A Divine (Romantic) Comedy
is a Hellaverse/The Owl House crossover written by Dystopian God.
Beginning before the events of Hazbin Hotel and following the epilogue of Luz's adventures on the Boiling Isles, Lucifer's fellow sins take note of his depression from his divorce with Lilith and strive to help him with it. To do so, they take him to a bar in the human world, but just as quickly lose track of him. The King of Hell, now alone, stumbles into another bar entirely and meets a woman named Camila Noceda.
Thus, a romantic (divine) comedy ensues.

A Divine (Romantic) Comedy provides examples of:
- Abusive Mom: Averted with Stella, surprisingly. While she isn't necessarily a good parent to Octavia, Stolas notes that Stella never struck their daughter, which is why he's (begrudgingly) willing to let Stella have contact with her.
- Accidental Hero: When Lucifer publically announces that he approves of Asmodeus' relationship with Fizzarolli (mostly just to support his friends as a thank you for dating advice), he unwittingly sets off what can generously be described as a Civil Rights Movement in Hell. Stella's attempts to ruin Stolas are kneecapped, various celebrities and public figures come out about their secret interracial relationships with imps, and Beelzebub and Vortex start their own movement in support for equal rights for hellhounds.
- Actually Pretty Funny: Eda and Raine apparently laughed themselves sick when they heard the conspiracy theory that Luz is their secret love child that was sent to be raised in the Human Realm.
- Adaptational Karma: Odalia, who never faced any real consequences for her actions in canon, is noted here to have gone to prison at some point.
- Adaptation Origin Connection:
- During a lesson on the true history of Bardic magic, it's implied that Bardic magic has some connection to Hell. The one who taught Bard magic to the people of the Isles is said to have come from "Hela", believed to be a different Titan body, and the name "Amdusias", a demon of the Ars Geotia associated with music, apparently keeps coming up in the tablets Amity found on the subject.
- Malphas was apparently a member of the Ars Goetia, before leaving Hell and being assumed dead.
- The Archivists are implied to be Angels, since Lucifer mentions working with them on a design idea for Creation that got scrapped.
- Emily is the founder of C.H.E.R.U.B., of which Cletus, Collin and Keenie are only three low-ranking members of a presumably larger organization.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:
- In the Hellaverse, due to legal issues, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss aren't allowed to interact with each other at all. As such, the Sins' exact relationship with the Morningstar family is left unknownnote . Here, they're closer to a case of Evil Is One Big, Happy Family (albeit very dysfunctional) and are considered Charlie's honorary aunts and uncles.
- Chapter 16 reveals Crimson to be Mammon's right-hand man. In Helluva Boss, there's nothing to suggest that Crimson and Mammon have any association with each other.
- Chapter 17 reveals that Emily is in charge of the cherubs of CHERUB.
- Always Identical Twins: When Lucifer's twin brother, Michael, appears in a flashback during Chapter 15, he's shown to pretty much be an exact copy of Lucifer in terms of appearance. The only real difference between the two is that Michael's Blush Sticker is blue, contrasting Lucifer's red.
- Anger Born of Worry:
- Charlie spends the end of Chapter 2 and much of Chapter 3 in a state of this, brought about by the stress from her father going missing. After he returns, she lashes out at him for making her worry so much before receiving a Cooldown Hug and calming down.
- Stolas gives Blitzø an honest Love Confession (complete with an Asmodian crystal as proof) before leaving, thinking Blitzø won't want to see him again now that the business side of the relationship is now over. Blitzø responds by yelling in his face that he can't just walk out of his life after realizing that Stolas' affection was completely genuine.Blitzø: You absolute piece of shit! You don't get to just cut me out of your life after dropping all of that on me! Oh no, you were a rich royal asshole! Big fucking deal! I'm poison to everyone around me and yet you still wanted to be with me! I've been thinking for months you didn't even like me and now you not only drop this on me you go, 'Oh bluh bluh, i'm just gonna leave and never talk to him again!' Are you high!? You don't get to decide if I want to keep you in my life or not, asshole! If i want to kiss you on your beautiful beak then you better believe i'll do it! In public! Where everyone can see!
Stolas: You… you want to kiss me?
Blitzø: Of course I want to kiss you, you absolute piece of shit! You said you loved me so guess what? You're stuck with me now whether you like it or not!
