Clip description
Toby (André de Vanny) and Elizabeth (Bridget Neval) have been zapped and are just discovering their new powers. Toby is suddenly able to understand the science behind DNA sequencing and cloning, and to impress Dina (Saskia Burmeister), he decides to clone a dodo for her. But Elizabeth has her first flash of scientific genius too. She interferes with Toby’s plans, tampering with the genetic material, and ensuring that Russ (Ben Schmideg) collects a tyrannosaurus rex (T-Rex) bone sample instead of the dodo bird sample.
Curator’s notes
Elizabeth now looks very different following the zapping incident. She is also suddenly a lot more confident and in control of what is happening, while Toby is still rather unsure. This clip contrasts their differences, with Elizabeth becoming an amusingly over-the-top, megalomaniacal, formidable foe. The connection between the water from the axolotl tank and the T-Rex bone is confusing at this point but it is vital to the story.
