Season 3 episodes (20)

1 Kali Part 3
10/15/10
Kate (AGAM DARSHI) and Ravi (SHAKER PALEJA) rush an unconscious and barely breathing Will (ROBIN DUNNE) back to the Mumbai Sanctuary. En route, they receive reports of massive tsunamis heading for the coasts of India, Pakistan and the Arabian Peninsula. Ravi continues on to the Sanctuary while Kate frantically tries to warn the authorities in Dharavi to sound the sirens and get their people to higher ground. Meanwhile Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) and Henry (RYAN ROBBINS), aboard the Sanctuary vessel now taken over by a power-hungry Wexford (PAUL MCGILLION), evaluate the horrific destruction around them, caused by Big Bertha's last magnetic impulse.
2 Firewall
10/22/10
A mission goes dangerously sideways when Will (ROBIN DUNNE) slips up, putting his Sanctuary teammates in jeopardy. Still reeling and traumatized from the events in Mumbai, Will is unfocused and struggles with memory loss, unable to recall anything that happened during his near-death experience. Suffering from insomnia, Will concedes to one of Bigfoot's (CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL) concoctions to help him rest -- and it works like a charm. But while in a very deep sleep, he receives two mysterious and unwanted visitors. Unsure of who the intruders are, or where they came from, Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) is certain they were after something Will has...or knows. As they continue to try to unlock Will's memory, flashes begin to come back to him -- and what he starts to recall stuns the team, and sets them all on an entirely new path.
3 Bank Job
10/29/10
Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING), Will (ROBIN DUNNE), Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) and Kate (AGAM DARSHI) respond to a routine call to retrieve an Abnormal egg apparently being kept in a bank safety deposit box. But when they arrive, Magnus finds the creature has hatched prematurely. Its first natural instinct is to find a human host in which to grow and they quickly discover that it hasn't wasted any time. Within an hour it will outgrow its host with deadly consequences. If Magnus can determine who the creature has chosen as its temporary new home, she has a chance of saving them. But that means keeping everyone in the bank so she can run some tests. When Magnus tells Kate and Will to find a way to detain the patrons already in the building, Kate falls back on what she knows best and stages a bank heist. Now the team has less than 60 minutes before the creature explodes out of its host, or the FBI takes them out. Either way, the team is up against a deadly clock.
4 Trail of Blood
11/5/10
The team gets a mysterious distress call from Nikola Tesla (JONATHAN YOUNG), with nothing more than an SOS. Using tracking devices, Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) is able to provide the general vicinity of the message -- the Colombian Highlands. With the coordinates in hand, the team heads off to respond to the call, but not before Will (ROBIN DUNNE) voices his suspicions as to Tesla's true intentions. Is he really in trouble? Or are they being lured into another of Nikola's schemes? Journeying to the location of the distress call, the team find themselves in a series of tunnels and caves that lead them to the one and only Tesla, who is trapped in a rather compromising position. A frustrated Will quizzes Tesla as to why he was down there in the first place, but they are abruptly interrupted when they realize they are not alone in the caves. A horde of deadly multipedes have chosen them as prey and the team is forced to fend off their tunnel --dwelling attackers.
5 Hero 2: Broken Arrow
11/12/10
Will (ROBIN DUNNE) and Kate (AGAM DARSHI) are hijacked at gunpoint while transporting Abnormals to an off-site storage facility after an environmental alarm closes one of the wings of the Sanctuary. But the gunmen aren't looking for money. They specifically unload a reinforced glass container carrying a liquid-like creature. The team knows that this Abnormal has the ability to attach itself to whomever it chooses, transferring super human strength and ability to the recipient. They witnessed the phenomenon first-hand during last year's encounter with insurance adjuster turned superhero Walter Pike (CHRISTOPHER GAUTHIER)...aka The Adjuster.
6 Animus
11/19/10
Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) hears of a werewolf sighting near Oldham, England -- the location of many such apparent incidences. He is drawn to investigating the area in hopes of gaining some insight into his own history and perhaps find others like him who are Hyper Accelerated Proteans (HAPs)...otherwise known as werewolves.
