Full Recap
The web series begins when Trailer leads Pete to accidentally trigger an artifact--a model of Warehouse 13, created by Nikola Tesla, M.C. Escher, and Thomas Edison--which causes the intire Warehouse, and everyone inside, to turn into a diorama, known as the origonal Warehouse 13. The first Warehouse 13 burned down many years ago, but the model is a representation of what the first Warehouse 13 looked like ("but more 3D," according to Artie).
The agents decide they'll go find the model and neutralize it so that the Warehouse will return to normal. That's when Artie remembers that the first Warehouse 13 was powered by three different energy sources: hydroelectricity, wind power, and sisemic force. Artie tells them they won't be able to neutralize the artifact in time, so they must shut down the power sources first. Leena, Claudia, and Trailer take the Prius to the Anubis Shrine (the pyramaid) to shut down the sisemic force. Leena takes Trailer into the Anubis Shrine and rearranges the crystals inside so that they are balanced, and the sismic force won't cause any more earthquakes. Just then, the other two energy sources "come back online."
Leena and Trailer go to find the artifact while Claudia and Artie go to the Neutralizer Processing Center (the Gooery) to shut down the hydroelectric power source. Meanwhile, Pete and Myka go to shut down the windmill (the wind power).
When Claudia and Artie arrive at the Gooery, it's almost completely flooded with neutralizer. Claudia dives into it to shut it down, but in the process she nearly gets herself sucked down the drain along with the neutralizer. Artie manages to save her, though.
Meanwhile, Pete and Myka work on shutting down the windmill. It's blowing objects off the ground, though, and the wind is strong enough to blow the agents away. Pete then announces that he has a plan and he lets the wind carry him away.
Artifacts Featured
- Original Warehouse 13" Diorama: Transforms the warehouse into a two-dimensional version of the original version of itself.
- Don Quixote's Lance: Properties unknown. Contained in Miguel de Cervantes' Windmill.
- Lumière Brothers' Cinematograph: The train that it projects actually becomes real, crashing into anything in its path.
- Miguel de Cervantes' Windmill: Produces gale-force winds. Was one of three artifact power sources used to power the Warehouse in its original design.
- Anubis Shrine: provides seismic force to power the original warehouse 13. It's located on top of the pyramid and harnesses the vibrations of green molderite crystals. In order to function properly the crystals must be carefully balanced, if not, it will cause massive earthquakes.
- Peppermill: Has the power to disintegrate solid matter.
- Lehmen Fornax: Main heating System of the Warehouse.
