I’m rather embarrassed to admit that it had me chuckling throughout. While I can see the connection to the romantic entanglements theme of the main plot, the “fun with artifacts” B-plot with Pete, Myka, and Jinks was so ridiculous it was borderline awful. When you look at me, you see me.” Eeeee! (That’s Claudia’s squee of happiness!) I’ll be looking forward to more stories with Artie and Dr. This young girl, she lives inside me somewhere, but … you know, she’s just a small part of me now. “When Hugo looks at me, he sees this girl. I really loved the sweet irony that Hugo’s drawing and his past with Vanessa were what led Artie to step aside, but were also the very reasons she wanted to pursue something with Artie. Yea! It was very nice to see Artie win the day and get the girl, especially after his selfless willingness to sacrifice his own happiness for Vanessa’s and Hugo’s. Fortunately, as the ever-positive Claudia notes, hope remains. How can it be false?”Īs we’ve seen countless times, being a Warehouse agent certainly presents a serious challenge to romantic happiness, and it’s an issue with which I imagine we’ll continue to see all our agents struggle. False hope, it would seem.”Ĭlaudia: “Artie, it’s hope. I especially loved that Hugo’s arrival and the reveal of his past with Vanessa led to that wonderfully bittersweet scene in which Artie confessed to Claudia that he’d given up on the possibility of love, until he met Vanessa.Īrtie: “Given my line of work, and my advanced years, I had pretty much made peace with the fact that I would not find romantic companionship. Especially with Claudia playing cheerleader and offering emotional support! I’m not usually one for romantic roadblocks, but I rather liked the tension between Artie, Vanessa, and Hugo. The case was really intriguing, it was delightful to see both Vanessa and Hugo again, and I’m always a sucker for poignant character stuff with Artie.
