First Labor: Leo/The Nemean-Lion
While he may look like a lion, Leo is anything but courageous or frightening. Instead he is a neurotic slacker who is not quite ready for a job interview. The “word for today” was not presentable, as he is dressed pretty slovenly. Herc decides, hesitantly, that he can help Leo out by hooking him up with a jacket. Unfortunately, his generosity does know boundaries and the perfect coat exceeds it. No matter, Herc will revert to his selfish ways and come up with a solution.
Second Labor: Lera and Her Posse/The Lernean Hydra
One venomous tongue woman is enough, but four is even worse. Herc stumbles upon his friend Sally who is caught between the crossfire of Lerna and the break up of her favorite band. Herc steps in and tries to defend Sally’s misperception as a modern day Yoko, but his past relationship with Lerna puts him in a precarious situation. As always, Thurman is there to give his “sage” like advice.
Third Labor: Kevin the Tweaker/The Ceryneian-Hind
Ah, the local tweaker. Kevin, a drug dealer who has tried too much of his own product, proves to be a real life COPS episode when Herc has to help out Thurman’s cousin Dave. The end result though would have everyone on the force kicked off and in jail.
Fourth Labor: Thurman's Apartment/The Augean-Stables- for those nerds paying attention, yes we swithced the order. you get a no prize.
Hercules had to clean the stables. Herc wishes he could be cleaning stables. After a short break from helping people, Thurman convinces Herc that his Good Samaritan work can be used on one of his dearest friends. Of course, Thurman is of no help, but Herc manages to clean the toxic waste that is Thurman’s apartment in a jiff. Like magic or some clever use of some house hold items.
Fifth Labor: Steve/The Erymanthian-Boar
Losing weight is tough. It’s even harder when you’re skin and bones. Herc and Thurman run into their friend Steve as they make their way to the restaurant. Steve informs them of an overbearing gym owner who won’t let him out of his contract. Thurman…errr….Herc to the rescue.
Sixth Labor: Anne and Gina/The Stymphalian-Birds
I’m sure anyone who has worked in restaurants will recognize the next two characters. Anne and Gina, two businesswomen on their lunch break, who are never content. Herc has something up his sleeve though to help out his friend Bruce, while facilitating a change in the ladies attitudes towards their servers.
Seventh Labor: Bullsworth/The Cretan-Bull
You can’t save everyone, as Herc finds out with his next task. His foot oversteps the boundaries when he tries to help Allison, a hot-tempered feminist, from a used car salesman and rival to Herc, Bullsworth. While he tries to extend his services, he quickly finds out that he is not needed as Allison has a very effective method to getting her deposit back.
Eighth Labor: Garage Band/The Mares-Of-Diomedes
Herc is yet again side tracked after lunch when Thurman brings him to a storage unit to pick up a few things. In the storage unit Herc and Thurman come across a band that needs some taming of their instruments. They wouldn’t be so bad, if they knew what a beat was. This proves to be more daunting then what it initially started out as.
Ninth Labor: Anthea/The Girdle Of Hippolyta
While driving the car runs empty and the two park the car in front of a boutique. Herc’s friend Cybil is standing out front sulking. Through inquisition, Cybil informs Herc that her roommate sold all of her clothes to this boutique, more importantly her favorite dress. Herc decides to help Cybil by stealing the dress. He enlists the help of a local couch surfer, Charlie, to aid them in this endeavor. Herc and Thurman distract the clerk while Charlie walks out of the store while wearing the dress. Realizing that she hasn’t been fooled the three run out of the store and down the street.
Tenth Labor: Gary/The Cattle Of Geryon
Elitists are always easy targets, but when they don’t shut up it’s hard to prove them wrong. In the local comic book shop, Herc bounces back from his failed trials with Allison and the band to aid two young comic book customers from the wrath of Gary. After his triumph, Herc is informed that with every action comes a reaction and his stint with Lerna has signed his fate at the hands of Jerome.
Eleventh Labor: Joes/The Apples Of The Hesperides
After failing miserably to win back Karen, Herc finds himself hiding out in his friend’s (Allan) club. For once though he decides to do a selfless act by protecting Allan’s safe from his money grubbing wife Joey. Easier said then done. Joey utilizes all her sexuality to try and get her hands on the key. This proves to be a blessing in disguise as Herc learns what it is that he is giving up with Karen.
Twelfth Labor: Jerome/The Capture Of Cerberus
While Herc may have had an emotional epiphany with Joey, he is about to have physical one with Jerome. After escaping Allan’s club, Herc mistakenly runs into Jerome and his two cronies. Despite his rationalization for his selfish acts, Jerome makes sure that retribution will be had.
