Primeval: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

 

 

----

* [[Action Girl]] - Abby becomes one, YMMV on when. Emily from the Victorean era is also a notable example, when she returns to her era she becomes Spring Heel Jack to hunt down a Raptor, getting the blame for its wrong doings, but is still capable at killing it.

* [[Actor Allusion]] - Abby is played by Hannah Spearritt, who before this was best known for being a member of the band S Club 7. In the Season 4 premier, when she turns on music in an arena to distract a dinosaur, what plays? "Don't Stop Moving" by S Club 7.

* [[Affirmative Action Girl]]: Sarah in season 3. Jess and Emily in season 4.

* [[All Love Is Unrequited]] - Connor --> Abby --> Stephen --> Helen --> Nick ---> Claudia. At first, anyway.

* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]

* [[Always a Bigger Fish]]

** [[Summon Bigger Fish|Summon]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Columbian Mammoth]]

* [[Always Save the Girl|Always Save Rex]]: Abby repeatedly goes back into danger to save Rex.

* [[Anyone Can Die]] - At least four major characters and many minor characters died.

** Taken to the furthest extreme with {{spoiler|the death of the}} '' {{spoiler|main character}}'' in Series three.

** the [[Alpha Bitch]] who gets eaten by a ''Therocephalian''.

** {{spoiler|Henry Merchant}} definitely counts.

* {{spoiler|[[Bad Future]] - According to Matt, humans live underground,because the surface is sterile and can't sustain life anymore}}

* [[Bald of Evil]] - Captain Ross (one of Christine's soldiers) sports one.

* [[Benevolent Boss]] - Lester, albeit one hiding behind a [[Jerkass Facade]]

* [[Berserk Button]] - The cast has a few:

** Lester: His Jag.

** Jenny: Crash her wedding, and you ''WILL'' pay, as the Hyaenodon found out.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]] - Stephen is pretty much a ''walking'' Big Damn Heroes moment. Even comic relief Connor gets one of these moments in Season 2, episode 4.

** Connor gets another in Season 3 {{spoiler|when he saves Abby from a Raptor}}

** As does the Raptor in the third season finale.

* [[Big No]] - Abby does this in S2, episode 4. Impressively enough, Hannah Spearritt ''actually makes it work.''

* [[Body Horror]] - The fungus monster. "[[Deadpan Snarker|I'll never look at athlete's foot the same way again.]]"

* [[Brief Accent Imitation]] - Well, Jenny ''did'' ask for Cutter's ''exact'' words...

* [[British Brevity]] - Every series is six or seven episodes long, except series three which went for ten.

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] - The whole ARC crew according to Lester (and probably Lester too, given his relations with [[Whitehall]])

* [[The Bus Came Back]] - Jenny reappears when the team detects an anomaly at her wedding. She is really not happy about that... the Anomaly, I mean, not the team; she doesn't mind seeing them, invites them to the wedding and beats a Hyaenodon with a candlebra.

** Danny reappears at the end of season 4.

* [[Cat Fight]] - Abby vs Caroline toward the end of Season 2

* [[Celebrity Paradox]] - the S Club 7 song "Don't Stop Movin" is heard in the first episode of Series 4, thus creating the possibility that Hannah Spearitt exists in this universe.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]] - The {{spoiler|numbers on the artifact}}

* [[Chekhov MIA]] - Helen Cutter at first

** In season 4 {{spoiler|Danny's long lost brother returns (as does Danny himself)}}

* [[Cliff Hanger]] - Season 1 ends with the disappearance of Claudia, Season 2 ends with Helen creating an army of clones, Season 3 ends with {{spoiler|Connor and Abby stuck up a tree in the Cretaceous, Danny in the Rift Valley at the Dawn of Humanity, and Sarah [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee|having a plan]] to save them}}, Season 4 ends with Matt leaving {{spoiler|the anomaly to Victorian London (to which he had sent Emily back through)}} to plan his next move to save the future while Philip takes Connor into his automobile to discuss Connor's theory of convergence and Season 5 ends with {{spoiler|Matt being warned by a battered future version of himself that he has to "go back".}}

* [[Container Maze]]

* [[Continuity Nod]]: In 5x05, after dealing with a T-Rex, Becker makes a comment about the EMDs actually being able to take one down. In the first episode of season four, while arguing with Matt over the effectiveness of EMDs, Matt said that they could take down a fully-grown tyrannosaur.

