Murder Family
- Mrs. Mayberry's backstory very much qualifies. She was once a sweet, loving schoolteacher who was kind to all her students before she witnessed her husband cheating on her. Killing him and trying to kill his mistress in a blind rage, she realizes too late that the massacre happened in front of her students, and wracked with guilt over subjecting them to such a thing, she took her own life without thinking about turning off the camera, further traumatizing them. To add insult to injury, the mistress, Martha, survived and Mrs. Mayberry had to watch from Hell as Martha was hailed as a "hero" while she became known as that crazy bitch that killed her husband.
- This exchange between Mrs. Mayberry and her husband, right before she shoots him.
- Another layer of salt in the wound: in the montage of people praising Martha as a "hero", who is included? Mrs. Mayberry's own students. The same students she genuinely loved, despite her mental instability, ended up killing herself over, and were witnesses to what really happened. No wonder she's so pissed about the whole thing.Mrs. Mayberry: SHE IS NOT A HERO!!!!!
- While she may have gotten her revenge, Mrs. Mayberry is still damned to Hell, and will be remembered only as a "crazy bitch" back on Earth.
- As she says in her rant, it does not matter how much of a good person you are or try to be. One slip up is all it takes for a soul to be barred from Heaven and suffer eternal damnation.
- At the end of the episode, Moxxie saves Millie and Blitzo from being killed by Martha. Just as they go to leave, he heads back and has the human world's police sent to the family's home. When he returns to the portal, he turns around... and sees the police already there. Sadly, any hope for justice gets dashed, for the police helicopter suddenly fires a rocket to destroy the entire house and kill the rest of the family. Poor thing looks so defeated and broken up over it, especially during the celebration party.
Loo Loo Land
- Stolas' song for Octavia, which assures her that not even stars and planets last forever, and someday he'll be gone, but she'll be alright, and he'll always be with her. Even Stolas himself is tearing up by the end.And when Creation goes to die
You can find me in the sky
Upon the last day
And you will be okay...- In the same song, Stolas laments his crumbling marriage due to Stella's coldness, but he endures it all for his daughter.I used to think that I was bold
I used to think love would be fun
Now all my stories have been told
Except for one...
- In the same song, Stolas laments his crumbling marriage due to Stella's coldness, but he endures it all for his daughter.
- Octavia, Stolas' daughter, has to witness her parents' fights after her mom discovered that Stolas cheated on her with an imp of all creatures of hell. As many children of failing marriages are, she's both mad at her dad for ruining her family and making "home not feel like home anymore", but she's also scared her dad will just abandon her to run away with Blitzo and once she understood that her dad was really unhappy in his marriage she couldn't be angry with him anymore.
- When Octavia overhears her mother's violent outbursts, her first reaction is to instinctively turn her music volume up to drown out the noise. Even more tragic is that Stella doesn't even acknowledge her daughter's presence as she keeps throwing things at Stolas.
- Seeing how traumatized and frightened young Octavia is of Fizzarolli. Her response to seeing his tent after many years is an indicator that she may still be a bit afraid of him. It's also quite sad that Stolas thought she cried tears of happiness when the flashback indicates otherwise.
- Before their actual fight, Blitzo and Fizzarolli get into a verbal altercation. Fizzarolli points out that, while he may just be a robotic imitation of the real thing, people still love him, and then he tauntingly asks Blitzo if anyone loves him. Blitzo says "no" in a quick and succinct tone, one that is said so completely casually and matter-of-fact that it's... kind of sad.
- Especially so considering this is Blitzo - he openly calls his employees his family, but clearly he doesn't think any of them actually love him, not even the one who's also his adopted daughter. This line also implies that he thinks Stolas, despite evidence to the contrary (especially on Instagram), doesn't love him either and is possibly just using Blitzo for sex in exchange for use of his grimoire.