7 Breach
11/26/10
Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING), Will (ROBIN DUNNE) and Kate (AGAM DARSHI) respond to an anonymous call for help at a rundown, abandoned building. After an initial sweep of the first few floors it seems as though no one is there. However, with their communications equipment experiencing odd power spikes, they decide to head back to the Sanctuary and return later with the full team to do a more thorough search. Besides, no one wants to linger any longer than necessary in the eerie building.
8 For King and Country
12/3/10
With Adam (IAN TRACEY) under tight security back at the Sanctuary, Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) starts to process the events of the past 24 hours. She discloses to Will (ROBIN DUNNE) how she was associated with Adam back at Oxford in the late 1800s, and the turbulent role he played with The Five. She knows that he may hold the key to the secrets of the holographic city, but his mental state makes him far from a trustworthy source of information. And Magnus is still reeling from the fact that he is even alive -- afterall, she saw him die! Tesla (JOHNATHAN YOUNG) reveals that Druitt (CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL) knows more than he has let on over the years about Adam's supposed death, and tells Magnus where she might be able to find him. Although feeling ill and still beaten from her battle with Adam, she sets off to find John, and some answers.
9 Vigilante
12/10/10
Knowing that the cure for Magnus's (AMANDA TAPPING) illness can only be found in the hidden City, Will (ROBIN DUNNE) decides to release Adam (IAN TRACEY) from his restraints so he can show them how find the City's access point. Although Magnus warns against it, Will allows Adam to work on the hologram and, as promised, he reveals the code for a rare keystone -- an ancient device that will grant them access to Hollow Earth. Although still unsure if the code is a trap, Magnus deciphers the cuneiform symbols and comes up with a set of coordinates. Together, Magnus and Druitt (CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL) travel to the location, hoping that it will lead them to the keystone... and eventually, the City.
10 The Hollow Men
12/17/10
Now with the real keystone in her possession, Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) tells Adam Worth (IAN TRACEY) she is leaving to find the hidden city. Although he warns her of great danger there, she insists he stay behind and promises to bring back the cure to their radiation illness. Magnus, Will (ROBIN DUNNE), Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) and Kate (AGAM DARSHI) get geared up for their mission, intent on finding the gateway to the City...as well as Magnus's father. With Druitt's (CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL) help, they teleport to the remote Tibetan location where they expect to find the grand entry hall and gateway. Instead, they find themselves atop a rugged mountain in blizzard conditions. Convinced that the coordinates are correct, Magnus refuses to give up and locates the gateway -- a stone door carved into the mountain. Magnus turns the keystone in the door and the team is granted access to Hollow Earth.
11 Pax Romana
4/15/11
When we left Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING), Will (ROBIN DUNNE), Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) and Kate (AGAM DARSHI), they had met with a hostile welcome upon gaining access to the city of Praxis in Hollow Earth.

During an excursion to East Africa to investigate a former Praxian stronghold, Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) and Tesla (JONATHON YOUNG) are surprised to find a secret chamber.

20 Into the Black
6/20/11

Security Team, move swiftly into military mode, assuming the worst and preparing to defend themselves against an aggressive attack. But Magnus knows that the Abnormals will need assistance and protection while they try to understand their reasons for coming to the surface.

About this show

She is aided in her quest by her reluctant protégé Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne); her intrepid, if somewhat reckless, daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup); and the talkative geek Henry Foss (Ryan Robbins), a computer and security expert...

I looked forward to the zany twists and turns this series took. Never boring, and always a little tease until the next episode. Four seasons were not nearly enough.

I love this TV show since season one. Magnus her crew and the insane adventures they go on. Nothing is more sci-fy then this show or Haven. But always loyal to my Magnus. Always and for ever. #TeamSanctuary
