After being ghosted by Aphrodite, Hercules suspects that the goddess of love may have been the victim of malevolent forces. But before he can investigate much further, he's tasked with another Olympian mission - this time on behalf of Aphrodite's husband Hephaestus, god of the forge, who enlists Hercules to track down a clockwork war machine that might be responsible for his wife's mysterious disappearance.

However, when Hercules - joined by the always-helpful Phil and the newly incarnated Galatea - pursues the rogue automaton, Hephaestus goes missing as well. And while losing one god could simply be bad luck, losing two in as many days seems more like a conspiracy!
