When a sculpture is stolen from an apparently impregnable vault in New York Myka and Pete are sent to investigate. How the item was taken isn't a mystery as we are shown somebody wearing a Native American cloak simply walk through a wall and take it and soon after their arrival Myka finds a feather from the cloak protruding from a wall. It turns out the sculpture was part of a set of four; each representing a traditional element and that when brought together in the correct way they show the location of a cave which contains items that can give a person godlike powers. Two wealthy men had been trying to acquire the sculpture; Pete and Myka will have to discover which of them was more likely to steal it. Meanwhile, following on from the previous episode, Claudia is being made to undo the damage she did to the Warehouse and fix its security systems. She proves to be rather useful and it looks as though she will become a regular member of the team.
This was another enjoyable episode; the main story didn't provide too many surprises but was still effective. The special effects are impressive as we see characters walk through walls, or in Pete's case be thrown through the side of a moving van. Given the fact that the artefact enables the wearer to pass through objects one may be forgiven for wondering how the wearer is meant to pick things up rather than just passing through the item sometimes it's just best not to over-think these things! While only a secondary part of the story the main interest for me was the transition of Claudia from an apparent one story character to a regular cast member; she is a fun character managing to have plenty of attitude without being irritating; Allison Scagliotti is great in the role and is a welcome addition to the cast; even if she is still listed as a guest star at this point.
