Helluva Boss
Season 1 - Episode 1
"Murder Family"
Over a year and some change later, finally get the first official episode of Helluva Boss. And it was one Helluva debut.
We open on a happy Classroom with a very enthusiastic teacher (Mrs. Mayberry) singing her song she apparently sings everyday to the children of her classroom (one of which apparently knows his place in the corner wearing his Dunce cap).
During the song however the Dunce reminds Mrs. Mayberry that her husbands birthday is today. Distraught Mrs. Mayberry interrupts the song to tell her class she forgot to buy him a gift. One of her students tell her they could all call into a video chat and sing him Happy Birthday.
Mrs. Mayberry calls home on video chat and a stray unopened condom wrapper hits the keys to accept the call. What she see’s next she’s not expecting and immediately goes into a blind rage. One of her students (the one whos bright idea it was to call in the first place) tries to reason with Mrs. Mayberry to think before she acts, I’m sure she thought when she them promptly sent that girl through the roof into orbit.
Mrs. Mayberry races home, murders her husband and seemingly does the same to the mistress, before realizing the kids witnessed the whole thing and decides to take her own life.
We then find out Mrs. Mayberry was simply telling her story to Blitzo in an effort to hire him to kill the mistress who not only survived but is being labeled a hero for surviving the attack.
Side bar: I find it funny that not only does the media call her a hero for “surviving an attack from such a crazy bitch” but ignores WHY she was there in the first place. Her husband is also okay with what happened (more on that in a minute). And the icing on the cake is that the [Sinner Demon] she becomes is surprised she ended up in hell with the Hitlers and Epsteins of the world. Nice call out to Jeffrey Epstein but also how did she not realize that suicides negates God’s law and yes you would end up in hell.
Scripture says, “You must not murder” (Exodus 20:13) and Jesus repeated this (Matthew 19:18). God is the only one who is to decide when and how a person should die. Suicide, the taking of one’s own life, is self-murder and is ungodly because it rejects God’s gift of life. No man or woman should presume to take God’s authority upon themselves to end his or her own life.
That quote above is all thanks to (https://www.insightforliving.ca/read/articles/does-christian-who-commits-suicide-go-heaven).
Anyway…
We are then greeted with a Montage of everyone calling this woman a hero. A grocery store clerk, the news station, the city (also giving her a Million dollars in the process), her husband, Mrs. Mayberry’s students (that’s fucked up) and another random dude re-arranging her guts (how is her Husband okay with this?).
We then flash back to Demon Mrs. Mayberry in Blitzo face screaming she is NOT a hero! Blitzo tries to calm her down while pressing his panic button several times.
We then exit his office to see a hilarious panic display board with several options (More Coffee, Soiled My Pants, Horny Client, Deranged Client (currently blinking), Client Giving Birth, Ghost, and Stolas (which I find absolutely hilarious considering the Pilot episode).
Millie and Loona are trying to convince Moxxie that killing a family could be necessary and to not judge their book by their cover because anyone could be a psychopath hiding behind a smile (foreshadowing for later).
Blitz pops out of his room to announce their new client, scaring Mox and sending a crossbow arrow careening around the room before shadowing Blitzo’s new Eel tank.
They join the land of the living after Blitzo scolds Mox for destroying the tank and almost killing their client. Blitz and Mox find the family enjoying dinner and much to Mox disapproval of destroying a family stops Blitz from succeeding in their mission. This alerts the family (now known as Martha [the “hero”], Ralphie [the dumbass husband], the unnamed children of the parents). And we find out, under their smile is a very violent family all wielding guns.
Martha goes after Blitzo, Ralphie chases Millie and Mox is captured by the children.
Millie attempts to kill Ralphie but Ralphie overpowers her and knocks her unconscious. By the way, I’m in my 30’s, why do I find myself attracted to animated females? Millie’s evil grin while soaking wet is pretty hot… BAD PHAILURE! BAD!!
Mox awakens to find an attic full of human flesh trophies and the children staring at him in a very menacing way. Cue Patrick!
Blitzo hides from Martha but gets a phone call from Stolas to discuss the terms and conditions of their arrangement. This prompts Martha to continue her assault and fires a few shots in Blitzo’s direction.
Stolas requires his Grimoire however has an EXTREMELY reasonable arrangement. Once a month on the full moon, Blitzo will return the book to him, as well as have extreme sex with him like before, and in exchange, Stolas will let Blitzo keep the book for the rest of the time.
Blitzo agrees to hurry and end the call and in doing so entices Stolas to go on a sexualized fantasy rant which is interrupted by Martha who finally bags Blitzo.
Blitzo and Millie are tied to a stake and threatened to be burned alive and sent back to Hell to be with Satan. Mox sees the fire in the distance and overpowers the children before escaping.
Martha realizes burning the Imps will not be sufficient enough and realizes a gunshot wound would do the trick. They’re saved by Mox who shoots Martha through her right eye killing her instantly. Ralphie cowers and runs away.
Millie and Moxxie embrace and Blitzo does the same, with a warning, that if Moxxie interferes with the mission like that again he will FUCK Mollie and Moxxie. He then requests a portal home by contacting Loona (how many phones does this dude have?)
Moxxie says he “forgot something in the house” and heads back to tell Ralphie that his children have the rest of their life ahead of them and should use it wisely and not being brought up as violent psychopaths. He then calls the authorities to apprehend Ralphie.
Moxxie meets back up with Millie and Blitzo and looks back at the Police surrounding the house and blowing it up to hell seemingly killing Ralphie and the two kids as well.
Distraught Moxxie is dragged back to hell by Blitzo and the celebrate their kill and successful mission.
