Exes and Oohs

"I spent my whole life of being afraid of you, but I'm not giving up the only good thing I've ever had just so you can keep your fragile little sense of control over everything. Millie is a good woman, a better woman than I deserve. And there's nothing that scares me more than hurting her - not even you. I'm leaving, dad. And, if you or Herpes the Clown over here try to stop me, you'll learn firsthand just how good I've gotten at my job."

Trivia

 * It is revealed that Moxxie and Blitzo met in prison, where they were cellmates.
 * Moxxie's surname is revealed to be Knolastname. It is also shown that Millie took his surname.
 * It is revealed that Moxxie grew up in the Greed Ring. However, this contradicts his stating he was native to the Wrath Ring from "The Harvest Moon Festival".
 * It was later clarified by writer, Adam Neylan, that Moxxie was indeed born in Wrath and that his mother was from there. However, Moxxie was raised and spent most of his life in Greed. Hence, his not very "country-vibe, "Wrathian values".
 * Two of the imp kids that appeared in the episode "Loo Loo Land" were seen catching some of Blitzo's pictures.
 * After Millie kills one of Crimson's gang members, salmon sushi splatters out of him along with blood.
 * This episode features the guest music of California indie-band "Until Further Notice" who provided the song "Crashin' a Muthafuckin' Wedding". Until Further Notice previously did music for the early works of Brandon Rogers.
 * Much like the episode "C.H.E.R.U.B", the dildos shown in the episode were censored due to YouTube's restrictions on sexual content.
 * According to Monica Franco her computer crashed twice during two of the scenes due to the amount of dildos onscreen.
 * According to the Helluva Boss animation lead Chii this also happened to her as well.
 * According to storyboard artist Arielle Somerville, for the Blitzo and Chaz off-screen sex scene, since none of the actors recorded for that part, she was assigned to place a stock sex sound effect into the board, which made it into the final animation.

Cultural References

 * The episode title is a reference to the Xs and Os people put at the end of text messages, signifying kisses and hugs.
 * The title could also be a reference to country and rock singer, Elle King's song with the same name.
 * Crimson's voice and mannerisms are patterned after Marlon Brando's portrayal of from . Crimson is also seen with a Marlon Brando-esque imp in one of his photos.
 * A scene in Moxxie's flashback, in which Chaz confesses his love to Moxxie using cardboard signs with text, parodies the Christmas caroler scene from the film .
 * It is pointed out by Blitzo that Moxxie's purported flashback to Chaz painting his nude portrait and his remark that it has been 84 years are clear references to James Cameron's .
 * The note Blitzo finds in Chaz's car detailing his harebrained scheme to make profit is a reference to the  episode "".
 * Blitzo's phrase "doing a Shrek" references to the scene in the first  film where the titular character dramatically disrupts a wedding ceremony to voice his disapproval. Blitzo even yells out "I object!" to add into the reference
 * One of the shark goons, Giancarlo, is dressed in white clown face-paint, a likely reference to DC Comics'.
 * Chazwick Thurman's name may be a reference to late American actor, who was most notable for his portrayal of the Marvel Comics superhero, Black Panther, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Continuity

 * Blitzo's complaint about the chopper destroying the meeting room's walls rather than using the entrance calls back to Loopty Goopty doing the same thing in "C.H.E.R.U.B".
 * The helicopter flies past the charred remains of Loo Loo Land following the aftermath of the episode of the same name.
 * It is also shown that Loo Loo Land has been under construction and is being rebuilt since its destruction.
 * In the scene where Moxxie is looking at photos on his smartphone, there are pictures of him and Millie in cat costumes and Millie in a dress. This refers to the events of the episodes C.H.E.R.U.B and Ozzie's.

Errors

 * In several scenes, Chaz is animated with all of his teeth.
