Episode Synopsis
Now cut off from government aid and military protection, the new “rogue” Sanctuary must fend for itself for even the simple staples of heat, taxes and ample electricity. To keep the Sanctuary network running, Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) flies to a remote island in Africa to meet with a new top secret financial advisor.
But before the meeting can take place, Magnus finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time…and in the middle of a dangerous hostage taking. Demanding money and back account numbers, these guys mean business. But so does Magnus.
At the Sanctuary, Will (ROBIN DUNNE) and Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) are holding down the fort. Will plans a romantic celebratory dinner for Abby’s (PASCALE HUTTON) promotion to Special Agent. But in the middle of their soiree, both their phones start ringing…work beckons. Henry reports in that an Abnormal has escaped due to a shipping container mix up. There’s no time to waste as Henry and Will are called into action to find the missing creature before someone gets a shocking surprise in the form of a four-legged, burger-eating Steno.

Q) How many episodes will Magnus' love interest be involved in?
Amanda Tapping: Well, one. Magnus is - one that we see, but Magnus is, again, very busy this season
Robin Dunne: Too busy for love.
Amanda Tapping: Too busy for love, it's sad really.
Robin Dunne: And we're going to write a song about it. Too busy for love, poor Magnus, too busy for love.

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.

Article excerpt :
PCZ: It seems like on all the conference calls I’ve been on with you guys, and other interviews I’ve seen, everybody asks about Magnus having a love life, having a love interest. I’m wondering at this point, is that sort of… does she kind of derail that because she maybe still has a torch for Druitt in some weird way?
AT: I’ll tell you what happened, is at the beginning of this season, when the writers and Martin, Damian and I were talking about potentials for the season, I said, “Y’know what would be great?” at the very end of this long conversation about story ideas, “if Magnus had a love interest this season. Y’know I don’t care what gender the person is. I don’t care where we go with it. Whether it’s just a one off, but I think Magnus, we need to show this woman is actually capable of love in a context that doesn’t involve a psychopathic murderer.” So, I just thought it would be nice to show that she’s capable of some semblance of a normal relationship outside of the weird men that she has chosen to align herself with. [In a British accent] Could I please just have a relationship with someone who doesn’t kill a lot of women.
RD: [Also in a British accent] Not a serial murderer. [shifts to normal] Could we start there and go up.
AT: Yeah. That’s not good. Could she have a real relationship. To that end, we just shot a really fun episode.
RD: It was really cool.
AT: Episode four, “Monsoon.”
PCZ: It still kind of adds the mystique to Helen. Because everyone else, we see what they do in their off time. But Helen just kind of seems to go away.
AT: Yeah.. and Helen doesn’t do a lot, and Helen doesn’t take down time. But! Having said that, you will find something very interesting at the beginning of our fourth season as to how we get out of our third season and it’s… well, gosh, Joseph, we just can’t tell ya, but it’s …
PCZ: Oh, all right!
AT: Helen gets a little bit of an opportunity to take a small break…
RD: [in a British accent] A respite.
AT: [also in a British accent] A small respite.
[chuckles]

Earlier this week I did 5 days on the set of Sanctuary as a guest star in Season 4. I do not hesitate to say that I had the best week of my life to date. The show, created by Damian Kindler, directed by Martin Wood and starring Amanda Tapping consists of the most extraordinary team of professionals I have come across, and all of them maintain a sense of grace and pride about their work. I am so excited for the episode to air and I given the opportunity I would return to that show in a heartbeat.
If you are not familiar with the show...get to it!

A friend of a friend's husband got the filming notice. It's rare to catch Sanctuary filming on location so I hurried to the office complex opposite Global TV in Burnaby. Apparently they filmed big explosions in a park in the rain the day before.
