Myka and Pete are sent to St Louis to investigate an explosion at a police station; the official story is that it was a gas explosion but the bodies indicate something else. As they search the building's previously sealed basement they find a room containing a body. It turns out to be the remains of a former Warehouse 13 agent who disappeared in the early sixties. Luckily it is Warehouse policy to preserve the accommodation of any agent who dies mysteriously or disappears so it is possible to track down the man's girlfriend. The deaths in the police station aren't the last; it turns out that an artefact is involved; an ancient Saracen weapon that attaches itself to people's spines and channels their anger to electrocute people. Dealing with it will but out protagonists in grave danger.
This was a rather fun episode; I liked the nature of the artefact and I especially liked how it reminded us that the Warehouse has been operating for a long time with the mention of old agents and talk of records going back two hundred years. There is a good sense of threat; even though nobody will think Pete will really die one can't help be concerned towards the end. Having Claudia in the Warehouse has made the scenes there much more interesting; Allison Scagliotti and Saul Rubinek have some great scenes together as Claudia and Artie. The special effects are pretty good; particularly the holograms created from photographs taken by Myka. Overall I wouldn't say this was the best episode but it was still lots of fun.