- Asshole Victim: The job that brought Blitz and Loona to Gravesfield has them kill a Dirty Cop who joined the force solely to feel powerful by putting others down, and who killed a drug addict and bragged about it to his fellows, only to be forced to flee and hide because the addict's father was a criminal with enough influence to put a price on his head. Not someone to feel sympathetic about.
- Been There, Shaped History: Mammon apparently gave advice on how to form and run the East India Company, and also inspired Adam Smith to write The Wealth of Nations.
- Beneath Notice: This is a major reason, alongside them saving Camila from Jacob Hopkins, why Lucifer hires I.M.P to bodyguard Charlie during her work with the hotel. As he muses in Chapter 6, he can't send anyone too high on Hell's hierarchy for risk of causing her to feel patronized and alienated. Sending Sins, Overlords, or royal guards is a no-go, but an imp run assassination group from outside Pentagram City? They fit the bill quite well.
- Big Damn Kiss: While Lucifer and Camila did drunkenly kiss back in the first chapter, they have their first official, full-on kiss in Chapter 15 after their third date concludes.
- Birds of a Feather: Part of why Camila and Lucifer start falling in love is due to their many shared similarities. Both absolutely love their respective daughters, both understand the pain of loss (Camila through the death of her husband, Lucifer through divorce), and both are complete dorks.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: This comes up a few times with the denizens of Hell to show how different their mindsets are from humans. A minor example occurs in Chapter 16 in regard to Succubi/Incubi, where Hell's news catches a glimpse of Verosika Mayday on a date with Barbie Wire. The two are doing cutesy couple stuff like holding hands and giggling, all of which are pretty normal by human standards. But as succubi/incubi practically run on hypersexual nymphomania, such a wholesome romance is horrifying to them. A couple even react as if they were witnessing a war crime while another faints in shock at the news.
- Comical Overreacting: After the other Sins lose track of Lucifer at the bar, they are understandably worried that something happened to him and employ various demons to track him down. This results in Lucifer's disappearance going public in Hell, leading to full-on anarchy and an understandably distraught Charlie nearly being coronated as the new reigning Queen of the realm in under 24 hours.
- Contrived Coincidence:
- Blitz and Loona, in the human world for a hit, end up in the same restaurant as Lucifer and Camila, and then Jacob shows up.
- Later Collin, Cletus, and Keenie find their way to Gravesfield.
- Cuteness Proximity: Both Charlie and Vaggie find Angel Dust's pig, Fat Nuggets, to be absolutely adorable. In the latter's case, it takes almost all her willpower not to gush over how cute he is because she doesn't want to give his owner the satisfaction.
- Date Peepers:
- Luz and Vee insist on spying on Camila's first official date with Lucifer/Lucius, both to document it and in case Lucious isn't what he seems, with Masha getting dragged along to keep the two of them out of trouble. Unlike most examples, Camila's completely aware of this from the get-go and shrugs it off, only caring that her daughters don't cause too much trouble while they're doing it, though she does get a little frustrated when Vee takes the form of a stereotypical French waiter to intervene during an awkward moment.
- Charlie also gets in on things by sending Dazzle to monitor the date and report back to her, wanting to make sure that Camila isn't a Gold Digger or something.
- Didn't Think This Through:
- As his fellow sins point out, Mammon placing a bounty for Lucifer's location was a poorly thought-out solution to their leader's disappearance, in contrast to the others just telling their subordinates to be on the lookout for what his human disguise looks like without mentioning names. This ends up being the big clincher that led to Lucifer's disappearance (and suddenly renewed love-life) going public in Hell.
- Charlie has Dazzle spy on her father's date with Camila...forgetting that he doesn't understand language, so his "notes" consist mainly of the word "Baa" over and over, with a few doodles of his new rival Stringbean and what appears to be Camila and Lucifer thrown in.
- Despite getting a taste of what Lucifer can do, Jacob still tries to attack him (and Camila), in a public cafe, with just a crucifix and a knife. He also forgets that Blitz, who's a demonic assassin, is also there with his daughter, said daughter pinning him with ease. Even before that, he assumes that just because he's recorded Blitz and Lucifer in their true forms that he can get them to let him dissect them.
- Amity gets Eda's help in getting a ring to propose to Luz with... forgetting that Eda has trouble keeping big secrets like that when she's got apple blood in her system. She even admits that she should have considered that after learning that pretty much everyone in their circle of friends except Luz knows of her plans by now.
- Collin is so happy when he thinks Camila is an agent of Heaven who can get them home, he immediately goes to inform his fellow Cherubs. It's only after they question him that he realizes he forgot to ask for her name.
