The reason for the Warehouse’s computer slowdown is discovered, and they realize Sykes was hacking into the grid to find something. But Pete’s mother won’t tell them what. In an act of defiance, Pete and Myka go to the address Claudia’s decrypted from the file and find H. G. Wells, but her memory has been completely wiped and she now thinks she’s Emily Lake, a high school English teacher.
Steve and the seemingly un-killable Marcus (pete throws him of a fifth floor balcony and the guy walks away from it) arrive and steal Emily Lake away from them.
The regents have stored her past consciousness in the Janus coin, and that Sykes can reunite H G to her body with the coin. They race to the regent vault (a grocery mart) and get the coin, where Pete realizes they have to destroy the coin to keep Sykes from getting her back together.
Pete’s attempt to destroy the coin is interrupted and Jinks chases after Claudia – seemingly intent on killing her – to retrieve the coin. Claudia finds out that Jinks is actually undercover, working for the Warehouse to discover Sykes’ end game.
Unfortunately, Jinks dies when Sykes has him injected with something to make it look like a heart attack. And Pete and Myka have to get past their grief and head to Hong Kong to find the regent Sanctum.
Using the riding crop to control H G, Sykes gets the door between the warehouse and the sanctum open and goes through, controlling pete, he gets the colloid bracelet again. He’s killed as he chases Pete’s mother through the portal back to the sanctum and they find a bomb in his wheelchair.
Artifacts in these Episodes:
James MacPherson’s Pocket Watch – (Unknown at this point)
Tyler Struhl’s Nanites – Miniscule, self-replicating robots used to hack into the Warhouse computers.
Janus Coin – Tears a person’s psyche in two, removing the past and leaving the mind available to a new future.
Cecil B. DeMille’s Riding Crop – Gives the user control over another’s actions. Forecefully imposes the user’s will on the victim. (Does not affect their mind)
Chaturanga’s Chess Lock – An impossible puzzle that serves as the only way to open the door between the regent’s sanctum and the Warehouse.
Black Barty’s Cannon – The cannonball fired from this cannon has an augmented amount of firepower.
Collodi Bracelet – Give’s the wearer control over their body, but plants a seed of darkness in them.
Pulley Block from the Mary Celeste – The rope attacks and strangles anyone who touches it, tightening if you pull at it.
Johann Maelzel’s Metronome – the beat is capable of resurrecting the dead and keeping them alive, so long as the metronome still beats.
Piece of Masonry from House of Commons – Imbued with the concussive force of the Blitzkrieg, when attached to a bomb, it is essentially an Artifact Nuclear Device.
My thoughts:
Not an artifact, but really cool looking: The Tesla Rifle!
Just because Marcus’s heart is kept beating by a metronome… doesn’t mean he should be able to heal broken bones like they’re nothing. That doesn’t follow for me – he shouldn’t have walked away from that drop, crawled, maybe.
I want more of the Pete Cave, also, when did Pete get a Castle Murder Board?
There are a lot of things that felt rushed in these episodes, but as an end to the season, I wasn’t disappointed. It certainly went out with a bang.
Welcome to the cliff hanger: With the warehouse destroyed and so many of the principle cast going with it, we can only assume that the first episode of Season 4 will reverse the effects somehow.
