Here we are at the Warehouse 13 Season 2 Finale: Reset. In the last episode, not much really happened, other than, oh that's right, the devastating betrayal by H.G. Hmm, I can't say that this isn't a huge blow to Myka's Operation: Get Everyone to Like My Girlfriend because, well, it is.
I almost let her get to third base with me!
Reset opens with Myka being woken up by Pete in Warehouse 2, where Pete has already assessed how much danger they are in. Myka takes a few more seconds to clear the cobwebs out of her head, when she remembers what H.G. has done: "H.G., she played us! She played me!" Pete, in a "duh" manner, says, "Oh, big time!" Myka, still hyperfocused on her now ex-girlfriend starts spazzing, "I'll kill her! I...I...I'm going to kill her!" Pete, the calming force for once, makes Myka get a hold of herself and forces her to help them find a way to escape the death trap they have found themselves in.
Pete and Myka summed up in one photo
After Pete's hilarious failed attempt to make a carpet become a "magic carpet" and fly them out of there, Myka discovers the Wings of Daedalus and they place them on Pete. Myka clings to Pete's back like a baby monkey and Pete begins to ascend towards the pyramid's ceiling. When Myka has to grope around in Pete's pants pockets to find the buzzing Farnsworth, Pete begins to laugh at Myka's intimate touching, leading to a wonderful Myka face. Guh, I love them.
Eventually, Artie buzzes them and Myka quickly jumps in, "Artie, listen, I'm really sorry. This is all my fault!" This is the opening stop on Myka's tour of apologies during this episode. She clearly blames herself for all of H.G.'s misdeeds, even though no one, but her, sees it as her fault. Artie ends up saving them and they all head back to the Warehouse to coordinate next steps against H.G.

I wish I had a non-evil girlfriend to speak to
The team tracks H.G.'s whereabouts to Paris, so Pete and Myka head off to France. Before they leave, Pete takes a call with his girlfriend, while Myka glumly sits in the car, still reeling from H.G.'s deception. Oh H.G., why? Look at what you did to Myka.
Pete and Myka arrive in Paris, where H.G. is still steadfastly sticking to Plan: Evil. Myka tells Pete, "First time, shame on her. Second time, I'm bringing that bitch down." Ooooh, feisty Myka. Very sexy. Watch out Wells!
They save a really annoying French lawyer from a wooly mammoth-like death in a tar pit and discover that H.G. has taken something from her daughter's casket. Ewww. Piecing together the objects H.G. has taken, they realize she has put the Minoan trident back together, creating an artifact of mass destruction. Not good.
Pete and Myka hightail it back to the Warehouse to continue the fight. In the meantime, H.G. has sent Pete's girlfriend, Kelly, Lizzie Borden's compact. Again, not nice, H.G.! As Myka and Pete are getting out of the car, Myka, guilt-ridden, says, "You had a lot of vibes about H.G., didn't you?" Pete weakly denies this, to which Myka angrily says, "God, you're a terrible liar." Pete tells Myka that he trusted her and that all of them could have done the same thing with H.G. Myka replies, "Yeah, well, I put the team in danger because I thought I knew better than everyone else." She goes on to say, "There was plenty of doubt from everyone but me." Myka's kinda right about that, but she's still taking it too personally, too hard.
Suddenly, Pete's cell phone rings and on the other end of the line, we hear H.G.'s sultry voice: "Oh good, you've landed. I do hate voicemail." Pete, unfazed, responds loudly to get Myka's attention: "Oh hey, Lady Cuckoo, we were just talking about you." Myka effectively loses her shit, spastically running into the Warehouse to make sure the team is tracking the call. Pete and H.G. share an amusing repartee, taking shots at each other, including H.G.'s "For such a mediocre kisser, I would have thought you would have at least had brains." Pete sasses back, "Yeah, well, you taste about as old as you are, so right back at ya there grandma." H.G. soon drops the bomb about her gift to Kelly and Pete races away to try and save her. Myka and Artie discover H.G.'s intended destination and set off to face her.

Hai bitches!
I changed my Facebook status for you!
We have now arrived to Lesbian Showdown 2010! In one corner, we have the heartbroken and angry Myka Bering, who looks great by the way. In the other corner, the mentally unstable "father" of science fiction, H.G. Wells, sporting a luxurious vest and jacket. Get it on!
As soon as Myka lays eyes on H.G., her rage takes over, "And what could you possibly want that you would go to these lengths? What...money? Power? What?"
Offended, H.G. yells, "Nothing!"
Artie: "Nothing? What do you mean nothing? You obviously know what you're holding."

