Terra Nova is an American science fiction drama television series created by Kelly Marcel and Craig Silverstein for Fox, who serve as executive producers alongside Steven Spielberg, Peter Chernin, Brannon Braga and Jon Cassar. The series begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth is threatened with extinction. In an effort to save the human race, scientists discover a time fracture allowing people to travel 85 million years back in time to prehistoric Earth in an alternative timeline. The Shannon family, father Jim (Jason O'Mara), his wife Elisabeth (Shelley Conn), and their three children Josh (Landon Liboiron), Maddy (Naomi Scott) and Zoe (Alana Mansour) join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first human colony on the other side of the temporal doorway.

In 2149, policeman Jim Shannon is sentenced to six years in prison for assaulting a Population Control officer after Jim and his wife Elisabeth were discovered to have a third child when families are now restricted to two. Two years into Jim's sentence, Elisabeth is recruited to travel 85 million years back in time with the Tenth Pilgrimage to Terra Nova (a prehistoric colony that is attempting to reinvent the past for a better future) albeit with the necessity to co-exist with dinosaurs. With only teenagers Josh and Maddy allowed to go with her, Elisabeth helps Jim escape from prison so that he and their five-year-old daughter, Zoe, can accompany the family into the past. Once in Terra Nova, Jim meets Commander Nathaniel Taylor, who, displeased by Jim's arrival, assigns him to work in the agriculture group. Meanwhile Josh meets a group of rebellious, though independent, teens, including a girl named Skye, while Elizabeth starts treating patients in the medical center.
1b"Genesis (Part 2)"Alex GravesBrannon Braga & David FurySeptember 26, 2011 (2011-09-26)1ASW029.22[1]
The enemy group called the Sixers is introduced. The Sixers arrived during the Sixth Pilgrimage, but for unknown reasons, they oppose Terra Nova's existence. After their hidden cache of weapons was found, the group broke away, forming a rival colony. When Carter, a captured Sixer, escapes and attempts to assassinate Commander Taylor, Jim subdues him, resulting in Taylor assigning Jim to his security team. The Sixers, led by Mira, arrive at Terra Nova to negotiate a trade: Carter and medical supplies in exchange for meteoric ore. Meanwhile, Skye and her friends invite Josh on a secret excursion into the jungle where they keep an alcohol still. At a waterfall, Skye shows Josh some unusual rock carvings, but requests he tell no one about them. The teens are stranded after Sixers steal their vehicle's power cells, and a pack of slashers (a common name for the fictional acceraptors) suddenly attack. Tasha panics and runs off, and Hunter and Max are injured, leaving Josh and Skye to fend off the vicious creatures. Jim, Taylor, and a rescue team find Tasha, and arrive in time to save the others. Back in Terra Nova, Josh and Jim reconcile their differences. Taylor inquires if Skye and the others went to the waterfall, though Skye claims they did not. Later, Mira and Carter inspect the strange rock carvings, which Mira says are part of a plan.
2"Instinct"Jon CassarRené Echevarria & Brannon BragaOctober 3, 2011 (2011-10-03)1ASW038.73[2]
When a previously unknown species of pterosaur start appearing en masse, it is discovered that Terra Nova was built on their breeding ground. A search is underway for a way to stop them attacking the colony. Also, Jim discovers that Elisabeth's former college flame, Dr. Malcolm Wallace, now in Terra Nova, may have recruited her, apparently expecting Jim would still be incarcerated back in 2149. Josh spends more time with Skye, but misses his girlfriend, Kara and the band mates he left behind. Maddy asks Jim for some fatherly advice about boys after Mark Reynolds shows an interest in her.
