When they see school teacher Ela's class practicing their Chinese dragon dance in costume, they think the dragon is real. They decide to follow it in hopes of locating the Golden Hammer. Meanwhile, Bob and the team have been tasked with fixing the old school wall. Muck notices an interesting picture on the wall when Lofty demolishes it. Muck and the team manage to restore and uncover a picture of a dragon on the school wall. Spud and Scrambler finally return and on seeing the restored dragon picture on the wall, they follow the direction of the dragon's tongue to a loose brick, another red box and another clue. This time it's a trapezoid on the end of a line; but what does it mean? Scoop's Big Job - Following the latest clue - a trapezoid with a line extending from it Spud and Scrambler start their search at Fixham lighthouse. Bob and the team are also called to a restoration job at Fixham Lighthouse. As there are a lot of big jobs to do, Scoop insists that he can do all the jobs without any help. After a series of accidents, Scoop realizes that he needs to slow down and that others can be a great help with the big jobs. Meanwhile, Spud has managed to switch on the lighthouse lamp and the picture of the clue is actually a bucket at the end of a chain. Spud and Scrambler pull the chain and bucket up from the well where they find another red box and another clue - some sort of box or cube. What does this mean?

The Big Dino Dig Special (Pt. 2)

Rubble and the Seagull Surprise - Bob and the team are building a flying ride at the park. Rubble has been called in to help, although big and strong, he's not very fast. Rubble worries that Bob won't think he's fast enough to be part of the team, and wants to prove he can be! As Rubble zooms over uneven ground, the designs for the flying ride fall out of his cab. Before he can retrieve the plans, a cheeky seagull snatches them! Bob and Wendy encourage Rubble to wait patiently - as they may turn up. But Rubble doesn't think waiting patiently will prove he's fast! Once he's learned that sometimes waiting is the best thing to do, Rubble helps Bob clear everything up. In the process, Rubble discovers a Pterodactyl skeleton! He comes up with a new design for the flying ride - based on Rubble's Pterodactyl! Roley and the Impossible Lump - Roley is flattered when Scratch tells him he thinks he's the best flattener in the world! So flattered, that he becomes determined to live up to Scratch's expectations. Roley thinks Scratch will be disappointed, if he discovers he's not so accomplished after all. Roley finds one bump that is impossible to flatten. Instead of hiding his problem, Roley should have asked for help in the first place. When Bob and the others rally around, Roley discovers the reason the bump is so stubborn - it's the very tip of a triceratops dinosaur skeleton! The triceratops makes the perfect frame for the new slide at the Dinosaur Fun Park and Scratch still thinks Roley is the best!