- Divorce Is Temporary: Charlie (and even her father to an extent) certainly hoped this would be the case and that her parents would get back together at some point or another. Lucifer finding love again with Camila thoroughly quashed what little hope she had for him and Lilith reconciling.
- Dragon Hoard: When Lucifer comes to visit Mammon in order to get advice on how to run a business in order to keep his human facade to Camila after telling her that he runs one, it's noted that the latter is reclining on his pile of money like a dragon.
- Dramatic Irony:
- During their second date, Camila briefly suspects that "Lucius" might be another ruler of the demon realm. Unknown to her, he is the ruler of a demon realm. Just not the one she thinks.
- After learning that Luz, Vee, and Masha are spying on her and Lucius' date, Camila asks if his daughter would do anything similar, to which he replies that she's too busy to try anything like that. Of course, the readership knows that Charlie's very much doing so by way of Dazzle monitoring their evening in her stead.
- Lucifer engages in a text conversation with Camilla in front of the Goetia. Stolas figures their conversation must be outright lurid, but they are really just exchanging duck-related jokes.
- When Camila finds Collin behind the vet clinic, she assumes that he's an injured demon from the Isles instead of a cherub from Heaven, and he assumes from her comments of seeing beings like him before that she's an agent of Heaven, specifically Emily.
- Stolas finally got his hands on an Asmodean crystal so Blitz can continue his business without relying on his grimoire, and fixing the power imbalance between the couple. He arrives at I.M.P.'s office to personally deliver it as Blitz and Loona are moving out for their new job as bodyguards, rendering the whole thing pointless.
- Elective Monarchy: While styling itself as a republic and mostly functioning as a parliamentary one, the post-Belos Boiling Isles government also has shades of this, with Raine having been elected leader and granted the title of "Sovereign".
- Enemy Civil War: According to Eda, several of the Coven Heads tried to take over the Boiling Isles post-canon, only to fall victim to infighting over who would actually be in charge.
- Entertainingly Wrong:
- When Bee smells Camila's perfume on Lucifer after he returns to Hell, she, the rest of the Sins, and Charlie all initially assume that he hooked up with Lilith again.
- Despite the rampant theorizing, no one in Hell even really considers the idea that Lucifer's new paramour is a living human, with the closest that anyone gets being when Velvette of the Vees briefly suggests that she's a human witch wanting to birth the Antichrist. While Camila is the mother of Human Witch Luz, and has also dabbled in Glyph Magic herself, she has no intention of birthing any sort of Antichrist and is currently unaware of her new paramour's true identity. Even Ozzie and Fizz, who Lucifer goes to for dating advice, and thus get more information than most of Hell, assume that things like Camila not having access to Hell's news or internet, and Lucifer's reluctance to bring her to Ozzie's, is because she's an Imp from Wrath or Sloth, not a human.
- Lucifer senses that Vaggie is an angel almost immediately due to the heavenly energy emanating from her and assumes Charlie knows that she's an angel as well, when canon shows that she most certainly does not.
- Luz and Vee believe that Lucifer is a vampire or a witch from another Titan corpse that escaped the Demon Realm, using magic to cheat the system on Earth to get rich.
- Related to the above, they assume that Dazzle is a demon from the Isles, not Hell, after Stringbean informs them of the spy.
- When Camila finds an injured Collin behind the vet clinic, she assumes that he's either one of the animals Eda accidentally gave intelligence to or a demon from the Isles instead of a cherub, leaning towards latter after seeing his golden angelic blood. Similarly, Collin takes Camila's mention of seeing beings like him as her being an agent of Emily.
- Later, when the Cherubs spy on Eda and Raine and hear them mention being witches, they fear they're planning to sacrifice Camila to The Devil when they catch them talking to her. For extra Dramatic Irony, Lucifer himself is present, albeit in a Human Disguise, with Eda and Raine oblivious to his true nature and presumably not familiar enough with human religions to know who he is even if they suspected something.
- Everyone Has Standards:
- While also impressed by it, Andrealphus is horrified when Stella tries to direct an upset Lucifer at Stolas.
- Father Lucas of the Saint James Catholic Church of Gravesfield may not be a fan of Luz, but even he hates Jacob's antics and is glad that he got arrested (even if he sought out another priest for confession for thinking that). He also implicitly respects Masha's pronouns.
- Everyone Knew Already: Amity confided in Eda to get help preparing for her proposal to Luz, only for Eda to get so excited about it that she told everyone except Luz.
