Still, things go awry when they all end up as characters in the soap opera. Meanwhile, a strange accident at a university leads Claudia and Steve to discover an artifact that duplicates its users.
Valda tries to move the warehouse to China and uses Claudia's comatose sister Claire as a puppet caretaker. Information on Mrs. Frederic is also revealed - she became the caretaker of Warehouse 13 after her sister was killed in the fire that destroyed the previous Warehouse 13 in 1898.

Meanwhile, they explore a series of flashbacks via King Arthur's Round Table that build into the eternal emotions of the Warehouse itself. Each member contributes their defining moment as an agent, adding to the lore of the Warehouse. Pete and Myka proclaim their love for each other. The series ends in a flashforward decades into the future, showing Claudia as the new Warehouse Caretaker, as she views the defining moments of her long gone friends.
