week the team face a huge rhinoceros-like creature and have to deal with a mysterious woman from the future named Eve. A herd of embolotherium have come through an anomaly at an off-road motor course, causing one man to have the worst stag night ever. The team arrive but these seven tonne rhinoceros-type beasts from the Eocene do not budge easily. To make matters worse Abby realises someone is trapped in a tent and for some reason one of the embolotherium seems intent of trampling it. Abby and Sarah try to rescue the trapped civilian whilst Connor tries to lure these lumbering creatures back into the anomaly through which they came without causing a stampede or being crushed in the process.

 plot

A man is riding a quad-bike through the countryside when he hears animalistic wails coming from nearby foliage. As he goes to investigate, he finds a strange creature, resembling a rhino calf, in the bushes. The creatures wails in distress, and something very large and very powerful smashes the man and his bike aside...  Meanwhile, Danny is attempting to break into Christine Johnson's research base, despite Lester's express orders to the contrary. Danny is determined to find out more about the mysterious woman who Johnson's men captured in the future. Quinn manages to sneak in on the underside of a military truck, dressed as a member of the cleaning staff; while skulking round, he spies Johnson interrogating the woman (also known as Eve) and decides to eavesdrop. Eve refuses to answer Johnson's questions, only telling her that everyone in the future is dead, due to the predations of the Future Predators. Johnson enquires as to where the predators came from, but Eve replies that she doesn't know, only stating that she wants that knowledge....

Meanwhile, Connor (who is still staying at Lester's flat), is met by Abby and Rex (who seems more than happy with his new playmates, Sid and Nancy). As the pair discuss their changing relationship, Abby allows Connor to move back into her flat (now that Jack is gone). But before they can discuss things further, they get word of a new anomaly. Back in the country, a group of blokes on a stag weekend leave the groom-to-be tied to a tree in the middle of the woodland. As he waits alone, a loud roar echoes through the trees. Initially assuming it's his friends playing another prank, he's not pleased to see a large male Embolotherium charging towards him. He manages to get back to the camp site, only to find himself in a tent with an injured Embolotherium calf crying for help. Connor, Abby, Sarah and Becker arrive shortly afterwards to deal with the anomaly, but they seem to be experiencing some interference with the anomaly detectors. After investigation, the team discover they have their work cut out for them upon seeing a huge herd of Embolotherium gathered in a clearing.