- Fair-Weather Friend:
- During Vox's interview with Velvette in Chapter 4, the fashion/social media Overlord states that she'd have tried to bag Lucifer had the opportunity ever presented itself. When Vox laughs at the notion that she'd ever leave the Vees for a shot at being Lucifer's paramour, her casual, uncaring silence makes it clear that, yes, she most certainly would ditch her Villainous Friendship with Vox and Val for more power without a second thought.
- Stolas mentions Octavia had several friends, but they stopped hanging out after his affair with Blitz came to light.
- It's implied that before he became a Fallen Angel, the Archivists worked under Lucifer's direction. When the incident with Eve and the forbidden fruit had him banished to Hell, the Archivists snubbed him and got on with their lives while the Six Sins stuck by him.
- Freak Out: Moxxie and Millie's response when Blitz calls to blithely inform them that I.M.P. is being dissolved (and scrapped from any official records), especially since this could leave them both jobless with a baby on the way.
- Gilligan Cut: In Chapter 15 Father Lucas wonders what "poor soul" is listening to the Devil right then, and what evil acts they were planning together. Cut to Lucifer and Camila watching clouds together.
- Good Shepherd: Played With in regard to Father Lucas, the local pastor of Gravesfield. While he looks down on Luz and Masha for having a positive view on witches and demons, his attitude doesn't reach Knight Templar levels, and he does seem to genuinely want what he believes is best for his community.
- Interrupted Intimacy: Downplayed in Chapter 10. Lucius/Lucifer and Camila are about to share a kiss on their second date, but Jacob Hopkins crashes through the window and starts threatening them with a cross and knife.
- Interspecies Romance: Aside from canonical examples like Luz and Amity (human and witch) and Charlie and Vaggie (demon and angel), the main core of the story is the growing romance between Lucifer and Camila (fallen angel and human).
- Irony:
- Blitz brushed up on the spells in Stolas' grimoire and finally learned how to cast a human disguise on himself, rather than walk around in a Paper-Thin Disguise. After Lucifer spots him and Loona, he internally complains the two are barely hiding the fact that they're from Hell (noting the latter has a pentagram on her shirt), unaware this is a step up for them in terms of subtlety.
- Prior to joining CHERUB, Collin was a therapist in Heaven who helped Winners that experienced particularly traumatic deaths. A year spent exiled to Earth has left him with severe issues, having to stop himself from spiraling multiple times and is borderline suicidal after a rough day, leaving him in desperate need of a therapist himself.
- Joke and Receive: Upon seeing Lucifer in his human disguise but not knowing that it is Lucifer, Blitz and Loona start joking about crashing the King of Hell's date, only to realize that that's exactly what is going on.
- Kent Brockman News: Like in canon, news in Hell definitely qualifies. At 666 News, Tom is the only one who objects to his coworkers saying that Lucifer is probably dead when it's been less than 24 hours since he was last seen, just for starters.
- Love Confession: Chapter 19 ends with Stolas and Blitzø having a heart-to-heart about their relationship. Stolas confesses that he genuinely loves Blitzø and gives him an asmodian crystal (removing the need for his grimoire, thus freeing Blitzø of what little power Stolas had over him) as proof. When Stolas tries to leave, convinced that Blitzø doesn't need him anymore, Blitzø angrily rebukes his expectations by admitting that his feelings are mutual (albeit with a lot more swearing).
- Missing Steps Plan: Played for Drama with CHERUB, who aim to try and get back into Heaven's good graces and have their exile revoked, but have no idea how to do so. This clearly wears on them emotionally, even as they struggle to survive from day to day.
- Morphic Resonance: When Stringbean encounters Dazzle at the end of Chapter 8, she shapeshifts into an exact copy of him, save for retaining her purple coloration.
- My Significance Sense Is Tingling: While spying on Camila's second date, Vee senses an incredibly strong magic appear and disappear suddenly, noting that it felt "spicy". It's made clear what she sensed was the portal to Hell opening and closing, Lucifer having just arrived in the human world for his date with Camila.
- Mythology Gag:
- Lucifer's last name while on Earth, Magne, is in reference to the last name the Morningstar family originally had in the Hazbin Hotel pilot.
- Luz's outfit when spying on her mother's date has her wear a striped shirt and a green jacket like her "Beta" design. Stringbean even shifts into a beanie.
- Noodle Incident:
- Amity and Hunter apparently once almost strangled each other after getting caught up in one of Luz and Vee's debates on whether aliens exist.
