Helluva Boss
Season 1 - Episode 6
"Truth Seekers"
Two agents are monitoring footage that show I.M.P in action on their previous Earth missions; the agents confirm they are looking at the creatures from Hell that have been killing off specific individuals. According to one of them, they attack at random throughout the country, and it’s impossible to guess where they’re going to appear next. Suddenly, a disturbance occurs outside of their hideout; the agents peek out of the window and discover, with convenience, that it is one of the demons they have been investigating.
Blitzo noisily climbs out of the dumpster he fell into and, after harshly telling Moxxie and Millie to be quiet, subsequently falls into a trash can. Moxxie chastises him for being louder than them both and Blitzo angrily tells him to shut it. As Millie goes through the portal generated by Loona and the grimoire, Blitzo tackles Moxxie to the ground as a capture net flies past them. The two agents prepare to fire again and Blitzo quickly tells Loona to close the portal; despite Millie’s protests, Loona does so. Moxxie and Blitzo prepare to fight the agents, but Moxxie is quickly tranquilized. Blitzo grabs Moxxie and runs down an alley but finds a dead end; he threatens the agents, but they fire an electric shock that knocks both of the Imps unconscious.
Back at I.M.P headquarters, Millie is crying and punching the wall in anger. She tells Loona that they have to go back but Loona points out the seriousness in Blitzo’s tone when he told Loona to close the portal; therefore, she must keep the portal closed. Before she can finish speaking, Millie angrily grabs Loona by her shirt and orders her to open the portal again, to which Loona finally relents. Loona grabs Blitzo’s backpack of emergency supplies, dons her human disguise and opens the portal, while Millie leaps through the portal with a double-headed battle axe. Seeing no trace of Blitzo and Moxxie, Loona soon picks up Blitzo’s scent and they follow the trail.
I'll have a Neapolitan cappuccino, more cappu- than -ccino, make sure it's got no more than four ounces of milk; the beans won't have the right texture otherwise, and make sure they spell my name correctly on the cup-they always put "Foxy" or "Roxy"; I hate that. If you can't handle that, I'll have a Venti traditional misto. Please use soy milk, with two blond shots affogato *points foot accusatorily at Agent Two* and ristretto! I'd also love... three vanilla pumps at the very bottom, then add the coffee after, then add--
Moxxie wakes up tied to Blitzo with the two agents, who begin questioning them, but their efforts quickly falter due the fact that neither Blitzo or Moxxie take them seriously or are even the least bit intimidated by them, much to the agents frustration. The agents become repulsed when both Imps respond positively to the thought of torture and go to leave. Blitzo quips they deserve a phone call; when asked who they would call, he mocks them once again and causes Agent One to cry after a callous comment about his dead mother.
Loona and Millie reach the headquarters of D.H.O.R.K.S. where Blitzo and Moxxie are being held; they find a way inside and begin stealthily avoiding the other agents. Unfortunately, they are spotted by security cameras and an alert goes out. Millie and Loona are surrounded by agents but the two make quick work of killing the agents and continue searching.
After more insults from Blitzo, Agent Two leads Agent One out of the room to come up with a plan; overhearing Blitzo and Moxxie taunting about how they can break them by continuing to be obnoxious, the agents decide to turn the tables on them and release a truth gas into the room. Moxxie worries about Millie and notes they have never gone up against the human government before. Blitzo angrily lashes out about him constantly worrying about his wife and how he never makes time to hang out, mentioning how it is pathetic. After a moment, both Moxxie and Blitzo realize that was an oddly personal attack and then they notice the gas. The two begin uncontrollably confessing various lies they told the other; this quickly turns to them insulting one another, hurting the other’s feelings in the process. They then both begin experiencing individual hallucinations. Moxxie experiences one involving Blitzo tormenting him in regards to his constant worrying, while Blitzo undergoes one that addresses his toxic and selfish personality. Blitzo tries to deny it, but hallucinations of Striker, Fizzarolli, Verosika Mayday, and Stolas tell Blitzo he’s afraid of intimacy and drives others away from him. Conversely, Moxxie admits to the Blitzo hallucination that he tries to please everyone and as a result, keeps his true feelings hidden away.
After the gas wears off, Moxxie tells Blitzo of a memory back when he first joined I.M.P; he could tell that Blitzo wanted to say something judgmental but instead said Moxxie did a good job and was proud to be co-workers. Blitzo then admits the reason he is hard on Moxxie is due to knowing what he is capable of, and he spends too much time caring about what others think of him. The two make up and hear a rumbling sound; Millie falls through the ceiling and (much to Blitzo’s surprise and concern), Loona breaks through the glass and yells they need to go. More agents surround I.M.P and Blitzo orders them to “fuck these fuckers up!”
Many of the agents are slaughtered and soon, only One and Two are left alive. One presses a red button that puts the entire facility under lockdown. I.M.P. is trapped within the interrogation room and due to the red lighting, Loona is unable to create a portal to let them escape. As Two gloats about their capture, a sudden chill fills the area, and a massive shadow appears on the ceiling. A monitor suddenly turns on and a shadow appears among the static before it turns off, revealing a four eyed being. Several monitors fall to the floor as a demonic voice echoes at them for harming Blitzo; the agents notice several three toed footprints appear in front of them and One gets hit in the head with a monitor. He spots Two standing in the corner and twitching with a look of pure horror on her face as several dead agents arise behind her and begin drawing the symbol of Stolas on the ground.
One tentatively reaches out to Two, whose head turns around and has a demonic look on her face. She mocks him for being a weakling, cowering in the presence of a real demon, and a black substance shoots upward from her mouth; several feathers are seen floating and the agents along with I.M.P. react in shock and horror at seeing the black mass form itself into Stolas; he first appears in a demonic form to threaten the cowering agents before slimming down to his more regal appearance. He glares at the agents before pressing a button which disables the lockdown.
How the FUCK... did you get caught by humans?! Are you little creatures not being careful up here?! You know, if you get in trouble, I get in trouble! WE... don't want that!
Blitzo incredulously asks how Stolas knew he was in danger, but the Goetia demon coyly states he has ways of knowing. After asking and confirming that Blitzo is okay, Stolas then goes into a reprimanding tirade on how they were caught by humans reminding them that if they get into trouble while on Earth, then so does he which is something which they don’t want; Moxxie defends Blitzo by stating they were caught off guard. Blitzo confirms this and how it will not happen again. Stolas then opens a portal back to Hell and asks Blitzo if he will be getting a reward for saving him. Blitzo agrees and offers to have rough sex with him later but wants Stolas to keep quiet or he’ll be using those “bear traps”, much to the excitement of the latter.
After they process everything which had just happened, Two asks what they should do now. One excitedly claims that they finally have the evidence which they needed to be taken seriously, going to the damaged computer showing that the security cameras have recorded all the events inside the interrogation room. One and Two smile as he chuckles that nobody in corporate is ignoring this footage.
