Helluva Boss Season 2 Episode 9 Apology Tour Review

[@Taco_420]

I really like how Blitzø admitted he doesn't want to be the way he is. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. He's making progress, and i love to see it.

[@woagnya]

He’s a good guy, even if he has a hard time acting like one. He really doesn’t want to hurt people.

[@VideoMatoran]

He made a good step. Question is... will he take more steps? Or he will be one step forward... two steps back?

[@Taco_420]

@@VideoMatoran I think it'll be a step forward. Now that he knows that stolas really does love him, and actually got jealous when he saw him kissing that dude, I think he'll start to change for the better. I think this is his wake up call.

[@black-shadow-eclipse]

It's so sad to see how their relationship changed. That Stolas even says "Im uncomfortable with how you are speaking to me" means a lot!!! 😭

[@Its-Razzle]

Fr 😭 I at least want them to be "friends" again :(

[@bancetheyorkshireterrier2003]

Who wouldn't that was disgusting behavior

[@Ashely_editz1234]

Don't forget the fact that stolas FUCKED another guy. I made a pool outta tears when I found out drunk stolas hates stolas. otherwise drunk blitz fuck al9t of people instead of stolas.

[@estelacastro2746]

Blitz would need to work on his feelings before stolas could forgive him

[@toadlord8594]

Yeah the dynamic change in their relationship REALLY went down a different level now. Wonder if things will get worse before it gets better for them by the Season finale.

[@Ducks_are_cool-u7l]

Did anyone else realize how blitz called verosika ver when he talked to her for the first time in a while and how verosika called him blitzo at the beginning but then near the end called him blitz like how he wants to be called

[@RaptieFeathers]

Ohhh, good catch. Damn. The writing in this show is so good

[@zemox2534]

Not all the time

[@crowbirdy]

he also called drunk Stolas "stols" in a real endearing way, which feels like a first! Blitz just felt very soft this episode

[@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox]

I love how the show is focusing on Blitz confronting his past and fixing broken bonds. A really mature direction for the show to go rather than it just being a soap oprea about 'forbidden love'

[@halomoon_]

You know what’s so interesting about the entire episode… a lot of parts where Stolas and blitz were together in different episode the roles switched…like the texting, the kissing….

[@Ralley_HB-HH]

I'ts sad but true...

[@woagnya]

Yeah… that happens sometimes, it’s interesting to see.

[@lunaballuna]

The crazy seen talk...lol

[@Steamedcatfish]

Yeah. Like the scene where Stolas is drunk while Blitzø is trying to talk to him under the blanket. Blitzø usually has a more upbeat vibe to his voice and a lot more movements. While Stolas is calm. He thinks through he words most of the time and makes small calculated movements. In that scene in particular, it’s switched, Blitzø having a more serious voice and less movement. While Stolas seems a little crazy and jittery. Presumably because he’s drunk, but still.

[@black-shadow-eclipse]

I loved Verosika in this episode! She know's she was also a breaking point in her relationship with Blitzo and that she did something wrong, but she throws this parties for other people to feel better. She slayed this episode ❤

[@Pinkywinkykinky]

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING HER EVERYTHING WAS SO ✨Favorite part of the episode honestly

What did she do wrong? Seems like all she did was say "I love you," unless I missed something?

[@Paulettchen]

Verosika: it starts with saying good for him Me: but Charlie said it starts with sorry

[@Ned_callsberg]

Nice reference to HH👍

[@HenshinFanatic]

Sorry isn't magic, there are steps after that, and Blitzø did do the sorry step he needs to go a lot further though and that was the next step.

[@Paulettchen]

@@HenshinFanatic yes I just wanted to make a HH joke

[@HenshinFanatic]

@@Paulettchen then make an actual joke and not just a reference? Now if your "joke" had used the following line instead of what you went with for your second line it might have had some punch. Charlie: "Years of academy training, WASTED!!!"

[@Firestorm214]

Ngl, when Verosika was saying “It starts with saying.” I thought of the song from HH by Charlie.😂

[@TheCommenterDragon]

I freaking loved every second of this episode! Even though Blitz's apologies to everyone her screwed over weren't entirely genuine, It was nice to at least see him making an effort to try and apologize to everyone especially to Stolas and Verosika. And they may not have forgiven him but at least it's a start to Blitz's journey on becoming a better person. And speaking of the people that Blitz apologized to, It was so awesome to see Martha and Miss Mayberry again after all this time. Hell I was even excited to see that they had apparently become an item, I mean I can remember some people shipping them and now it's canon! Anyway I instantly loved the new songs in this episode, Especially the one with Stolas, Verosika and Vortex. A duet between Stolas and Verosika was what I was hoping for and even though Verosika mostly did backup vocals and Vortex was there, It feels like the closest thing to a duet as we'll ever get. And when I saw the ending of the episode, While I could understand Blitz being jealous about Stolas dancing and being kissed by that other guy. Blitz just needs to accept that if he wants Stolas back he needs to earn it, And the first step to doing that will be for Blitz to clean up his act.

[@t0nyxaka90]

I can def agree with this! Also, when I saw that when Blitz got to the party it was only 9 mins outta 21, I was like "HUHWHATTHEFUCK". I feel like the episode just got to the meat and then slowed down a bit, which is a good thing because it allowed for shit to sink in a bit more imo.