- This interaction becomes far more meaningful when one takes into account the reveal in “OZZIE’S” that Blitzo and the real Fizz were, if not in a relationship, then best friends, and it fell apart so hard that even Fizz’s robotic duplicates bear the grudge.
- Stolas' Loo Loo Land hat frowns when he takes it off, almost as if it's alive and sad at being thrown away...or, alternatively, that it's reflecting his own emotions at the moment.
- Stolas and Octavia's conversation on the roundabout ride is just heart-wrenching to listen to. Many a teenager and their parents have had conversations like this one, which is what makes it so scary and sad. It's where Octavia finally comes out to her dad just how much his behavior is hurting her, and where Stolas realizes just what he's done to his daughter.Stolas: Octavia. I take it you are... not having fun?
Octavia: (in tears) I didn't even want to come here!
Stolas: I'm sorry sweetie, I... thought you loved it here.
Octavia: [sniffs back more tears] When I was a kid and my parents didn't hate each other. And my dad didn't flirt with a weird, red dickhead the entire time...
Stolas: I'm sorry, Via. I'm sorry for... everything happening right now. I know it's a lot... I-I should have listened.
Octavia: I just wanna go home... but home doesn't even feel like home anymore. [sobs into her sleeve] You ruined it.
Stolas: You need to understand... your mother and I, I just... I felt... she's always been... I haven't been ha... We weren't in... [trails off again, looking very close to tears] I-I'm sorry, I don't have the words.
Octavia: ...Are you gonna run off with him? And leave me behind? Go away where I can't find you?
Stolas: What? No! [pulls her into a hug] No, no, never. I'd never do that. Never. (beat) I think it's time to leave this place. You were right; you are too old for it, anyway.- It's worth noting in Stolas and Octavia's talk near the end that the former can't quite explain why things went so wrong between him and his wife. He begins to say he hasn't been happy, and from the sounds of it, they never loved each other to begin with, but he just can't get the words out.
- Becomes much Harsher in Hindsight when following the events of The Circus, where we see that Stolas was very much like Octavia when he was younger, with the implication being that his marriage to Stella completely sucked the life out of him.
- It also makes Stolas' attempt to explain things hard to watch, as the viewer realizes that the reason, he "didn't have the words" was because, despite Stella's awful treatment of him, he couldn't bring himself to tell Octavia the truth. Stolas did everything he could to hide the worst aspects of their marriage from their daughter, and he didn't want to shatter the illusion that they were once happy.
Spring Broken
- Loona almost calling Blitzo "dad", then pulling a Verbal Backspace.
- While flirting with Vortex, Loona confesses to not having any friends.
- Blitzo turning around and finding that Loona has disappeared. While it's Played for Laughs, it's hard to ignore the panic in his voice.Blitzo: WHERE'S MY BABY??!!
- If the shout didn't get you, the argument between Loona and Blitzo on the beach probably will. As much of an asshole that Blitzo is, hearing Loona yell at him that he's not her real dad actually hurts his feelings.
Loona: Fuck, Blitz! Why can't you stay out of my face for, like, five minutes?!
Blitzo: Because I adopted you! And that should mean something!
Loona: Oh, what does it matter?! You're not my real dad! I was almost eighteen!
Blitzo: It still counts!
Loona: Well, it shouldn't! I didn't need you then, asshole! I don't now!
(Blitzo and Loona look away from each other, grimacing with their arms folded. Blitzo looks back at Loona, genuinely upset)- Even Vortex seems to briefly feel bad for Blitzo afterwards, despite Blitzo's hostile attitude towards him and his boss.
- What's more is that unlike Stolas and Octavia, Blitzo and Loona don't exactly reconcile by the end of the episode. Loona does mention that Blitzo will "get over it", but it's still quite sad.
- When Loona learns that Vortex already has a girlfriend, while grateful he invited her to a party, she still looks incredibly disappointed. The whimpering noise she makes despite smiling immediately after he says that makes it even sadder.
