Warehouse 13 Season 3, Episode 10: Insatiable

Ithaca New York may be the breeding grounds of a zombie plague. As Myka and Pete race of to find the artifact causing it, Claudia deals with her grief at Steve’s departure, meets a new boy and has a run in with an artifact in the warehouse that predicts her death. Burned by the department, Jinks finds himself in a bar, unable to pay his tab, and is helped by Marcus Diamond who offers him a chance at revenge on Mrs. Fredric and the Warehouse.

Artifacts shown in this episode:

Sallah The Soothsaying Sultan – A fortune telling booth that hypnotizes the person affected and leaves them with feelins of extreme dread. Actively ingorning the predictions counteracts them.

Albert Butz’s Eyeglasses – Once worn by the inventor of the thermostat, the glasses raise a person’s body temperature.

Eau de Vie Faucet – Water engulfs the nearest living person, drowning them (if counteracted, leaves the individual completely Dry. Counteracted by electric shock, as Leena snaps the water and deactivates it.

Donner Party Jar – Putting money in the jar causes you to experience the same conditions as those unfortunate souls in the Donner party, namely freezing to death and cannibalistic urges.

My Thoughts:

This whole Jinks going over to the dark side plot line is strange. I don’t like it. It doesn’t feel like something his character would do, and that bothers me. I’m sure it’ll have a underlying point as the season progresses, but I’m still a little thrown by it.

For someone as freaked out about Zombies… Pete jumps to some conclusions pretty fast. I mean, as a person who lives in a house with well over 80 zombie flicks, I wansn’t sure why he was so hell bent on the Zombie tract, but whatever.

The burrito truck as the source was pretty obvious, but that might just be me, and I called the Tip jar as soon as Myka started to show the side effects. I’m not sure why, at one point, Pete says everyone effected is too far gone to talk… since Myka is standing right there, able to talk. And it’d make a lot more sense to have back tracked her first.
