* AdaptedOut: In the notes of Chapter 12, the author notes that "[[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E4CHERUB CHERUB]]" would not be adapted for the story, and would rather happen offscreen, due to their dislike of the episode, not knowing how to work Octavia into the narrative and because, as of ten, it had no bearing on the overall story.

* AdaptedOut: ActorAllusion: Blitzo is a big fan of Katie Killjoy, loving her voice in particular, both of whom are voice by WebVideo/BrandonRogers.

** Played With in regards to [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E7Ozzies OZZIE'S]] and [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E8QueenBee Queen Bee]]. While the episodes themselves don't get played out, with Moxxie & Millie's anniversary happening in-between the first two books, we get some version of the episodes; the big family meeting at Asmodeus during the first story's finale and a yet revealed series of chapters in the second one.
* AdaptationDeviation: Unlike the first book, which followed the episode-to-chapter order mostly consistently, the order of events for season 2 are much more jumbled. [[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E5UnhappyCampers Unhappy Campers]] is now the first episode getting adapted and [[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E1TheCircus The Circus]] is so far planned on being the fourth.



* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: With [[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E5UnhappyCampers Unhappy Campers]] being the first episode to get adapted, Barbie makes her five episodes earlier than in canon.



** Millie gently request that Blitzo let Moxxie to take charge on their next mission, after their mixed Anniversary night. Blitzo initially refuses...letting him take charge of the next three missions if all goes well, much to Millie's delight.



* TheCameo: Katie Killjoy & Tom Trench make a speaking cameo on the radio in Book 2, Chapter 2, talking about new tunnels emerging in Pentagram City, much to Blitzo's amusement.



* ConfessInConfidence: Millie often acts as I.M.P.'s unofficial therapist, listening to their troubles and promising to keep their secrets. She refuses to tell Blitzo about something troubling Octavia, even as he's threatening her, not wanting to shatter the girl's trust in her; she gets Blitzo to back up telling him that even if she was to tell him Via's secrets, that would likely break his trust in her, and he'd never tell her anything again.



* FalseConfession: After Angosin's death, a note was found seemingly written by the Prince himself, claiming responsibility for the death of Queen Aalto and for false framing Stoals before turning the spell on himself. Both Stolas and Vine agree that the confession is likely a coincidence due to the timing, but are unable to prove the authenticity of it.



* FrameUp: When Blitzo first meets the Baron, who asks him about Octavia, the imp is more than happy to throw his former shitty job under the bus, claiming that they're protecting her there and they discriminate against imps, throwing the mad leader off his trail while he takes Octavia home.

** [[spoiler: After Queen Aalto's graphic death, Prince Angosin framed Stolas for her murder, despite his assurances that he was innocent, for seemingly unknown reasons. Then days later, Angosin was found dead in a similar state as Aalto, claiming it to be suicide, though both Stolas and King Vine agree the timing was too convenient, causing both to agree it was a frame job; Vine believing Stolas had Angosin killed to cover his tracks, but was unable to produce any evidence.]]



** During their chat in the second chapter of Book 2, Loona accidentally reveal that she knows more about the circumstances of Stolas' marriage and Stella's parents than he has told her. Once he finds out how, he's fine with it and gives Loona a more thorough rundown of what happened.



** Stryker is still hired [[spoiler:by a female Goetia]] to assassinate Stolas at the Harvest Moon Festival with a heavenly rifle, but his employer is ''not'' Stella this time and has entirely different motives behind the hit.

** Octavia keeps Blitzo from spying on M&M during their big anniversary dinner, but that seemingly changes very little from the imps POV, as Ozzie & Fizz still crash Moxxie's big musical number, but the two still end the day on a happy note.



* LivingLieDetector: Prince Angosin was a Goetia Demon with the power to perfectly tell when someone was lying. This skill was often used by the Sins and other powerful demons to discover conspiracies and lies that could prove damaging to Hell. One of these cases was figuring out who killed King Vine's queen Aalto. Angosin used his then trustworthy position to frame Stolas for the murder, for as of now unknown reasons.



