Synopsis
Fizz goes to buy milk, and things sure do happen.

Plot
As Fizzarolli and Asmodeus lie together asleep in bed, Fizzaroli is woken up by an alarm that he proceeds to destroy. He then extends his arms moving all throughout Asmodeus' palace until they reach the kitchen where he fills a cup with some brewed coffee; he then brings the coffee pot back where he sits it on a nearby nightstand. After donning a morning jester cap, Fizzaroli drinks from the pot and then jumps up to the ceiling and wakes up Asmodeus with an airhorn.

As Asmodeus begins to clothe himself, Fizzaroli begins reading off an itinerary of appointments he scheduled for Asmodeus throughout the day including a meeting with Prince Stolas during lunch. After Fizzaroli offers to make breakfast, Asmodeus tells Fizzaroli that he's not to cook anything after a prior incident and the two continue flirting as they approach the kitchen.

While Asmodeus cooks, Fizzaroli notices a magazine with pictures of them both in a loving embrace; he quickly discards it in a nearby trash can & throws the can out the window. As they have breakfast, Asmodeus is nervous about Fizzarolli going out on his own to run a few errands; eventually, Fizzaroli is able to convince Asmodeus to let him go, promising to keep a low profile. As they cuddle, one of Asmodeus' assistants comes in with several shipments of items only to be told by both to leave & give them some privacy.

Upon arriving in Greed, Fizzaroli immediately goes and causes several folks to stare at him as he walks his pet dogs down the street while to the store; he absentmindedly comments how it is nice to keep a low profile while knocking over other imps and demons. Just ahead, Blitzo is thrown onto the sidewalk after getting kicked out of a coffee shop; the two notice each other and immediately begin trading insults with the other. After Fizzaroli makes a remark about their time at the circus, Blitzo immediately jumps him and the two begin to fight.

In a nearby building, Crimson is seen interviewing Striker about a job. Striker mentions having captured a royal one week prior, but Crimson derides him for not killing the royal. Striker brushes it aside, maintaining that he has a body count in the hundreds. While Crimson thinks it over, Striker hears a commotion outside & notices both Blitzo and Fizzaroli fighting in the street; hearing that Crimson wants something of value to consider hiring him, Striker lassos the two imps and pulls them to the meeting room. Crimson recognizes both Blitzo and Fizz, hiring Striker on the spot and the latter runs a blade over Fizz's throat.

After a busy morning at his vibrator factory, Asmodeus meets with Stolas. He greets the prince and mentions their prior encounter at Ozzie's, wondering if Stolas is still seeing Blitzo. Stolas brings up his feelings towards the imp as well as a request to get an Asmodean Crystal for Blitzo so he can use it for his business requests. While Asmodeus is sympathetic to Stolas, he refuses the request due to the history between Fizzaroli and Blitzo. Just then, a call comes in from Fizz's phone but when Asmodeus answers it, Crimson is on the other line. He reveals that he is holding Fizzaroli captive and will be sending a lawyer over with his demands in exchange for Fizz's freedom. Asmodeus roars in anger as the recording comes to an end, the last line being, Asmodeus has until 3am to sign the contract.

Blitzo and Fizzaroli are tied up and thrown into a shark cage; while Fizzaroli hyperventilates and panics, Blitzo insults him for not keeping a clear head and that Asmodeus will do anything to keep him alive. Incensed, Fizzaroli throws it back at Blitzo regarding his relationship with Stolas; Blitzo brushes it aside and says it is nothing more than a sex thing Stolas is into. When Fizzaroli probes deeper as to why he was with Stolas at Ozzie's, Blitzo sidesteps it and says he was at Ozzie's for different reasons. Eventually, Striker tells them both to shut up and calls them disgraces for having relations with demons outside their caste. Crimson tells Striker to "keep his hands off the merchandise'" and as they walk away, Fizzaroli comments how Striker has bad breath.

In Asmodeus' palace, he sits with Crimson's lawyer to sign the contract; with reading being a hobby of his, Stolas offers to look it over and sees that it would give Crimson all of Asmodeus' assets, including his factories and taking Fizz's head as a decoration. The lawyer quickly says that was to get his attention and brings out the actual contract, much to Stolas' joy & Asmodeus' anger.

As Fizzaroli continues to fail in his attempts to escaping, Blitzo offers to help him; upon Fizzaroli agreeing, Blitzo procures a hidden knife in his boot and cuts them both free. Scouting the warehouse layout, Blitzo comes up with a Rube Goldberg style plan that ends up killing most of Crimson's goons and breaks them out of their cage. An angered Crimson orders the surviving goons to capture the two imps, but both Blitzo and Fizzaroli evade them while bringing up their troubled past.

It eventually comes to a point where Fizzarolli brings up how everyone preferred him during their time together in the circus and that caused Blitzo to get jealous and want him gone so he could take the spotlight for himself; this led to a pyrotechnic explosion at Fizz's birthday party that ended up burning down the circus and cost Fizzaroli his arms, legs and horns. Tearfully, Blitzo says that the explosion was indeed his fault and apologizes for what happened but that it was an accident and he actually tried to get help; Blitzo then reveals that he was caught in the explosion as well and implies that the strained relationship with his sister and death of his mother was in part of that. After getting interrupted by another goon, Fizzaroli understandably asks Blitzo why he never came to Fizzaroli with the truth after fifteen years; when both Blitzo and Fizzaroli reveal they were told that the other had no desire to see either of them, they both realize that misunderstanding was the source of their long-standing feud.

