Last night’s episode, “Breakdown,” was a classic Warehouse 13 formula of adventure, tension and high risk of danger. The Syfy Channel continues to produce episodes that are serious enough to keep your attention and lighthearted enough to keep coming back for more.
Pete, Myka and Claudia find themselves trapped in the huge warehouse because of a malfunction with a vacuum cleaner of all things. This leads to a series of events that cause the Neutralizer Dispersal System to go offline. The dispersal pumps a type of “antifreeze” throughout the warehouse keeping the artifacts’ supernatural powers from going wild.
Claudia falls into a house where every door leads you back into the house. A weird and funny twist with the always dangerous undertone that comes with Warehouse 13 because she risks being trapped in this house forever.
Turns out that there was a painting controlling the room and the team had to tear a hole in the picture in order to tear a hole in the house to get to freedom. There are very clever bits of twist and intrigue with that scene.
While all this is going on Artie is called in to have a meeting with the Regents, who are considering firing him for his constant breaking of the warehouse rules and safeguards in his pursuit of his once close friend, and now arch rival James MacPherson.
The Regents have a tenuous relationships with the US government and don’t like the fact that Artie called in a high level government agent to aid him on a particularly difficult and dangerous assignment, an assignment involving MacPherson.
MacPherson was once a warehouse agent as well, who has since gone rogue. Considering he knows as much about the warehouse and its supernatural artifacts as Artie himself it makes MacPherson very dangerous.
By the show’s end the regents decide that Artie is the best man for the task of capturing MacPherson and he keeps his job and seemingly is given permission to bend the rules a bit in order to remove the threat of his arch rival.
