Prologue

"You have all come to my home, and have blood that runs through your veins, blood I can touch. Will. Shape. Possession is only part of the game. Action is the next step."


Director: Callandor
Airdate: June 1st, 2007
Participants: Annie Cooper, Laurie Jones, Remy Dubois, Sidney Neville

Summary: Devilshire's local pack have an unwelcome visitor on the night of the full moon. It's the master of the mysterious Black Hounds, and he wants to take the werewolves on a field trip through some tunnels and to the river. He shows them the body of a girl and talks cryptically of the fate of the werewolves, implying they are his minions.


Act One

"I'm looking for anyone that knows something about the Black Hounds."


Director: Callandor
Airdate: June 5th, 2007
Participants: Deacon Driscol, Joe Banks, Noah Wilson, Shoshana Swann, Wolfe Callaghan

Summary: Monster hunter Ronan Kenson has come to town and spread the word that he's looking to take down some big game: the Black Hounds. He wants to know what the residents of Devilshire know about them. Some are more willing to talk than others, but most are skeptical.


Subplot, Act One

At the same time, they throw canisters onto the ground and reach into their jackets, pulling out gas masks, which they quickly pull on their heads. Further down the bar, from the bathrooms, a third, slim figure wearing a gas mask throws yet another canister, and from the doorways? A taller, and definitely femine gas-masked form throws a forth canister. In a matter of seconds? Tear-causing smoke is flooding the casino, making it difficult to see.


Director: Zar'roc
Airdate: June 7th, 2007
Participants: Deacon Driscol, Dmitriy van Wick, Nicholas Barber, Robert Johnson, Truancy Tolliver, Wentworth Moore

Summary: Four unknown demon hunters appear in the Great Old One Casino and start cutting stuff up. Mostly people. Demons. Whatever. They have a sword that sucks the mojo out of supernatural types, which means the fight goes very badly very quickly and some of the characters emerge less than they were.


Act Two

The girl turns, slowly. It isn't a full turn. Rather, she twists at the waist until she's turned about as far as a human torso will swivel. She looks upon the assembled. Then she lifts her mouth to the sky and she howls. As she howls she changes, melting from human shell into large, black hound.


Director: Hackmaster
Airdate: June 8th, 2007
Participants: David Bianco, Kay Madsen, Kyle Moore, Marley Moore, Megiddo, Solange Medina

Summary: While looking for trouble out on the riverbank, Ronan and company encounter a freaky girl who transforms into a Black Hound when Ronan levels a gun at her. He fires and the Hound, quite predictably, attacks. Then dogs come. Lots of dogs of the regular sorts of breeds: Fido, Rex, Spot, Toto, and all the other family pets of the canine variety. They attack. Two words can explain why SPCA probably did not like this episode: 'dog club'.


Subplot, Act Two

...During all this, people have been murmuring, talking, wondering. But now? There are other noises. The first sounds just like a loud pop. Electrical, and there is a flash in one corner of the club. Then another. Screaming starts. And then... the sound of a gun, and metal hitting flesh. The screaming gets louder as more voices pick up on the panic and begin to panic themselves.


Director: Zar'roc
Airdate: June 10th, 2007
Participants: David Bianco, Jake Marshall, Kyle Moore, Magda Devlin, Maya Taniguchi, Muri O'Connor

Summary: The quartet of mysterious demon hunters hit Free Expressions next. They cut the lights and start shooting, set fire to the joint, make a clean getaway and leave a couple of people lacking in the supernatural department. At least these two don't mind.


Subplot, Act Three

"Ah, Missah Pete, we've been missing you. I have your order right here. My Sherry, she is off tonight, but I will let her know you stopped by. A man dropped this off fo you, Missah Pete."


Director: Zar'roc
Airdate: June 14th, 2007
Participants: Annie Cooper, Cael McAndrews, Jack Moore, Sophie Clarke

Summary: A crack team of specialists follow some clues and find the lair of the demon hunters. One of them shares a lot more than directions, unintentionally.


Act Three

"We need to make this hole deep. About ten feet. The cage goes at the bottom and then we cover it."


Director: Hackmaster
Airdate: June 16th, 2007
Participants: Elita Hudson, Judith Devlin, Mathias de Gaunt, Rose Devlin, Skitch Maxwell

Summary: Ronan decides to dig a pit and put a silver plated cage in it. Not just any silver plated cage, though! This one is solid iron with a depleted uranium center, not that it helps Ronan. Two Hounds appear to drag Ronan away, while another half dozen or so occupy the other monster hunters and meet swirly ends. Because they turn into swirly smoke when they die. Try the veal.


Finale

"Unless you want to deal with the hounds yourselves, I'd suggest either helping us or waiting till they're dead before trying to kill us!"


Directors: Callandor and Zar'roc
Airdate: June 17th, 2007
Participants: Charity Swann, Ciaran O'Toole, Jack Moore, Jake Marshall, Leon Armstrong, Maya Taniguchi, Melia Taglioni, Wentworth Moore

Summary: The mysterious group of power-stealing demon hunters face off against the Black Hounds in an epic battle that is mostly unwitnessed because nobody wants to help people who went around stealing their powers.


Subplot, Finale

"N.I.T.E. system secure. Commencing systematic destruction. Input over ride key in 10 seconds. 9. 8..."


Director: Zar'roc
Airdate: June 19th, 2007
Participants: Cael McAndrews, Idao, Skitch Maxwell, Wentworth Moore, Wolfe Callaghan

Summary: Team Demon Squad's secret base is investigated, and some of their mojo dampening compound is made off with before the whole place explodes. Two words would have made this part of the episode better: 'dog club'.