Several hours pass and eventually Stolas is able to broker an agreement with Crimson's lawyer. He then proceeds to take his time reading it, while Asmodeus threatens him and burns the chair Stolas is sitting on.

Despite finding out the truth, Fizzarolli tells Blitzo that it is going to still be hard to forgive him for the accident but admits that his life is not so bad now thanks to his relationship with Asmodeus. Blitzo says he's happy for him, then they are cornered by the rest of Crimson's goons and Striker. As they advance closer, Blitzo tells Fizz to distract them while he works on cutting a hole in the ceiling so they can escape. After Fizz does a song and performance, Blitzo is successful and the two escape, with the warehouse they were being held at collapses on Striker, Crimson and the rest of the goons.

After getting themselves far enough away, Blitzo and Fizzarolli catch their breath and complement each other on their individual roles in the breakout. As they hotwire a car to leave, Fizz is dragged away by a still alive Striker who has been driven mad over his constant failure to beat Blitzo or his employees in a fight. As he threatens to kill Fizz, Striker gets angrier when Fizz makes a comment about being aroused by the situation. Blitzo takes advantage of the distraction and shoots several oil cans behind them; Striker turns to get enveloped by a ball of fire and frantically screams while trying to put out the flames before slithering away. Fizz is slammed against a billboard, damaging both his arms and gets surrounded by flames; Blitzo is able to maneuver over to him using his prior circus training and rescues Fizz from the fire, redeeming himself for the earlier incident. The two bury the hatchet and become friends once more.

Fizz returns to Ozzie, Stolas watches them happily before smirking at the lawyer before leaving. As the lawyer tries to escape, he gets cornered by Ozzie and killed. The two leave the room and Ozzie cuddles him. Fizz reminds him that people are watching but Ozzie doesn't care. Asmodeus fixes Fizzarolli's broken limbs, telling him about how Stolas wanted a crystal for Blitzo. Fizzarolli tells Ozzie that he earned it. After Asmodeus replaces Fizz's broken limbs, Fizzarolli tells Ozzie about the new kinks he discovered from the hostage situation. Then they go to their bedroom as the episode ends.

 * Fizzarolli's line "meow meow meow meow cuddle meow" and the the bit about Asmodeus' dick size were improv by Alex Brightman, and according to Vivziepop as soon as Alex said the "kaiju" part she decided "that's going in the ep for sure".
 * It is revealed that when they were younger, Blitzo accidentally started a fire that burned down his family's circus, which severely wounded Fizzarolli, including his horns and limbs, and got him the massive white scar on his face, explaining why Fizzarolli and Barbie held a grudge against him. It is also implied that Blitzo's mother perished in the fire.
 * This also reveals that the white markings on imps often come from burned tissue scarring.
 * According to Sam Haft, Look at This was the toughest songwriting assignment he had of the episodes that have released up until "Oops".
 * This is the seventh episode where the characters don’t travel to Earth, the first six being Loo Loo Land, The Harvest Moon Festival, Queen Bee, The Circus, Exes and Oohs, and Western Energy.
 * This is also the third episode wherein Millie and Moxxie are absent from an episode, with the first two being "Queen Bee" and "The Circus".
 * According to one of the storyboard artists on Twitter, named the albino Queef that Fizz has as a pet as "Precious" during boarding, and she had the same color schemes as the rest of Fizz's other Queeves. Precious' color scheme was then changed to its current palette and its current name is unknown.

Cultural References

 * When Fizzarolli lists Asmodeus's duties, he is wearing glasses with blue and red lenses, which was how people used to view 3D movies.
 * Wally Wackford's advertisement in the newspaper references the recurring "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tubemen" gag from Family Guy.
 * During the song "Look at This", Fizzarolli did the iconic dance that Squidward Tentacles did in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, Culture Shock.
 * The theme that plays during the montage of the assembly line is similar to the jazz composition ', best known for appearing in various ' shorts composed by Carl Stalling as well as the bumper theme music for from 1998 to 2003.
 * The cover of the occult book Fizzarolli shows off during his number resembles the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from the  series of films.

Continuity

 * During his meeting with Stolas, Ozzie brings up the events of "Ozzie's", where he called out Stolas being seen on a date with Blitzo. Along with Stolas alluding to Asmodean Crystals, which were alluded to in "The Circus" and seen in "Unhappy Campers".
 * During Crimson and Striker's conversation, Striker mentions the time he kidnapped Stolas, revealing that the events of "Western Energy" happened a week ago, meaning that the end of that episode is also the opening to "Unhappy Campers".
 * Stolas is fully recovered and discharged from St. An's Hospital since the events of "Western Energy".

Errors

 * When the initial clip of Fizzarolli drinking coffee was released on the official Twitter account, his tail was missing. This was averted in the final animation. This could possibly be why the episode was delayed.
 * When Crimson's lawyer is looking over the new contract (around 23:09), there is a brief moment where he is seen with his jacket off, but the pan over from Asmodeus has him wearing it before disappearing again.
