==Synopsis==
The Gamma Division of Helsing capture James Moriarty. Crawford Holmes interrogates him. Despite a feud between the Holmes and Moriarty family starting from the 19th century, Crawford is unfamiliar with James Moriarty.
Helsing investigate claims of the Hound, an old Helsing enemy, attacking. They track a cannister the Hound uses to a military base that another division of Helsing controls. William Stoker explains to Lucy Westenra that they are in Helsing's Alpha Division.
The base belongs to it's Beta Divison. The alpha Team don't have access but Sharon Holmes helps them get in by stealing Crawford Holmes' ID. In the place, they meet Jared Shelton and John Stapleton, the original Hound and a descendant of Jack Stapleton who was behind the Baskerville murders, now working for Helsing in exchange for immunity for his crimes.
Stapleton is suspected of the Hound but Jared says he was with them the whole time. They are then attacked by the Hound who uses his toxin to make everyone hallicinate. Stapleton sees the new Hound as a doglike monster, rather than the man in a costume that he is.
The Hound strangles Stapleton, who thinks he's being eaten. Helsing catches the Hound, who turns out to be Henry Combs. Henry's rather Russell Combs, was a Helsing scientist who Stapleton had killed during his time as the original Hound.
Henry used Russell's access to steal Stapleton's equipment and use it against him. Meanwhile, Crawford is forced to let Moriarty go as Helsing have nothing on him.
