Sanctuary

The season four premiere picks up where season three left off, with Helen Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) standing on a cobblestone street, far from her own time or the modern Sanctuary resources. Having followed her longtime nemesis Adam Worth (IAN TRACEY) through a collapsing time vortex, she is stunned to realize they have both traveled back to London...1898.

Reports continue to flood in of Hollow Earth Abnormals arriving at the surface in droves. With the Lotus Security Forces and government officials taking aggressive action in the name of "defense" Will (ROBIN DUNNE) and Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) attempt to reason with General Villanova (TOM McBEATH) and the U.N.'s Dr. Lee (FRANCOISE YIP). But their pleas for more time and negotiation fall on deaf ears.

The Sanctuary is facing a detailed inspection by U.N. official Greg Addison (BRIAN MARKINSON). In the wake of the barely-averted Abnormal uprising, world governments are demanding accountability from Helen Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING), who's used to operating independently and in secret. The Sanctuary team rushes to make their facility and databases secure before the inspectors arrive.

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.

The Sanctuary team is on the trail of an Abnormal fugitive, when their quarry is unexpectedly scooped up by a bunch of well-armed operatives from Homeland Security's Specified Counter Insurgency Unit (SCIU), a new agency dedicated to tracking and restraining Hollow Earth Abnormals.

Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING), Henry (RYAN ROBBINS), and Bigfoot (CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL) are startled by an intruder alarm coming from the roof of the Sanctuary. As they rush to the top floor, they discover Bruno (ADAM GREYDON REID) and Sheila (CAROLINE CAVE), a bickering but charming couple of flying Abnormals, who are well known to the Sanctuary for their tall tales.

Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) joins Declan (ROBERT LAWRENSON) and a team from the UK Sanctuary investigating a shipwrecked icebreaker on the frozen Bering Sea. A fast-moving storm strands them on the disabled ship, where they find that the original crew has inexplicably killed each other...along with the cargo of Abnormals they were transporting.

During an investigation, FBI Agent, (and Will's girlfriend) Abby Corrigan (PASCALE HUTTON) is suddenly attacked by an unfamiliar Abnormal. She is taken to the Sanctuary where Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) and Will (ROBIN DUNNE) desperately try to figure out how to help her. With her condition worsening, Abby is unable to respond to them, making it close to impossible to get further information from her.

The Sanctuary computers are going haywire. When Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) looks into the problem he discovers an invader - a Praxian nanite. They learn that the nanite is a relic from when Tesla (JONATHON YOUNG) hooked up the Hollow Earth memory device to the Sanctuary mainframe. Mysteriously, the nanite has become reactivated and now seems bent on taking over their systems.

Kate Freelander (AGAM DARSHI) shows up with unwelcome news: Hollow Earth insurgents are planning a major terrorist hit on an above-ground target. While Will (ROBIN DUNNE) and Declan (ROBERT LAWRENSON) join Kate's investigation, Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) decides she will have to reach out to her hard-nosed opponent...

Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) and Will (ROBIN DUNNE) are off to Bolivia, in a race with a SCIU extraction team to find a legendary and extremely rare Abnormal. The feathered serpent that the Aztecs called Quetzalcoatl is said to bestow immense powers on his followers. But when Will and Magnus face off against the SCIU team and get trapped by a cave-in...

Helen Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) is taken aback when Caleb (GIL BELLOWS), a notorious leader among the Hollow Earth Abnormals, asks for her help in brokering a peace deal between his insurgents and the hostile governments on the surface. He seems sincere in his wish for humans and Abnormals to live in harmony, and Magnus throws her lot in to try to help him...

Helen Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) will do anything to keep the new Abnormal Homeland from turning into the next Warsaw Ghetto. With Bigfoot (CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL) gone to work with Caleb (GIL BELLOWS) and Will (ROBIN DUNNE) pressed into service with the enemy agency SCIU, Magnus relies on Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) and Tesla (JONATHON YOUNG).