[@laco403]

I would say a trio! Don't forget, Vortex is played by the very talented James Monroe Inglehart, who also plays Asmodeus.

[@VideoMatoran]

I think his "apology tour" is no different from Bojack Horseman's "making amends" thing. Just an attempt at a quick fix that entirely misses the point.

[@kimorayn1733]

Agree on the humor. Blitz says to Stolas "I've never seen you throw it back like that" and there could've been a "Yes you HAVE! Wait, oh" and it wouldn't've lost any momentum.

[@platinumsky845]

That wouldn't have fit stols character in the mental state he's in now, it wouldn't make any sense and really would just distract from the point of the dialogue.

[@-RUBBISH-]

I really loved the fact it was one plot with no action

[@noobmasterruben5167]

Agreed. The action was only done in Full Moon and as for this eps, it was a good idea they cut out any subplots to make it more satisfying

[@black-shadow-eclipse]

They really shadowdropped this episode, huh? 😅 I saw no teasers or pics on Twitter!!! Still so amazing! ❤️

[@atzitagain]

They said when the shows were coming out in the teasers

[@falconeshield]

It was hinted with Brandon's live action episode

[@Ned_callsberg]

Viv just said: here. have episode. Watch it. Bye. (Another bad joke, sorry)

[@purpleguylovesfnaf9319]

It'll happen cause there's lots of people who don't like seeing blitz and stolas like that we want them to be together Stolitz forever

[@kiboma4209]

And it still made 5 million views under 24 hours, had they promoted it more, it would be 10 mil

[@Axel_Kasai]

I'm glad they let stolas be his own character for once without being handcuffed to blitz

[@Ned_callsberg]

Stolas: I've been waiting for 5 years just to get off these cuffs......

[@CountShaman]

Nah, not really. He's clearly still hung up on Blitz here, and we know they're gonna get back together based on the teaser of Blitz fighting Andrealphus to protect Stolas.

[@Axel_Kasai]

​@@CountShamanI know sadly that's where it's gonna end but it's still cool seeing him be able tell blitz to F off and interact with other characters.

[@adelinaiftime3152]

i feel like the lack of humor in this episode is probably for the best it kept the tone serious and consistent, which is really good considering some episodes in the past were quite fucked over by the excessive jokes during all the tense moments

[@EasternFantasy13]

I was so relieved that Blitz and Stolas remained unresolved. Stolitz issues really shouldn't be wrapped up so fast. it really would have been unsatisfying. Nice to see Verosika and I think they were able to find a better sense of closure. I suspected the way he ran from her and lack of closure afterward was what made her act out.

[@Dragonking-fd1qv]

The whole lonely bit got to me because it reminded me of the Princess Carolyn and Bojack “I don’t love you, you don’t love me, we’re just two lonely people trying to hate ourselves a little less”

[@rainbowtoyfunrandomess1982]

I definitely noticed that Martha and Mrs Mayberry made a cameo appearance in this episode. Also all the demons at the Blitz Sucks Party wore different costumes especially Coco and Apple as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Stolas even remembered the time Striker nearly killed him and Blitz brought up The Harvest Moon Festival when Striker tried to kill Stolas during the first attempt. Also a literal Blitz Plush is in the episode! Heck, I can't believe Blitz attempted to apologize to everyone especially Stolas and Verosika. I love that Blitz and Verosika are actually talking instead of being snarky halfway through, she even gives Blitz some advice to change for the better. I think this episode is amazing and I'm happy Blitz tried to make amends with the people he's wronged with. Also Verosika Mayday for days! It's a shame that Stolas is a little upset with Blitz now.😮🤩🥺💖💔🎤🎶

[@CYNSPACE]

it REALLY hurt seeing stolitz at their official break, but they have a long way to go until they’re finally all good and healthy. i was so happy seeing verosika again and she did a nice role in this episode, and i mostly related to her in some parts :)

[@RaptieFeathers]

It definitely hurt, but it's also a big relief. They can now work on becoming actual extremely close friends, and ones that can be emotionally intimate with each other. They can be there for each other and be supportive. Given that, dating feels like it's way less important.

[@Cornonthory-kl7iz]

As much as I want to be hopeful about it, I really don't know if Stolas wants to go back to Blitzo. Especially the part where verosika said it starts with saying "good for him, hope he gets laid", implying that Blitzo needs to move on from him.

[@RaptieFeathers]

@@Cornonthory-kl7iz Stolas wants Blitzø to be a big part of his life. They love each other a lot. Maybe not dating each other is the best way to remain close together? The baggage associated with being in a relationship often can get in the way of people being emotionally intimate and close with each other; it's far less stressful when there aren't the pressures that are placed onto those who are romantically involved

[@Cornonthory-kl7iz]

@@RaptieFeathers Yeah, that's a good way to put it.

[@shampooh8r]

I like how Blitz was a bit vulnerable in the episode, what I didn't like is that neither Blitz nor Stolas mention the Ozzie incident, like I was expecting Blitz to say "Oh like were caring about me when I was being roasted at Ozzies?"

[@shampooh8r]

@@CipherRage0909 That's why I find it so frustrating. I know it's old knews but my guess is that's when that rift between Blitz and Stolas happened.