- When Blitzo confronts Verosika in the recording studio she is shown to have a tattoo, a heart with the name "Blitz" written inside of it. Except now it has a big cross over it. It seems likely that she loved Blitzo, only for him to break her heart by stealing from her. That fact that Blitzo is so desperate to be loved and believes that no one in his life does love him makes it even sadder. He had someone that truly loved him and through his own self sabotaging antics turned that person into a bitter enemy.
C.H.E.R.U.B
- The concerned paramedics assessing Loopty in the flashback after getting him out of the machine are saddened to find the machine had killed him before they arrived.
- C.H.E.R.U.B not only failing to protect Lyle, who ends up in Hell anyway, but getting kicked out of Heaven. While they weren't always the most pleasant bunch and were trying to protect the life of a person who was definitely not good, being completely exiled and prevented from ever returning home is a bit of an excessive and disheartening punishment. Deerie being a complete bitch about their building despair makes the situation even more saddening.
- Cletus looks and sounds exactly like a crying infant when the portal to Heaven closes right in his face. The moment isn't even undercut by a joke or declaring revenge against I.M.P— the last we see of Cletus is him sobbing his eyes out.
- It gets worse, mixed in with a little Fridge Horror — if the rest of Heaven is as unforgiving and draconian in its standards and punishments, you have to wonder if Charlie's dream has any hope of becoming reality, or if damnation and an annual cleansing is all she can hope for regarding her subjects in Hell... although if anyone's up to the task of fixing two broken systems as opposed to just one, it's Charlie.
- Lyle actually wonders what being in love would feel like, hoping it would be quite nice, but Blitzo ruins the dream by proving that no one would ever date someone as ugly and old as him, which destroys his Hope Spot. This scene tugs at the heart of any viewer who fears they will never find love and will either have to marry someone they don't like or, more poignantly, die old and alone.
- Worse, Lyle has only been old and gross for less than 24 hours. As a young man he might have had some success in finding love, but the chance was stolen from him forever in less than a minute.
- People in Hell can pick up TV from Heaven. Imagine, stuck in Hell forever, but able to at least see what it's like in Heaven, and never able to get there to experience it.
The Harvest Moon Festival
- When Blitzo calls Loona his daughter, she's quick to add that she's only his daughter on paper.
- Moxxie's attempts to prove himself to Millie's family don't go so well, and he finds himself upstaged by Striker at every turn. And it doesn't help matters when Blitzo considers hiring Striker on, further rendering him irrelevant.
- In the middle of his victory song, Striker tells Moxxie to go fuck himself. Moxxie glares back in response, but the tears in his eyes make it clear that the insult stung.
- Overall, the episode is a bit of a Deconstruction of the Extreme Doormat and Always Someone Better tropes; as it turns out, being the series' Cosmic Plaything and upstaged at every turn is not healthy for one's psyche and self-esteem, no matter how much slapstick comedy you pile on. By the middle of the episode poor Moxxie was at risk of being rendered completely redundant in I.M.P and you can tell he's taking it hard.
- Millie being wounded by a bear trap when Striker imprisons her and Moxxie. You can tell the latter's worried sick about her.
- While he was mostly playing it up to trick Striker during the whole We Can Rule Together speech, the doubtful look on Blitzo's face suggests that his foe's narrative — namely, that he debases himself for a rich noble who thinks of him as a toy, all for the sake of killing on behalf of disgruntled former humans who don't think much of him — stuck with him.
- And the thing is - Striker isn't wrong. When Stolas isn't openly lusting after Blitzo, he's talking down to him, treating him like a child and calling him demeaning nicknames, even when around other people. While Stolas does care for Blitzo, he clearly doesn't treat him as an equal, and Blitzo is understandably resentful, despite benefiting from their "relationship."
- The Reveal that Stella hates Stolas so much for his infidelity that she'd hire an assassin to try and have him killed.
- There are two possibilities for Stolas' reaction:
- Blink and you'll miss it, but Stolas seems to be taking it in stride as he eats dinner...only to pause and blink at Stella. You can almost hear his mind going, "wait, what?"
