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."

- Moxxie

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 is later clarified by writer, Adam Neylan, that "Moxxie was, indeed, born in Wrath." and that "his mom was from there". "However, [Moxxie] was raised and spent most of his life in Greed. Hence, his not very country-vibe, or 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.
 * 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.

Cultural References

 * One of these flashbacks also parodies the Christmas caroler scene from the film .
 * Blitzo's phrase "doing a Shrek" refers to the scene in the first  film where the title character dramatically disrupts a wedding ceremony to voice his disapproval.
 * One of the shark goons is dressed in white clown face-paint, a likely reference to DC Comics'.
 * The note Blitzo finds in Chaz's car detailing his harebrained scheme to make profit is a reference to the  episode "".
 * Chazwick Thurman's name is a reference to 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.

Errors

 * During the Helluva Boss pilot, where Mrs. Knolastname was first indirectly mentioned alongside her husband by Moxxie, she appears to [Moxxie] alongside her husband in a dream "being murdered" and that [Moxxie], after getting rudely woken up by his home's trespasser, tells him that [Moxxie] would "like to get back to that", implying that, either his relationship with his mother suddenly turned south last-minute for unspecified reasons, or he would rather suffer the dream than deal with Blitzo, or that this is simply a continuation error.
