WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Season 4, now streaming on Netflix.
Season 4 of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous finds Darius and his crew marooned on a new, mysterious island as they try to avoid dinosaurs, as well as the shady Kash -- a Mantah Corp operative who's running sinister projects. He's using drones, robots known as BRADs and mind-control chips to assert dominance, but luckily, the heroes throw off his plans. However, it's a mere delay with a shocking villain coming to light at the very end, so let's dissect how a Season 5 has been set up.
Kenji Has Tough Choices To Make
It turns out, the Mantah Corp boss is Kenji's dad, Daniel Kon. The final shot had him and Kash holding the teens hostage, with Daniel shocked to see his kid alive as he thought he died on Isla Nublar. Season 5 will surely focus on if Daniel wants to repair their broken relationship or if he's content to imprison them and move forward with his experiments.
Mantah Corp wants to keep making dinosaurs and controlling them for fights in a gladiator arena, so Kenji can either try to bring his father back to the light, or burn his empire down. It's hinted Daniel did love him in the past, so it'll be an intriguing family dynamic. There's also the chance Daniel tempts Kenji to the dark side, which will test Kenji's newfound love with Brooklynn. She has daddy issues too and a lot of neglect in her past, so she'll have to be Kenji's rock for the emotional trip to come, which will test their romance.
Kash Will Use Mae To Complete His Goal
Mae's the scientist who made communications breakthroughs to speak to the dinos. Kash thought he killed her, going on to use her research to make mind-control chips but the process is flawed still. Kash could now force Mae to perfect the tech so he and Daniel can fully brainwash dinosaurs for the arena.
Kash has no limits and is willing to kill the creatures and kids, so we can see him and Daniel holding the innocents as leverage. Mae does see the crew as her own so this motherly love for the teens will easily be used against her. If Kash is successful, it'll be scary as he has T-Rexes, a Dilophosaurus pack and even a Carnotaurus in his lair he can turn into an army. Given he's got the new BRAD bots too, Kash will surely intimidate Mae more into being compliant.
More Hybrids Can Run Wild in Camp Cretaceous Season 5
Daniel can also convince Kash to chip the Spinosaurus to use as a puppet-monster in their business endeavors. We know they've used the triceratops and Spinosaurus hybrid DNA stolen from Site A to make the Spinoceratops species, but there are many doors where other older, more vicious hybrids could reside. This would give Mantah the ultimate army and hit their financial targets.
If there are things like power failures or Darius' teens open all the cells to scupper this plan, the others can escape too. And if they're not chipped, this would mean these apex predators can go after everyone to truly create the most chaotic, dangerous island in these biomes, thus having Daniel's plan backfire worse than the other islands.
Darius' Dad Has To Save The Day
Darius managed to sneak a call through to his dad, Frederick, so we can see him tracking it down and coming for Darius. He may be able to bring a cavalry on the search, but either way, as he tries to rescue the kids, it won't be easy. There are many hidden biomes, apart from the jungles, deserts or snowy landscapes, so there will be a lot of treacherous environments to traverse.
Frederick would also have to carefully look after them as they're mentally breaking. Sam's struggling with how Mantah blackmailed her and made her a corporate spy; Ben's depressed over seeing young dinosaurs die or get separated, like Bumpy; and Yaz has PTSD after all their escapades. Thus, Frederick's task would be even tougher as it's finally hitting the kids that they're not as invincible as they once thought.
