SYNOPSIS:

This synopsis is by Deb Roche

Looking for companionship, Hephaestus forges himself a gold plated girlfriend named Galatea. Herc goes to see Heph and sees the woman he just created. Heph breathes life into her and says she will be awake shortly and that he must have the perfect gift. Herc stays with Galatea, but she awakes before Heph gets back. Galatea and Herc talk while they wait for Heph to return. But, by the time Heph gets back she has fallen for Herc. Herc tries to shake her off, but it's no use. Herc, Iolaus, Jason, Heph, and Galatea go on a picnic. It is clear to everyon that Galatea is in love with Herc. But so far Heph hasn't noticed. Herc takes her aside to tell her she belongs to Heph, She goes to kiss him, Heph sees, and gets mad. He take her and they run away. She looks back, her eyes pleading with Herc to help. Heph looks at Galatea and turns her heart "as cold as Olympian Ice" and in an instant she goes from loving Herc, to wanting to destroy him. When Heph sees what she has become he is sorry. When she falls from a bridge and is barely hanging on, Herc tries to save her. She wonders why he'd try to save her when she just tried to kill him. the bridge snaps, and Galatea dies.

Godly Appearances: Hephaestus
(note: The guys seem to have gotten real buddy-buddy with Heph since KUWTJ. Either there is a missing episode to be shown later, or a lot happened between stories.)
(Note 2: in H:TLJ -- Love takes A Holiday, it is assumed that Iolaus had never meet Heph prior to that episode. but, it seems like they're buddies in Young Herc.)
