The solving of the chess lock leads to the Sanctum starting to shake violently and a bright orange light piercing through the Warehouse. Sykes gives orders to bad guy Marcus to shoot a canonball from Black Bart's cannon towards the Warehouse. Just as the cannonball is about to make contact, a force field of sorts appears, protecting the Warehouse. The only issue is that as long as the Warehouse senses danger, the protective barrier stays active, keeping danger out, but also keeping anything inside the barrier trapped as well. Will someone please pass me the anxiety meds now?

While Sykes is distracted, Pete smartly knocks H.G.'s gun out of her hand, but Sykes turns his Hoveround in time to use the riding crop on the Petester. Sykes has Pete Tesla Myka and H.G., leading to them falling on top of each other (and this wonderful tweet/picture). Yeah, I'm good with all of that. Sykes then makes his way through a now open portal to the Warehouse, dragging Pete along with him. Once they cross the threshold into the Warehouse, Pete is forced to close the portal, leaving Myka and H.G. stuck on the other side in Hong Kong. This also is fine with me. Bering and Wells - safe and sound, a continent away, and alone together. Yes, there's some ambiance issues (bloody axe overhead, pile of skeletons), but we can work around it. |
What a lucky wall

Shiz, of course, occurs on the other side of the portal in the Warehouse, but what do I care? Bering and Wells is in the Sanctum.
Myka stands at the now closed portal, trying to figure out how to reopen it so the ladies can join the fray. She mumbles to herself, "There's gotta be another way to open this. I just have to think."

Myka: Can you feel me now?

H.G. sits in the chair of death (why?), looking at Myka with a frown on her face. Softly, she says, "Myka, I'm sorry." Walking back to the chess table, Myka suspiciously inquires, "About what?" H.G.: "You should have destroyed the Janus coin the moment you found it, then I wouldn't have caused all of this." Myka's jaw tightens, and as she continues to put chess pieces back on the board, she responds, "I wish that you would stop doing that." |
Sounding very British, H.G.: "Doing what?"
Myka, in frustration: "You're not the bad guy, okay? I believed in you and I was right, so get off your...your cross, and help me figure this out." (ZOMG, squee) H.G., enjoying when Myka insists on being the top, reacts with a surprised smirk.
As if that wasn't enough to make one die of cuteness and feels for this couple, H.G. responds in amusement, "Righty-ho then. Old times. Wells and Bering, solving puzzles, saving the day."

Cutting off H.G., Myka corrects, "Bering and Wells," and on this day, a ship name is born from the lips of one of the couple's own characters. What a truly glorious event in this fandom's universe. Jo bless. Making the moment even more overwhelmingly mind-exploding, H.G. responds in a feigned look of disapproval, making Myka do this:
Seriously, you could throw a bag of puppies and giggling Asian babies at me and I wouldn't find it remotely cute in comparison to Myka's face right there. (FYI - please don't put puppies or giggling Asian babies in a bag.) It's so much that I usually need to take a bit of a breather to recover before returning to the episode. In fact, let's do that now.
And we're back. Apparently, Warehouse 13 does continue on even without Bering and Well's presence (what? why?), and big meanie Sykes has acquired the Collodi bracelet, allowing him to walk. In retribution for Regent Lattimer's role in Sykes' perceived

victimization, he forces Pete to hold a gun to his own head. Before he has Pete end his own life, out of nowhere*, resident badass, Myka, Teslas the crap out of the newly standing Sykes, while H.G. looks on like a proud girlfriend. Myka really is the top in this relationship - awesome.
Pete gets to escape with his life and everyone scatters throughout the Warehouse as if they are playing a scary game of hide-and-go-seek. After Myka's life-saving zapping, the Mary Celeste Pulley Block and rope that H.G. encountered on her first day at Warehouse 12 apparently has been waiting for its chance to entangle H.G. That's exactly what it does, grabbing her from behind and beginning its serpentine strangle. H.G. gasps, "Myka," resulting in an adorable run-and-stop move from Myka. |
Ain't nobody f***ing with my clique
|
Myka runs back to H.G.'s side to assess the situation and try and get her girlfriend free from the deadly artifact. She tells H.G. to "hold on," and her hands get dangerously close to H.G.'s body, which means she's also getting dangerously close to the rigging rope. Oh Myka, H.G.'s body must have its own siren's song that only you can hear.
Myka: Maybe if I just grab your breasts...
|
You guys, just a little bit closer...come on!
|
Myka: Am I the only one turned on by this?
|
H.G. tries to warn Myka: "No, Myka don't!" But it's too late. The rope grabs on to Myka and pulls her right into H.G. I kinda like this rope.
Showing there's always time to engage in a couple-y back and forth, Myka says with effort, "'Touch the rope' I imagine is the rest of that sentence." H.G. gives her a look of, "Uh...yeah!"
While H.G. remains relatively calm, Myka struggles with the rope, leading H.G. to caution her: "If you pull at it, it only gets tighter." Myka growls out, "That's good to know." Suddenly, Artie appears from behind the shelf with neutralizer at the ready and soon enough, the ropes loosen and the women are free. H.G. places a gentle hand on Myka's back and the women are off in their complementary leather jackets to save the Warehouse.
To be honest, if you watch this scene with mute on, you'll notice a lot of "sex faces" coming from both H.G. and Myka and it seems a bit soft porn-y. So, what I'm saying is - watch this with mute on.

Myka: I swear I heard angels singing at one point
*It is never exactly explained how Myka and H.G. got out of the Sanctum to rejoin the team and save Pete's life. The last we saw of them, they were putting the pieces of the chess game back on the board, so perhaps they tried to reactivate the chess lock, won the game, and reopened the portal. Or they had sex in the Sanctum, which was so incredibly hot, it melted the portal's wall, reopening access between the Sanctum and the Warehouse. Both seem plausible.