[@TheScribbleCoon]

I personally think it was a great episode by far. It brought me to tears far beyond how full moon ever could. I loved the slow pacing cause it felt on par with how fast Stolitz felt in full moon. And even if it is filler, it helped show the impact of their relationship. The song, while not better than full moon’s duet, was still incredible and I love the vulnerability in Stolas’ voice. Not to mention how Verosika and Blitz tie a few loose ends, and sort of make up for past choices (for now), and how Verosika calls him Blitz and not Blitzo when she’s giving him advice on how to be better. It’s a 10/10 episode for me so far, and makes me wish nothing but happiness for my babies. 😊

[@Zekrel]

I was very mixed on this episode. I thought that mostly everything was great except for maybe one or two little things. 1. This is really hard to elaborate on but I’ll do my best. This episode did a good job of showing how much Blitzø has hurt people in the past, whether intentional or not, but the thing that I just can’t let go of is how much it tries to pain him as the sole reason why him and Stolas didn’t work out. Stolas is rightfully angry for how Blitzø handled things in the beginning of this episode but that part also felt like it was created just so that you wouldn’t be able to sympathize with Blitzø. Maybe it’s just a me thing but it just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. 2. When I saw the trailer which revealed that Verosika would be returning, I was like “Oh good, now we can get more details on the nature of their past relationship and how exactly things ended.” But when I watched the episode I was so disappointed, because they only got one small scene together. I’m hoping that this episode was just a tease for later maybe in another episode (whether it’s this season or the next one). Overall, this episode did what it was made to do… break my heart. So that makes up for the little flaws.

[@Swervy7VODS]

Your second point is so validdd, I wish they did too! It felt like Fizz and Blitzo, except, without the cool flashback. I hope they work things out and that Blitz gives a genuine apology to those he hurt.

[@Zekrel]

@@Swervy7VODS my thoughts exactly

[@standingbylife]

THANK YOU! Blitzø did hurt a lot of people, but he's very much the victim in the relationship break than Stolas. (It reminds of the one episode of Human Resources, where Emmy has to sit and watch her best friend and toxic crush get together. Everyone is celebrating the new couple but Emmy had every right to be upset and to be the victim.)

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

Thank god we’ll get shorts in between the wait cause I don’t know if I’ll be able to survive without Helluva Boss for 4 straight months.

[@falconeshield]

Yeah that's way too long

[@Delta_NWAB747fan]

This show has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, like I’ve said before I’ve never been interested in shows like this. The writing at times is clunky, the drama is ridiculous, and I first started watching this as something to do when I got free time. But, these past two episodes and *especially* that ending, got me f*cking…heartbroken. I never thought this show could do that to me. I’ve watched plenty of shows with couples, but never once has a show got me shedding a tear. The only other time I’ve been sad at a show is when the original Top Gear ended because that was an end of an era, I didn’t think the sadness could get turned up 1000%, let alone an animated show. At first, I always felt they were dragging this breakup train forever and didn’t think it would affect me or be worth the wait. Oh boy was I wrong! I’ve gotten to know these characters so well and I was desperately hoping they’d finally make up (in the weirdest way they kind of did?). That railing scene was incredible. Verosika basically showing a bit of heart and making Blitzø realize all of his mistakes, just for him to watch what he essentially created himself and Stolas very much enjoying himself…and Blitzø ending up doing nothing about it...that’s what got me. He absolutely wanted to do something, but Stolas was happy for once. I didn’t think this show or any show could break me, but it definitely just did. I didn’t think I’d even finish the first Season or care about any of the relationships, let alone Stolitz. Once again, I just didn’t think it would affect me, but proves that the writers do know what they are doing with this show, even if at times I didn’t enjoy some of the writing. Hell, they got me to love an owl and an imp, that was not on my bingo card. Anyways I’m sad now. Plus, forcing myself to watch your recap as always,didn’t help my sadness. I’ll try to move on with my day. 😅 Great recap as always! (Also Stolas was so cute being drunk, definitely my favorite character. I didn’t think I’d enjoy watching an owl prince from hell with relationship issues, but here I am!)

[@ashhsmashhQ]

Admittedly I like the episode a lot myself. Is showed a lot of character growth with Blitzo, Stolas and even Verosika to a point. But it also showcased some messed up views on love from our favorite pair Blitzo doesnt really view himself as worthy of love at all. He views himself needing to earn it, and he useful. Something i understand deeply Stolas wants a romantic comedy. He wants big splashy shows of love and affection. He has this romanticized view of love, as it appears that the only individual that's ever truly loved him at all is Octavia. And i think to a point, she may be the only one he's ever truly loved. I don't think he knows what real romantic love is himself. His love for Via is familial ,parental love And as much as it pains me to admit, his love for Blizto is puppy love Blitzo was his first friend, and crush. And until recently, that's how he's treated him. As some fantasy imp prince in bloody shining armor. Someone to rescue him from his evil witch wife. Someone to whisk him away in his van, and take him away from his personal hell. He wants that escape so bad, he even neglected Via. He really did treat Blitzo like a romantic play toy,even if ge didnt realize it When his feelings for Blitzo started becoming more , I think that he figured Blitzo would feel the same And of course he didnt. Though I think Blitzo is more at fault here, Stolas isn't innocent either