* [[Cool Gate|Cool Anomaly]]: It looks like shattered glass and is very bad luck.

* [[Da Chief]]: Lester slips into it every so often.

** Cutter and Becker have had their moments as well, but Lester is still the king of this trope.

** Connor develops a tendency to do this under stress.

* [[Did Not Do the Research]] - Averted. While the show does take dramatic license at points (Silurian scorpions weren't ''that'' big) they do it with full knowledge that they're deviating from hard science. Besides, [[Rule of Cool|you]] ''[[Rule of Cool|know]]'' [[Rule of Cool|you want to see Nick and Stephen being chased by GIANT scorpions!]]

* [[Digging Herself Deeper]] - Jess discussing Becker's relationship status in episode 4x02.

* [[Dinosaurs Are Dragons]] - The Dracorex was understandably mistaken for a dragon when it wandered through medieval England.

** So it's [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Dublin for London]]

** The most egregious example so far is probably Sarah, who was last seen saying she had "a plan" to get Connor and Abby back from the past. A year later, they get back on their own, to discover she died offscreen at some point, apparently in some undescribed attempt to save them. [[Anticlimax|Yeah.]] As it turns out, her plan was to go to the future and find Abby, Connor and Danny... great idea! You die. In a car. Mauled by a predator, while crying out for Becker...

*** This is because her actress has a kid and lives in London [[Doubling for London|while the show is now largely filmed in Ireland]].

* [[DVD Commentary]] - starting from Season 2, at a pretty fixed rate of one commentary per disc

* [[Dying to Be Replaced]] - {{spoiler|Nick Cutter}} bites it to make way for {{spoiler|Danny Quinn}} early in Season 3.

* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]] - [[Word of God]] is that Lester's middle name is Peregrine.

* [[Engineered Public Confession]] - {{spoiler|Lester and Becker end Christine Johnson's takeover of the ARC by recording her less-than-complimentary comments about the Minister of Defence.}}

* [[Eureka Moment]] - Sarah talking Egyptology lets Cutter figure how to plot anomalies appearances, or at least begin to.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]] - "All right, Leek. [[Your Little Dismissive Diminutive|You've had your nasty little joke]]." This comes from Helen Cutter, of all people.

* [[Evil Chancellor]] - In many ways, this is Leek's role in Season 2

* [[Evilutionary Biologist]] - {{spoiler|Helen}}

* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]] - Helen between Seasons 1 and 2, Nick between 2 and 3, and Abby between 3 and 4.

** It wandered into this much earlier with either the Mammoth on the (crowded) motorway, the Egyptian Prehistoric Crocodile on the rampage in central London, or at the very latest the prehistoric rhino stampede over a camp ground.

* [[Extreme Graphical Representation]] - The anomaly detector in the ARC.

** Admittedly Connor ''has'' just been knocked out and isn't thinking clearly so the face palm isn't entirely justified!

*** And then he hits it with a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|great big stick]], utterly redeeming himself!

** ( [[Tear Jerker]] ) - {{spoiler|Cutter's}} death. "You know what, Helen? You're not as smart as I thought you were..." (Beat, then Helen pulls the trigger; even ''SHE'' is crying.)

*** Note, these aren't actually his last lines, (which were, "Tell Claudia Brown ... oh, never mind ..."), as he had a conversation with Connor, but his last lines before being shot.

** For the ladies, Becker taking his shirt off towards the end of 4.04. And ''how.''

** Same goes for Connor, three episodes earlier. Yum.

* [[Feathered Fiend]] - The phorusrachids, and to a lesser extent, the Hesperornis and the Deinonychus raptors, which did have some light feathers, which you will notice, if you look closely, enough.

* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]] - Sir William in S3, mistaking modern London for Hell. Easy mistake to make, though. Not that it breaks his spirit much as he promptly shows a few minutes later as he scares the shit out of some allegedly badass bikers in a bar, forcing them to cower under the table.

