It's the day before Thanksgiving and it is rainy, gloomy and I have zero motivation. Are you stuck in an office like me, destined to get nothing done? Are you on a bus or a train? Are you home and stir-crazy? Are you just generally bored out of your mind? Then come and play

Will is having a terse phone call and Helen's only hope is that the person on the other end is also affected by the disruption in the time field before Will ruins the relationship with the same exasperated exclamations. There's no sign of her old friend, which she takes as a good sign in the event they end up needing assistance from outside the disturbance.
And then she literally stumbles on the problem.
She didn't even know Nikola was here, and from the look of surprise on his face when he sees her, he didn't know he was here either. 'Here' being the middle of the hallway on the second floor.
Before she can ask him what he's done to trap them in a time loop, of course, she resets, and she's typing up notes in her office.
Will stubbornly refuses to believe they're in a time loop, Kate treats it like a time disturbance is something she can bully into submission, and Nikola alternates between insisting the whole thing has nothing to do with him and lewly suggesting all the things he and Helen can do repeatedly without consequences.
Cue plot device message from Biggie, maybe this one time it isn't Nikola's fault, except, whooops, it totally is, Helen saves the day. Nikola asks if he can stay the night. Helen considers it. Also, this would be the perfect time for a thematically appropriate orgasm denial sex scene!

Sanctuary is ... one of those shows I wish fandom could take over writing for. (I haven't actually read any fic; I should go looking.)
