Warehouse 13: No Pain, No Gain Review Part 1

 
     Wow! This episode was great in my opinion! So much better than last week's episode! Doesn't even compare! Where to begin? Each story line has something interesting and I enjoyed every part of it. Even the obvious pregnancy thing. Didn't see it coming but should have. You'll see what I mean if you read further! High fives all around for team Warehouse 13! Yay!

     The episodes starts off brilliantly. We are in Kyoto, Japan with a gentlemen who is trying to sell a dangerous feather-like artifact or something. We have Myka and Claudia undercover as I believe Geishas.. Myka stops the trade with a handy little windmill thingy that makes colorful, windy dots come out of it! They capture the artifact but before they head home Myka's sister calls and we learn that her sister is pregnant! Good for Myka's sister! The two girls head home!

      At the warehouse Artie is watching hockey which surprises Pete who makes some jokes about it. Right here was when I felt right at home with the show. Their interactions this time felt right and not at all forced. Whoever wrote and directed this one did a great job on this scene. The girls come in all giddy from their adventure and Artie all serious about the artifact. Myka is holding a huge teddy bear obviously meant for her soon-to-be niece or nephew. A few more enjoyable jokes where Artie gets a new nickname. Artie says they have a ping. A hockey player broke his arm but continues to play like it's nothing plus slamming another player through the glass and into the audience. It's artifact catching time for Pete and Myka! This time it's quite a good one too! Myka leaves the huge bear behind and we get a cute moment with Artie hugging the bear. Who should appear then but Claudia of course and here comes another bear joke from the gal! "Awww. He's so cute and fluffy and the bear is too!" Earlier in another episode Claudia made jokes about Artie comparing him to Winnie the Pooh and now another bear joke about Artie. These are so cute and sweet. Are the writers doing this for emotional means? Are we suppose to feel this connection between Artie and Claudia even stronger than normal this year? Well, I think so! This could be just a sweet ongoing joke but will it be more in the end? Just have to wait and see. Claudia mentions she's not been feeling well and not herself. This triggers another fright from Artie and also the too often used flash forward of Claudia stabbing Artie with the dagger. Artie gives Claudia a letter which is from Mrs. Fredrick. So it's a night on the town or should I say day on the town with Mrs. F!

     Pete and Myka head to a Toronto hockey game bypassing some crazed fan who gives Pete some cookies to give to their suspect. Inside the stadium Myka meets hockey dude who is a little too cocky for his own good. Myka feels some sparkage at first but later argues like mad with this guy. We find out Myka was pre-med which seems a little too convenient to me. Was this mentioned in her background before? Maybe it was but I don't remember. Hockey Dude has major breaks in his arm, legs, and ribs but someone or something has been cluing him together and quite carelessly it seems. The arguing between Myka and Hockey Dude escalates so much that Pete makes jokes about him being the sassy side kick in a romantic comedy. Very funny! Myka and Hockey Dude do kiss just before the game and this enrages crazy cookie making fan lady with car keys! Uh oh! Hmmm. Pete is in the crowd checking out the crowd and their belongings. The duo believe the artifact they're looking for might belong to a fan. Pete takes hold of cookie fan lady's keys while looking at a little boy. Suddenly, Myka is pregnant! Remember when Myka found out her sister was pregnant? I should have known this would come back. Why else mention it but it didn't occur to me that it would come back like this. It was funny and it brought out some emotions for the duo which were really sweet.
