Tony Dracon is the top dog in NYC’s organized crime scene. His protection rackets are second to none, and nobody muscles in on his territory. Until now. Word on the street is there’s a corrupt cop who wants a piece of the action. Who is this dirty cop? None other than Detective Elisa Maza. Besides threatening innocent bar owners, she’s also neglecting her relationship with Goliath. The clan senses a disturbance in the Force. Dracon’s about to find out what real strong-arming is, courtesy of Goliath and Broadway.

The Pack is back, and they’re sicker than ever. Wolf is a wolfman, Hyena and Jackal have cybernetic enhancements – or mutilations, rather – and Dingo is in armor. Coyote is the alpha, and he’s not playing around. Who is playing? David Xanatos and Fox. Their chess game will decide the fate of the Pack and the clan. Will the Trio be able to rescue Hudson, Goliath, Elisa and Bronx before it’s too late? The role of second in command also hinges on how the Trio handles this.

There’s one word for the pack: INSANE. They’re full-on criminals now, but that doesn’t keep the clan from pummeling them. They’re tired of the gargoyles beating them within an inch of their lives, though. Luckily, Coyote, Xanatos’s robot body double, appears. Well, his head does, since that’s all that’s left of him. He’s here to introduce a new line of Xanatos Enterprises products: Cybernetics, robotics, genetics, and armor! The Pack buys in. Now squicky, horrifying, and sobering are three words that describe the Pack.

Behind all this is David Xanatos. Fox plays a role too: his opponent in a chess game. There’s more to the competition than spousal bonding, namely the fate of the clan and the Pack.

Xanatos confronts Anton Sevarius over the doctor’s kidnapping of Thailog. Except it wasn’t the Good Doctor. Thailog is Goliath’s clone, created in Xanatos Enterprises’s Gen-U-Tech labs by Sevarius and trained in the ways of deception and manipulation by Xanatos himself. Thailog is the ultimate sociopath. Now he’s about to meet his “fathers.” He’s arranged the circumstances to suit him, though. Those circumstances mean the certain death of all three of his creators: Xanatos, Sevarius, and Goliath. But what’s his real motive?

Goliath is laughing maniacally in the night and spending his days atop the Eryie Building’s tallest tower. Or is he? Sevarius betraying Xanatos by is paying off mercenaries to kidnap the stone Goliath from the castle. Or is he? Xanatos is going to have a new minion, one who will be loyal and obedient. Or is he? Things aren’t as they seem in this episode. When you play god, you often summon the devil.

It appears Matt Bluestone has betrayed Goliath to Mace Malone and the Illuminati Society, who are intent on breaking Goliath’s will. But Goliath is breaking out of their Hotel Cabal, aka the torture chamber. Matt continues to ply Mace for info on the Society. When push comes to shove, though, who does Bluestone side with? And what will become of the aged gangster Mace?

Matt Bluestone believes in everything from Bigfoot to the Loch Ness monster, but his passion is the Illuminati Society, which is rumored to run the world. His obsession with chasing the shadowy organization lost him his job at the FBI. He’s risked his life to chase dead ends and make tenuous connections. Today he’s following yet another lead. But this one actually pans out in the form of the ancient gangster Mace Malone. The Illuminati knows Matt’s name – which is a frightening idea. They’re impressed by his tenacity. If he’ll do them a favor, they’ll let him into their clubhouse. What does the all-powerful Society want? Goliath.

Fox’s plan to take over Cyberbiotics by infecting its robots and crashing the Air Ship Fortress II into the Cyberbiotics tower is coming along. Renard the company’s CEO, and Goliath, race to shut down the robots and regain control of the ship. Meanwhile, Vogel threatens to activate the ship’s self destruct mechanism. Why is Fox so interested in Cyberbiotics? And what’s the secret she’s keeping? One thing’s for certain: House Xanatos will never be the same after this.

Cyberbiotics is again in House Xanatos’s sights. But this time it’s Fox, not David Xanatos, who is plotting. Unlike her husband, who only wanted a piece of their technology breakthroughs, Fox wants the whole company. After the gargoyle attacks on Cyberbiotics’s facilities last year, the company is struggling. Their new research station, Airship Fortress II, is manned by only robots, and the company’s CEO and aide. Not only is it their flagship, it’s also their Achilles heel. Knowing this, Goliath tries to act as escort, but no good deed goes unpunished. Will he end up unwittingly helping Fox?

Demona and Macbeth have revived the once-dead Coldstone. Again. But he’s little more than bait for their true aim. Elisa must choose between dying or being a traitor. Either choices means the clan dies. What’s behind door #3? For that matter, who’s really behind this? It takes a heck of a power to make enemies like Demona and Macbeth work together. As is often the case in the Gargoyle Universe, things are not as they seem.
