Synopsis[]

New recruits join the A.R.C team and are immediately given their first mission, after a pack of Future Predators appear at a park. However, while dealing with the incursion, Emily accidentally falls through the anomaly and finds herself trapped in the future. Will the team find and rescue her on time?

Plot[]

The episode opens with Abby in the Menagerie watching Rex, Sid, Nancy, the Mammoth, the Dracorex, and the Raptor, thinking about what she overheard Matt and Emily talking about when Connor walks in. He asks her if she's alright, but right as she is about to answer him and tell him about what she heard Matt and Emily were talking about, Jess calls them, telling them to go meet up with the rest of the team in Lester's office. Abby and Connor head back to the main hub and enter Lester's office, where the team and the Lakes are introduced to three new recruits; Kieran Coles, Anna Legg and Ryan Backer. Everyone except for Eve, Darren, and Lester, introduces themselves to the new recruits and Lester gives the new recruits a rundown of their roles on the team. They are to help the field team locate and secure anomalies, contain creature incursions, and keep an eye on Eve and Darren so they don't escape. As Darren is about to protest about the last point, the anomaly detector suddenly goes off. Jess and the veteran team members rush over to the ADD, where Jess locates the anomaly to a park. As everyone gears up, Lester has Kieran go with the field team and assigns Ryan and Anna the duty to take Eve and Darren back to their cell.

Later, at the park, the team find the anomaly and sets up an anomaly locking device, but before Connor can lock the anomaly, a Mutated Future Predator attacks him but is quickly thwarted off by the others and flees through the anomaly. Thinking that was the only Predator, the team relaxes, but several more Mutated Future Predators suddenly appear, forcing the team to defend themselves. Matt orders everyone to back away from the anomaly and everyone scatters. Once the team had backed away from the anomaly, the Predators run back through the anomaly, allowing everyone to finally let their guard down. Kieran then asks what those were, to which Jack tells him about the Predators and where they come from.

Meanwhile, Connor sets the anomaly locking device back up while Emily keeps watch and is about to lock the anomaly when another Predator runs through the perimeter and goes through the anomaly. However, as the Predator runs past Emily, she loses her footing while moving out of the way and falls though the anomaly, much to Matt's horror. Matt tries to go after her, but Becker stops him, telling him it's not safe, while Jenny tells Jess about the incident. Jess informs Lester of the situation, and he orders a rescue team to be sent to find her and puts Matt in charge of the operation. After receiving the orders, Matt picks Abby, Connor, Becker, Danny, and Kieran and they enter the anomaly, leaving Jack, Jenny, and Michael to guard the anomaly.

The rescue team exits the other side, only to find themselves in the Sterile Earth wasteland, much to their surprise. Close by, at the top of a hill, Emily wakes up and scans the area before spotting a Mutated Future Predator on its hind legs as it scans the landscape before it spots her. Emily quickly gets up and begins to run, and the Predator gives chase. As Emily tries to flee from the Mutated Future Predator, she trips over a rock and falls down the hill. Nearby, the rescue team hears Emily's screams and Matt leads them to the top of the hill, where they see the Predator cornering Emily. Kieran quickly shoots the Predator, knocking it out, and allowing Emily to run over to them. However, their reunion is cut short when more Predators appear. Matt spots a nearby burrow entrance and directs everyone towards it. They jump in, finding themselves in a tunnel and after the Predators give up trying to dig them out, Matt tells them that they can't stay in the tunnel for long, as it's actually a Giant Burrowing Insect tunnel and both it and the Future Beetles live in it, and they will attack anything that enters the tunnels. Kieran asks Matt how does he know all of this, to which Matt casually tells him that he is from the Future, shocking the new recruit.

Meanwhile, at an abandoned warehouse, Ethan formulates a plan as to how he should kill Eve and Darren and shows it to the second Matt. The second Matt agrees with the plan before telling Ethan to get what he needs from the storage room. Ethan walks over to a locked door and unlocks it before entering it and collecting the material he's going to use. While Ethan gathers the things he needs, the second Matt looks over the A.R.C layouts with a sinister smirk contorts his face.

Back at the A.R.C, Jess gives Lester an update on the situation and Lester tells Jess to send Anna and Ryan to the anomaly site, but she reminds him that their job was to keep an eye on Eve and Darren, to which he suggests that the recruits will have to take the Lakes along with them before returning to his office. As Lester walks back to his office, Jess calls Ryan and Anna, who are both standing guard outside of Eve and Darren's cell, and tells them and they are needed at the anomaly site and to bring Eve and Darren with them. This leaves the two recruits confused, but they nevertheless follow Jess' directions, takes the Lakes out of their cell, and bring them along with them to the anomaly site.

