Synopsis of "The Howl of the Hell Hound"
It has been a week since Lucifer found out where Weldrok's loyalty has been placed- in Chloe's apartment Weldrok is talking to Mazikeen and Chloe about what's been wrong with Lucifer, as he's been distant and emotionless for the past few weeks, which the demon comments on how their relationship as friends is back to square one- as he's been showing hostility towards him. Chloe asks what you said, which Weldrok explains him and Lucifer's mother had a conversation (but doesn't say what he said). In that moment Lucifer enters, asking to speak to Chloe, but soon see's Weldrok, and walks back out without saying anything else. Chloe asks what happened, which Weldrok simply replies the truth hurts. The hellhound gets up and leaves- with Chloe and Mazikeen to contemplate what happened.

The next morning, Lucifer finds himself being woken up by Chloe, saying it's an absolute emergency. As she drags him to a downtown part, and see's that the area has been completely destroyed with bodies mutilated and torn apart. Lucifer looks around in shock, as Chloe asks Dan and Ella what happened- saying they have no idea, but that everyone has been killed and any evidence has been destroyed by something. Lucifer walks though as a look emerges on his face showing that he knows what happened, as he grabs hold of the detective and takes her back to the car. Lucifer calls up every council member in a frantic, as Chloe asks what is going on- as she can see that hes taking her to Weldrok's new casino. Inside, Lucifer barges in too his office, and asks Weldrok if it's time, which he replies yes. Chloe confused asks what he's talking about, Weldrok explains, that last night and tonight is a rare blood moon, but even rarer- every moon in creation will turn blood red (this was often seen as a sign of evil, when it was actually a warning), the hellhound explains that he is the embodiment and vessel of all evil that will ever exist, but he has immense control over himself and his personality. But he says, that these moons are used as a signal, as during this time he'll turn rabid (like a werewolf), and go on a rampage as the evil in him is unleashed- and he and his power go out of control. Chloe cautiously asks how serious is this, which Weldrok explains that in Hell, they purposely locked him out of creation, as he could have destroyed creation itself, but Lucifer interrupts, saying that because he's in a much weaker and restricted state he won't be as destructive but still a danger to the whole city. Chloe asks again, more worried than ever, how long it will last- which Weldrok says it's only a short one, so one more night. Chloe realizes that what happened at the area was Weldrok in this form, as she steps back. Weldrok sighs, as he asks if Lucifer has got everything ready, which he nods, as the group walks out of the office.

Back at Lux, The council arrive with Lucifer and Chloe carefully following Weldrok as they enter Lucifer's penthouse- inside Lucifer's mother is sat there commenting on what is happening, but realize quickly as Mazikeen and Amenadiel follow, saying how it happened so soon. Weldrok waves it off, as the group comes to a door at the end of the penthouse to find a black door, saying while he is in a weakened state, he still is a danger, as long as he stays in this room for the night there will be no trouble- but warns everyone not to open it once, as he walks in closing the door. Chloe asks for anything she should know about this- which Madrasa says don't fall asleep and don't listen to the voices in our head, as he can manipulate you mentally to open the door, the group sits down as Lucifer sighs knowing it's going to be a long night.

At midnight, Lucifer ad Chloe are seen staring at the blood moon as she asks what did they talk about, but Lucifer has trouble explaining it as he doesn't know how to feel. Just then a voice speaking the name 'Uriel is heard by the two', as Lucifer mother reaches for the handle of the door, but, her hand is grabbed by Amenadiel and Felhir, Lucifer races over- saying that everyone need's to stop listening to the voices their hearing (even though he himself, is being blasted with voices of his past trying to get him to open the door). The group begins to argue, as Chloe entering the room hears a voice that she recognizes as her fathers that tempts her to open the door- which she slowly does, as the group distracted with each-other, does she open the door. Lucifer is first to notice, as a black and red paw grabs hold of the detective and pulls her in- The group grabs hold of the door, pushing it as another paw reaches out, burning Amenadiel's arm, Lucifer still hearing Chloe's voice pushes the paw back in, and throws himself in there, as the door shuts as everyone in the room see's Lucifer disappear into the room with the most powerful and feared dark-force in creation. Lucifer's mother says they have to go in, but Clown says to dangerous, and that no-one can enter until the blood moon is over which everyone agree's on, as Lucifer's mother wonders of the fate of her son.

Inside the room, Lucifer see's a twisted world as he's running through a blood red sky, apocalyptic Los Angeles calling out for Chloe. He eventually finds her, inside Lux realizing this world is warping, and knowing that it isn't long until the blood moon will be over. Lucifer finds her with her on the floor, as he rushes over to her she tells him to stop as she point behind him- he turns to see a massive werewolf beast with black and blood red fur, and fangs soaked with blood- starring into the eyes of the devil himself. Lucifer slowly backs off as the hellhound looms over him with a killing intent in it's eyes. Lucifer begins to speak with the beast, telling Weldrok about their past and other things to get the more sophisticated side of the demon to call him down, to no avail- as Lucifer realizes he's making him madder, as he remembers all he's done to him. Lucifer slowly picks Chloe up, as they back away from the hellhound who is slowly moving towards them, with a killing intent in it's eye. Lucifer quickly grabs a cup and throws it to the side distracting the demon, while he and the detective run for the elevator to his penthouse- inside he explains to the detective, that the door into the world is also the door out, as he tells her about the door in his penthouse.

Lucifer and Chloe leave the elevator as they see the door in front of them, as they jog towards it, but Weldrok jumps down from the ceiling and tries to kill the detective. Lucifer jumps on top, blocking the hound now trying to eat him- Chloe asks him what he said to make him so angry- saying she thinks that will calm him, which Lucifer explains, that when he found out Weldrok was working with his dad, he wasn't angry at the hellhound- he was angry at his father. He explained that during his time in Hell, he felt that Weldrok was the only guy he could fully trusts, even more than his own family- and was afraid that he only acted that way because of father, he was afraid that his oldest friend was lie. Just as he says this, the hellhound backs off for a moment (Lucifer thinking Weldrok must've heard him), but he grabs the detective and runs to the door. He bangs on it saying for someone to open it up.

The banging can be heard on the other-side by Amenadiel and Mazikeen who are still in the room, after the council restrained Lucifer's mom for trying to open the door. Both hear the voices but are hesitant from opening, causing the two voices to get louder. The two become even more hesitant but still approach the door in caution, until Chloe asks them to look after Trixie, which is something that wouldn't be asked, and they open the door- letting the two out before quickly closing it. The two sit down, with the angel and demon and wait for the day to arrive. The day comes as the door opens, to reveal Weldrok in his human form dazed from the experience. He see's Lucifer still there- saying everyone left after he told everyone too. They sit together as Weldrok admits he heard him talking with Chloe- saying that the deal with God was a job noting more, the times he spent with Lucifer where the best times of his life (as it's one of the reasons he came back)- he begins to laugh, saying how much this is like with him and his dad, causing Lucifer to laugh too. They both sigh, as Weldrok says he's got to get back to his casino- Lucifer asks if he'll see him around, which he replies yes, as they both smile as the elevator closes.

Inside the elevator, a being appears behind Weldrok asking if Lucifer is alright, which the hellhound sighs asking how much longer- as he cares about Lucifer. The being says he cares about Lucifer, and if his plan is to begin Lucifer- must be ready to take his place as the new God.
