"Look, you're gonna run into things in this job. Gandhi's sandals will calm you down so much that your heart will stop beating. There's a badminton racket that belonged to Charles Dickens. Makes you think you're an orphan. I put on Abe Lincoln's hat once and had an uncontrollable urge to free Mrs. Frederic. Don't think that didn't get me into trouble."
"The New Guy" is the first episode of season 3 of the American science fiction television series Warehouse 13 and is the 26th episode of the series overall. It was directed by Stephen Surjik and written by Jack Kenny. It first aired on Syfy on Monday, July 11th, 2011. In this episode, Pete, Claudia and Artie go to Jersey City, New Jersey to secure an artifact where they encounter ATF agent Steve Jinks - a man gifted with the ability to instantly know whenever somebody is lying. Mrs. Frederic recruits Steve into the project and he becomes Pete's new partner. Pete has little interest in working with Jinks and has not gotten over the fact that Myka has left the team. A mission that involves the cursed folio of William Shakespeare forces Myka to reevaluate her choices and she finds herself once again helping out the project. Afterward, Mrs. Frederic presents Myka with an alarming and unwelcome surprise.
Chronologically, the events from this episode actually take place after "Reset". The previous episode, "Secret Santa" was a Christmas episode and takes place earlier in the series, prior to Myka leaving the Warehouse.
