Episode 1.4 is the fourth episode of the first series of Primeval. It was broadcast as Dodo Madness[1] in North America, Verschwörungstheorie (Conspiracy Theory)[2] in Germany and Epidémie (Epidemic)[3] in France.
Back at Tom and Duncan's flat, their Dodo is playing with and biting down on the TV remote in its beak, causing the TV to keep changing channels. This gets on Duncan's nerves, as he is trying to watch Countdown, so Duncan takes the remote from the Dodo. This upsets the Dodo, which reacts aggressively, frightening Duncan into giving it the remote back. When the Dodo's use of biting the remote switches the TV over to a classic dinosaur film, this shock and frightens the Dodo. Suddenly, the Dodo's eyes dilate and turn a bluish colour and it goes into a sudden episode of rage, attacking and destroying the TV. This upsets Duncan, who scolds the Dodo as the creature snaps out of its unnoticed fit of aggression as its eyes return to normal. Tom assures Duncan that the profit they will make by exposing the supposed conspiracy involving the Dodos will allow them to replace their destroyed TV with a plasma screen. Duncan, who is now suspicious and uncertain about the dynamic changes in the Dodo's behaviour, asks Tom what a historical internet article on the Dodo that Tom is reading says about how the Dodos behaved, and Tom informs Duncan that Dodos were supposed to be slow, harmless and trusting. At that moment, the Dodo goes into another one of the sharp episodes of aggression and leaps at Tom, biting him on the arm. This upsets Tom, and Duncan thinks the Dodo is simply getting overexcited. Duncan then leads the Dodo over to his nearby bedroom and locks it inside, then goes over to check Tom's bite. The two see, to Duncan's confusion, that the bite is more like a toothed animal's than any bird's; Tom suspects that the Dodo has been genetically modified by the supposed government conspiracy as a biological weapon, which disgusts Duncan. Tom warns Duncan that the government should never be underestimated, but the two plan to bring down the allegedly corrupt government by exposing the supposed conspiracy with the Dodos. Tom then goes to get the bite bandaged, and Duncan glances back at the destroyed TV.

At Tom and Duncan's flat, Duncan finds Tom on the floor suffering from a severe headache. Duncan then hears their Dodo from the former's bedroom destroying the room and trying to break out the door, and alerts Tom that the Dodo is trying to escape. Tom tells Duncan to keep the Dodo from escaping as it is their only proof of the supposed conspiracy, and Duncan then goes to his room where the Dodo is. As Duncan goes, Tom's headache continues to worsen, and a dark, unusual rash begins to spread from Tom's bite up his arm. Duncan unlocks and cautiously goes into his bedroom, to find the Dodo is in another one of its Parasite-induced episodes of aggression, and is trying to reach and destroy the room's overhead light. Duncan tries to get the Dodo to calm down, but this only alerts the creature to Duncan's presence. The Dodo advances on Duncan to attack him, prompting Duncan to head back out his room and lock the Dodo in. Duncan is growing increasingly worried as the aggressive Dodo tries to break out of the bedroom, and wants to call the police; but Tom is dead against this, as he believes the police will be in on the supposed conspiracy and will experiment on him upon learning that the Dodo bit him. Duncan begins to panic and asks Tom what to do; Tom tries to keep himself calm and carefully think what they should do, as Tom's headache continues to worsen greatly. When the locked-up Dodo manages to break its beak through Duncan's bedroom door and gets closer to breaking out, Duncan instantly decides that he and Tom have to get out of the flat at once, and goes to get Tom up and take him out. However, when Duncan helps Tom get up off the floor, Tom suddenly goes into an animalistic fit and tries to attack and bite Duncan, horrifying Duncan as Tom snaps out of the fit. A stunned and upset Tom tries to apologise to Duncan, but the latter is too shocked and horrified from what just happened to Tom, and flees the flat, leaving Tom behind and alone. A shocked Tom's eyes dilate and turn bluish just as the infected Dodo's had done, as the Parasite's influence takes hold.
At Cutter's study at the Central Metropolitan University, Abby is preparing the dead Dodo for an autopsy, when a shadow appears out in the study and Abby notices. Abby calls out to the unseen person, who asks for proof and for her help, and Abby goes to find that it is Tom who is there. When Tom confirms that it's him, Abby remains quiet and keeps her distance from him. Tom asks if they're being watched, and Abby assures him they're not. Tom then heads over to the dead Dodo, and turns off the study's light so he can remove his hood and sunglasses. Tom demands that Abby telling him what's going on with the Dodos and the Parasite, and when Abby does not answer, Tom snaps at her before getting himself under control. Abby tries to get Tom to relax, but when she's about to come over to him, Tom warns her to keep her distance and that while he can't control it, he will attack her if she gets too close. Tom then begins going into another episode of the Parasite's influence, and demands to know from Abby what's happening to him. A horrified Abby immediately tries to run off.
Back at Cutter's University study, Abby is keeping her distance from Tom, at the other end of the room, and tries to get a scared and non-calm Tom to calm down and relax. Tom asks if he's going to die, and Abby tries to calm Tom and tell him he won't die; but when Abby mentions that "we" won't let Tom die in the process, she unintentionally confirms to Tom that she is indeed part of the secret government team. Tom asks what the Parasite inside him is (believing that the government are incubating it inside him). Abby tells Tom that it's an illness he caught from when the dead Dodo bit him, but Tom, who is now beginning to lose self-control again, does not believe it and thinks that Abby is taking him for a fool. Tom then begins to calm himself down again, and asks Abby to just tell him the truth about the Parasite and what the secret government operation is. Abby asks Tom to let her get him medical aid, but Tom thinks that then the government will just put another Parasite in him. Tom then briefly loses control and goes into another episode of the Parasite-induced aggression, and pounces at Abby and grabs her but then gets back under control. Tom accuses Abby and the supposed government conspiracy of being evil and corrupt, and he deems the dead Dodo proof of the alleged conspiracy; proof that he will need to expose the secret government operation to the public. Abby then tells Tom the truth that he is infected with a Parasite, which Tom does not believe, and Abby tries to coerce Tom into letting her call someone to get the Parasite removed. But this enrages Tom and causes him to throw Abby to the floor and threaten to bite her to pass the Parasite onto her. Abby then resorts to agreeing to show Tom all of the truth about what the secret government project is and where the Parasite really came from, and Tom gets himself back under control and releases Abby.
The site of the false alarm due to the escaped python was the Dorset Estate, Bethnal Green. This is the second location to be filmed in Bethnal Green this series, the first being the Boundary Estate in Episode 1.2. The football stadium that Helen brings Nick Cutter and his team to was filmed at the Den Stadium in London. The Spaghetti Junction anomaly is the only anomaly this series where the landscape on the other side was not filmed in La Palma. The Home Office (original timeline) returns this episode. The exterior of the building was shot at the Parthenon EY building, Southbank, and the interior was filmed in Victoria House.
Alec wakes up in the hospital. Becca Fisher is there. She says she found him on the floor of his hotel room and called an ambulance, telling them that she was his wife so they'd let her come along. Alec begs her not to tell anyone of his episode, fearful that they will take him off the case if they find out.
Anywho, you have an unsympathetic victim and a weird murder plot. And then you have a shoehorned secondary bomb plot that likely only existed to pad run time. Which is a shame, since, absent the bomb, the episode might have something a little more nuanced to say about mental illness.
