Warehouse 13 is back on Syfy tonight at 10p and it picks up exactly where it left off. That means it starts with Artie’s life in flux after being stabbed by Claudia. So is the rest of the world now that orchid denigrated and it is spreading the Sweating Sickness killer plague.
It is up to the now leaderless agents to save the day. So while Myka and Pete try to save the world, Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) and Jinks (Aaron Ashmore) will try to save a comatose Artie (Saul Rubinek).
Myka (Joanne Kelly) and Pete (Eddie McClintock) discover that a Count from the 18th century used to be able to bring flowers back to life, so they are going to talk to a professor at Columbia University who knows all about him to see what he knows. Maybe he might be able to help them find the artifact that can bring that orchid back to life ending the spread of the killer plague. The professor, played by James Marsters, has a secret that will change everything for Myka and Pete and set up things for the rest of the season. I won’t tell you what it is, but I will tell you that Buffy fans that you are going to love Marsters on the show because he speaks with a British accent like Spike!
Now when it comes to Claudia and Jinks, they use an artifact that will get them inside Artie’s brain and try to wake him up. Once inside, they find out he doesn’t want them there. Will they be able to break through his barriers or will we get a new head of Warehouse 13, which might not even matter if Pete and Myka can’t bring that orchid back to life.
You will just have to tune in to find out!
And you must tune in to see Eddie McClintock really let loose and have even more fun as Pete Lattimer. Even though he will be giving us some of his great improved, perfectly-time, one-liners, tonight’s episode is a little more on the serious than the others because of the subject matters. So I asked him what it is like to do such an intense episode last week at the NBCU Summer Press Day. He told me, “Since we are kind of a light show, doing the dark stuff is a welcome change. We never lose sight of the fact that we like to have fun as well.” And they do both in this exciting season premiere on Syfy at 9p.