3"What Remains"Nelson McCormickBrynn MaloneOctober 10, 2011 (2011-10-10)1ASW057.00[3]
While investigating the sudden radio silence at a nearby research outpost, Elisabeth, Jim, Malcolm, and Commander Taylor discover that a mysterious and fatal virus causing severe memory loss and catatonia has infected the staff there. Only Jim remains uninfected, as Elisabeth races to find a cure while she is still cognizant. Also, more is learned about Commander Taylor's past in Somalia. Josh and Skye are romantically attracted, but Josh quickly ends the budding relationship, telling Skye he wants to get his girlfriend, Kara, to Terra Nova. Skye introduces Josh to bar owner Tom Boylan, who may be able to help Josh get Kara to Terra Nova on a future pilgrimage, but for a high price. Later, Boylan is seen negotiating with the Sixers.
4"The Runaway"Jon CassarBarbara MarshallOctober 17, 2011 (2011-10-17)1ASW068.31[4]
When an orphaned "Sixer" girl named Leah Marcos (Morgana Davies) seeks asylum in Terra Nova, Jim and Taylor disagree over whether she can be trusted. Taylor also suspects a traitor is in his midst. Meanwhile, Mira plots to regain a valued possession, and later reveals more to Jim about why Terra Nova was actually established. Also, Reynolds confesses his feeling towards Maddy.
5"Bylaw"Nelson McCormickPaul GrellongOctober 31, 2011 (2011-10-31)1ASW046.59[5]
After security operative Ken Foster is killed at a utility outpost by a nykoraptor trapped inside the shed, Jim suspects it was not accidental, and begins investigating the colony's first murder. A suspect named Howard Milner readily admits he killed Foster, and Taylor banishes him from the colony. Jim soon comes to doubt Milner's confession, believing he was protecting his wife, who had an affair with the victim that ended badly. Meanwhile, Josh starts working at Tom Boylan's bar, but Boylan says there is now an even higher price for reuniting Josh with Kara. Later, Josh and Skye secretly meet with Mira to discuss getting Kara to Terra Nova. Elsewhere, Elisabeth and Zoe try to save an unborn Ankylosaurus. When Curran, a soldier is proven to have killed Foster over gambling debts, Taylor banishes him.
6"Nightfall"Jon CassarTerry Matalas & Travis FickettNovember 7, 2011 (2011-11-07)1ASW077.75[6]
An exploding meteor generates an electromagnetic pulse that destroys all technology in and around Terra Nova, leaving the colony vulnerable. Jim and Zoe, trapped in an underground "eye" that acts as a holographic encyclopedia and simulator, search for a way out. While on their first date, Maddy and Reynolds become stranded outside the fence and, unable to make it back to Terra Nova on foot before nightfall, must evade predators. In the medical center, Skye assists Elisabeth in treating Hunter, who is infected with a deadly parasite. During the procedure, Hunter expresses his true feelings for Skye, even though he knows she has fallen for Josh. Taylor forces Tom Boylan to repair the universal chip maker that can restore all technology. Taking advantage of the crisis, Mira and the Sixers attack Terra Nova by herding an empirosaurus (a fictional subspecies of the spinosaurus) to the colony in a successful bid to retrieve the mysterious box. In a surprising twist, Boylan saves Taylor's life by shooting a Sixer. Later, Mira delivers the recovered box, a type of computer, to Lucas Taylor, Commander Taylor's son, who is able to open it.
7"Proof"Bryan SpicerDavid Graziano & Brynn MaloneNovember 14, 2011 (2011-11-14)1ASW087.01[7]
Josh strikes a deal with the Sixers to bring Kara, to Terra Nova on the next pilgrimage, but Mira demands that he first steal antibiotics from the medical center using his mother's identity card. Meanwhile, Maddy suspects that Dr. Ken Horton (Robert Coleby), a renowned scientist who has just returned from a long research mission, may be harboring a secret about himself. After she uncovers evidence that may prove Horton is actually Andrew Fickett, a research assistant who killed the real Horton to assume his identity, Fickett kidnaps and attempts to murder Maddy with a venomous spider. Upon being tipped off by Zoe, Jim saves Maddy. While in the jungle, Commander Taylor encounters Curran (the banished soldier who murdered Foster) and offers him a deal after saving him from an ancestral Komodo dragon: he can return to the colony if he successfully infiltrates the Sixer's camp and uncovers Mira's spy in Terra Nova. After Josh tells his parents that he stole the meds, Jim confronts Boylan about the Sixers, and learns that Mira can communicate with 2149.