** [[The Hero]]: Cutter, then Danny. Most recently, Matt.

** [[The Lancer]]: Steven, then Abby. Becker [[Your Mileage May Vary|might double as this]] in series 4.

** Connor was [[The Smart Guy|always very intelligent]], though his intelligence was exaggerated in the fourth and fifth series, to the point where he can even {{spoiler|create machines that can ''open anomalies''.}}

** Helen has also grown more psychotic as the series progresses.

* [[Flynning]] - Danny and a couple of iron bars + Knight with broadsword = [[Flynning]] in large quantities.

'''Connor''': Not [[The Bible|that one.]] }}

* [[Gallows Humor]]:

'''Lester:''' Well, you know, have her shot and dispose of her body discreetly. ''(As he's leaving)'' [[Refuge in Audacity|Just kidding.]] }}

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Nick Cutter.

'''Christine:''' When people say that James, it usually is. }}

* [[Genre Savvy]] - Cutter correctly assumes Leek keeps his cells bugged and uses it to convince an eavesdropping Helen that he still loves her.

'''Connor:''' ''Split up?'' I'm not splitting up! Have you not seen the horror movies? }}

* [[Getting Hot in Here]] - The "reason" for Helen's outfits.

* [[Giant Flyer]] - Giant Flying Praying Mantis' from the future in Season 3 and the Pteranodon in Season 1. Also subverted the predatory subtrope by not having the big Pteranodon as the human killer, {{spoiler|but small, probably-insectivorous Anurognathus}}.

* [[Gone Horribly Right]] Phillip's Security Lockdown program. It locks down very well... UN-locking, however...

* [[Guarding the Portal]]

* [[Heroic BSOD]] - The time displaced Sir William has one during the episode with the Dracorex during which he briefly becomes a [[Death Seeker]]. {{spoiler|He is redeemed by [[The Power of Love]] though (and a [[Stable Time Loop]])}}.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] - {{spoiler|Stephen}} in the finale of Season 2.

** Becker a couple of episodes earlier, but he's [[Not Quite Dead]].

* [[Hero Stole My Bike]] - in the first episode of Season 2.

* [[High Heel Face Turn]] - A particularly jarring example in Caroline who was clearly depicted as amoral and even outright sadistic (including stuffing Rex into a fridge) but then suddenly developed sympathetic qualities.

* [[Holy Backlight]]: When Emily goes back through the anomoloy in series four.

* [[Honey Trap]]: Caroline for Connor in season two. (She's working for Leek.)

*** {{spoiler|Connor in Series 4-5. Stops trusting him [Philip] in episode 4 of series 5}}

**** {{spoiler|And Philip himself is yet another guy who trusted Helen.}}

* [[Hot Scientist]] - Sarah Page, Connor, Cutter...

* [[I Call It Vera]] - {{spoiler|Danny's stick is called "Molly"}}. Are we sure he's still sane; he's been gone almost two years...

* [[Identical Stranger]] - Jenny Lewis and Claudia Brown. Justified by [[In Spite of a Nail]].

* [[Improvised Weapon]] - Connor does this a lot.

** He's not the only one to use this. Golf club, anyone?

** Once again, Lester and the mammoth count. Sort of.

** In fairness she does seem excellent at keeping an eye on the ARC operatives and making important connections.

* [[Indy Hat Roll]] - Connor does one (sans going back for anything) in S2, episode 1.

* [[Indy Ploy]] - Several.

** {{spoiler|Subverted in Season 4. Therocephalians are loose in a school, and one of them [[Tear Jerker|kills a child offscreen]] before Matt and Becker can save her.}}

*** Actually, it was onscreen with a [[Gory Discretion Shot]].

** Well, they managed to change the present (by accident), so the future shouldn't be off-limits... a Meta-Stable Time Loop is more consistent with.

* [[Innocuously Important Episode]] - Season 3 episode 7 re-introduces the concept of a {{spoiler|[[Stable Time Loop]] with Sir William's grave, and the finale takes it to its logical conclusion with the fossil records in the rift valley}}.

*** There were also other things that changed, or may have, that were never mentioned. Abby has a different apartment, no longer walks around in her underwear, and seemed to have no romantic feelings for Stephen. Connor seems a bit more shy - compared to him asking Abby for a kiss is Series 1 - and his friends are never mentioned, which could imply he never had them {{spoiler|One of them (ie, the surviving one) pops up in 4.2}}. His taste in clothing also changes as instead of button downs and sweaters/sweater vests, he wears mostly tee shirts, hoodies, and button vests. Also, instead of being a dinosaur expert, he instead becomes a computer genius. Lester's suits are a lot less tacky, and he's no longer a knight (check the credits) or an asshole. There are other things as well (the gorgonopsid never died, the scutosarus never returned to its time, etc).

