Uncle Lewis used Vendredi's Antique Shop to disseminate cursed antiques in order to fulfill a bargain he made with Satan that would give him great wealth and immortality. For some reason he got fed up and broke his pact with Satan in "The Inheritance." Breaking a deal with Satan is serious trouble, as he learned when he got sucked down to Hell. Once in Hell he had another change of heart and tried to return to the material world in "Hellowe'en" by tricking Micki and Ryan into thinking he had reformed. Foiled by Micki, Ryan and Jack, he tried to return later by forcing Jack to trade places with him in Hell when he trapped Micki and Ryan in a deadly dreamworld in "Bottle of Dreams." Luckily, Jack managed to enter Micki and Ryan's dreamscape and retrieve them with the help of Rashid. In the next episode, "Doorway to Hell" Lewis tried one last time to escape Hell, this time by using mirrors, but was once again defeated by Micki, Ryan, Jack and Rashid.