Artie: "Nothing? What do you mean nothing? You obviously know what you're holding."
Why's Myka being so mean to me?
H.G.: "This isn't a bargaining tool. I intend to use it right here, right now."
Apparently, H.G. is set to plunge the Minoan trident into the earth three times, causing a new ice age and killing millions. Hmmmm...again, this is not a great relationship moment for Bering and Wells.
Myka comments, "So, because you lost your daughter, because you're angry..." Ooooh oooh, we touched on a trigger.
H.G.: "No, don't you dare. This may have begun with Christina's murder, but it's not about that. Yeah, I foolishly believed that if I could find a way to travel through time that things would have improved, a utopia would have emerged, but here we are, over a century later and things have actually gotten worse. The divide between rich and poor, hunger and famine, war and violence and hatred, all flourishing beyond control. Indeed, men have found new ways to kill each other that were inconceivable in my day, even by fiction writers." Okay, so H.G. is in a place of "batshit crazy." The outlook for planet Earth does not seem great right now.
Artie eventually gets tired of the girlfriends fighting, so he just takes out a gun and shoots H.G. in her shoulder. H.G., like the badass she is, stays standing and just says, "You're going to wish you hadn't." Blood starts to gush from Artie's own right shoulder. H.G. is wearing the Corsican Brothers' vest, which transfers the consequences of someone causing pain from the vest-wearer (H.G.) to the pain-causer (Artie). Artie goes down, but maintains consciousness, while H.G. takes her first stab of the trident into the soil.

It's not Bering and Wells without a gun pointing at one of them
Knowing time is running out, Myka picks up the gun, gives a very lesbian scream, and aims it at H.G. H.G. cautions her, "I wouldn't."
Artie, who is perfectly capable of speaking to H.G. himself, whispers to Myka, "Myka, talk to her. Talk to her," as if H.G. cannot hear him. Myka tries to speak rationally to H.G., questioning her motives. H.G. continues to resist and as they both give reciprocal lesbian screams, H.G. plunges the trident into the ground a second time.
Captain Obvious, Artie, whispers to Myka, "Myka, that's two." Thank you for that Artie.

You're being so judgy right now, Myka
Myka: "You are lying to yourself. You never wanted this. If you wanted to kill Pete and me, you would have done it in Warehouse 2 or in Paris, and Artie, you would have let him die in Russia, but you didn't."
H.G.: "I needed you to trust me."
Myka: "No, you needed us to stop you. You wanted us to follow you and stop you. That's why you called Pete this morning. Think Helena! You are so filled with grief and anger, but there is a part of you, I know it, there is some small part of your soul that...that knows that this is wrong, and that part is still alive and it's just pushing to get through."
H.G. shakes her head unconvincingly - the evil ice inside of her beginning to melt. Myka can see H.G. weakening, and she gets closer and closer to her, sensing a chance to get through to her.
Myka: "Yes, that's the part that refuses to kill the very people who could stop you." Her hand closes in on H.G.'s, but H.G. pulls a fast defensive move, grabbing Myka's wrist.
H.G.: "No! Stay away from me." Oh Lawd.
H.G.: "I needed you to trust me."

Hey baby...it's all good

Oh, is it?

I don't wanna
Myka, realizing it's "do or die" time, says, "All right, if I am wrong, then kill me."
She forces her gun into an incredulous H.G.'s hand and points it to her own head. She screams at H.G., "Do it! Kill me now. I mean, we're all going to die anyway right, so what's the difference?" Oh my, but this is an unusually bad breakup.
H.G., clearly uncomfortable, laughs awkwardly. She looks as if she's trying to remember the safe word that she and Myka had picked out. Meanwhile, Artie's just laying there, quietly watching the lesbian drama. If I were him, I would play dead as well.

Myka continues, "Do it! Shoot me! Shoot me now."
H.G. looks at Myka with intense sadness and it's heartbreaking.
Myka: "Kill me, but not like that, not like a coward. I want you to look me in the eyes and take...my...life. Come on, do it! Do it!"
This breaks H.G., and we finally hear a guttural lesbian scream of defeat. She throws the gun down, releases the trident, and is crumpled on the ground weeping, physically and mentally exhausted.

Worst date ever

In the words of Joanne Kelly, she's looking pretty "cleavage-y"

H.G. is quickly escorted away by Warehouse personnel, and Myka, looking really, really gay in another vest-pants combo, keeps her head bowed, not even able to watch H.G. leaving. Regent Kosan commends Pete and Myka: "H.G. Wells was a formidable opponent. She fooled us all." Myka, in a cold, broken tone, responds, "She didn't fool Artie." She kinda did Mykes! Remember at the end of 2.10: Where and When, he called her "Helena" and said she did a good job? Okay, not helping.
Soon, enough, we find out Myka has taken this harder than anyone could have thought. She submits her resignation to Mrs. Frederic, who tries to convince her out of it: "Myka, you can't blame yourself. It could've happened to any one of us." "But it didn't. It happened to me," says Myka. Sad.
Myka departs from the Warehouse, while Mrs. Frederic reads Myka's letter to the team, explaining that she has to go because after her ordeal with H.G., if she stayed, she'd second guess herself to death. Myka tells Pete he's the big brother she's never had, tells Leena to look after everyone, and tells Claudia that she wishes she could see her grow up "into the amazing woman [she's] going to become." (H.G. says a similar sentiment to Claudia in 3.11: Emily Lake). Outside the Warehouse, Myka is having a mini-emotional breakdown before she says goodbye. Pete runs after her, hoping to catch her before she leaves, but by the time he gets outside, her car is down the road, leaving sad, sad Pete in the dust.