[@saralovelace7219]

Oh Stolas 100% does not understand or even know how to identify realistic, grounded love between two adults. I mean where WOULD he have learned that from? He had to marry Stella at *maybe* nineteen, if not younger, and it's made extremely clear that he was committed to trying to make things work on *some* level until Blitz came along. But we've seen him with romance novels, in *this episode even*, and watching Hella-novela... I don't think it's a coincidence that the same episode we see him with his beak in a romance novel is the same one Blitz calls him out for wanting a rom-com. That's a through-line of the episode. Stolas.... needs to do what every starry-eyed Disney adult had to do at one point--- realize that real love is not a Disney movie, or a soap opera, or a romance novel. Do I think he loves Blitz? No. Just like I don't think Blitz loves Stolas. I think they have *potential* and *chemistry* that could one day deepen to love if they TALK and spend TIME TOGETHER learning more about each other outside of what they like in bed. Right now, that's a lot of what they've got. This episode already did a bit to start that train going, so that makes me happy. Also, I would like to end my Ted Talk by drawing attention to the fact that when Blitz calls out Stolas for describing a rom-com (which he was UTTERLY IN THE RIGHT TO DO), that his tone of voice was not one of anger, or frustration, or even irritation at all. It was sad, and even sounded like *pity*. Which Stolas immediately reacted to with the "Fuck you". Which says, to me, that Blitz *has* realized this about Stolas and the fact that he doesn't make fun of him for it, only pulls him back to reality, says volumes I think.

[@Juel13]

I love how it gives a lot of things to think about and no cliffhanger at the end for the months of no major episodes til October. I also hope the shorts we get kinda give us a slice of life during this Stolitz downtime that'll lead more into what seems like a more horror/wacky episode in October.

[@ЯрославИванов-м7ц]

This episode makes me feel that Blitzo really loves Stolas and started to realize his mistakes, this season really becomes more and more interesting with each episode

[@ЯрославИванов-м7ц]

Let's be real Stolas kills it everytime he sings

[@d.phantomfan1216]

What I got from this episode is that I don’t think Stolas loves Biltzø, or ever did.Listening to his rant, about how he desperately wants love and just not to be alone. It made me wonder if the reason he felt anything towards Biltzø was because he was the first person to ever gave Stolas joy. Stolas has no life, like 90% of his screen time in his house, usually alone. Spent his entire childhood alone with servant who didn’t seem to like him or was mistreated by his dad, was forced to marry a bitch who enjoyed trash talking him. His romantic fantasy is a romantic comedy, he doesn’t really know what love is. Honestly, I want to see Blitzø and Stolas together, but I don’t want to see them together right now they got a lot to work out before this relationship has any chance.

[@Swervy7VODS]

Stolas is trapped in a fantasy, that he thinks can happen with Blitz because of all the dramatic and intimate things they did together. But, I still think that Stolas loves Blitz, especially because of in the song, he was the only one still trying to understand him. His feelings go deep, he was trying to refocus his goals now that he's not sure Blitz loves him back. He's handling the rejection pretty well, so I don't think it's that he doesn't, just that he can't show that to Blitz out of respect. I totally agree with your other point, though. They need to work things out. It can't be love if they aren't on the same page.

[@chaoticneutralsheep]

You're right about that, I noticed his conversation didn't actually talk about what he sees in Blitz either but instead it's always about how he feels and what he wants, he enjoys Blitz as concept for that idealised fantasy romance more than the person he is. I don't think Stolas knows one single interest Bltiz has and he never knows how Blitz will react to anything. This whole episode really took me out honestly. Blitz acted completely out of character compared to his normal interactions with Stolas, to the point where he was practically assaulting Stolas to feel like he had purpose when he's pretty respectful to signals. While not the intent Blitz after a while even started to read as aromantic too because he doesn't seem to understand romance at all at the party, and seems overall confused by all those feelings everyone else has. Worst thing though was Stolas immediately goes for a rebound in front of Blitz for an incubus while blackout drunk too, but we're supposed to say "good for him," it reads as destructive behaviour with a needed intervention or that it is always about sex.

[@Swervy7VODS]

@@chaoticneutralsheep Yeah, it was too fast for the rebound. But, I totally get it. There's also this theory where the rules of hell (like their moral code) isn't really the same as ours. AAAAA but I'm so excited to see this relationship grow, with Blitz realizing how much he cares about Stolas I think there is some great potential here. You should watch the comic dubs, I feel they've portrayed this relationship towards a more healthy resolution. And I really hope that Helluva Boss can give a good experience with resolving that. But boy, that episode was messy with problems. The way that, Blitz was sending him memes, again, not taking Stolas seriously (because he can't even take himself seriously). And then, when he confronted Stolas AS HE WAS DRUNK... these gays are sooo... they need help. I kinda liked seeing this different way Blitz acted. He's in a moment where his facade is breaking down and that's why he is acting "out of character" in some of the scenes. I wish we got more on Verosika and Blitz's past relationship. And I hope Blitz genuinely apologizes to those he hurt.