- At some point around a century ago Malphas left Hell for the human world and then somehow ended up in the Boiling Isles.
- At one point the cherubs tried to use a radio station to contact Emily in Heaven, only for the attempt to literally blow up in their face.
- Oh, Crap!: Blitz and Loona's reaction when they realize they're accidentally date-crashing Lucifer's date.
- Only Sane Man: Tom is the only member of 666 News to object to the network declaring that Lucifer is probably dead despite no solid evidence and it being less than a day since he was last seen. Predictably, his coworkers ignore him.
- Open Secret: Because Eda Cannot Keep a Secret when she has apple blood, pretty much everyone except Luz knows that Amity is planning on proposing to her.
- Parental Sexuality Squick: While happy for her father, Octavia becomes queasy whenever he and Blitz express affection in front of her, especially with how sexual their flirting can get.
- Parental Substitute: Lilith has become this to Amity, who notes that she's more of a mother to her than Odalia ever was.
- Parent with New Paramour: This ensues for both Luz and Charlie when they learn that their parents are dating again. In Luz's case, after some comforting from both Stringbean and Camila help her with, she becomes very receptive to the idea, simply glad that her mom's finding happiness again. In Charlie's case, she's...less than okay with it, to put it mildly, having hoped Lucifer and Lilith would get back together and being downright scornful of her father's new girlfriend, much to her guilt.
- Pregnant Badass: Millie is five months pregnant when the story starts, and her first scene has her riding and eventually slaughtering a Hell Pig while standing on its back. Moxxie is terrified the whole time, but Joe assures him that Lin was the same way when she was pregnant with Millie herself, and suspects his and Millie's child will be a handful because of it.
- Puppy-Dog Eyes: Luz and Stringbean (with the latter actually turning into a puppy to do so) give these to Eda to try and convince her to go on a double date with "Lucius" and Camilla in order to keep an eye on him. It doesn't work, as Eda is unmoved.
- Rascally Raccoon: A group of raccoons manage to outflank and rob Collin of the food he's managed to grab for himself and the other cherubs, injuring him in the process.
- Sex for Solace: Lucifer and Camila's extended conversation about their lives and angst ends with them in bed at a motel across from the bar they first met. They decide to start dating normally after Lucifer brings her breakfast in the morning.
- Shared Family Quirks: The story makes it clear that Luz is indeed Camila's daughter by how they act with their romantic interests. Camila once said "Crikey" in front of a romantic interest and was embarrassed by it like Luz did in "Clouds on the Horizon", and when Luz sees Camila smile and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear when thinking of "Lucius" she's reminded of how she acts around Amity.
- Shipper on Deck:
- After seeing how happy her mother is when she starts dating again, and after some mixed feelings due to them meeting in Manny's favorite bar that Stringbean helps her through, Luz becomes very supportive of her budding romance with Lucifer/Lucius. Vee ends up being very much the same after Luz tells her.
- Lucifer is this for his daughter and her girlfriend, Vaggie, despite knowing she's a Fallen Angel. As he notes, she comforted Charlie and protected her from him due to the pain he unknowingly caused her. Seeing that was enough to convince him that the two were a good match.
- Averted with Charlie, who, on the other hand, still had hope that Lucifer would get back together with Lilith. As such, she does not take the news that he's dating someone new well.
- Camila, as in canon, ships Lumity, having practically gushed about her daughter and her girlfriend to everyone who came in to the clinic after Luz officially came out.
- Shout-Out:
- When Loona holds Jacob down after his attempt to attack Camila with a knife, she shouts, "Arm-bars everywhere!"
- Collin says "clever girl" when he sees how the raccoons outflanked him. And in his POV, he later refers to raccoons as "trash pandas".
- Eda mentions how Adrian tried to take over the Boiling Isles by pretending Belos had come back to life, including keeping his remains in a jar. This was an arc in MoringMark's comics.
- Charlie avoiding marrying Vaggie because she believes that her lover is a Sinner and would easily be redeemed if they didn't keep sinning via having premarital sex comes from a Twitter fancomic.
- The title of Chapter 19 seems to be a reference to Prince.
- Lucifer recollects at one point how he and the Sins went down to Georgia and lost a music contest to "a schmuck named Johnny".
