The reason I made Mrs. Frederic come to Myka's apartment rather than Pete's is because, while in the original series Pete was the main focus (At least towards the end he was, anyways), I wanted this series to have Myka as the main focus. I chose that because, with my characterization for Myka and my overall plan for the series, it just made more sense with how her character arc was planned compared to Pete's. Don't get me wrong, Pete still has plenty of great moments and character development planned for him. I just felt like this version of the series was more made for Myka.

The reason I settled on Dante being the source of the Artifact was because I thought it would be interesting for there to be a moment where Soliday tries to punish Myka for the sin of letting her partner die, but the Artifact doesn't work because, not only has Myka already suffered enough because of that, but also because that sin was not actually Myka's fault. She only believes it's her fault, which is why the Artifact was able to pick up on that sin for Soliday to try and punish her for it, but then her trying to do that doesn't actually work. But, as for Myka not being able to remember the Dante detail, that's actually one of my biggest problems I have with this current draft of the script. One of Myka's main character traits is her love for literature and her knowledge of it as well, so having her forget such a big detail from a book she definitely would have read before always felt really weird to me. The only reason I never changed it was because I would have to rewrite so much of the script that I just didn't feel like it was worth the trouble. If I could come up with an Artifact that would still let me have Myka's guilt over Sam be acknowledged in the end without it being something she should have known about from the start, then I would gladly change it, but I just can't come up with a good one.

I appreciate you giving the script your stamp of approval, and I also appreciate the critiques you've given me on both the script and the series bible. I would love to hear about your own idea for a new Warehouse 13 series sometime as well! Let me know if you ever post anything about that. I'd definitely love to read it!