* [[Irrelevant Sidequest]] - In the Season 3 finale, {{spoiler|the second anomaly at Christine's former HQ is a [[Red Herring]] to justify the team splitting up and Becker and Sarah staying behind.}}

** In episode 1.5, Abby notes that they can't hear any birdsong... out in the country... on a clear day.

* [[Jerkass]] - Leek, Christine, and Helen. Jack Maitland, a little, albietly unintentionally in 3.8 as he's not sad about Becker's apparent Death.

** Absolutely ''everyone'' gets at least one moment of being a [[Jerkass]], but the above-mentioned villains are standouts. There is no [[Affably Evil]] to be found here, but [[Good Is Not Nice]] either.

** Cutter seems a mild example of a [[Jerkass Woobie]] later on in the series.

* [[Jumped At the Call]] - After learning about the existence of the anomalies, Danny went out of his way to <s> pester</s> aid the ARC crew until they let him join. Connor did this, too, in Season 1.

* [[Kill All Humans]] - {{spoiler|What Helen is really up to}}

* [[Killed Off for Real]] - {{spoiler|So far, Cutter, Stephen, Helen, Ryan, Sarah, and a whole host of minor characters.}}

* [[Knife Nut]]: Emily.

* [[Knight Templar]] - A literal one in Sir William's case. A straighter example of this trope in the case of {{spoiler|Helen Cutter}}, who eventually ends up as a [[Nietzsche Wannabe]].

* [[Land Mine Goes Click]] - used to blow up a [[Feathered Fiend|phorusrachid]], as well as {{spoiler|Captain Ross}}.

** Understandable in the case of Becker, given that his first name is Hilary.

* [[Loophole Abuse]] - How Lester keeps Connor and Abby in ARC employment after they return in season 4. [[Grandfather Clause|Since they were employed before the military background rule was implemented]], and technically never quit, it doesn't affect them.

* [[Loveable Rogue]] - Danny Quinn

* [[MacGuffin]] - The Artifact

* [[MacGyvering]] - {{spoiler|Fixing Helen's [[Magical Database]] with torch batteries, amongst other things}}

* [[Mama Bear]] - Mama Embolotherium in this case. Imagine how much [[Everything Is Worse With Bears|worse it would be with prehistoric bears]] though. If only the series had an ''Arctodus'' before it got axed.

* [[Masquerade]] - the team uphold it the best they can, but you can't help but wonder when it's going to come apart at the seams. <s> Mammoth</s> escaped large circus elephant on the M25, anyone?

* [[McLeaned]] - {{spoiler|Sarah}} after the S3 finale; she's mauled to Death in a car (revealed in the first webisode) in the future while calling out for Becker. Nasty way to go.

* [[Mega Neko]] - The Smilodon.

** The show's been getting better about this. One episode of series 4 had the heroes fail to save a girl while managing to save two boys, although the heroes are upset about their failure, they don't dwell on it ''too'' much.

* [[Metamorphosis Monster]] - In season 3, the team encounters a nastily infectious fungus that converts its hosts into hideous mutants which of course are infectious as well.

* [[Monster of the Week]] - Mostly prevalent in season one before the Helen arc found its feet, but at heart the show is an adventure series based on what is going to come through this week's anomaly.

* [[Mood Whiplash]] - Episode 1.4 contains this - the tension is broken when the dodos come through. {{spoiler|Then Tom gets infected, and the show goes darker than it's ever gone before when he dies.}}

* [[Morality Pet]] - Jess acts like this for No-Nonsense Becker, as notable in the episode he's almost crying when she nearly dies from her allergy to bug bites.

* [[More Expendable Than You]] - The reason behind Stephen's [[Heroic Sacrifice]].

* [[Murder Is the Best Solution]] - Becker is a strong advocate of this approach.

* [[Must Make Amends]]: {{spoiler|Connor}} does this in episode 5 of series 5, though he shows the intention a little before hand.

