As the camera pans back to feature a struggle between a mutated Scorpion and a juvenile Komodo Dragon (Indigenous or Invasive??) we see Mark, alone with Cherry, continuing to share “who’s coming to dinner…”

And are we to assume that Doctor Carter (PhD) is the Archaeologist that Rusty referred to on the plane when speaking to Mara?  And speaking of Rusty and Mara, where the heck did they toddle off to?? Not to mention everyone else?  Back to their Mai Tai’s and revelry now that the whale has been saved?

Whoa… Cherry… Do you have a past?  Was Jim a Jilted Lover?  Is the world really that small?
