Continued from Page 4 of Bering and Wells Episode 4.15: Instinct
We find out Christina 2.0 has been kidnapped by the bad guys, and they're demanding the artifact in exchange for her safe return. I'm kinda fine with her being kidnapped, but H.G. isn't, and therefore Myka isn't either. Beard storms off in a huff, after telling them

all to just hand over the artifact. Bro, you'd never make it as a Warehouse agent. Pete rushes after him, basically just to clear the room for Myka and H.G.
Myka, concern written all over her face, looks at H.G. and gently starts, "Helena..." H.G. turns around, cutting her off: "Myka, you were right. You warned me." Myka: "About what?" H.G., spinning in her own self-loathing and fear: "I can't have a normal life. I was being foolish. Selfish. How can I bring anything but misery to..." Myka, stopping H.G. from herself, interrupts, "No! No, that isn't what I meant...Helena!" |
H.G. starts walking past her and Myka tries to grab her and hold her, but H.G. recoils. When she pulls away from Myka's touch, Myka just stands there, hands balled up, scared of what to do.

H.G. turns around, saying, "Myka, I know what I am. I just can't sit here! I know what I have to do." She walks off out of the house, preparing to go after the bad guys in her own way. Myka, completely and utterly broken, watches her leave, knowing H.G. is in a place where she can't be reached, physically or mentally.
God, this is terrible. I'm recapping tragedy and this sucks.
Myka turns around and seeing the artifact and the cell phone that the kidnappers were planning to contact, it's pretty obvious what she's going to do. H.G. meanwhile goes into the garage and retrieves her Tesla from a hidden Mr. and Mrs. Smith-like compartment she had built. While she's doing this, Beard comes out and seeing her do her battle prep, he asks her, "Who are you?" I think the only person who knows that answer at this point is Myka. H.G. tells Beard she will explain when the situation is over.
A loud noise comes from the street and Pete and Myka's vehicle careens out of the driveway, speeding away. Poor, poor Pete runs out of the house on his cell phone, yelling, "Hey, hey, Myka! Where ya going?" Myka, remember how you left him running

after you in 2.12: Reset? Go easy on the driving off without the Petester; it's a vulnerable spot for him!
Myka: "I can handle Briggs. Just stay with Helena and Beard and make sure they don't follow me." Pete, the rational one for once: "No. No. What, what, are you nuts?! Just wait for us!" Similar to when Pete told Myka to wait for him until she went to see H.G. in 3.11: Emily Lake, Myka is not listening, explaining, "This is my fault. I dragged her into this. I'll get Christina 2.0 back. It'll be okay." She abruptly ends the call and throws the cell phone aside. Uh, ladies - Myka and H.G. - you both look nuts! I know love makes you crazy, but the wheels are coming off of the bus here guys. Oh, and there goes the engine. Yes, I still kinda love that Myka goes off on her own to prevent H.G. from doing the |

same, but come on, no reason not to include good ole' Pete. Both H.G. and Myka are making this entire situation intensely personal, refusing to let anyone else even participate.
Pete, H.G., and Beard return to the house and eventually figure out where Myka is heading. They rush off to go help her, but Myka has already gone into the scariest camping supplies store ever to confront the baddies. Myka has the artifact in hand and tells Briggs she just wants to take Christina 2.0 home. While she's saying this, she slowly reaches for the gun holstered in the back waist of her pants. Before she grabs her gun, a red laser is pointing straight into her back from the other bad guy's gun scope. He tells her, "Reach for your gun slowly and slide it over to me." Annnnnd this is why Pete should have come.
She gets wrapped into a discussion with the bad dudes and when she senses that they are distracted, she begins her badassery like the thug she is. She knocks the poo out of both guys and runs off to find Christina 2.0.

Pete: So, when you say "love Myka," you mean like "love love" Myka right?
Awkward couple Pete and H.G. bust into the store and H.G. tells Pete that Briggs is hers. He tugs on her jacket and says, "No killing. Myka will be super pissed." Aw, Pete, I just love you so much. H.G. gives a sigh and an eye roll that can be seen from

space before beginning the hunt for Briggs.
It doesn't take long to find him, and when she does, she whips the ever-living shit out of this bro. Whoa. Together, Bering and Wells could conquer whole continents. So badass. Where's Beard? Oh, that's right, he's sitting at home...probably whining. After H.G. steps over Briggs' body (still alive), she sees Myka and whisper-yells, "Myka!" H.G runs over to her, grabbing her by the wrists, asking, "Are you okay?" See...there we are H.G. I've missed you. Myka, deflecting concern from herself, replies, "I'm all right. Listen, Christina 2.0 is in the back room. I think that you should be the one to go get her." Myka, you are the best girlfriend ever. |
H.G. gives Myka her special Tesla (awww), telling her, "Take care of this for me, will you?" H.G. gently wraps Myka's hand around the Tesla and Myka wishes her "good luck" before the two immediately head out to perform their separate tasks. They seriously

look like an old married Warehouse agent couple who have been doing missions together for years. It makes my heart ache.
Myka finds an artifact-ed Pete and Teslas the bad D.A. to the ground. She throws the artifact into the neutralizer bag and Pete's cute mug is saved from a quite unpleasant Neanderthal motif, complete with unibrow. H.G. comes upon Christina 2.0 in the back room, and upon their reunion, she tells her to call her "Helena." Who is the only other person who calls her that? You know who. Das right. Pete's face is intact; Christina 2.0 is alive; and the day is saved once again by Bering and Wells (and Lattimer). |
H.G.: Marry me, Myka Ophelia Bering! Right here, right now.
Myka: Uh, babes, we're kinda in the middle of shiz going down |
