Wow! Great ending to the mid season of Warehouse 13. Some little bits here and there that bothered me and it really didn't have some of the same punch as the episode before it but it sure did deliver in what it was suggesting all season. Sad to see such a prominent figure of the show taking a turn for the worse. A little confusion at the ending and do we always have to end with a possible end of the world scenario?! Oh well, great series as a whole and sooo do not want to wait until 2013 to see what happens next but I guess we all have to.
The dynamic duo finally make there way into the warehouse after their adventures with their family members from last episode. Pete has another strong vibe that something isn't right. Myka sees there's a problem in the Dark Vault and the Bronzing Section. Pete goes to the Dark Vault while Myka takes the Bronzing Section. We all know that Myka will be having a worse revelation than Pete who finds the Dark Vault in complete shambles. Careful Pete of that baby doll. So creepy! Myka calls him to come immediately to the Bronzing Section. She has found Leena who is dead. Tears and disbelief at the fact that Artie has shot Leena. Mrs. Fredrick is distraught about something she promised Leena. I wonder what that was about. We don't learn anymore about that info because Claudia arrives and wonders what is going on. Later we see an upset Claudia who can't believe that the group is giving up on Artie. She can't believe that this is really Artie. He must be wammyed like the rest of them at one point. Pete sees Lena's ghost and wonders what that is about. Poor Pete and his crying almost made me cry.
Pete's visions of Leena proves to the a great help. She leads him to a drawer with hidden info about the dagger that Artie has been dreaming about all series. Later Brother Adrian reads from a book that says using the astrolabe will cause an evil side of the user to take control of their good side. So now we must save Artie from his dark self. The middle of the episode was fast (with all the talking and such) but a little slow and kind of drifted until we find out about another artifact that Artie is going after. He wants the dagger that he has been dreaming of Claudia using to kill him so he can use it to break open a dangerous flower that causes a sweating sickness. He wants to use this flower as blackmail so the group will give him the astrolabe. It hurts to see the group having to treat Artie like another villain to capture.
Pete and Myka go to find the dagger while Claudia and Jinks journey to find the flower. Claudia has learned that Artie was afraid of her stabbing him and she wants to be as far away from the dagger as possible. The duo find the knife but just as Artie arrives in the same place! They try to talk to him but THE EVIL has control of him . He hurts Pete by hitting a soft spot (his drinking problem, acting like a kid, and death of his father). Then he throws a noose up on a rafter and everyone in the room is suddenly hanging by imaginary ropes! He uses another artifact to get rid of the glass from the display case that is holding the knife. Now Artie has the dagger so off to the flower. He leaves the duo the rest of the crowd hanging.
Claudia and Jinks search the former Warehouse 8 for the flower but it is empty with only one clue. A bridge symbol. They put it together that the flower was taken to another place for safety during WW2. Artie has beaten them to the location. He seems to hypnotize one of the family members who are guarding the flower and uses the other two who tag along. He has told them the others who are after him are not to be trusted. When the gang get there at the mill where the flower is hidden, Claudia tries to reach out to Artie who for just a brief moment can be seen within THE EVIL's eyes. Artie then signals to the family guardians to use the tiny cymbal artifact we've seen McPherson use in the past. This stops the gang long enough for Artie and his group to enter the mill.
One of the three family guardians gets tesla-ed and now there are two more. Jinks and Claudia have a big fight with the last two. This gives Claudia some time to joke about the woman she's fighting. Funny. Later Pete finds Artie and fights him while Myka helps Jinks put down his man. Jinks and Myka find the dangerous plague flower hidden behind a wall which opens sort of like how the library of the Brothers of the Black Diamond opened. Speaking of the Brothers of the Black Diamond, who is still wary of Brother Adrian? Even though he is helping the good side he is still not a very pleasant man. I hate saying that because I LOVE Data and will forever. lol!
Anyway, Jinks takes the flower out of its hiding place and suggests that they keep it there. Yes, Jinks! Keep it hidden! They should have never took it out! Oh well, they do and Artie appears just in time with a gun to Pete's head demanding the flower or he will kill Pete. He also wants the dagger which Myka still has. In a climatic moment Myka throws the dagger into the grinder! That's when the commercials came on where I'm at! Wow! What a tease! Imagine if this was where they ended the mid season finale?! So many angry fans I'd be hearing out there I'm sure. Well, we have five minutes of goodness left and amazingly Artie doesn't kill Pete. He just uses the stopping time watch and takes what he wants from Jinks and walks down to the grinder and reaches for the dagger just as time begins to start again. Now Artie has BOTH artifacts and does exactly what everyone thought he'd do while Claudia has appeared to watch. This makes him drop the dagger. Claudia picks it up believing the dagger will cast THE EVIL out of Artie. She runs to him and stabs him just like in his dreams. This is such a sad moment. We get to hear Claudia saying she's so sorry and I believe the real Artie saying it's okay while Claudia hugs her Pooh bear. Why don't you break our hearts writers?! To make matters worse this has caused Artie to drop the flower. Pete tries to catch it before it hits the ground but it hits his hand and spreads the sickness into everyone. Even Artie who may or may not be dying at that moment. We won't be able to know that till 2013! Ugh. The plague moves out of the mill and apparently all over the world!
Wow, another end of the world thing happening! Too many have been done and will we be back next season having yet ANOTHER?! Come on! Sometimes the end of one person's world is good enough. Also, great job writers and SyFy for fooling us with last week's next time scenes. I mentioned in my last review that it looked like something was coming out of Artie. I thought maybe that was THE EVIL coming out of him but nooo it's a sickness going INTO him! My bad! lol! I still love this series and if I'm still here a-ticking by April of next year I will tune in to see the ending to this amazing season of Warehouse 13 in 2013! BRING IT ON!!! :D
