He was still Andrew but he was Lash at the same time. Lash was killed by Hellfire after saving Quake from Hive. After Andrew returned from his vacation with May, Coulson asked him to look through the books S.H.I.E.L.D. found in Jiaying's office. One of the books was a list of names of inhumans, but Jiaying had placed a terrigen crystal inside the spine of the book in order to prevent any humans from reading it and as soon as Andrew opened the book he accidentally broke the crystal thereby releasing the mist and causing his body to become encased in a cocoon. When Andrew emerged from his cocoon he was relieved to still be alive, but he felt this strange desire like "a hunger on my mortal skin" that compelled Andrew to find other inhumans.

Eventually, Andrew tracked down an inhuman, that was when he transformed into Lash for the first time, and he killed that inhuman immediately. Lash then transformed back into Andrew and he felt a sense of relief. Andrew kept his identity as Lash secret from May as he feared she wouldn't understand and he, also, wanted to protect her. Andrew gave the list of inhuman names he got from Jiaying's book to Dwight Frye, who worked for the Social Security Administration, and with his computer skills began hunting down inhumans.
Coulson, May, and Lincoln secretly devise a plan to kill Hive; first Lincoln tricks Daisy into helping him escape the base by hacking into the autopilot of a Quinjet, but when the Quinjet arrives Hive is surprised to see Lash aboard the Quinjet instead of Lincoln. They knew Daisy was spying on them and she'd know about any plan they'd make therefore they had to trick Daisy into leading them to Hive. While Coulson and Lincoln had the others distracted, May secretly put Lash aboard the quinjet and Lincoln got off it just before Daisy has it take off. Lincoln is convinced that Lash's purpose is to kill Hive.
Lash and Hive begin fighting, but the fight is one-sided as Lash disintegrates Hive parasites before they can take control of him. Lash wounds Hive, but he is then attacked by a pack of Primitives which he quickly defeats. Daisy then arrives to defend Hive, but Lash uses his energy power on Daisy which, instead of killing her, removes and destroys the parasites that were inside her. Lash then carries Daisy back to the Quinjet, but is impaled through the chest by James' chain and killed. Daisy holds his hand as Lash breathes his last breath.

When Andrew transforms into Lash, he undergoes a physical transformation while also gaining several inhuman powers:
- Healing Factor / Regeneration : Lash is able to withstand various forms of attack such as Daisy Johnson and Lincoln Campbell's powers without succumbing to harm, as well as multiple gunshot hits. Bullets can still penetrate his skin and can possibly kill him.
- Superhuman Strength : Lash has demonstrated to have enhanced strength by how he was able to break free from the grip of Coulson's prosthetic hand and how he was able to shove Hive across the room. It is said that he can lift upwards of 1000 tons.
- Disentigration : Lash generates a kind of blue energy from his hands that causes any object he touches to turn to dust.
- Parasite Removal : When Lash uses his energy power on a person, it normally kills them and leaves a large hole in their chest. However, if Lash uses his energy power on an inhuman infected with Hive's parasites it removes and destroys the parasites thus freeing them from Hive's control. Furthermore, at least in Daisy's case, inhumans that Lash has freed from Hive become temporarily immune to Hive's parasites, but only for 1-3 days.
