He and the dinosaurs go to Dino World, where Harry decides to do his best to become the dirtiest, stinkest boy ever.

They soon create a colossal mess and then Harry decides to dump the stuff from his room in Dino World. Patsy warns that it will all end in tears, but Harry goes ahead with the plan anyway.

Harry joins Taury, who managed to hang on and they head to Dino World to search for their lost friends. The two find themselves in a submarine and begin their search.