[@direfish211]

Those were my thoughts exactly. Stolas never mentioned he wanted blitz specifically, or that he desired only blitz. His whole speech was "I want to feel wanted by *someone*." He never said he wanted to feel wanted by blitz. Just someone.

[@mitcheldxdyt]

Seeing martha and the teacher together was super cool

[@hazelgrunts]

I’m not a fan of how the episode portrays Blitz like he’s 100% in the wrong for the Stolitz breakup specifically. They both made terrible mistakes in that relationship so it’s kinda odd to me how Stolas is now being treated like some innocent guy who got screwed over by Blitz like Verosika was. Blitz was hurt by Stolas a lot too, they should apologize to each other.

[@melanopygus]

Yeah I hope they bring up Stolas' classism cuz he definitely called Blitz not 'I see you as an equal' things in the past

[@blacklightredlight2945]

Stolas literally teleported Blitz away. After talking about giving him agency. All of this was caused by stolas wanting an immediate answer. Because he's a noble, and others answer to him. We have all this context, Blitzo only knows the owl wants to fuck him, until he was randomly tossed out on the street for not having his emotions all ready for a surprise confession on top of losing the keys to Stolas, and replacing them with those of Asmodeus. What's happening, is that Blitz is stolas, and Stolas is being Blitz.

[@bbthr33]

@@blacklightredlight2945 I feel like it was completely fair to teleport Blitz out of his house. Stolas couldn’t handle the conversation anymore after Blitz mocked an “I love you”, and while trying to leave Blitz continued after him screaming, ending with a “LET’S GO, B****” (something like that I can’t exactly remember). Like, you can see Stolas literally flinch at Blitz’s aggression. Stolas was in an abusive marriage for years, being followed around the house and screamed at. Making Blitz leave to not have a panic attack or be further triggered is pretty fair and not “random”. I don’t see how people can defend screaming and cursing at someone during an argument, but hate the fact that Stolas forced the situation to close? Also to be clear, I don’t even have much of a problem with Blitz screaming so much because *I know he had his reasons*. Just like how I don’t have much of a problem with how Stolas acted during their convo because *I know he had his reasons*.

[@CipherRage0909]

It just seemed kind of pathetic to see Blitzo sending sorry letters and gift bags to the people who he crossed with. It honestly doesn't change anything he's still a very flawed character.

At least we didn’t get a cliche/flat ending where both Verosika and Stolas forgive (or completely forgive) Blitz. I do still think that, like the other episodes, the swearing and sexual elements kind of take away from the emotional aspect of the episode.

[@woagnya]

I actually liked the pacing. It felt painful, but purposefully so. It was slow, but every bit of dialogue felt intentional. Even cathartic. The humor was pretty sparse, but deliberately so. Kind of a bummer, but I understand why. Even the few jokes seemed to hold some weight, rather than being JUST jokes. I prefer this over Full Moon if I have to choose. I like both but I’m different ways. I agree that it would have been better to see Blitzø interacting more with Verosika. I really liked the bits where they did talk. I like Verosika and the way she communicated with Blitzø, and how she talked with Stolas too. Stolas and Blitzø were both great. I really hope that the people who decided to make hating one of them their whole personality (so many Stolas haters lmao) will see the nuance behind both characters a bit more now.

While Stolas IS being dumb, it is inappropriate for Blitz to constantly push his boundaries after such a painful "breakup," even though he doesn't mean to. If someone asks for space, it is disrespectful to deny them that. They are both being dumb.

[@Indie_Calls]

Stolas did come off that way in Full Moon by springing it on Blitzø the minute he waltzed into his room instead of hinting at wanting to talk beforehand, but even though he didn't explain himself as properly as he thought, the one thing I think he made clear was that he didn't want meaningless sex with Blitzø anymore, the very thing Blitzø doubled down on in attempt #2 this episode and Stolas rejected once again. Though it does make his previous attempt to apologize before he was teleported away seem disingenuous due to doubling down.

[@yanka3925]

Firstly, I don't like the way Stolas is shown to be completely innocent. He hurt Blitz too and Blitz has a point when saying he owes Stolas nothing. It's sad that writers seem to forget about the fact that Stolas was the one who made their relationships about seх, literally called Blitz a plaything and so on. Blitz deserves an apology from him too and I really hope that he'll get one in the future episodes. Secondly, Stolas and Blitz still haven't discussed their problem properly. It's annoying that their talk always get interrupted for some reason, so that they never had a chance to come to any conclusion (I would be satisfied whether they got together or broke up temporarily or permanently, just anything particular, please). Like how many more episodes they need to resolve a single drama, huh?

