When someone is killed by a creature ''without'' an anomaly opening, the team finds themselves facing a bigger challenge then expected.
----
* AndroclesLion: Valerie raised the ''Smilodon'' from when it was a cub, and, as a consequence, is treated as one of its pack mates. However, this doesn't save her when it is in a rage after being shot.
-->'''Valerie''': I went into my garage one day and he was just somehow, magically there. A tiny cub, frightened, alone, half dead. I had to take care of him.
* AssholeVictim: Peter Campbell, the ObstructiveBureaucrat in charge of the amusement park who gets fatally mauled by the Smilodon.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: West, a local animal breeder who previously faced charges for importing lion cubs, and is currently breeding dogs for dog fighting. While he's not responsible for the Smilodon or covering up its kills, he still pulls a gun on Jenny with full intention of murdering her.
* BuyThemOff: Jenny bribes a trainspotter who witnessed the Smilodon attacking Peter Campbell to stop him from taking the story to the press.
* ClickHello: Cutter finds evidence that Valerie is the one who's been covering up for the Smilodon, and then turns around to find her holding him at gunpoint.
* DisposingOfABody: The team find the corpse of a man who's clearly been mauled to death by the Smilodon, but given how deep the body's buried, that raises another issue...
-->'''Cutter''': The sabretooth might have killed the guy, but it sure as hell didn't dig a trench ten feet deep and bury the body.\\
'''Abby''': Someone knows. Someone's covering up for it.
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: Who'd have thought the ShrinkingViolet would have a sabre-toothed cat at her beck and call?
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: How Valerie justifies covering up her boyfriend's death at the Smilodon's hands; [[ConspiracyTheorist she believes the creature is the result of some manner of horrific experiment]] and doesn't want to see it handed back to the people who created it.
-->'''Cutter''': What are you going to say? That you buried your boyfriend after your pet killed him?\\
'''Valerie''': That was an accident. Dave got careless, he didn't know how to handle him!\\
'''Cutter''': [[SarcasmMode And you do]]?\\
'''Valerie''': He trusts me. I'm the closest thing to a [[MamaBear mother]] he's ever had.
* ItsAllAboutMe: West, an illegal animal breeder who is currently breeding fighting dogs and previously tried to keep lions, begins to go on a rant to Jenny about how "you people" (ostensibly, the government) keep ruining his "livelihood" - said livelihood that is built on exploiting and harming animals and putting people at risk.
* LethallyStupid: Whoever left Connor in charge of keeping an eye out in the park with a gun.
%%* MegaNeko: ''Smilodon''.
* KilledOffScreen: Apparently, the ''Smilodon'' died from overdose of tranquilizers.
* NeverFoundTheBody: We never see the ''Smilodon'' body after its death, though Leek says it was disposed of. [[ForeShadowing There's a reason for this...]]
* OhCrap: Cutter when he realises Valerie has lured the Smilodon to her house with the express intention of [[HeKnowsTooMuch getting rid of him]].
* RedHerring: The local criminal who used to deal in animal smuggling and is clearly breeding fighting dogs seems like an obvious suspect for housing and hiding the Smilodon, but it turns out he's innocent.
* TooDumbToLive:
** Despite being warned that a big cat that has already killed one person is on the loose around his amusement park, Peter Campbell decides to dress up in a lion costume to scare the tourists... and narrowly avoids [[BoomHeadshot getting his head blown off]] by a panicking, trigger happy Connor.
** Jenny has a moment herself, when she decides to go confront West, a local criminal who was previously involved in importing exotic animals into England and who is clearly now breeding dogs for fighting, and essentially tell him he needs to admit to being the one responsible for the big cat attacks or else face criminal charges for breeding fighting dogs (a considerably lesser offence than keeping a ''lion'', especially one that has supposedly led to at least two human deaths). And she does this ''alone''. She's lucky that Stephen, Abby, and Connor arrive in time to prevent him killing her or worse.
* WhamShot: Valerie turns on a light in her house to reveal the ''Smilodon'' curled up in a corner.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Valerie is genuine in her belief that she's protecting the Smilodon, who she believes is the victim of a government genetics experiment who's creators are now here to recapture it and either kill it or perform experiments on it. But she's willing to cover up killings, points a gun at Cutter, and tries to feed him to the Smilodon.