Meanwhile, at the park, Jack is getting worried, ask why the rescue team is taking so long, but Jenny reassures him that the rescue team can protect themselves against the Predators. Suddenly, a car pulls up and Anna, Ryan, Eve, and Darren hop out of the car. Anna walks up to Jenny and asks for a rundown of the situation while Ryan sets Eve and Darren to a nearby bench, ordering them not to move. Anna returns, explaining the situation to Ryan before they turn their attention back to the anomaly. Eve brings up how beautiful it looks, to which Anna says it looks more beautiful than she imagined it to be.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the anomaly, the rescue team is trying to find a way out of the tunnel when a Predator snarl echoes through the tunnel. Everyone pauses and realize that the Predators must've returned to the hole and made it bigger for them to enter before Matt tells everyone to keep moving. They continue walking forward and it isn't long before they feel a gust of wind blow through the tunnel. They run through the tunnel and when they round the corner, they find themselves standing in front of another tunnel entrance. They quickly exit the tunnels, just a pack of Mutated Future Predators arrive. They attack the rescue team, but Abby and Becker provide cover fire while the others exit the tunnel and take out some of the Predators before running after the others. Once outside, the team make their way back to the anomaly site, but that may be harder than it looks, as more Mutated Predators begin closing in on their position, Matt tells the others that they have to fight through them if they want to get back.

The team reluctantly prepare themselves for their dash toward the anomaly and as the Predators near their position, they make a break for it. As they run back toward the anomaly site, they fire their EMDs at the incoming Predators, taking some of them out and causing others to crash into each other, causing multiple Mutated Predators to attack each other. The team quickly take cover behind at a small patch of rocks and hold out for a bit as some of the Predators continue to attack them. After holding their position for a few minutes, Matt orders everyone to fall back to the anomaly. However, as they made their way back to the anomaly, Connor notices it starting to flicker out of existence and realises that the anomaly will close in a couple seconds if they don't run fast enough. Not wanting to be marooned in the Future wasteland, everyone makes a mad dash to the anomaly, successfully exiting out the other side as it closes behind them.

However, to their horror, some of the Mutated Predators had followed them through the anomaly and they quickly try to take them out. One of the Predators attacks Jenny, who falls to the ground to dodge it, only to lose her EMD in the process. Defenceless, Jenny can only watch in terror as the Predator prepares to attack her, but before it can even pounce on her, Darren, who had grabbed her EMD, shoots the Predator in the head, killing it instantly and saving Jenny. While he and Michael help Jenny onto her feet, Eve, who now has an EMD of her own, thanks to Anna, helps the team kill rest of the Predators. Once the last Predator is killed, everyone relaxes, with Matt hugging Emily and Abby and Connor sharing a kiss, before cleaning up the Predator bodies. As everyone drags the Predator bodies to the cars, Danny and Becker stare at the Lakes as they help clean up the Predator bodies and Danny tells him that they might've been wrong about Eve and Darren.

Later, at the A.R.C, everyone is standing inside Lester's office. Lester finishes reading the mission reports and looks up at Eve and Darren before thanking them and telling them that they are free to go, as he was wrong about them. However, Eve protests, saying that Helen was planning something for the A.R.C, but Lester quickly dismisses her protests, telling her that since she [Helen] is dead, it doesn't matter. Eve, however, says as long as Helen is involved with something, it could potentially doom the human race, and that she can't walk away without doing something. Darren agrees with Eve, saying he won't walk away either. Lester takes a moment to think about their proclamations before telling them that since what Eve is saying might happen and seeing how they've been a big help to the field team in their previous missions, he tells Eve and Darren that he'll see if he can pull some strings and get them jobs at the A.R.C. Eve and Darren are surprised but they quickly recover and happily thank Lester for giving them a chance. Lester expresses whether or not he had made a serious mistake before shooing everyone out of his office.

Later, at the Menagerie, Abby and Connor are watching the Mammoth pace around its enclosure before Connor remembers about their conversation at the beginning of the episode and asks Abby what she was going to tell him. Abby tells Connor what's she heard and just as she finishes, Matt and Emily walk in. They greet Abby and Connor, only to be confused at the strange looks they were giving them. Emily asks what they were looking at them for, to which Abby tells them she and Connor know about the second Matt. Suddenly, the second Matt appears behind Matt and Emily, scaring them and causing them to back away. Abby asks the second Matt who he is, to which he only says "The fall has only just begun." The four are confused, shocked, and worried about the meaning of the second Matt's warning as he leaves the room, leaving the two couples to their thoughts.
