Ep 32. The Hound of Ulster

The Hound of Ulster is the 32nd episode of season 2 of the animated television series Gargoyles. The episode begins with Goliath, Elisa, Angela and Bronx arriving at the Irish isle of Tara to attend the wedding ceremony of Maggie Reed and her fiancé Michael. Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Ophelia and Thailog are observing the couple from a distance, waiting for their chance to pounce.

Soon, strange things start happening on the island: the legendary hound of Ulster has been sighted by the locals, and a series of mysterious attacks have occurred, seemingly without rhyme or reason. As our heroes investigate these occurrences, they discover that Thailog has been secretly breeding gargoyles to form his own clan. These new gargoyles are genetically enhanced, and are more powerful than any our heroes have ever faced.

To make matters worse, Thailog himself has undergone an experimental transformation, becoming even stronger and more dangerous than before. Ophelia reveals that the hound of Ulster is actually one of Thailog's creations, a gargoyle breed specifically designed to hunt down and capture Maggie and turn her into Thailog's loyal servant.

As the situation spirals out of control, Goliath and his team must work together to stop Thailog's evil plan and protect the newlyweds from harm. They must also come to terms with the fact that not all gargoyles are inherently good, and that even those who are can be corrupted by power and greed.

With its combination of Celtic mythology and classic superhero themes, The Hound of Ulster is a thrilling and suspenseful episode that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Through its exploration of the darker side of gargoyle culture, the episode also serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and hubris. Fans of the series will appreciate the deepening of the show's mythology, and the introduction of new, complex characters who challenge our heroes' beliefs and values. Overall, The Hound of Ulster is a standout episode in a series that continues to surprise and impress with its depth and complexity.
