WAREHOUSE 13 “The 40th Floor” Review

WAREHOUSE 13 "The 40th Floor" Season 3 Episode 8 (2)

WAREHOUSE 13 “The 40th Floor” Season 3 Episode 8 – It was a sad day for WAREHOUSE 13. Is Jinks really gone? Is he coming back? Do we blame Frederick for firing him after he pulled a gun on her? Probably not, even though I respect Jinks’ honor.

Last week when we left the agents, they were investigating further into Sally Stukowski and what exactly she wanted with various artifacts. Turns out she’s torturing Regents (the protectors of the Warehouses) for information, but we don’t know what information or why Sally is working for Marcus.

That’s where Frederick steps in. While Artie and Myka are off trying to investigate an address that Sally had on her, Fredrick and Jinks babysit Sally and try to get info from her. but she’s not talking. So, Frederick decides to take matters into her own hands and uses medal that was worn by a Japanese commander in World War II, and starts to torture Sally with it (it has the same effect as waterboarding). It’s not pretty, and Sally does end up singing.

Jinks really doesn’t agree with this form of questioning and points his gun at Frederick. so. yeah. He’s now fired.

Turns out she had a partner working with her – and that partner used an artifact on the very building where Artie and Myka are attempting to save three Regents. Only problem is, the artifact (a spray paint can used on the Berlin Wall) that was used is slowly eating away at the structure of the building. And it’s about to collapse. Jane (a Regent that Myka seems to have a lot of respect for) and Myka end up getting stuck in the building while Artie uses a window washer ledge to get to the ground.

After finding the spray paint can (and trying to take Sally’s partner with them, but he SWALLOWED THE SPRAY PAINT which caused him to burn from the inside out), Claudia and Pete rush back to the building to stop the artifact from bringing the thing crumbling to the ground. It works, and Myka is now safe again.

Then the real surprise happens – she introduces Pete to Jane and when Jane turns to him, Pete looks stunned. And “Mom?” flies out of his mouth.

WHAT? Is it next week yet?!

This was one of the best episodes of Warehouse 13 ever – and felt a LOT like a season finale. I cannot wait for next week!

    Great episode. Tone felt a lot different than some Warehouse 13 episodes. Im now jonesing for next weeks episode!, but way to end the ending on the ‘mom?’ comment.  Pete is in for a world of pain though.. his partner is now friends with his mother….

    I’m all for upping the stakes on W13, but it still has to feel like W13, which this didn’t. The “stuck in the bldg” seemed to go on forever. The car chase/Claudia takes over the GPS scene seemed silly after the 4th or 5h “turn right at the…” That guy was supposed to be some world shaking bad guy, yet he gives up and killls himself w/ the spray can? I don’t buy it. The Myka/Jane scene were pretty good but the repelling down the elevator shaft came off so ridiculous. How did they get in to each 4th floor to get more firehose? I love Claudia and her gadgets but not all of them can be perfect. We have to see some consequence or one of them backfire. The Tesla grenade is cool but it is too convienent if they keep using it over and over. That badge was supposed to be such a destructive torture device, yet that annoying Sally easily resisted. Too much of the Warehouse mythology/inner workings w/ that braclet was revealed. The wheel chair bad guy has to be an ex-regent (with a grudge) in order to know all the other regents whereabouts. Doubt Jinx is really fired. He will end up working for the bad guys (as a double agent for the good guys). Season III has been so uneven. After this 4 ep. arc, there will only be 3 episodes left to recapture the fun/mystery/excellent relationship building that made Season I and 2 such a joy.