- Sickeningly Sweethearts: Luz and Amity, as ever. The Bardic Studies class is also known as the “Lumity Power Hour" among other students, because whenever Amity visits the two of them gush and try to one-up each other with cheesy romance songs before a captive audience. In Chapter 12, the rest of the Hexsquad, fresh after Power Hour, tuned Luz and Amity out completely for over five minutes when they were talking about Lucius/Lucifer because they assumed that the two were still doing it. Camila even lampshades that she knew that they were together almost immediately because of how they acted together even before Luz officially came out to her.
- Side Bet: The Hexsquad set up a betting pool on what "Lucius" actually is, with Eda also getting in on it by betting "weregiraffe".
- Slut-Shaming: During her breakdown in Chapter 4, Charlie engages in this towards Camila, internally lambasting her as a "scarlet woman" and "floozy" who seduced her father with her "physical wiles", though she ultimately regrets thinking this of her.
- Take That!:
- Luz is comically horrified when she learns that Lilith was a fan of the Demon Realm version of The Twilight Saga.
- At one point Camila mentally shudders at a Cosmic Frontier episode involving salamanders, a reference to the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Threshold".
- Tempting Fate:
- As Mammon bemoans Imp rights being the topic of discussion, he sarcastically asks if Hellhounds will be next. The next channel has Bee announce that she's going to start working on just that, spearheaded by her boyfriend.
- Eda, Raine, and Lucifer all state the double date should go without any trouble whatsoever.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Blitz's idea of "subtly" dealing with the Dirty Cop that he and Loona have come to Gravesfield to assassinate — drive a car into the cabin he's hiding in, set the whole place on fire with flamethrowers, and then chuck some grenades at him.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: After the mess of their second date, Lucifer and Camila's third date, a picnic in the park, goes off without a hitch.
- Time Skip: The story is set a few years after the events of The Owl House. To give an idea, the author has stated that Luz and Amity are 20, with Luz nearing 21, meaning the events of the fic take place 2-3 years following the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming".
- Trapped in Villainy: Inverted with I.M.P. After Blitz and Loona accidentally stumble upon his date and he learns of their illegal assassin business, Lucifer conscripts them into serving as bodyguards for his daughter as well as extra security for her hotel, which has far more noble, heroic ambitions than what they're used to.
- Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Played for Laughs. Dazzle and Stringbean get into what they think is an epic duel, however to the reader and outsiders it looks like two plush toys fighting.
- Wimp Fight: When Luz's Palisman Stringbean, and Charlie's "pet" Dazzle first meet, they end up getting into what is, from their perspective, an epic physical showdown. What's actually taking place is that the two are merely wrestling in a manner akin to two plushies to the outside observer, due to neither bothering to use any of their Magic and is Played for Laughs.
- Written by the Winners:
- It's mentioned that Belos destroyed and rewrote the history of the Isles to fit his anti-Wild Magic agenda, with researchers now trying to uncover the truth. Already, the "Savage Ages" have been renamed to the "Wild Ages" as a result of casting off his old propaganda.
- Similarly, the "Temptation" Lucifer supposedly put Jesus through was just him desperately trying to become the Messiah's friend, with Heaven telling it in a way that depicted him as more malicious.
- You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Blitz is so horrified to realize that they're accidentally date-crashing Lucifer that he refers to Loona by full name instead of "Loony", which she notes is a sign of how serious things are. Loona, meanwhile, calls Blitzo "dad" due to her own fear that they are about to die.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Outside of his Freak Out, Moxxie incredulously asks Blitz how they went from assassins to bodyguards in the month he and Millie were away.
- Your Television Hates You:
- When Lucifer returns to Hell in Chapter 3, he starts catastrophizing about how he's going to explain his new relationship to Charlie and anyone else. He decides to put it aside and decompress by watching television in hopes of organizing his thoughts after taking a few hours to relax. Instead, the first thing he sees is a news report of Hell descending into Anarchy because everyone assumed he was dead, and his daughter just minutes away from undergoing an emergency coronation to become the Queen of Hell.
- During Chapter 4, Charlie tries to get her mind off her parents' now permanent divorce through watching whatever's on TV. She quickly finds out that literally every available channel is focused on Lucifer and his new relationship, with countless demons wanting a shot at becoming his paramour for less than moral reasons. As expected, this further sours her mood and inflames her worries that her dad's new girlfriend might just be another Gold Digger.
- After Lucifer officially gives his support to Ozzie and Fiz's relationship, Mammon flicks through several channels outlining the many cases of Imp rights becoming more prevalent (as well as Bee announcing she's going to do the same for Hellhounds), bemoaning this gives him less victims to exploit. Played for Laughs given it's Mammon.
