==History==
===Touch of Magic===
In Season Four, Claire mentions to Phoebe that two of their cousins in New Orleans died in an attack similar to the way their aunt was killed. In reality, Ben and Sam survived the attack and got rescued by the New Orleans branch of The Underground. Sam later died from his injuries, and Ben gained interest in a leadership position.
In Season Seven, Liam is reading Lucy's journal in which she mentions the underground, revealing she was aware of it's existence. Furthermore, in her journals Lucy writes her consideration of making Claire and Payton join the underground when they're 10 years old, because she fears the magical community is putting too much pressure on them but the human world is unsafe. Lucy had coordinates marked for a safehouse in Berlin where she intended to go, before she was killed.
===Justice===
In Season Two (Justice), Phoebe becomes familiar with the network. She realizes her own bravery to ask the Silverstones for help prevented her from ending up in the same position as the witches and wizards of the underground. At first disliked because she is a royal with connections to the 'upside', Phoebe quickly wins them over with her charm. The underground remains reluctant to accept her help, but Phoebe still visits weekly to teach the youngest generation about magic. 
Phoebe helps Emily and Elisabeth get a job at the local hospital through her mom's connections, so that they can learn their medical skills. She travels to New York with Nils and Maeve for the funeral, and meets up with Alyssa to get them financial support. She also gets Nils an apprenticeship with her brother with the promise that they will be looked after.
In the Season Three (Justice) finale, Phoebe is seriously injured and Chris prompts to take her to the hospital. Phoebe refuses to, and tells him to take her to the Underground instead. Chris follows Phoebe's instructions and stumbles into a makeshift emergency room where Elisabeth rushes to save Phoebe's life. After they've saved Phoebe, Chris learns more about the Underground. Despite clearing Portland of unwanted vampires, Chris learns there is still a lot of work to be done.
In Season Four (Justice), Phoebe and Chris are researching a new rising vampire group: The Black Yakuza. Phoebe states they have wiped out the entire Tokyo branch of The Underground. 
Phoebe arranges employment for many of the adult witches and wizards in businesses part of Silverstone Enterprises and gets the younger generations to enter training at Greek Hill and magical schooling from herself. By the end of the season, the Portland branch of The Underground is operating 'upside' and all have established housing, careers and education with the support of the magical community.
===Blue Moon===
Sophia gets approached by a guy named Killian McGregor, who goes against his orders and reveals himself to be part of the Underground. He explains their history to Sophia, who then learns of her aunt and uncle's years-long involvement with them. 
Sophia also learns that her father sent her to stay with her aunts because he didn't want the two of them to end up in a position within the underground. Killian states he knows who Sophia is, and that her father comes through the Underground locations every now and then. He asks for her help.
Sophia finds out Killian and a few others plan to take out one of the hunters. Killian tries to convince Sophia by revealing that he was the one who caused her mom's accident. Tempted, Sophia doesn't let her emotions cloud her judgement and she calls in the cops instead of killing him. The hunter gets arrested based on illegal weapon possession, with Sophia noticing that he was an older man and not an active hunter.
Killian explains that they marked him as a target exactly because of that, because his injury from the accident left him vulnerable. Sophia tells him she doesn't want revenge for her mother, who was killed many years ago. To this, Killian reveals to her that the killings have started happening again, ever since Phoebe and Chris retired. Sophia checks this story with Phoebe and Chris, who tell her the Underground was safe and stable when they left. Sophia tells them something has changed. 
Killian states the Underground needs a strong leader with royal ties in order to keep the Underground from slipping back into hiding. Sophia says she doesn't feel like being crowned queen by witches and wizards who were that eager to kill a human. Killian states that he thought she wanted revenge on him. Sophia is dissapointed in the fact that revenge is expected of her, and she says she got her compassion from her mom, not a desire for vengance.
===Descendants===
Avery Saphire meets Lucy Wingham in Portland and an instant spark forms between them. Avery starts to frequent the gym more, and accidentally discovers Lucy sometimes sleeps there. When Lucy finds out Avery is another witch, she considers asking for her help but knows how the Underground feels about upside royals. When Avery talks to Sophia about her crush, Sophia recalls Lucy as one of the people in the underground that did not agree with the plan to kill the hunter. When Sophia asks when Avery got involved with the underground, Avery has no clue what she is talking about, and Sophia is forced to reveal the existence of the underground to her cousin. 
Avery approaches Lucy and tells her she knows about the underground and that she is a witch. Lucy says she is not only a witch, but expected to be the next underground leader. Avery offers her help in training, but Lucy admits she would rather not face the responsibilities and just enjoy a fun day. They spend the day together, and hang out on several occasions after that. Lucy realizes that this proximity is affecting her power in a positive sense, and is reminded of the expectations people have. Lucy tries to deny the obvious romantic chemistry between the two of them, but Avery decides to kiss her. When Lucy goes missing from the underground's radar for the next 7 days, they are in severe panic. However Lucy resurfaces, assuring them that she is safe. She decides to take a step back from her responsibilities as the future leader of the Underground, and she starts an official relationship with Avery. Seven months later, when the underground is under attack, Lucy shows up in time to save them with the help of Avery Saphire and Sophia Greene.