8"Vs."Bryan SpicerJose MolinaNovember 21, 2011 (2011-11-21)1ASW096.50[8]
Boylan, confused and under duress after being interrogated in jail, mistakes Jim for Taylor and begins rambling about a body buried in the jungle. Jim unearths a skeleton by the banyan tree Taylor lived in when he first arrived in Terra Nova. Jim investigates this as an old murder case that Commander Taylor may have committed. Meanwhile, Mark Reynolds and other soldiers on a convoy in the jungle are ambushed by Sixers, who the spy apparently tipped off. The colony celebrates the Harvest Festival, in which Zoe stars in a play commemorating Commander Taylor's arrival in Terra Nova. The play reveals an unexpected clue to the murder. Also, Malcolm discovers how the Sixer spy inside Terra Nova communicates with Mira, but it creates an improbable trail leading to the Shannon house. Taylor stages a possible false arrest of Jim, after Jim refuses Taylor's request to drop the murder investigation. While Jim is in custody, Taylor reveals the dark truth to him about the 2149 leaders' real intent for Terra Nova: upon Taylor and his son Lucas' arrival to Terra Nova, Lucas invented a "bridge" to and from the future. After learning that Lucas was working for a corporation that was intending to strip the new world's resources, reaping huge profits, Taylor destroyed Lucas' work. Lucas summoned his father's superior General Philbrick to Terra Nova to relieve Taylor of command. When Taylor refused to step down in order to protect Terra Nova, he was forced to shoot the general in self-defense, then, assisted by Boylan, buried the body.
9"Now You See Me"Karen GaviolaPaul GrellongNovember 28, 2011 (2011-11-28)1ASW107.19[9]
Mira captures Taylor as he inspects Lucas' most recent rock carvings next to a river, but Taylor soon subdues her. Their situation changes rapidly, however, when two slashers stalk them. As Taylor and Mira join forces to evade the vicious predators, Mira shares more about herself and her motives to Taylor and also gives him information about Lucas. Meanwhile, a morse code signal is observed being sent to and from the Sixers and someone inside Terra Nova. Jim and Reynolds nearly capture the person sending it from the colony, but the mole (revealed to be Skye) barely escapes. Elisabeth starts decoding the DNA from a blood drop Jim found, but Skye, interning at the clinic, destroys the sample. Elisabeth can still determine that it is a female's blood, narrowing the search to 47 suspects. When Skye secretly delivers something to Mira, it is revealed that Skye's mother, Deborah, believed to have died from sincyllic fever, is being kept alive by the Sixers in exchange for Skye's cooperation. Also, Reynolds declares his intentions about Maddy to Jim. The Ankylosaur hatchling that Zoe has been caring for is growing rapidly and will soon be too old to adapt to the wild, forcing Zoe to face a difficult situation.
10"Within"Karen GaviolaBarbara MarshallDecember 12, 2011 (2011-12-12)1ASW116.88[10]
Jim and Taylor confront Skye as the Sixer mole, though she claims her only motive was to save her mother, not betray the colony, nor did she ever provide vital information to Mira. Skye warns them that Lucas has successfully completed his calculations to reverse the time portal, and that his 2149 employers will invade and exploit Terra Nova. Taylor, expecting a full-on attack with the 11th pilgrimage's arrival in a few days, begins planning Terra Nova's defense. Skye is reunited with her mother after Taylor ordered Curran, the banished soldier who infiltrated Mira's camp, to rescue her from the Sixers. Terra Nova's medical staff is optimistic that her condition will improve once they synthesize the medication the Sixers were using to keep her alive.
