Hephaestus ruins the triple date Hercules, Jason, and Iolaus are on. The guys decide he needs a woman in his life. They try to get him to ask out a pretty girl at the inn, but he messes up badly. Desperate for love, Hephaestus decides to build a woman in his forge. Hercules is shocked when he discovers what his half-brother has done. Hephaestus names the girl Galatea. Instead of falling for him, she develops feelings for Hercules. When he refuses her affections, she loses control.
A fight between Hercules and Galatea, who is as strong as she out-of-control, takes place on a bridge overlooking a valley. During the skirmish, Galatea falls to her death. Hephaestus cradles her in his arms as she dies. She might not have been real in the eyes of the world, but in his heart she was as real as him.
