The dance at the end was perfection. The way Blitzø genuinely listens to Stolas and his needs at the start really shows the character growth in him. And you can tell how emotionally drained Stolas is at the end. I can't wait to see where they take them both next season.

[@watershipup7101]

Agreed. Very satisfying and bittersweet in the end.

[@MikeyVenture]

Blitz’s growth has been amazing! Such a difference from season 1. And thank you for the super thanks Dan!

@@thateye49 Lilith is different case. She didn't die before being sent to hell. She simply got thrown there together with Lucifer. Environment naturally changed her, I guess. Lucifer also has demonic traits since being there for quite a while.

[@JH24821]

That was such an amazing finale to this season, and an awesome reaction too! The bit at the end where Blitz eats those "coals" is meant to warm him up from the inside. This way he could keep Stolas warm and comfort him. It melted my heart. The scene on Earth during Christmas was beautifully animated, the reaction from a shivering Blitz as realiztion dawned on him was so well done. I hope this means I.M.P. will become more selective about the jobs they will accept in the future. It's clear the mother was the bad person in the relationship, and it made me smile to see this human family truly happy. Thank you for an amazing reaction and I wish you a Merry Christmas.

[@hazeyhails]

i feel like blizto finally realized that stolas really meant what he was saying when he risked his life for him so he’s all in

[@Daesma999]

finally someone omg. I was waiting whole day for this episode, haha. And there is a lot to unpack. I still feel like screaming into a pillow xD

[@MikeyVenture]

So true! I feel like I may have missed some stuff, so I can't wait to watch it again

[@Daesma999]

​​@@MikeyVenture oh we all definitely did. There is always tons of details, haha

[@Brauiz90]

Octavia's song was a reference to Stolas's song "You'll be okay" in the beginning of "Loo Loo Land" - where he already knew they'll be divorced and he'll stay with Octavia... 26:55 - I love this side of Millie - going full-on Rambo with the headband and the ammo around her shoulder...

[@Rutabega_NG]

Been waiting for someone to react to this all day. 15:13 The callback to _You Will Be Okay_ in the first season hits hard. 19:51 this was so random and out of character that it was the only hint I needed for what we had confirmed at the end of the episode. But then I'm female and was married to a man at one time 23:28 another well-placed musical callback to _Owl in a Cage_ here. Via is definitely hurting right now, feels very betrayed, but she _did_ keep Andy (yeah, I can't remember how to spell it) from ending Stolas, so she's not completely done with him. That's what I'm choosing to believe, anyway. He can't give up. She needs time, but not 100 years. Luna's friends look familiar, it's bugging me trying to remember where we saw them before. I'm thinking it was Beelzebub's party but I'm not sure.

[@Gaterman]

Yeah, Loona's friends were at Bee's party and on her phone in s2e2.

[@neyaneazrune548]

Yeah, he did save Blitz, but Blitz was going to DIE, and I feel like Stolas himself forgets that this was caused by Stella and Andre in the first place. Without them, he'd never have to be away from Via, they set him up AND prevented him from talking to his daughter.

[@MikeyVenture]

Yeah but all of this started with Stolas giving Blitz the Grimoire. He gave Andy and Stella the ammunition.

[@neyaneazrune548]

@@MikeyVenture True, but that's still not on Stolas only. Blitz was the one who came for the grimoire in the first place an left with it in front of Stella x) Besides, it sounds like excusing Stella and Andre for acting like assholes to blame only Stolas for it, but that's just me.

[@isnoee7065]

Honestly, I didn't realize until watching this video that Millie throwing up was related to the pregnancy reveal at the end. It didn't stick out to me at the time because I had dismissed it as a simple "hell vs heaven" gag (pun not intended) after seeing a statue of an angel and it making her sick. Even after knowing she was pregnant, I had already forgotten the vomit part, so I only realized when I saw that part being reacted to here that it was supposed to be a hint at the reveal.

[@MikeyVenture]

I can totally understand your thought process there

[@IceMetalPunk]

I didn't realize it until the bathroom scene. Between the vomit and the rage, I was thinking she had some sort of Wrathian virus 😅

[@isnoee7065]

@@IceMetalPunk That could certainly have been a possibility as well lol, like maybe on sinsmas some people (so to speak) get overtaken by urges to enact their sin and it becomes a physical illness. Obviously not actually a thing in the series (probably) but an interesting thought

[@talizorahvasnerd]

13:16 I mean I imagine that’s what happens when you manage to gather a bunch of broadway actors and have them voice act 😂

I’ll be honest I forgot about that 😂

What a heartwarming kick in the groin this episode was.

