"Into the Black" is the twentieth episode of the third season of Sanctuary, and the forty-sixth episode overall in the series.
A group of abnormals has to be contained, and Helen Magnus finds herself in a jurisdictional battle with the United Nations and a private security firm that wants to seize control of the abnormals and take over the project from the Sanctuary Network.
Cold Open
At the Old City Sanctuary, Helen Magnus, Will Zimmerman, and Henry Foss attend a video conference with Lilian Lee of the United Nations and General Villanova of the Lotus Defense Corps. The general explains that his men have established a perimeter around an affected area in South Dakota within sixty miles of Rapid City, and sends them a camera feed of a group of abnormals coming to the surface from Hollow Earth.
Act I
General Villanova requests authority to arrest and contain the abnormals, but Helen Magnus questions his expertise in the area. She wants full jurisdiction and asks Lilian Lee to put the newcomers under the care of the Sanctuary Network. Villanova says that the LDC troops can take care of capturing the abnormals and deliver them to Magnus in Old City. To the Sanctuary team's irritation, Lee agrees to his proposal. Will Zimmerman and Kate Freelander make contact with Lieutenant Coxwell of the LDC troops, who explains that they will treat the abnormals as criminals as long as there is no proof to the contrary. A large military camp for hundreds of people is being set up. Back in the Old City Sanctuary, Henry Foss points out that it is getting ever harder to keep the abnormal world secret, and that this latest incident might provide them an opportunity to introduce the world to the Sanctuary Network's work. Magnus however, believes that the world is not ready, and mentions that she tried something similar in the late 1940s, and it did not go well. Magnus contacts Lee again, who informs her that her superiors have established a force that will act over the head of Sanctuary. In the camp, the first truckloads of abnormals arrive, including a bryoscar and several herusans. Will spots Fallon, the former chief of staff to Ranna Seneschal, and takes her to Magnus's study. The woman explains that she and her fellow rebels were declared traitors and narrowly escaped into the outlands of Hollow Earth. Martial law was declared in Praxis, but some time later, the power went out and rumors surfaced that Praxis had been attacked. The rebels eventually decided that they had no other choice than to try and reach the surface. Magnus briefs Lee, Villanova, and other world leaders on what she learned from Fallon. There is still no contact with Ranna or anyone in Praxis; the abnormal rebels only wish to live as they did in Hollow Earth; Villanova points out that that is not possible on the surface when Henry calls Magnus away. He leads her to a hallway where Will escorts a newcomer to her: John Druitt has returned to inform them that Adam Worth is alive and they all are in grave danger.
Act II
In the abnormal holding camp, Kate Freelander notices that the abnormals will not accepts help or gifts from humans. She notices a herusan jewelry maker, who gives her a necklace and introduces himself as Garris. His flirting with her is noticed by some other herusans, who do not seem too happy about it. Meanwhile, Helen Magnus angrily demands an explanation from John Druitt, who explains how her was about to kill Adam Worth; however, Worth explained that he wanted to use the device he stole from Praxis to travel back in time and save the life of his daughter, Imogene, who died over one hundred years ago. Druitt agreed to help him in exchange for the chance to also go back in time and prevent the Five from injecting themselves with the source blood, so that he and Magnus could have a happy, yet mortal life without all the hardships that have happened to them. Worth copied the specifications for the device, but then vanished without taking Druitt with him. Druitt and Magnus leave to look for Worth. Fallon talks to one of her fellow herusans, Thelo, who is unhappy about the way the humans treat them. She asks him to support her, and he grudgingly promises not to stand in her way. Kate gives a gift to Garris, which causes other herusans to insult Kate, causing Garris to start a fight. Will talks to Dr. Lee when he sees the fight on one of the video screens. Magnus and Druitt are on their way to Hollow Earth. They get into an argument when Magnus points out how selfish his desire to be with a former version of her, with no regard for who she's become during the past one hundred years, truly is. However, their issues are abruptly forgotten when they arrive on a balcony overlooking Praxis – and find the city totally destroyed, in smoking ruins.
•Trivia: According to Alan McCullough, this episode is "sort of Sanctuary’s take on [the movie] "District 9"".
•Trivia: This is the first episode directed by series creator and main writer Damian Kindler.
•Casting: This is Agam Darshi's last episode as series regular.
•Trivia: Like both of the previous season finales, Episode 3x20 - "Into the Black" ends in a cliffhanger.
•Chronology: Story line in this episode continues directly into Episode 4x02 - "Uprising" following the gigantic energy blast after Helen Magnus steps through Adam Worth's time portal.
•Continuity / Character Error: After Will Zimmerman and Kate Freelander arrive at the refugee camp and meet Lieutenant Coxwell and see how the camp is being run by him, the following scene shows Helen Magnus and Henry Foss walking through a hallway in the Old City Sanctuary and into an elevator. Henry tells Magnus that the cover story for the camp is that it is an Army training operation and that they also received a backing statement from the Chief of Staff; Magnus replies to this news with "Nicely done", clearly supporting the cover story. A minute later when Magnus receives a call from Will as she disembarks the elevator, she's shocked/surprised to hear that the refugee camp is being run as a military camp. In the next scene, Magnus tells Lilian Lee that this situation is particularly sensitive and that whatever they do here will set the precedent for all future encounters (not agreeing with the Lotus Defense Corps' militaristic approach of how to handle this situation).
