Warehouse 13 (TV Series) Around the Bend (2010) User Reviews

Best Episode of Season 2 (so far anyway)

[rwk2 · 8/10 · 23 August 2010]

Great plot, stellar acting, guest star, another appearance by the Regents, this episode has it all! Pete really shines in this one as he descends into madness and by the end it's really an edge-of-your seat viewing. Mrs. Fredericks and Valta are also out of the ordinary noteworthy. They're both consistently good but they step up their game here. Same can be said for Myka and Artie too. Now that I really think about it, the editing team deserves a lot of the credit for cutting this all together so it's believable. I had kinda heard about the plot before watching it and I was STILL surprised by the twists and turns. A really fun episode.

Pete keeps secrets in this twisty-turny episode

[Tweekums · 8/10 · 18 October 2018]

As this episode opens Pete and Myka are in a museum investigating the theft of a walking stick that can cause earthquakes. While there Pete annoys Myka by fiddling with the various exhibits. He then gives chase to the thief but is surprised to bump into Mrs Fredric outside the museum; she orders him to let the thief get away and not tell the others she was there. Back at the warehouse they are surprised to find Benedict Valda, one of the Regents, he explains that there is suspicion concerning the running of the Warehouse. Pete and Myka return to the museum and shortly afterwards Pete sees the thief with Varda. He contacts an old friend in the local Secret Service to investigate him but things soon get dangerous; he threatens to kill Pete and his colleagues... but is anything quite how it seems?

I thought this was a really fun episode; the opening is amusing with Pete being his usual silly self, quickly turns mysterious with Mrs Fredric's telling him to drop the chase then menacing when Varda turns up at the Warehouse. The tension builds nicely till the episode's midpoint then we get a sudden twist that changes just about everything... saying any more about that would spoil it though. Eddie McClintock does a fine job as Pete takes centre stage; he manages the comedy and darker moments with equal aplomb. We also get fun turns from Mark Sheppard occasional character Varda and Tia Carrere as Pete's old friend Agent Kate Logan. Overall I really enjoyed this episode although I can understand if some viewers don't like the big twist.

The team is investigating the theft of a walking stick which causes earthquakes. While Pete is chasing the culprit, Mrs. Frederic's car pulls up along side him. She tells Pete that there is a traitor in their midst and he needs to find out who it is. He gets in touch with an old flame, Agent Kate Logan (wonderfully played by Tia Carrere). The warehouse team members become suspicious of one another and Pete becomes increasingly isolated and frantic. The plot twists are surprising and many. A key element is the appearance of Regent Valda - what is he? Good guy or bad guy? It becomes a intense search for an unknown and dangerous artifact. A suspenseful and interesting episode.

Pete just wants to have fun.Training-spaiming.

So Pete and Myka are in a MUSEUM full of old things related to history but Pete, a highly trained Secret Service agent once assigned to the Presidential unit, just can't keep from playing with everything in sight. One of these objects gets him in trouble(whammied)and the rest of the episode is the consequences of his play. This is the most unbelievable aspect of the Pete character, his childishness. Acts such as blowing up his cheeks on the glass case, playing with potentially dangerous objects and his constant, annoying speech patterns of a 12 year old is completely out of character for the Secret Service. I've been around this agency and I can guarantee you they never even crack a hint of a smile. The Presidential detail is the biggest tight-ass of them all. This episode was extremely confusing and frankly just plain stupid. How this can follow a gem like 13.1 is beyond me.
