Lila: Not really the same as her dad being here.

best warehouse 13 episode yet

Considering the show has been on hiatus for a few months, and wont continue again until summer this Christmas special was a surprise. I would usually only rate warehouse13 as a series a 6.5/10 with occasional episodes (such as when they tie in Eureka) around a 7.5/10 but this episode was just great! Along with being a surprise it was both heart warming and did a great job of sticking to the principles of the show. Kudos Warehouse 13! I hope future episodes will be a good!