[@MikeyVenture]

[@gadaboutgriffon4446]

I find it interesting how much foreshadowing they are cramming in

[@lasseehrenreich5502]

oh to Spare the man life was so sweet and where his ex wife was pushed out of the building I felt an extreme sense of satisfaction happy holiday everyone

[@MikeyVenture]

It really speaks to how far Blitz has come. Season 1 Blitz wouldn't have spared them

[@Gaterman]

Even though Loona was only a side character in this episode, she shined. Finally, she is showing her soft side (especially to Blitz), having fun with her friends/family, and embracing Gluttony with Bee's party style (snacking all day). However, the biggest shock was her feral form, and I wonder where that comes from, like is it something all hounds can do, or maybe she got it from the book, or maybe she is special somehow (part Goetia with the extra eyes). 4:31 Exactly, the show has shown that the characters and setting are nuanced and that hell is more like a worse version of earth than "hell." Overall, it's a great episode, and I loved every twist, turn, and reveal ❤.

[@thateye49]

@@Gaterman Oh right! Forgot about the extra eyes. We never met her biological parents, how cool it would be if she's part goetia, but still think it is a higher chance to be a normal hellhound thing.

[@MikeyVenture]

I really need to watch it again and get a better look at her when she transforms. I wanted to pause there and give it a better look, but I felt I was pausing too much and didn’t want to interrupt the action

[@Gaterman]

@@MikeyVentureThe pausing is great as it's nice to see somebody notice the small and quick details. Loona has always been the most magical of I.M.P, and I suspect it isn't just cause she's a hellhound as non have not have shown to have any magic. Her shap shifting has a magical effect similar to when she or Stolas turn into humans, which implies it's Goetia magic, and the fact that she doesn't have the book means she must be pulling magic from within herself, which makes me think it's her that's special. Since there are no hellhound hybrids, because it's either biologically impossible or socially taboo (hellhounds being the lowest in the hierarchy), it might be possible with Goetia, whom they almost never interact with but do share their unique inverted eye trait. So I think that maybe one of Loona's biological parents is a Goetia, and that's why she seems so magical, so with Blitz and Stolas taking a more middle ground in the story, I suspect Loona's backstory may become more prominent and this could be one of the possibilities. This is, of course, all massive conjecture and doesn't have any solid proof, but I feel like there has to be some reason she's so different and this is the best I could come up with, but it's just a theory that could it be wrong with all the holes in our knowledge of this world.

[@ficfan3484]

They really amped up the animation on this episode and this show is already so good au animation. And i love the complexity of the emotions on this show.

[@CageRain]

Random facts: 1) The client this episode shares a voice actor with Barbie Wire. 2) Stella’s voice is Georgie Leahy’s actual speaking voice. 3) Sam Haft’s (the song writer for Hazbin Hotel and most of Helluva Boss) duo, The Living Tombstone, wrote the songs in this episode. Some together, some separately.

[@renthegigglefox]

Personally, I think that the Andrealphus fight in this episode is the best choreographed sequence since the fight at DHORKS. It demonstrates in full force how far the animation crew has grown and improved over the course of the show. On the topic of the Blitz and Stolas relationship, They are now in a position where they're completely on even ground. No hierarchy or class discrepancy to get in the way. And the fact that, after Mastermind, Blitz has realized that those close to him matter more than he was ever willing to admit is a huge step in a good direction. He's now embracing his found family, has a genuine bond with his adopted daughter, steps up without a word to support Stolas, and has enough love left to welcome the idea of bringing Octavia into his life, it speaks volumes.

[@Hayden-rc1ru]

After Stolas and Via's argument, the things in the pan that Blitz eats are coals apparently, it warms him up (hence the eyes and reddish hue) so he can be a hot water bottle to Stolas.

[@Ghost_R4cc00n]

This episode is truly a masterpiece to Christmas special present that we won’t forget till next year with S3 in the development process. But we might be getting some Helluva Shorts while we wait till S3 comes back in action with some crazy episodes, songs, new locations, characters and much more. 😄

[@Alterego912]

She would probably confront all the sins themselves at once if she had to.

[@renimusprime]

The way Blitzø cut off that Dragon’s head reminded me of the Hercules vs Hydra fight in the Disney movie.