- Or alternatively (as suggested on several other pages here) this has happened to Stolas before, he knows it, and he knows he's powerless to stop it. The utter loneliness and emptiness in his life that would imply is just heartbreaking.
- Even worse is the fact that Octavia is there, wearing headphones and oblivious to it all.
- Considering how close Stolas and Octavia are, it's very sad to see that Stella apparently has no qualms about robbing her own daughter of her beloved father.
- Made even worse when you go through Octavia's Instagram and see how close she and Stella are. If Stella manages to go through with this, it will utterly destroy her.
- And then remember back in Loo Loo Land where Octavia's greatest fear seemed to be the possibility of losing her dad and realize that her own mother is trying to make that fear a reality.
- There are two possibilities for Stolas' reaction:
Truth Seekers
- He might not be pleasant or particularly professional in his job, but Agent One is seriously upset to be continually reminded that his fat mom is dead.
- When Loona is forced to close the portal after Blitzo and Moxxie get captured, Millie starts pounding at the wall where the portal used to be, sobbing in grief and rage, emitting feral, animalistic chittering noises we've never before heard her make. All the poor girl can do is sink to floor and whimper in despair.
- It's clear that Loona feels bad for Millie, but she has no idea what to do or say to comfort her.
- Millie almost breaks down again when Loona does open the portal...only to find that the boys are already gone. Thankfully, Loona steps in and gets on their trail before she can sink too far.
- While gassed with truth serum, Blitzo's segment of the musical number looks like a bad acid trip, with swirling imagery and the literal demons of his past taunting him over how, despite all his shitty behavior, he just wants somebody to love him. But because of his own toxic tendencies, images of self-worth and inability to understand intimacy, he's afraid he'll get hurt and ends up pushing people away before it might come to that. They outright ask him:
- The hallucination of Verosika should get special mention. She's covered in mud, her mascara is dripping down her face, and her beauty mark has taken the shape of a broken heart. And unlike the hallucinations of Fizzarolli and Striker, who loom menacingly over him, and Stolas who drags him in with chains, she crawls towards him and almost tenderly cradles his face. She mentions how Blitzo pushes away anyone who gets close until they resent him. It's possible that Verosika genuinely loved him, and he knows that he sabotaged their relationship out of his own insecurity.
- The reveal of how Blitzo views his relationship with Stolas. Stolas appears as a shining figure being fanned by silhouettes of Blitzo, and Blitzo attempts to ascend his ornate staircase, only to be knocked down and forced to crawl up to Stolas on his hands and knees; as he draws near, he's bound with gilded chains and dragged in. For all that they get along fine in the bedroom, it paints a deeply sad picture of their dynamic outside of it.
- This episode reveals that Blitzo's feelings for Stolas are tragically complicated. It's not entirely clear whether he harbors some feelings for Stolas, wants to love him, simply finds him sexy, or something else altogether, but whatever the case, he's all too aware of the power imbalance in their relationship. However, he can't simply leave, either, and not just because of the grimoire. Blitzo is so desperate for love and validation that he's willing to take whatever he can get, even if it's from someone who treats him with little to no respect. Essentially...he's trapped.
- Notice that out of all the hallucinations, Stolas is the only one that appears completely unchanged from his real-life counterpart. And as Blitzo ascends the staircase, the grime and sludge are cleaned away and his clown costume is replaced with his normal attire. Even with his neck and limbs wrapped in chains, Blitzo either sees his relationship with Stolas as the most loving and normal he's had thus far, his only escape from the life he was living, or a sordid mixture of both.
- The fact that in the previous episode, Striker pointed out to Blitzo that Stolas treats him like a plaything. In this episode, Stolas refers to Blitzo as his "impish little plaything," right in front of him.
