Facilier saw a light and ran after it, revealed to be the Gate to Mount Olympus. Thinking that it was sacred, Facilier initially refuses to touch it, but his friend, Hades, disregards his warnings and decides to open the Gate anyway. When Hades grabbed it, he was vanquish to the Underworld. Facilier then open the Gate after praying to the Gods for permission, and was able to walk in. He met Zeus and Hera, as Zeus welcomes him to Mount Olympus. Later, Facilier watches Hera in the garden, as she places the seeds in a planter, and she uses her magic to grow them instantly.

Facilier reveals that if he can't have her than no one should, he rips Hera's heart out. Despite Zeus' pleas and warning, Facilier crushes Hera's heart, killing her. Than he puffs away in dark red cloud of smoke, realizing that he loss his immortally. End of flashback

Present day in the Underworld, At Hades' lair, Facilier sees Hades as competition and calling him a "Wild Card," Facilier used the cursed voodoo doll to tell Hades that he's "taking him out of the deck," then sticks a pin into the doll to give Hades a heart attack, which kills him instantly. Facilier realizes that the only way that Hades keeps his secrets would be inside his throne and find the Firefly Ruby, which he took and puff away in black cloud of smoke. Shortly after that, Hades appears back perfectly alive but grinning. At the Underworld Roni's, Ursula is among the outsiders as Facilier appears and reveals Hades' plan, involving the Fates. Later, while the outsiders heads to the library to find anything that can defeat Hades and the Fates. At the same time, Facilier visit the cemetery and find Hera's tombstone toppled, which shows that she has moved on. That night, Hades surprises Ursula while she was going to meet with the others back at Roni's. Since she was responsible for removing the outsiders names from the tombstones so that all of them could be able to leave, Hades brought the Fates along as "a loophole." As he introduces Ursula to his wife and sisters-in laws, Nyx, Fiona and Fufu tells Ursula that although she was a "badass," they was much worse, and Fufu   throws a bag over her to kidnap her.
