- As Pete and Jane travel down Memory Lane, Myka and Claudia find a young woman at the center of several flash disappearances, all beyond sight of any artifact.
- With a flash and a zap, numerous people begin to disappear, leaving only charcoal smudges behind. Warehouse agents discover these disappearances linked to people upsetting Megan Reese. High school classmate and former co-worker, Jeff, has been stalking Megan, and whenever she is confronted by someone, he gets rid of that person. How? Binoculars. By traveling through her memory, Pete and Jane uncover the reasons for the Regent murders: a young boy, Walter Sykes, stripped of the Collodi Bracelet. Set to destroy the Regents, how far will Sykes go to retain his precious bracelet once again?—Anonymous
- Claudia and Myka head to Portland, Oregon, where numerous people begin to flash out of existence, leaving only charcoal "shadows" behind. The agents connect the victims to Megan Reese, whom the victims have all upset, one way or another. How she can accomplish this without an artifact is a mystery. Meanwhile, Pete and Jane use an artifact to explore Jane's memories for leads on the identity of the one targeting Regents.—statmanjeff
- "Warehouse 13" - "Shadows" - Sept. 12, 2011
Pete (Eddie McClintock) is freaking that his mom is a Regent and didn't tell him. She tries to explain. Mrs. Frederic (CCH Pounder) interrupts and says there's no time. She says Artie's research turned up the name A-Z Technologies as their enemy. Jane (Kate Mulgrew)) says she has a bad vibe about that name. Pete freaks. Does he know anything about her? He wonders if the Regents had never been attacked if Jane or Mrs. F -- whose first name is Irene-- ever would've told him. They are silent. He walks away.
We cut to Portland and a man mowing his lawn. HIs wife tells him she'll be back in an hour. She gets in her car. He suddenly vaporizes in a flash of light. She doesn't see this. She wonders why the car won't start. She then sees he is gone.
Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) is all over Artie (Saul Rubinek) about the firing of Steve, Myka (Joanne Kelly) is worried about the security of the Warehouse. Artie silences them and sends them to Portland to investigate the vaporizing case.
Pete stews in his room. Myka swings by. He tries to ignore her solicitations to talk. She can't imagine what he's feeling. He says he feels like an idiot. He never really knew his mother. Myka says he does know her and now she does a little too because of their time in the crumbling building. Jane is a brave woman who loves him very much. He wonders why she didn't tell him, even when he became a Warehouse agent. He wonders if his life has been just part of the bigger Warehouse picture. Myka thought the same when she found out Sam was killed by an artifact, but she wonders if it matters. Pete says it makes a difference to him. Coincidence or dumb luck?
Jane tells Mrs. F she feels guilty about not telling Pete. Mrs. F says she did the right thing. Pete belongs at the Warehouse. Jane raised him for it whether or not she realized it. Jane needs to focus on A-Z Technologies.
In Portland, Myka and Claudia try to work out how the man, Jason Kinzer, disappeared. They check out the T-shirt shop he owned. One artist says Jason was hard to work for. He fired a lot of good artists. At the same time, we see a young man pleading to be let inside an apartment where the windows are covered by pizza boxes. As he gets angrier about being let in, he also vaporizes.
Artie calls Claudia to inform them about the latest vaporization.
Jane wants to go back in her memories to figure out why she knows the name A-Z Technologies. Artie is against it. It's dangerous. She could get trapped in her own memories. He has no other leads. Mrs. F is going to go with her. Pete says he wants to go.
The artifact is two bronzed baby shoes. Mrs. F tells Jane to concentrate on what she wants to remember and the shoe will lead her. She reminds her the urge to stay is sometimes overwhelming. Pete needs to be there to pull her back. They go back to their old house. She realizes before he does. It's the day of his dad's funeral. She apologizes to him.
Back in Portland, the computer programmer's roomie says he was picking up a girl named Megan (Alessandra Torresani) he was dating. She's a former Kinzer employee fired by Jason and lives in the apt. with the pizza boxes over the windows. Myka notices a shadow on a dumpster. It looks familiar. She realizes it looks like the shadows of the bodies of the victims of Hiroshima. Is the artifact might be something nuclear?
She and Claudia bust in to Megan's apartment. She shouts out them she is cursed and they are going to die and to stay away. Myka and Claudia don't die. She shivers and cries. Myka asks for the artifact. She says there's no object, it is her. She says she's cursed, she's a monster. Claudia wants to leave. Myka wants to find the aritifact. Megan is in trouble.
