Randy's defeat resulted in a brief time of peace, but new threats emerge in the show's second half, as a powerful crime syndicate becomes interested in the recent occurrences, particularly the supernatural ones. Tommy, Tracy and Tapp are continuing their search for Raja after finding out the Demon King is living among them as a human. Their search is, unfortunately, hindered by the new leadership of L.A.P.D. and they are forced to rely on Theo and William's barely legal connections to continue their mission. TT and Lana, meanwhile, are trying to live a normal life, far from all of the madness, but are brought back when a relentless assassin named Seven attacks them. Lana informs Tommy of this and he soon makes a connection between Seven and the Cerberus, a powerful international crime syndicate, masquerading as a legitimate business conglomerate. Leslie Lingberg, one of the three "Heads of Cerberus" soon becomes a subject for investigation, but the extent of the Cerberus' power very quickly throws a wrench into that plan. TT encounters a mysterious blonde man, whom he remembers seeing back at Parson's. The man's motivations remain a mystery, but, despite seemingly threatening TT with the information on the connection between TT and Cerberus, he does save both TT and Lana from Seven, leading to a shocking revelation about the connection Seven has with the T-Gang.