[@dash9641]

I've seen comments like this a lot and while I get it, I feel it's important to realize Stolas was not the one to bring that high sex energy into the situation-ship as we call it. Stolas made one flirty joke while tipsy at best but then steered the conversation back into the normal levels, Blitz took that initial joke's vibe and ran with it, causing the hilarious nightmare fuel bite that was the eventual peak and downfall of their situation. Now expecting to just steal Stolas' book and get away Scott free was dumb of Blitz, of course he's going to need the book back as it's for his job. Blitz used Stolas and stole his book yet wasn't the one to call him and further elaborate on wtf that was. Now it does start tilting into Stolas is screwing up territory in how the deal was made, Stolas saw Blitz was in danger yet chose that time to call him up and strike a deal. At that point while what he says isn't wrong, "Favors for Favors" as it's a big favor to just take a prince's book, a tool he needs for his job and bail without offering anything up especially after being so deceitful about it. The thing is him knowing Blitz's current predicament when he called is what has people giving him some side eye cuz yeah, not a good look Stolas. They both failed to communicate boundaries, for all Stolas knew Blitz wasn't bothered by his comments. He thought he was being playful, Blitz never told him otherwise outside of the "JUST SAY MY NAME RIGHT!" comment back in the Harvest Moon episode. They both have to talk to one another about how they view what the other does and work on how to better bridge the gap they were place in from birth. They have to or none of this works. I think the only thing for this episode is showing how badly Blitz being dependent on yet still pushing away others is going to keep him in this perpetual state of loneliness. He can't just barge into someone's home, try to assault them when they clearly say no and verbally abuse them in their own home after they gave him a chance to speak and instead he used it to abuse further. I do believe we'll see Stolas getting his turn with the stick of consequences, just like Stolas himself, his are less noticeable, and creeping up one him while Blitz's consequences are smack dab in front of him just like he is not at all subtle about how he deals with his issues. We may get something like this: Stolas realizes his feelings, works to better himself and stop the deal. Stolas is ahead of Blitz in the feelings and personal growth department Blitz catches up in terms of realizing Stolas was serious about said feelings. Blitz sees the consequences of his actions (Not only with Stolas but Verosika and everyone in the party) Blitz goes on his own self discovery journey (where we're heading to next) Stolas now starts getting his long await consequences that have building since the divorce with Stella began, as he has yet to be called out for neglecting his duties. (We're no doubt getting that later on too) And by the end of the season, both Blitz and Stolas will be on the same page finally when it comes to personal healing and growing as people. Who knows what season 3 will bring but I'm hoping the two will have a better understanding of their own flaws so they can begin to talk about them bit by bit with each other. Maybe even as actual friends who can see where they went wrong and vowing to be better knowing how the other felt during their time "together".

Man this episode made me tear up fr

[@jat9926]

Maybe I’m the only one uncomfortable with this idea, but seeing all the effigies of blitz hanging, stabbing him, these are exes. Did he whirlwind romance every single one of them or can they just not accept and move on with their love lives in a healthy way? Like Dennis. All Blitz did was kiss him at a party. I’ve personally never had a bad break up before but these parties don’t seem healthy to me.

[@Swervy7VODS]

Dude, yeah, I can partially agree. I think for some people, this is NOT the best way to cope. But, there were moments where they were comforting each other and also having a good time, so in a way, it could be helpful. There's really no way to tell. But the intention is good

@@Swervy7VODS If I'm reading the scene right, I think even Stolas was a bit put off by it in that cake scene. Maybe it's a little trauma from being stabbed by Striker when he was kidnapped, but I think he saw Verosika's rage at stabbing the cake and was like 'Look, Blitz is a fucking dickhead, among other things, but I don't want to KILL him over it! Maybe just flip him off, roll down my car window and yell 'CUNT' at him as I drive by!'

[@Swervy7VODS]

@@direfish211 Loll, either that, or I think more logically is that she is just a popular imp that hosts parties and has a lot of connections, so it's easy to find out that stuff. Especially with Stolas, he's a prince and that must've been hot news. I don't think she's stalking Blitz cause there's really no evidence to support it (considering previous episodes). For example, when she was introduced, Blitz commented how he could smell "fish for a mile". It's possible she may stalk him on his socials or something like that. But, I think it's more likely that they come from all over sources to her specifically.

The only thing I didn’t see the point of was having this take place at Halloween and on Earth. Maybe they were trying to tie it into the idea that Halloween is supposed to be an opportunity for those in Purgatory to ascend to Heaven? Like Blitz realizes he’s been in a self-imposed purgatory and also out all his exes in a similar state of being broken up but not quite moving on?

[@squiddlethief]

i didn't love the fact that stolas got with someone else like he did? im sure its something that will work itself out in future episodes but it felt like this episode was taking several steps backwards when full moon sort of did that already. in a way it felt sort of redundant or tiresome i think it is something worth analyzing/getting into later, the idea that stolas' idea of a relationship is just that he wants to be wanted and how an invitation to dance is enticing, especially as a sort of rebound thing i guess. i just don't think the episode's pacing made it seem anything more than repetitively saying the relationship between blitz and stolas is bad for him. it could also have to do with stolas being drunk, but not having that unpacked at all in this episode made it kind of frustrating, in more of a tedious way than an exciting cliffhanger way. overall stolas is my favorite character and its hard to have such a dramatic switch in his dialogue and interactions for me. still a decent episode, better than a couple of the filler ones at the beginning of s2, but it wasn't what i was looking for in the episode after full moon.