Back in memory land they watch the funeral, including their younger selves. Jane doesn't want to go through it again. Mrs. F was at the funeral. She tells Jane it wasn't an artifact, just a fire. (Petes dad was a firefighter). She extends her condolences and asks her to come back. The Warehoue needs her. Jane says no.
Claudia and Myka search for the artifact. Megan explains the vaporizings started a couple of months ago in Indiana when she was mugged. The guy went poof and then subsequently a boyfriend she argued with. She came to Portland to get away. She did for awhile. Then she rear-ended someone, Kinzer fired her and new boyfriend Brandon got mad at her. They all went poof.
Back in memory land, Mrs. F keeps trying to convince Jane to come back. (Jane mentions Pete's dad was her "one"- the one person who knew about her Regent status). Jane says no. She has a family with kids now. Mrs. F says they need her particular expertise. A child is involved. Jane rebuffs her. Pete is amazed. His mom isn't just a Regent but a super-Regent.
In Portland they decide they need to go t-shirt shop. That is until Megan's harridan of a landlady pisses her off. She gets vaporized. Megan runs away. They split up, Claudia to find Megan, Myka to find the artifact.
Later in the memory, Mrs. F calls again. Jane rushes off to do Regent work. She visits a boy who has an artifact bracelet. His eyes go wonky. As they watch, Pete wonders why this was more important than him at home, why he was left out. She says she couldn't tell him. He wants to know why he couldn'' have been her one after his dad died.
Claudia finds Megan in the cemetery. She can't hurt anyone. Claudia says she lost a good friend recently too. She also has the ability to disappear people from her life including her brother who disappeared into an interdimensional. Megan concedes perhaps Claudia is cursed too. They joke about starting a club: the ten foot pole society. Megan is grateful for someone to talk to.
Myka goes on a nearby roof to look at Megan's building. She notices something silvery on the ground. It's glitter from the T-shirt shop. They realize someone else is doing this, someone who followed her from Indiana. They look at the yearbook and find Jeff McMasters. He was one of the people they interviewed at the t-shirt shop. He is in the background of several of Megan's yearbook photos. She barely remembers him. He's clearly a stalker, willing to kill for her, which means her life is in danger too.
In memory land, Artie and McPherson of 30 years ago recover the artifact from the boy. They hear as young Jane tells Mrs.F it's a good thing since the bracelet would've planted a seed of evil. Present day Jane tells Pete that Mrs. F didn't convince her to come back. Pete's dad did. They jump to another memory. This time it's Pete talking to his dad about death. He says he doesn't want him to be a firefighter anymore. Dad tells him it's a dangerous job and things happen, but he's doing it for his family, because guys like him make a choice to keep the world safe even if that means it takes them away from the people we love. Young Pete says he want to be that kind of guy too. Dad says he already is. Present day Jane says they should go. Pete wants to stay in the memory but she pulls him back. Back in the Warehouse, Pete understands and apologizes. She says she had nothing to do with him becoming an agent, he did that. In fact, she says she was against it. They bicker sweetly.
Back at the T-shirt shop, Megan talks to Jeff. Apparently, she once helped him with some bullies on a field trip. He's loved her ever since. He says he hopes he's been doing the right thing, vaporizing the people who upset her. She assures him he did. She asks how he's doing it. He's about to show her the artifact when Myka and Claudia show up. Jeff freaks out and is mad at her. We learn the artifact is binoculars. There is a struggle. As Jeff is about to shoot the binoculars rays at Megan, Claudia deflects it. It turns out the bincoluars are from the Enola Gay and belonged to the pilot of the plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. The binoculars absorbed the horror of the moment. Myka and Claudia explain to Megan she wasn't cursed. She thanks them.
Back at the Warehouse they search for Coloti's bracelet, the one the boy was wearing. it turns out it belonged to the man who wrote the, apparently much more evil, original Pinocchio and was made of marionette string. It was given to the boy in Jane's memory because it gave him control of his body: made him a "real boy." Walt Sykes was confined to a wheelchair.
We cut to the now grown up Walt (Anthony Michael Hall), who has been behind the attacks on the Regents and potential destruction of the Warehouse. In the memory of Walt Sykes as a little boy playing baseball he had a hat on which said Aztecs, i.e. A-Z Tec-hnologies. (This is how Jane figured it out.)
Marcus (Sasha Roiz) enters and says the the guardian who now wears the shackle--Jane-- is under watch. There is no way to get to her. Sykes says he'll meet up with Jane Latimer soon. He can't wait to meet her son Pete. He tells him to reach out to the recently fired Jinks, thinking he is, as Sally said, vulnerable to joining the dark side. We see Sykes has killed another Regent. The last act of said Regent, according to Sykes, was the passing along of some vital information.