* [[My Car Hates Me]] - Jenny tries to start up her car. There is a Giganotosaurus trying to eat her. Predictably, the car fails to start.

* [[My Favorite Shirt]] - Connor, Danny and Abby lose Becker's favourite gun.

* [[My Future Self and Me]] - {{spoiler|Matt}} is warned to {{spoiler|"go back"}} by what is apparently a battered future version of himself at the end of Season 5.

* [[Never Say Goodbye]] - Between {{spoiler|Danny and Sarah when they split up to tackle two separate anomalies}}.

* [[Nice Hat]] - Connor's brown trilby.

** Also, Connor throughout season 4 and up to episode 4 of season 5, by helping Philip {{spoiler|who was tricked by [[Big Bad|Helen Cutter]] and almost destroyed the world.}}

* [[Night Swim Equals Death]]: A couple is swimming in a public pool at night, when a [[Sea Monster|mosasaur]] joins them...

** Amusingly Lampshaded by Helen, who states that the Predator has "an almost ''supernatural'' ability to stalk its prey."

** A human version pops up late in series 5: {{spoiler|a [[Mook]] manages to catch Matt completely off-guard by ''running straight at him from the side.'' Emily's attacker grabs her from behind, saving her from being a victim of this trope.}}

* [[Not Important to This Episode Camp]] - The Season 3 finale sent Lester to this.

* [[Not So Different]]: Connor says he's taking risks because he's like Cutter, who wanted to change the future.

* [[Now or Never Kiss]]- Between {{spoiler|Matt and Emily}} in series five, right before {{spoiler|Matt runs off to drive an anomaly into another one in order to blow them up.}}

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] - Leek puts on a convincing show of incompetence during his employ at the ARC which disguises his [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|true intentions]].

* [[Only Sane Employee]] - Becker is flat out told that will be his job description by Lester. This is fair description of Lester's role, too.

* [[Outrun the Fireball]] - Helen, after she blows up the hotel in Episode 5. Nick does something similar in Season 3.

*** Seriously, how did ''no one notice?'' [[Conveniently Empty Buildings]]?

*** The masquerade finally is bust right open in season 5 episode 5, when {{spoiler|a T-Rex attacks London city centre}}.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: It is repeatedly demonstrated that you do NOT want to mess with Lester's team. Do so at your own risk.

* [[Pet Baby Wild Animal]] - Rex, Sid, and Nancy

* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]] - Valerie mistakenly thinks the Smilodon is this.

* [[The Plan]]: Most characters are pretty good at this.

* [[Plausible Deniability]] - Jenny Lewis' job is to maintain this for Lester. Which she does mainly through [[Blatant Lies]]. People seem to buy it, though. Possibly because the reporters that didn't ended up getting eaten by a Giganotosaurus.

* [[Plucky Girl]]: Taylor in 2x05.

* [[Portal Cut]]: Happened once, to a dinosaur.

* [[Prehistoric Monster]] - '''Any''' prehistoric critter is portrayed as scary as possible, even those which in [[Real Life]] would appear cute and harmless. In a series from the 2000s. This trope seems all but abandoned...

** Averted with the ''Diictodon''s, which are considered by quite a few people in the show to be [[Ugly Cute]].

*** Being a nuisance is not the same as being a monster.

** Also, the show makes it clear that all the prehistoric creatures are ''animals'', not monsters, and even the most dangerous ones are just predators, not evil, and the characters will only kill them if there is absolutely no other option.

* [[Real Life Relative]] - Abby and Connor's actors are a couple in [[Real Life]] (and are slowly inching to it in the show).

** Lester and Christine are also married in real life. [[Foe Yay|Yep.]]

* [[Redshirt Army]] - Christine's security forces

* [[Red Shirt Reporter]] - Not being smart enough to come in out of a storm is one thing, but not being smart enough to run away from a rampaging Giganotosaurus? [[Idiot Ball|Come on!]]

* [[Retool]] - At the end of Season 1 the creators to the opportunity to tweak the casting slightly, give the team a wider scope, and gift them a new base. More slight tweakage occurs in Season 3 where they quietly drop the Claudia/Jenny arc in the wake of {{spoiler|Cutter's}} death.

* [[Revenge]] - Danny's brother was killed by a gremlin. Danny kills the gremlin.

