When Dale enters the laboratory, he is attacked by a giant claw, but escapes. While Dale and Martha return to headquarters, the others take a different route to the bottom of the pit through caves along the beach. Later, the others find Martha, and Jim calls to them from the pit to tell them he has a broken leg. Jim decides to descend to the bottom via a rope, but loses his grip when an earthquake strikes, causing him to fall to the bottom as Martha faints. Outside, Martha bumps into Jim, who has also been summoned, and together they follow the voice to the newly formed pit. That night, Martha is awakened by a voice identifying itself as McLean and begging for help. When they return to the surface and head back to the laboratory, Karl and Jim show them a fifty-foot-deep cave-in on the trail they had taken to the beach. The next day, Martha, a marine biology expert, begins her underwater studies and is joined by boyfriend Dale. In the team's laboratory, Karl reads the journal and learns that McLean had noted a possible increase in size of the island's creatures due to atomic radiation.