[@Wandergirl108]

I was glad they focused on the relationship drama instead of shoehorning in a B-plot for action like they did with Full Moon. I think the reason this episode kinda rubbed me the wrong way was that it took Blitzø's issues way further than Stolas's. Like, they BOTH fucked up the conversation in Full Moon, but this episode mostly felt like it was just to show that even if Stolas was a master communicator, Blitzø still would have wrecked everything, so Stolas's mistakes didn't matter and Blitzø is the only one who really needs to change…like, it kind of invalidates the point in the previous episode that BOTH of them have issues that make relationships difficult for them, by making it out like even if Stolas had zero issues things still would have gone this way. I don't know, I do like the lack of any sort of action scene or distraction from the relationship drama, but the focus was still on the wrong thing. It almost felt like backpedaling, like trying to take back all of Stolas's mistakes and retroactively make Blitzø the sole problem. Also…this is the first Stolas song I wasn't completely charmed by. It was good, but every other song he's done has been magical, this felt like a downgrade to me personally.

[@charlieandteddy]

I think the whole problem is that Vivzi already said that so story is complete in 4 seasons. But I believe there's much more space left to cover all (or at least some of) the parts the fans want to see. Maybe it would be more clever to expand to whole thing up to 5 or 6 seasons so they could pack more side stories into it. Like Verosika and blitz, fizzy and more. It's very cool to see the main story being already developed but 4 seasons seems to be too little to cover everything:(

[@t-marjo6624]

I really enjoyed this episode, especially seeing Blitz talking with Vee and their past, and when Blitz saw how happy Stolas was in that moment and let him have that moment. Also, I don't think a flashback was needed in that moment when Vee and Blitz were talking because the episode portrayed how much heartbreak can affect someone, especially when she was vulnerable with him and just ended things like that without an explanation, but also finding happiness again and that was why Vee even throws those Anti-Blitz party, to have others who felt the same and help them out as through this as a lot haven't forgiven or got over Blitz. Also, that scene with Martha and Ms. Mayberry threw me off too 😂.

[@mestar_otaku9365]

I watched an episode and I was expecting something different. I mean the dialogue that took place between Blitz and Stolas was deep and tried to show us that Blitz was wrong, although there are aspects that might show us that Stolas is also wrong, such as the deal he made in the first episode, which was that on the day of the full moon. Blitz brings the book and can get it after he satisfies Stolas' lust, but they don't touch it and this apology round consists of Blitz sending apology papers to all the characters who appeared in the series only. But an important event appeared, which was the exes' party. I wish Fizz had been there, but what can we do? I don't know what the writers' problem is with showing us that Blitz is the bad person, but what I liked about this episode is Stolas' frankness and Verosika's view of Blitz's character and how this affected him. (Also, I don't want Stolas to end up with that demon) But I was expecting a quick reconciliation between Blitz and Stolas, just like the revelation of Ozzie's relationship with Fizz, but it's a good thing that didn't happen.

[@winterrain3528]

I don't think Apology Tour was great, but I still enjoyed this episode and admit it's one of the top three episodes of this season. As much as I love the drama of Stolitz, I think it's becoming too much. Helluva Boss has many characters that could develop interesting arcs or dynamics with each other, but it feels like the writers have honed into Stolitz (and Stolas in general) so much that everything else feels neglected. Granted, this is a belief I've only developed since the premiere of season 2. Of the nine episodes currently released (not considering "Hell's Belles"), six(-ish) of them feature Stolas' drama or explore his relationship with Blitz- and based on the season 2 trailer, that ain't about to change for the rest of the season. I get that Stolas has become a narratively important character, but others like Moxxie, Millie and Loona deserve to have fleshed out arcs instead of meager development gingerly sprinkled throughout the season, and the hyperfocus on Stolitz is starting to become tiresome for me. Like I said, I enjoy it, but I need a break from the drama occasionally and want to focus on something new and fresh with other characters- I hope that Ghostfuckers will provide that for me.

I was on Blitz’s side last episode but I can see the writers wanted to express how desperate he is and for him it’s not only about the misuse of personal power that was in Stolass control but also Blitzs attachment where he wants him to stay but is also fighting internally. Though I’m very glad that they delayed the relationship with Stolas and Blitz especially when Stolas was invited out by another guy, which I wasn’t particularly happy with but it was understandable. The whole lonely bit got to me because it reminded me of the Princess Carolyn and Bojack “I don’t love you, you don’t love me, we’re just two lonely people trying to hate ourselves a little less” I hope maybe the can separate for awhile and see how things go from there.

blitz and stolas relationship is when two s*x friends ended in a horrible way. One catch feelings for the other and the other is just "uh no".

Stolas deny so many things like he didnt do all the things he listed. Blitz behavior enough was disgusting.

[@infernalstarquakes]

i feel like the party would have been much more impactful if we actually recognized more characters in the crowd. if earlier, we had gotten to see more people that blitz had hurt, even just briefly, i feel like the party would've had much more of an impact. the only characters we really knew/recognized in the party were stolas, verosika and that dennis guy, but everyone else were just random characters who we knew nothing about, and therefore personally i didn't care very much about them. but imagine how it would have felt if we watched blitz walk into the party and saw a house filled with characters who we watched be hurt by blitz in previous episodes. how insane of a callback it would be and how much of a jab at the gut it would be. instead of just spectating blitz be upset about the party and watch unknown characters be angry at blitz, we could have felt how the two sides feel. we could have fully understood how blitz felt, walking into a party dedicated to hating him filled with familiar faces, remembering everything he's done to them. we could have understood why people were throwing darts at him.