[@scoobyd1550]

It took me this third reaction video to realize that Luna was eating so much at the beginning of the episode because hellhounds are from the gluttony ring 🤦🏽

[@MikeyVenture]

I put that together when I was editing haha

[@sqxbarto9229]

An interesting parallel between the human family and the Stolas - Stella - Blitz situation.

[@Stephen-ro5jc]

It's very difficult to catch, but the waitress at the diner spat on Stolas' food right in front of him. The guy behind Blitz started laughing, and then the fight started..

[@bikersk777]

Their relationship has gone through a helluva stuff

[@SoapyAurora]

Honestly this is one of the best episodes of hb

[@MikeyVenture]

It’s creeping into my top 3

[@SaiyanSerenityV]

It's a common misconception that crying is the most difficult emotion to act out. It varies from actor to actor! As a working actress, laughter is my biggest struggle. My natural laugh is very breathy and quiet and doesn't translate well on mic, so I have to really push myself to burst out laughing. I can genuinely ugly sob on command, no problem lol

[@MikeyVenture]

Oh wow that’s very surprising to me. I’ve done a little acting years and years ago, and I struggled with crying haha. Like you said though it varies person to person.

[@MattTOB618]

[@loidamayneyee9749]

18:00 The perfect response to a nagging Karen

[@thateye49]

I know the main focus is the drama and all, but can talk more about how the hierarchy isn't so important in the end? If Andy was beated up by a powerless Stolas and a bunch of imps then Alastor would grill Andy _☠️_

[@reallynotsogoldenisopod]

Given that a 17 year old Octavia could dispel his magic pretty easily, I think Andre is an especially weak Goetia, hence why he prefers to schele to get his wants.

[@thateye49]

@reallynotsogoldenisopod That could be the explanation

[@MikeyVenture]

I wish I went more into this. Andy didn't seem as formidable as I thought he would be.

[@Gaterman]

Some things to consider: I.M.P. are some of the best non-magical fighters we have seen and still needed Octavia to actually win. Without angelic steel, they weren't actually doing any damage in the fight, Andy healed immediately from Stolas, and even when Loona ripped out his throat, it only stunned him. Goetia likely aren't very good fighters in general as they wouldn't have a reason to practice such a skill, and Andy specifically is only a weak marquis (between a Goetia prince and an overlord) I definitely think Alastor could win in such a fight, but I think that's more of a praise of him rising above Sinners and overlords than a knock against Andy, the Goetia, and the hierarchy.

[@reallynotsogoldenisopod]

@Gaterman 100% agree

[@GirlofCulture]

Emotional Roller coaster as always. At least that Karen got what she deserves.

[@MikeyVenture]

Very satisfying when Blitz disposed of her haha

[@charliehall1944]

🐺vs 🌨🦚🤴#😊holidays

[@sakuyacamui8650]

They can't make such a big time jump. Stolas as Goetia is immortal, so for him this punishment is theoretically nothing. That's why Andy was so disappointed in the previous episode when he heard that it's only for 100 years. BUT Blitz as Imp ages in a similar way to humans. I don't think there was any exact information about it anywhere, but we can assume that for an Imp 100 years is a long time.

[@thateye49]

32:40 Right? _xD_

I have a feeling Vasago will have a part in clearing Stolas' name. (He was suspicious about Striker)

[@dwarf365]

Can't jump 100 years unfortunately. Hell born have fairly normal life spans. Every one else is immortal .

[@kfphunter1315]

Honestly, I'm talking to all the immortal dudes out there. Mortals are not worth your time. I'm not saying to be heartless. For example, it would be bad if Blitz died. But on the other hand you will have to live with the consequences of interacting with mortals for the rest of eternity

By pausing to talk we didnt say every 2 ms

[@MikeyVenture]

Chill out

[@taze2426]

I get annoyed whenever i hear the "well obviously they're bad, they're in hell" argument. 1st off, imps are born into hell, they didnt do anything to get there. Same with people like stolas. 2nd off, there are things that can get you sent to hell for that dont neccesarily make you bad. For example, being gay.

[@MikeyVenture]

I personally have found it to be a very weak and lazy argument

[@taze2426]

@@Kim-yp9yl ik theres different interpretations and sects that believe different things and that it isnt monolithic, but there is definitely a part that tries to force lgbtq+ people to repress them selves because they think its "sinful".

I also know that its more about the "acts" than it is just being gay itself, but i really didnt think i needed to mention that lol (wanna reiterate, depending on what you believe.)