11a"Occupation"Jon CassarBrynn Malone & Barbara MarshallDecember 19, 2011 (2011-12-19)1ASW127.24[11]
In part one of the two-part season finale, the 11th pilgrimage arrives, though only a few new colonists, including Kara, emerge. Kara and Jim embrace each other with gratitude before a suicide bomber appears and sets off an explosion. Jim Shannon is injured. Jim awakens three days later, only to learn that mercenaries called the Phoenix Group have captured Terra Nova. Cut off from Taylor, Lt. Washington surrendered the colony to save lives. When Jim confronts Josh, Josh, crying, admits that Kara was killed by the bomb, and blames himself saying that if he hadn't gone through all this trouble, Kara would have still been alive. Harsh martial law is imposed, while Taylor and his forces remain isolated in the jungle. Weaver, Lucas Taylor's superior from 2149, orders the mercenaries to start stripping the new world's resources using pyrosonic bombs that will decimate half the continent and its wildlife, just as soon as Malcolm, forced into service, finishes assembling the two-way portal. Taylor locates the test bomb and Reilly disarms it, enraging Lucas. Meanwhile, Jim, Washington, and other colonists have been coordinating with Taylor in waging guerilla warfare against the Phoenix Group. Josh, working at Boylan's bar to gather intelligence from boozed-up soldiers, loses control and physically attacks Lucas after Lucas' unwanted attention towards Skye. As Josh is being beaten half to death until bleeding and disoriented, Skye runs for help, and Jim rushes back to protect his son. While defending Josh, both Jim and Josh are incarcerated, but Josh is freed due to Skye's influence. Lucas plans on torturing Jim for information, but Josh flips out and shouts, "Don't touch him!" which Lucas of course, ignores. Elisabeth then coerces Weaver to get Jim released. Once Jim is released from the brig, Josh supports his father out of the clinic while the family meets up to escape from Terra Nova. Mira, meanwhile, has been sent to the badlands to retrieve an unknown item. In Terra Nova, Lt. Washington sacrifices herself to create a diversion as the Shannon family escapes the colony to join Commander Taylor. Lucas executes Washington as Taylor and Jim helplessly watch from the trees.
11b"Resistance"Jon CassarTerry Matalas & Travis FickettDecember 19, 2011 (2011-12-19)1ASW137.24[11]
In the second half of the two-part season finale, Commander Taylor, grieving Lt. Washington's death, is comforted by Zoe telling him about the things Washington had taught her. Jim and Taylor continue disrupting the Phoenix Group's operations, but the damaged terminus has been repaired, and the first shipment of new world resources are readied for transport to 2149. Jim relays Washington's final message to Taylor about Cù Lao Chàm, an island they once fought on; Taylor realizes that the bridge to 2149 must be destroyed from inside Hope Plaza to halt further enemy invasion into Terra Nova. Meanwhile, Skye, who deceived Lucas into believing she has joined his side, accompanies him on the Phoenix convoy, then tricks him into an ambush. Lucas escapes, then nearly kills Taylor, but is shot by Skye. Although it appeared Lucas was dead, Skye discovers he has disappeared. Taylor swaps the captured shipping container with one concealing Jim, the bomb, and a drugged carnotaurus. Taylor's soldiers, disguised as the mercenaries, deliver it to the terminus. Once inside Hope Plaza, the now-awake, raging carnotaurus is let loose, killing Weaver and his associates. Jim detonates the bomb, destroying the facility, and barely makes it safely back to Terra Nova. Cut off from 2149, the Phoenix Group and the Sixers evacuate Terra Nova and head for the badlands. The mysterious cargo that was discovered there is revealed to be an 18th century ship's prow and figurehead, with no clues as to how it arrived in Terra Nova or what is in the badlands.
