Featured review
Pete and Myka travel back to 1961 to solve a cold case
This episode opens in 1961 with a woman being chased along a suburban pavement; she approaches a hooded figure who uses an unseen artefact that turns her into glass! Cutting to the present we learn the couple chasing the woman were Warehouse agent Rebecca St. Clair and her partner Jack when she turns up asking for help. She got a letter from the presumed killer thanking her; she has no idea why as both herself and her partner had no memory of the twenty two hours around the time the man vanished. That time tells H. G. Wells that somebody used her time machine... a devise that lets the users occupy another's mind for twenty two hours. While Artie is away Pete and Myka use the machine in an attempt to identify the artefact.
This episode was a lot of fun; the scenes set in the 1961 nicely captured the feel of the era while also providing an interesting mystery. It was good to see Roberta Maxwell return as Rebecca; a character that appeared in the season one episode 'Burnout'. A sense of urgency was given to proceedings when a power failure stops the machine functioning correctly; if it is unfixed Pete and Myka's personalities will be lost when the twenty two hours is over. There a few enjoyable twists before episodes poignant conclusion. Inevitably the episode isn't entirely serious; there are quite a few good humorous moments. The special effects are impressive; especially in the scenes were the artefact is used to turn people to glass. Away from the main story, but not totally unrelated to it we learn more about H. G. Wells past. Overall a really good episode.
