Episode Synopsis

The Sanctuary is facing a detailed inspection by U.N. official Greg Addison (BRIAN MARKINSON).  In the wake of the barely-averted Abnormal uprising, world governments are demanding accountability from Helen Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING), who’s used to operating independently and in secret.  The Sanctuary team rushes to make their facility and databases secure before the inspectors arrive.  Magnus and Will (ROBIN DUNNE) are called on the carpet to answer for what went wrong on their recent mission to Jakarta to retrieve a Crixorum, a dangerous Abnormal with psychic powers.  Addison warns them that if they don’t start cooperating, he has the power to cut off the Sanctuary’s funding and shut down the whole network.  When he catches them lying to him, things turn hostile and Addison tries to turn Will against Magnus to “save” the Sanctuary.

Meanwhile, Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) gets a visit from his girlfriend Erika (PAULINE EGAN), who has an unforeseen problem she needs help with. And it could change both their lives.

THR: Who can viewers expect to see in the upcoming season?

Tapping: The guest stars that the fans have really loved and embraced are all back this year. Carlo Rotta is in an episode called “Monsoon” and he’s laugh out loud funny. Brian Markinson, who has been in everything from Woody Allen films to Angels in America, he did our third episode and we’re having him come back because we loved him so much.
