Warehouse 13 Season 4, Episode 10: We All Fall Down

Artie’s Dark Side has taken over and in his determination to get the astrolabe to undo what he did to save the Warehouse, he’s set off on a plan to find the Chinese orchid responsible for the sweating sickness… a disease that could kill millions. As the team sets out after him, he seems constantly one step ahead, and when they find him in Germany, all seems to be lost.

Artifacts in this Episode:

Francesco Borgia’s Dagger – Will release anything when stabbed by the dagger as the wielder says the phrase “I cast you out”

Isaac Parker’s Noose – When activated (by swinging it over a rafter) everyone in the room, save for the wearer will be strung up, as if from a noose, the cord will constrict, slowly strangling those affected.

Chinese Orchid – The Source of the English Sweating Sickness. It was held in an impenetrable Container beneath Warehouse 8 for centuries.

Yogi Raj Bengali’s Snake Basket – A cobra appears from the smoke issued by the basket.

My Thoughts:

It’s always difficult to watch when a person you don’t want hurt is the bad guy, when you know they’re influenced by something beyond their control and that they would never have done the things they’ve done or are doing if they hadn’t been affected. It’s even worse when you know that the cause of this influence is something that had to be done for the good of all. Those sacrifices are the ones that hurt the most.

It should be interesting to see what comes of Leena’s death. If she’ll be a specter that haunts the warehouse from now on, or if she really is gone. I’ve always really enjoyed Leena’s character and so I’m really pulling for her to somehow remain a part of the show.

This week, they called this episode the Season Finale… last week they called it the Midseason Finale… Either way, it doesn’t look like more episodes of this will be around until 2013. If this is the season finale, it will be the second time they’ve ended on an apocalyptic note which is a little sad, if I’m honest. This whole season has felt like one downer after the next.