- This episode also puts Blitzo's hatred of Robofizz in a new light—according to the imaginary Robofizz, Blitzo's short-lived time as a comedian was his attempt at doing a "solo act" that crashed and burned. On top of his simultaneous craving for and fear of love, Blitzo seems to believe that he can't succeed on his own. Blitzo also has posters in the office of what appears to be a circus act that he and his sisters used to perform together—making one wonder if he voluntarily left that to try to work alone and failed, or if something made the three siblings grow apart.
- Just as the truth serum leaks in, Blitzo snaps at Moxxie about how annoyed he is with his and Millie's lovey-dovey relationship, despite his simultaneous obsession with it as seen in the pilot. Moxxie's deduction that Blitzo is jealous of them is right-on-the-nose, but that jealousy seems to be darker and angrier than Blitzo let on.
- At the very end of Blitzo's half of the hallucination, he is taunted by all the imagined figure's voices, saying the same thing to him over and over, one after another. The thing that might just be Blitzo's deepest fear:"You're going to die alone, Blitzo!"
- Just the contrast between Moxxie and Blitzo's hallucinations in general is heartrending in itself. For Moxxie, he's sent to an outright Disneyesque musical number where, while Blitzo still gets under his skin and challenges him, the two are ultimately able to finish a duet together and come to a sweet, hopeful resolution. But this is what Moxxie saw - Blitzo's is a twisted, abstract sequence with a dark rock track where even Moxxie manifests as a voice of his own fears and tells him he's going to die alone, with it ending on him being consumed by a storm of constricting golden feathers while his screaming blends into the music. It's such a hard contrast that highlights just how poisonous and afraid Blitzo feels next to someone like Moxxie, who is ultimately in a happy, stable and mutually loving marriage.
- A small one, but when Millie unties the boys and goes to give Moxxie a cuddle, Blitzo is shown briefly holding his arms out as if waiting for a hug too.... but it never comes.
OZZIE'S
- Blitzo is so lonely that he obsessively follows Moxxie and Millie around on their anniversary.
- Stolas sitting at home alone in the dark, eating cereal at night and watching a hella-novella. The guy doesn't have much going on in his life, neither his wife nor daughter are anywhere to be seen. At one point he notes that Octavia is with her mother that weekend.
- Stolas's general demeanor, which is markedly more frantic than we've ever seen him before, toeing the line of pathetic. He overdresses because he wanted to "look a little nicer for [Blitzo]", fumbles over his words, orders three different kinds of alcohol. When Blitzo calls him in the first place, he chokes on his cereal and can't scramble for the phone fast enough. One gets the sense that he really needs for this to happen.
- It's even more sad when you remember that Blitzo only invited Stolas out so he could intrude on Moxxie and Millie's anniversary date, especially considering that Stolas was genuinely happy that Blitzo asked him out.
- Moxxie's heartwarming love song to Millie being hijacked and mocked by Fizzarolli and Asmodeus, making him a laughing-stock in the club for singing about love in a place devoted to lust. Rolls around to awesome when Millie knocks Fizz on his ass and lets Moxxie finish the song, though — and judging from the audience reaction, the crowd actually likes it! While they do get kicked out of the club (due to Millie smacking Fizz with the guitar), its clear they had a good night.
- A comparatively smaller one, but Asmodeus tearfully cradling Fizzarolli when Millie knocks him down. The guy's got zero business heckling anyone else about being sappily in love.
- Blitzo getting a musical The Reason You Suck speech from both Fizzarolli and Verosika who tell him his love life is "a pile of shit" and that he was a bad boyfriend respectively. And then Ozzie gets in on the action and calls out Stolas in front of everyone for being on a date with an Imp, and for seemingly giving up his "smoking hot" wife and daughter for a cheap thrill with a lower being. Both of them are humiliated on what was at first a nice, if awkward, date.
- Asmodeus summons images of Stella and Octavia who glare at Stolas with contempt. Stolas looks shocked at Stella, but absolutely crestfallen at Octavia. It's quite clear whose rejection hurts more.
