Trivia[]
- It was never stated at all what happened to Malcolm,it is very unlikely however that he was not charged as Harlow did not get any evidence to clear him at all.
- It was intended for the Dinogorgon to be a female and have cubs,even though this was planned the writer of the episode did not know they was supposed to do this and it was to last minute to change anything once the script was edited.
Cancelled Story Idea[]
It was intended for this episode to be set in police headquarters and Codie was a animals expert (Like Dylan and Sonia) and the Dinogorgon was supposed to be a Gorgonops that had come through an undetected anomaly,but the episode was to costly to produce so it had to be changed,it is unknown why the Gorgonops was changed to a Dinogorgon.
