When a Toronto hockey player displays amazing recuperative powers, Myka and Pete go to find out what artifact he’s got up his sleeve, but as their search turns its focus on his fans, Myka is suddenly (and ridiculously) pregnant, and it looks like the fan has intentions of forcing the player to love her.
Claudia joins Mrs. Fredrick for lunch, but witnesses the birth of an Artifact, as a woman saves a baby during a jewelry heist gone wrong. But reveals the downside of the warehouse caretaker’s longevity as they visit her grandson in a retirement home.
Steve and Artie track down a large cache of the missing items using the Hatfield gun to draw them to the McCoys’ and when he’s shot at, divulges the nature of the metronome’s effect on Claudia to Artie. Artie says he’ll handle telling the others about the breach, and Steve finds shipping material that suggests the cache does not hold all the artifacts that were stolen.
Artifacts in this Episode:
Emperor Jimmu’s Feather – Looking at the feather induces insanity and eventually death.
Primo Levi’s Scarf – Gives the wearer deep insight and heightens their intellect. Wearer is prone to extreme dizzy spells and susceptible to dangerous falls.
Hatfield and McCoy Rifles – The two rifles pull each other toward the other. Looking through the site of one will show you through the sight of the other. They will fire on each other if in visual range.
John Giltoy’s Dog Tags – Imbued with the will to make things happened after John helped his friend survive the Bataan Death March during WWII, they fulfill wishes for the holder directed toward the one they love.
My Thoughts:
This episode definitely has a “Misery” feel toward the end, as the crazed fan undoes her whish of healing on Mike’s knees, crippling him so he can’t run away.
Moments like the one where Myka ends up inexplicably pregnant are the reason this show is so funny. But on that note, I do not think that Pete and Myka should ever get romantic or procreate.
I really appreciate the appearance of Timothy Omundson (Psych). He’s got the “I’m suspicious” look down, deflecting suspicion on him quite easily. I do love characters that evoke a specific feeling (Weasely, or that seem to scream “I’M THE BAD GUY” at you and then aren’t – well, at least not as much as you might have thought.)
Jinks secret is unraveling very quickly, and I like that his secret’s revelation and Arties are so closely entwined… not because they’re caused or effected by the other… but because deceit is a sticky web that tangles more easily than we’d like.