- A quick moment but when Asmodeus walks over to the table Stolas tries to run away before Ozzie pulls him back into his chair. It's heartbreaking that his first response when confronted by his peers about his relationship with Blitzo is to run away. If he hadn't been stopped he would have just left Blitzo there in an even worse situation than before.
- There's a moment when Blitzo looks to Stolas desperately, almost like he's hoping Stolas will stand up for him like he did back on Earth. Instead, Stolas pushes his face into the menu out of embarrassment. The hurt expression on Blitzo's face and how he pulls away from Stolas's touch afterwards show just how betrayed Blitzo felt, and its likely this was the moment Blitzo came to the conclusion that he was just a "plaything" of the Demon Prince and would never be anything more.
- Likewise, Blitzo doesn't do anything to defend Stolas when the latter was being harassed either. This is in stark contrast to how Millie breaks a guitar over Fizz's head to let Moxxie finish singing, not caring for how Asmodeus might retaliate. The entire scene serves to contrast Moxxie and Millie against Blitzo and Stolas. It's pretty clear from Blitzo's uncomfortable obsession with Moxxie and Millie's relationship that he desperately craves that kind of genuine, loving relationship; it is equally clear that Blitzo and Stolas don't have that.
- There's some of this for Verosika as well here, following up on the previous episode's implications. As she sings about Blitzo, it becomes even clearer about how she was very hurt by whatever happened in their relationship. After pointing out what a selfish, unreciprocal lover he was, she describes him as "a reckless, heartbreaking freak".
- Adding to this is that Verosika, despite getting to chew out her ex in a much better fashion than in "Spring Broken", still doesn't leave the episode on a positive note as she's last seen sulkily swirling a wine glass and taking a drink while Moxxie sings the rest of his love song.
- The initial parts of the date: Blitzo initially ignores Stolas to spy on M&M with binoculars, and Stolas keeps trying to get his attention. From either perspective it's pretty sad: Stolas was excited for his date only to seemingly find Blitzo not paying him any attention, and Blitzo presumably thought Stolas wouldn't care to even bother talking with him so long as he paid off Stolas with some kind of sexual activity before the end of the night. It gets sadder when Stolas' persistent attempts to talk to Blitzo surprise him - simple questions like 'how was your day?' catch Blitzo off guard. If it hadn't been for the two of them getting thoroughly dressed down by Verosika, Fizzarolli and Asmodeus, the date could have gone much better and been a turning point for Stolas to show Blitzo he is interested in him for more than just sex (though likely with a different set of roadbumps, but still...)
- Stolas tries to compromise with Blitzo's rebuttal by offering to do things with him that don't involve sex, like talking, cuddling or watching a movie. His tone of voice as he tries to bargain almost comes across as pleading.
- Blitzo finally telling Stolas that he believes the Goetia Demon only views him as somebody to have sex with him in a fragile tone, driving off and leaving Stolas sitting on the steps of his manor, tearing up, alone and head in his hands.
- Blitzo telling Stolas point blank why he believes this to be the case; namely that Stolas makes it very clear every time they interact that all he's interested in is sex. And the worst part is, Blitzo isn't wrong. Stolas, for as long as Blitzo has known him, has consistently treated Blitzo like a personal sex toy. This episode marks the first time he's ever shown a serious, straightforward interest in romance. Thus, Blitzo has zero reason to believe that the invitation from Stolas isn't just more of the same, and thus zero reason to believe he can be vulnerable or safe around him. Stolas may actually want Blitzo (his reaction to the hella-novella certainly implies he does), but it's too little too late, and in the end, Stolas can only sit alone, neck-deep in the consequences of his own behavior.
- When Stolas leans down to speak to him, Blitz does a small motion of dragging his hand over his face in what implies he's anticipating having to find a way to refuse spending the night with Stolas. Stolas initially inviting him in for wine likely reinforced his suspicions, but it's depressing how certain he is that even Stolas saying he enjoyed spending time with him is all in the service of using Blitz for his body.
