** With TheReveal of how much Stella hated Stolas and didn't bother to remotely hide it even before she began trying to murder him, did Octavia really never notice how toxic her parent's marriage truly was? Or did she and was trying to pretend otherwise and was moreso mad that Stolas' affair with Blitzo forced all the issues out into the open in such a way that Octavia could no longer pretend it wasn't happening?

* HarsherInHindsight: Blitzo accidentally burning down Loo Loo Land becomes a lot less chaotically funny after learning that [[spoiler:[[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E6Oops a circus fire he accidentally caused resulted in Fizzarolli being horribly disfigured, his mother dying and essentially lead to his current miserable existence]]]], especially since both conflagrations were made of green Hellfire.

* HarsherInHindsight: It's almost prophetic that Loona's only line in this episode is an off-screen [[BigShutUp "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"]], considering that she herself hasn't had any lines since [[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E2SeeingStars the second episode of Season 2]].

* FranchiseOriginalSin: While it's a heartwarming and funny episode, "Loo Loo Land" has many of the hallmarks that would make the series much more divisive in the second season, such as IMP taking a job outside their usual profession, Loona having little to no screentime, an increase in character-based drama, and greater focus on Stolas and Blitzo's relationship at the expense of the other characters. Fortunately, all of these aspects are well-balanced in this episode, but not so much in later ones.

* HarsherInHindsight: Blitzo accidentally causing the circus tent in Loo Loo Land to burn along with destroying Robo-Fizzarolli seems hilarious. Then Oops reveals [[spoiler:Blitzo caused a fire in the circus he and Fizzarolli worked at, which resulted in burn scars for the two, Fizzarolli having robotic arms, and the implied death of Blitzo's mom.]]

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Is ''Fuck You Dad'' actually the name of the band, or was Octavia lashing out in the moment, and attempting to walk it back by after feeling guilty for insulting a father she genuinely cares for? Or alternatively, it isn't a real band, and she lies about it out of spite, to try and pull one over on Stolas while she's fuming at him? [[TakeAThirdOption Or is it more of the case of all the above?]]

** Is Robo Fizz a huge {{jerkass}}, or is he just uncharacteristically catty towards Blitzo? Most of his actions, like scaring baby Octavia and getting carried away at the show, are incidental at best and don't leave anyone seriously harmed. The worst thing Fizz does is attack Blitzo and unwittingly set off the Loo Loo Land fire, which he only does ''after'' Blitzo escalates the situation by shooting at him over [[DisproportionateRetribution playground insults that could have easily been shrugged off]].

"OZZIE'S" reveals that the real Fizz and Blitzo used to be close in the past so the bitterness could be based on their past.

These apply to more than one episode, so I'm moving them.


** Stella's ''reaction'' to Stolas and Blitzo is also interesting--while she's clearly angry, some of her wording (putting extra emphasis on the fact that Stolas was cheating with an Imp, i.e., a demon of lower status, getting furious at the idea of Stolas sleeping with Blitzo in a motel "like a fucking plebeian" and calling him an embarrassment) implies that the cheating itself isn't what angers her; she's just mad that Stolas, a high-ranking member of Hell's elite would be in any way interested in someone "lower" than him. If this is the case, then it could add some weight to the AwfulWeddedLife between them and possibly confirm that she and Stolas [[MarriageOfConvenience really didn't have feelings for each other after all]]. [[spoiler: The reveal in Episode 5 supports this, although it seems that Stella wants Stolas killed for his adultery in general.]]
** Did Stolas and Stella ever love each other? On the one hand, some of Stolas' lines in his song to Octavia imply he at least tried to make his marriage work; on the other, his halting attempts at explaining things to Octavia implies neither he nor Stella married for love. [[spoiler: Episode 5 supports the second part at the very least.]]

** When Blitzo offers to take the first watch over Stolas and Octavia, he winks at Moxxie and Millie when he tells them to "have fun". Does he [[PetTheDog actually expect them to have fun at the park]], or did he pick up on Moxxie's discomfort and use the situation to mess with him while still looking like a good boss? Or, given his preoccupation with their sex lives, did he mean for them to "have fun" as a euphemism [[ComicallyMissingThePoint which Millie took literally?]]