** {{spoiler|Except Danny's brother wasn't killed...}}

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: The Diictodon. Rex, too.

* [[Roadside Wave]] - Done to [[Butt Monkey|Connor]] in Season 2, courtesy of a roller coaster.

* [[Room Full of Crazy]] - in episode 4x02, Connor's friend Duncan has been keeping track of creature sightings on a Wall of Crazy in his flat.

* [[Selective Magnetism]] - The Anomalies tendency to emit magnetic fields as and when the plot requires it.

* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]] - {{spoiler|Matt and his father Gideon came from the future to prevent destruction of mankind by stopping the one who is responsible for it}}

'''Cutter:''' I call myself a human being. }}

** 5.06 gives us one involving the "finger to the lips" gesture between {{spoiler|Matt and Emily}}. It crosses a bit with {{spoiler|[[Now or Never Kiss]]}}.

* [[Sinister Subway]] - Season 1, Episode 2. It was full of big bugs.

* [[Skyward Scream]]: Lester waits until he's in his office before letting out one, when he realises that the person the government want to give a Knighthood to is ''Philip Burton'' and not himself.

* [[Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb]]

** The first two episodes of Season Four are largely devoted to {{spoiler|their return from the Cretaceous and reintegration with the new team}}.

* [[Stable Time Loop]] - Sir William knows to go back and marry Elizabeth because the writing on his own grave tells him to. And also because of Helen, {{spoiler|the totality of human history.}}

* [[Stealth Insult]] - Subverted, as Claudia spots it.

'''Claudia''': Shall we stick to the point? }}

** Averted in Season 3 with Giganotosaurus, used instead of T. rex because it's [[Bigger Is Better|bigger]], faster and meaner. Later in the season, a Dracorex shows up.

** [[Lampshading|Connor runs down a list]] of popular dinosaurs they might bump into in S3's finale including T.Rex, Raptors, Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus. {{spoiler|Turns out to be raptors again}}

* [[Tempting Fate]] - Done repeatedly, although the stand out moment is {{spoiler|Becker hoping that getting to Christine's anomaly is as easy as getting in the unguarded gate. It isn't.}}

** Poor Connor seems the victim of this more often than anyone else. The monsters seem to wait on cue for him to say something reassuring.

* [[Terse Talker]] - {{spoiler|The clone of Cutter}} most likely due to Helen only bothering to teach him the bare minimum to communicate.

* [[The Danza]] - Lucy Brown as Claudia Brown

* [[The Lancer]] - Stephen. Abby occasionally slips into this trope, too.

* [[They Do]]: Connor and Abby, and Matt and Emily. [[UST]] is now being provided by Becker and Jess.

* [[Those Two Guys]] - Geeky Tom and Duncan

** When time travel is explained by such lines as "The creatures are proof that the past exists," you know that nobody knows what's going on.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]] - The [[Asshole Victim|reporters]] from season 3 insisted on filming the Giganotosaurs that was trying to eat them, standing directly in its path and practically begging for it to eat them. Predictably, it does.

** The girl running from {{spoiler|the t-rex}} in series five {{spoiler|''should'' count, since she basically makes all of the wrong decisions when it comes to surviving, but Matt manages to save her.}}

* [[Trapped in Containment]] - Season 3, episode 5. With [[The Virus]].

* [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]] - {{spoiler|Season 5, episode 5}}

* [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]]- Subverted, whatever Sarah's plan was to get Danny, Connor and Abby back, it doesn't work and gets her killed offscreen.

* [[Villainous Rescue]] - Helen does this to Claudia once.

* [[The Virus]] - The fungus in S3.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]] - The future Predators hunt by echolocation and can be confused by loud noises.

* [[Where It All Began]] - The Season 1 finale

** Jess hates insects, but she has reason - she's allergic and {{spoiler|almost dies in one episode.}}

* [[Wild Card]] - Helen Cutter

* [[Worm Sign]] - The Silurian scorpions

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: A particular gift of Helen Cutter and Oliver Leek.

* [[You Can't Fight Fate]] - {{spoiler|As Helen finds out the penalty for trying to is death by Raptor}}

* [[You Already Changed the Past]] - Helen's {{spoiler|grand plan to destroy humanity only contributes to its history}}