- Thanks to Brandon's gut-wrenching performance, it's clear throughout the entire scene in the van that Blitzo is doing everything he can to not break down in tears. He actually has to take a second to re-compose himself in the middle of his initial refusal of Stolas's offer before continuing. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice it didn't quite work. His "Reason You Suck" Speech is made even more painful because his voice is audibly breaking.
- The ending. Not even a glint of happiness here; it's a full-fledged Downer Ending.
- When Blitzo first enters his apartment, there are multiple pictures of people he cares for; Loona, Moxxie, Millie and even one picture of his sister, Barbie. Some of the photos even feature Blitzo himself... except his face is scribbled out, almost in an attempt to remove him from them. It's very likely that it was Blitzo himself who removed his face from these photos, implying that he either doesn't feel like he deserves the company of the loved ones he has, or even that he's the only one in the pictures that he harbors no love for.
- A Youtube reviewer put it best:“He really does hate himself. And they're giving us such a… sad background clue that he's put everything he loves around him… and made sure to remove himself from all of it.”
- Blitzo looking through his phone is heartwarming at first, showing a picture of him and Stolas in bed, then him photobombing Moxxie and Millie, then a picture of the day he hired Moxxie at I.M.P, and a picture of him and Loona with her adoption certificate. But it quickly turns heart-breaking as the next picture is himself and Verosika, smiling with their arms around each other and dressed up for a night out, then a younger Blitzo and Fizzarolli together as teenagers looking like a couple, and then again as little kids practicing being clowns together with big smiles on their faces. His relationship with his childhood friend and potential first boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend used to be so much better before both went downhill.
- The final photo is a young Blitz and Barbie Wire with their mother, a happy family photo that makes Blitz burst into Broken Tears and curl up into a pillow.
- There's also Blitzo's stunned expression when he comes across the final photo. It's almost like he forgot it was in his phone. He's so shaken by the picture that he just breaks.
- The last thing we hear before the end card is Blitzo's quiet, broken sobbing.
- Also, worth noting that while Blitzo's mother and sister are there, his father is nowhere to be seen. Recall that in the pilot, Blitzo implies that his relationship with his father is strained at best...
- And to highlight how much of a Downer Ending the episode is, it ends on a somber music-box like piece through the credits as opposed to a high energy song like previous episodes had.
Queen Bee
- Loona isn't used to going to parties and she suffers from nerves around crowds. She outright calls Blitzo to take her home.
- It's easy to see why Loona would be a bit put off after meeting Tex's girlfriend, Bee. As in Beelzebub. Not only is she a member of royalty as one of the Seven Deadly Sins, but she's also incredibly sweet, fun, friendly, powerful, and colorful. Even her clothing is similar in design to Loona's... only brighter and reminiscent of an acid trip. There's just no competition.
- Blitzo's role in this episode. After coming to the party to take Loona home, he is convinced to stick around and, desperate to numb himself from the pain of the events of the previous episode, ends up downing an extremely large amount of Bee’s mead and getting involved in an orgy. After he’s finally taken away from the party by Loona and brought back to their apartment, he drunkenly admits he’s had “a really shitty day” and has this to say:Blitz: Fuck, Fizz was right…I’m gonna die alone, aren't I? Just a wrinkly, old, withered… waste. Will you be there, Loony?
- Also, at the end of the episode, Blitzo is mentioning Millie, Moxxie and Stolas regretfully in his drunken mumbling.
- At first Loona didn't want to check up on her adopted dad at first as Vortex and Bee asked her to, justifying it as Blitzo being kind of a mess all the time and she knows him better. The only reason that she backed down and actually checked up on Blitzo was her seeing Vortex's sad reaction to her and Bee’s escalating argument.
- A blink-and-you-miss-it example, but poor Dennis (the imp Blitzo was making out with) looks heartbroken
◊ when Blitzo rejects him due to his name.
