Warehouse 13: No Pain, No Gain Review Part 2

     Meanwhile, as Pete and Myka's adventure continues Artie is all worried back at the warehouse and Jinks can tell that something is up. Remember, he is our "can tell when anyone is lying guy." I'm also a fan of Once Upon a Time and make reviews for that series too. One of the main characters in that series also can tell when someone is lying. That would be Emma Swan. Wasn't there a series called Lie to Me which was all about a man who could tell if someone was lying? What? Did that series rub off on all the writers? Why do we have to have a human lie detector in every show now? Guess cause it makes the story telling easier somehow. Don't have to plug them up to a machine to find out. Just sit these people in front of them. Yep, he's lying! No, possibility they could be wrong. Riiiiight. Anyway, Jinks knows Artie is hiding something. He and Trailer (the cutest dog ever) follow Artie to more of those missing artifacts. Artie confesses to Jinks that someone is stealing only the artifacts that Artie himself has snagged. They're on the trail! Someone stole a riffle that was part of a set. They only stole the one Artie brought to the warehouse so Artie uses Jinks to find the other riffle still in the warehouse. It reveals the whereabouts of it's partner and the two are off to find the stolen merchandise.

                             It's Warehouse Fantastic Muggles Studies for Claudia this week!

     Claudia's field trip with Mrs. F finds her in town looking through windows. A particular one in a store where a woman throws herself in front of a baby to save the babe from being shot. The woman is shot in the shoulder and Claudia notices that the woman's bracelet shimmers for a second. She's just witnessed the creation of an artifact. How interesting are these turn of events. I don't know if I like that the writers can now  say anyone can make an artifact. Usually, it's only been famous people and historical characters who are connected to an artifact. Now any regular Joe can make one. That's cool but this also makes me wonder if the writers are running out of ideas in how to connect historical characters and such to artifacts. Are they possibly becoming a little lazy in that department now? Case in point we do have another artifact from the past coming back for a second time in the very next episode (Alice in Wonderland's Mirror). Hope not. I love the parts where we learn about who is connected to what and how. It's fun when it's people we know from history or entertainment. I think there is plenty of untapped history to use and twist to their own means! That's one of the best parts about Warehouse 13. Claudia could feel that there was something up with the woman before she protected the child. So Claudia is to one day become the next Mrs. Fredrick right? We already know that Mrs. F already knows something is wrong with Artie and we all saw that grey streak in her hair right? What if Claudia will soon be able to tell something is wrong with Artie? Maybe the flashes Artie sees is really Claudia somehow trying to save him. This is Warehouse 13 people! That dagger may not kill Artie but it might just help him somehow.

     Pete and a nine month pregnant Myka track down the crazy cookie fan lady to her grandfather's house where she has kidnapped Hockey Dude. He in pain because she's wish broken the bones in his legs. Pete lays a Tesla on Myka's tummy and sneaks inside. Fan Lady sees him outside, grabs an ax and captures Myka who dropped the Tesla and couldn't pick it back up. You know...pregnant. Fan Lady holds the keys which have her grandfather's dog tags on them and wishes that Pete's lungs collapse and that he stopped breathing. This artifact only works on people you love because the dog tags were charged by Fan Lady's grandfather during a war. He was urging his fellow war buddy on so it doesn't work on Pete because Fan Lady doesn't love him. Pete grabs the keys from the lady and deactivates it. No more pregnant Myka and we have one former hockey player in monumental pain in the house. Later Pete explains to Myka why the artifact didn't work on him and basically says he loves her! Awww. How sweet and awkward was that moment?! I don't how we're suppose to take this really. The relationship between these two has been a love between friends and now we have Pete saying that he'd like to start a family someday and Myka seems to be the only choice for him because she's the only one who would understand all this craziness he's been through. Hmmm. It's still sweet in an awkward way but since when has Pete NOT been awkward when it comes to the mushy stuff with Myka? lol!

     Artie and Jinks track down all the stolen artifacts but not before Jinks almost is shot by the wild riffle artifacts. Artie doesn't think much about it at first because Jinks is connected with the metro thing artifact which wouldn't let him die. Jinks lets it slip to Artie it would hurt Claudia though. First Myka, now Artie. Boy, Jinks can't keep a secret! This calms Artie down somewhat because it explains why Claudia hasn't felt like herself in a while. It doesn't mean she wants to kill Artie. Hmmm. He worries for Claudia but seems to worry more for himself. Is Artie changing?

     Mrs. F takes Claudia on one more little field trip to visit her grandson in an old folk's home. Mrs. F is really old which we've gathered that about her a long time back! Welcome to your future Claudia! You sure you want to live such a life? We end with a strange scene with Pete looking at a baby and Myka looking at him. Oookay. What are we to understand about that? Are these two going to get closer in the future or what? Oh, and did I mention the fact that H. G. is still nowhere to be found?! Are those rumors that she's getting her own spin-off show true? Hmmm. The End...for this week.

I WILL be rooting for more episodes like this in the future! Warehouse 13, you rock!  :D
