“Untouchable” is episode three of season four of Sanctuary.
Will is telling Magnus about a team led by the UN Security Council’s trouble shooter which is coming to look around the Sanctuary. The others aren’t happy about giving access to the sanctuary to the inspection team, but Magnus says that the Abnormals invading from Hollow Earth through the calderas in “Into the Black” has made a lot of high-level people needing reassurance.
The inspection team is an hour earlier and appears to have got through the security protocols. Using Henry’s code. Henry says he didn’t give the code to anyone. Except it’s not the team, it’s Henry’s girlfriend, Erika, who left in “Wingman”. She has news for Henry – he’s going to be a father. Henry is speechless.
The inspection team apparently are visiting after Will and Magnus failed to capture an Abnormal with serious mind control powers, in Jakarta, Indonesia, who could well have been the one controlling all of the invading Abnormals in “Uprising” (clips of this mission occur throughout).
The inspector, Greg Addison (Brian Markinson, who played Inspector Dillon in Continuum), is here to decide whether the Sanctuary network continues to receive funding. Addison refers to his team as the ‘Untouchables.’ Addison is not making friends. This is a deliberate tactic on his part. He provokes Erika, with comments about Abnormals, not realising she’s a HAP. She partially transforms, and this appears to have had more of an effect on her, given her pregnancy.
Addison does not feel that the Sanctuary network is doing enough to catch the Abnormals who are roaming free on the surface. They promised to handle the situation but so far have not managed to. Addison has his own agenda and thinks that Magnus is hiding things from him. Matters are not helped by a hormonal and pregnant HAP on the premises and Magnus’ allies are not speaking to her. Addison has been given the power to bankrupt the Sanctuary network and Magnus as well.
Addison ends up giving Magnus an ultimatum. She does not take it well. However, Magnus had a plan in place even before Addison turned up. Having had over a 100 years to think on matters after the events of “Tempus”, Magnus had come to some new conclusions.