* MissingMom: The identity of Duke Crocell's mother is left a mystery, even to most of Hell, with only Leviathan knowing about it.



* StrippedToTheBone: This was the horrible fate of King Vine's wife Queen Aalto, who was found in her room stripped of her flesh and muscle leaving only a bloodied skeleton. The same fate happened to Prince Angosin, who claimed to have been the one responsible for Aalto's death and that he had turned the spell on himself.



* TaughtToHate: King Vine's son, Duke Crocell, spent most of his life knowing about Stolas through his own father's hatred of the prince, whom he blamed for his first wife's death. As a result, Crocell grew up believing that Stolas had wronged his family in a way, and that he therefore deserved to be punished and hatred. Feelings he would carry well into adulthood.



* TunnelNetwork: Katie mentions a mysterious network of tunnels forming underneath Pentagram City, that has since causing so much property damage, hundreds have complained to the higher ups to have something be done about it.



* VillainEpisode: The final chapter focuses on the antagonists for this book and the series as a whole (Baron, C.H.E.R.U.B. & D.H.O.R.K.S., Striker, [[spoiler:Marquis Phenix]], Andrealphus and Eathelin), setting up their goals and storylines for later books, and revealing their part in the greater plot.

to:

* UptownGirl: Gender Inverted. Aalto, a commoner hellborn Possesor, married King Vine, an Ars Goetia, one of the highest positions of power in Hell. The marriage caused a great deal of controversy and eventually lead to Aalto's assassination.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: In the first chapter of Book 2, Octavia bitterly reflects that if she had just tried to find her mom and dad again, instead of blindly believing Baron's story and staying with Blitzo, she could've avoided years of heartache and depression, by realising that her parents never actually abandoned her.



** InnocentlyInsensitive: In response to Blitzo playfully calling her a bitch, Octavia innocently jokes that he shouldn't be surprised as he's met her mother. She gets halfway through, before realising what she has said and remembering his trauma involving Stella and Eathelin, but not before triggering her father, causing her to flee to the bathroom in shame.



* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: While it's more Like Grandmother Unlike Daughter, Blitzo is still unable to believe that such a kind, sweet and innocent soul like Octavia, could be related to someone so vile, cruel and monstrous as her grandmother Baroness Eathelin.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Loona LOVES bacon! Her breakfast is usually never without a large plate of the stuff.

** Striker used to have a lot of respect for both Baron and Blitzo, seeing the former as a inspiring revolutionary, finally taking a stand against the abuse the Ars Goetia put thelower hellborns through and the latter as an ambitious and likeminded imp who built himself from the ground up, much like him. Upon meeting both however, his view of them was ruined. He found Baron to be a crazy, wannabe messiah who acted like he was as great as the royal demons themselves. As for Blitzo, he was disappointed when the imp decided against working with him, instead choosing to save the life of his target.

** We also get a brief show of Stella's parenting towards Octavia during Chapter 22. While she did love her, she often had difficulties showing this love openly, believing doing so would make her and Octavia look vulnerable in the eye of the public. As such, she was much more emotionally distant compared to Stolas.

[[spoiler: Later on, Stella admits to Loona that she never hugged Octavia because she was terrified that she would, even if by accident, touch Octavia in an inappropriate way, like her mother did.]]



* TheUnHug: As a young child, Octavia gave her mother Stella a surprise hug for helping her with her foot. Stella, not one for open displays of affection, takes a while to hug her back and when she does it's quite stiff, wants to end it as soon as possible and afterwards request that Octavia be more careful about showing her emotions openly.

* OrderedApology: In exchange for allowing Stella to talk to her on occasion, Loona demands she apologize for her treatment of her over the years. While she is strongly against it and it comes off as rather flat, Stella eventually swallows her pride and does so.
* OverlyLongScream: Stella screams for over a minute after finding out Blitzo has been raising Octavia all this time.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Marquis Phenex, has lost all but one of his children, his daughter having been poisoned by her jealous siblings, whom he killed in retribution.
