In the upcoming season four Sanctuary episode The Depths, Magnus and Will are trapped in a cave-in when they travel to Bolivia in search of a legendary Abnormal. Because this story is yet to air, Horvath has to be rather cryptic when speaking about it.
“If you look back through the history of Sanctuary there is an episode every year where Magnus and Will are trapped somewhere and have no one to interact with but one another,” she explains. “I feel quite honored that I got to write this episode. In the past, these types of stories have always been written by Damian, who knows these characters so intimately. He really put his trust in me to write The Depths and make some choices about what I believed would be the issues between Magnus and Will. Much of what I came up with has made it into the final cut, which I’m so pleased about as well as feel blessed that I’ve managed to, I guess, plug into these characters over the past couple of years and get them right enough so that the story felt right to everyone here.
“What else can I tell you about The Depths? Well, again, this episode has a little B-story. It’s almost like this is my gimmick where I’ve always got this other story that we cut away to. The behind-the-scenes truth of this B-story is that because of scheduling logistics there had to be some scenes that didn’t have Amanda or Robin in them. So we came up with this neat little Henry-heavy B-story which I loved writing. Ryan Robbins [Henry] is another one of these guys who’s just so talented and I was able to give him humor as well as heart to play. Unfortunately, I couldn’t be on-set that day, but I knew those scenes were going to be so much fun to watch.”

Q) Will there be any Helen and Will centered episodes in Season 4?
Amanda Tapping: Yes, in fact, one in particular, called The (Depth), which is our typical Magnus and Will two-hander that we do every season, and of course it involves a lot of water. So I don't know what that is, I don't know why the writers feel like they need to do that to us every year. They hate us and torture us, so there is one that is actually, it's an incredibly intense episode, but so much comes up during the course of this episode, past lives, past transgressions.
Robin Dunne: It's a very brutally truthful episode between the two characters, and the result of it is that all of these things have happened over the course of the season, even previous seasons, and then the repercussions kind of go right into the end of, into the season finale.
Amanda Tapping: Yes, there's a massive ripple effect from that episode.