[@rhobidderskag1121]

Dude... I think this was the best written episode hands down. It wasn't _supposed_ to have a lot of humor or a B plot. There's two ways that adult cartoon series which straddle the comedy/drama line can go. They can either stick rigidly to the conventional comedic A-B structure throughout their entire run as their more episodic comedy counterparts do, or they can realize that when you're a series playing in both genres like this the drama sometimes needs the whole episode to itself to breath and land proper hits. Bojack Horseman's writers came to understand that, and that show's later seasons made it nothing short of an adult animation masterpiece. What the writers of Helluvaboss crafted here is the kind of episode the show has been desperately needing since the beginning of season 2. If the characters and world constantly have to bend to fit the comedic formula, the show's never going to feel like anything _but_ a comedy. The comedy turning off for once and letting the dialogue be more lengthy and natural was such a breath of fresh air. I also can't see how anyone could label the episode filler when the largest overarching plot throughout the whole show is the Stolitz relationship. The elements of the show which do not pertain to the character's personal lives are largely episodic.

I go absolutely feral digging into the psychology of characters like blitz and stolas because a lot of thought clearly went into the characters of the show more than anything else, and there is a LOT to chew on for people like me who love analyzing characters, motivations, actions, reactions, habits, their walls, etc. This show has conveyed so much about blitz and stolas that you can practically predict how exactly they'll react to any given scenario. And I'm of course excited to see how the two change from this episode as it clearly marked a huge turning point for the both of their characters. Also I'm genuinely glad there wasn't a flashback with verosika. Seeing her and blitz actually talk was absolutely the right choice and it was enjoyable to watch her actually somewhat get along with him, as well as be the catalyst to him finally deciding to change.

My review: The songs were good but I'm still mixed on Bryce's VA'ing as Stolas when singing, but I'm not complaining, he did what he could. Nice to see Verosika not be entirely toxic to Blitzø, it's nice knowing she actually wants him to improve. The quick apology tour felt a little rushed, I think it could've been a part 1, part 2 thing like Ozzies. It hit hard though when Blitzø realised how many people in his life he actually fucked up, it was an amazing cold splash to his reality. Overall, really good, though I'd like to see more of DHORKS and CHERUBS in the future, and I need to get used to Bryce's singing.

[@JestarCircus]

Imma disagree on your complaints about the episode. It's good to have "filler" episodes. Letting the plot slow down and breath, exploring character depths and relationships rather than constantly being fast paced with stakes. And comedy would've ruined this episode. It's supposed to be a serious moment for Blitz and a growing moment for him. And as the lead character seeing him develop and how his actions effect others is important. Letting the plot breath and be willing to slow down to explore those aspects is good and I'd be upset if we just blazed through every episode without these slower and more serious moments. It's still moving the plot forward and dismissing it or deaming it lesser than the more comedic action-filled episodes just feels like a disservice to how a narrative is meant to function. Also the writing here was GREAT, even if it was mostly dialogue. Very realistic conversations and a heavy impact of seeing just how many people blitz has hurt, and blitz being at the "I hate blitz" party because he too hates himself.

Personally, I think Verosika was very one note here. It kinda dragged the episode down. I wish there was more to her character than 'hates Blitz', 'drunken pop star'. I hope we see more of her in the future with something else to do or more backstory. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and hope that Stolas has an episode where they talk about his flaws as well. It felt like they dumbed down Blitz's points from the last episode to give more credit to Stolas', because Blitz had a lot of really good ones. This episode definitely needed to happen. I don't think it's filler at all! The pacing was just right for me, but it definitely left some to be desired.

[@closed661]

[@RogeTheVirus]

I was a little shocked at the ending but honestly its probably for the best at least for now Blitz is not ready for relationships at the moment especially with this mindset he imprinted onto himself from the trauma trying to deny any feelings at all because when he tried to make a commitment it caused his whole life to fall apart (literally) and the theory that he was hurt by royalty before. I also enjoyed seeing this side of Blitz being highlighted with how damn hard he’s trying to push feelings away to the point it all comes back at him in one sitting at the party and the realization of how Toxic he’s been. This episode served as a good punch to the gut wake up call for him and its nice to see him acknowledging the way his actions have affected people and getting back to neutral at least for some of the big people in his life he’s keeping at bay (besides his sister but thats to be seen) I feel like this episode is really setting up him reflecting his actions and become more emotionally vulnerable maybe seek help or talk to people around him more about whats been going on in his head.

I love how you could feel and hear how both Stolas and Blitzø still do love each other but they’re so hurt that it’s making it hard for them to come to terms with it.

Honestly Stiz needed to end for both to move foward to thier own paths.....a bit sad no Barbie Wire.

The only thing that pisses me off is the fucking gap from june-october 💀

[@Senwa_Zenno]

A part of me was thinking Barb might end up appearing. I wonder if she was on Blitz’s apology tour list

I hope one of the shorts is about how Martha and Miss Mayberry became a couple.

you're actually a madman. great review as per usual!

[@natalieluisflores]

Stolas kissing the other imp is heartbreaking and it breaks everyones heart so much, blitz doesn't deserve stolas.

I was hoping for a Verosika relationship flashback, one lamenting from her perspective while Blitz actively minimizes it, would've showed a great juxtaposition with how they saw things. unfortunate
