Ep 8. For King & Country

The Sanctuary team is back in action in season 3, and in episode 8, titled "For King & Country," they face their toughest challenge yet. The episode opens up with a top-secret meeting attended by Will on behalf of the Sanctuary. The meeting is about a situation in a war-torn country where an extremist group has taken control and is holding a powerful artifact that has the potential to cause widespread destruction. The Sanctuary is the only organization equipped to handle the situation due to their experience with powerful artifacts and their expertise in dealing with the paranormal.

Will, Kate, and Henry travel to the country on a covert mission to neutralize the threat and retrieve the artifact. They face a lot of obstacles, with the extremists having prepared a fortified defense position. The team has to start slow, taking down the outer security layers, and slowly working their way in. They devise a plan to try to infiltrate under the cover of darkness, but that too fails. Events take a turn when they encounter a group of refugees who have been displaced by the extremists. One of the refugees is a young boy who has a surprising connection to the artifact, which sets a surprisingly personal stake in the situation.

As the team continues to push forward, it becomes clear that the extremist group is well-funded and organized, equipped with the latest surveillance equipment and state-of-the-art weaponry. They attempt to evade the vast army of the extremist group and manage to find a way into the central building where the artifact is located. However, they are in for a surprise when they realize that the artifact has already been activated, and it is going to be difficult to neutralize its effects.

The Sanctuary team finds themselves in the position of having to choose between neutralizing the artifact or saving the boy. It becomes a race against time as they scramble to implement their plan while also dealing with the raging war. During their operation in the central building and the surrounding area, the team loses one of their members, which adds to the emotional turmoil of the situation.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leading up to the next episode's events. The Sanctuary team has retrieved the artifact, but at what cost? Drained physically and emotionally, the team returns to the Sanctuary amid an unrelenting sense of loss and grief. The episode marks a significant shift in the storyline of the series, representing a new level of stakes for the Sanctuary team to face. It's the kind of adrenaline-packed episode that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly continuing to tune in for more.
