Unhappy Campers

"It matters how I feel about myself. And for once I feel…Like I'm important! Like I'm someone to be proud of…And I had hoped that my husband would be there to support me half as much as I've supported him this week!"

- Millie

Unhappy Campers is the fifth episode of the second season of Helluva Boss and is the thirteenth episode overall. It premiered on July 8, 2023, on Vivziepop's YouTube channel.

Synopsis
Moxxie gets to lead a mission for the first time, and things sure do happen.

Plot
The episode begins with Blitzo sneaking around a large bright building, sneaking under the windows, and then climbing over the drain gutter downspout. He opens the window and then tries to enter the windowsill, but his big horns gave him a struggle before he finally falls inside of the room. He looks around, but then, a hand holding a taser device suddenly shocks him painfully at the anus below his tail.

The taser was revealed to be in the hands of a nurse who warns Blitzo that he is not allowed to be in the room despite sodomizing him several times with a taser every time he comes back to the rehab center. They exchange insults to each other before Blitzo then asks about the location of his older sister: Barbie Wire. The nurse, revealed to be a rehab therapist, tells Blitzo that his sister checked out of the rehab center months ago, and didn't even bother to tell Blitzo about it, which infuriates him. Before Blitzo heads out through the window again, the nurse warns Blitzo that his sister has a new life now free of the rehabilitation, but Blitzo responds by insulting her and calling her a "pussy-face" before crashing down.

At the I.M.P Headquarters, the Imp couple, Moxxie and Millie are having a discussion with a demon sinner who is their potentially next client when Blitzo returns, all bruised and covered in dirt and brush leaves after falling out of the rehab building. Moxxie tries to get his attention and calls him about their next client, but Blitzo, very infuriated, was not in the mood and slams the door of his office, ignoring Moxxie and Millie. The demon sinner made a request for I.M.P. to kill a camp counselor who killed her. However, the client tells Moxxie and Millie that he does not know who killed him after he drowned in one of his boats because someone drilled a hole in them and since the camp counselors has the keys to the boat all the time, and they know he cannot swim. Moxxie was hesitant about taking the job because their policies does not allow them to do investigations due to the waste of time and effort. Moxxie will ask Blitzo about it, and just as he enters, Blitzo was flipping through his contact booklet to see who knows his sister, still ignoring Moxxie by the door.

Moxxie tries to explain the situation, but he keeps getting shut down by Blitzo who was trying to find the contacts despite Moxxie's persistence. Irritated with Moxxie, Blitzo tells him to handle the case himself and threatens him out of his office. Moxxie, ecstatic, tells the clien that they'll take the case for the job. Now Millie was hesitant about Moxxie leading a case on their job, and asks if he's up for the task, and about Blitzo, so Moxxie reassures her that Blitzo is fine with it, much to her surprise.

In his officer, Blitzo is still searching for his sister, and even tries to check her social media, and even a job application, but every calls he makes ends up no where to be found. He recieved another call from a contact who tells him of Barbie's previous contact and hungs up on the phone before he runs out of the office, still ignoring Millie and Moxxie, who made a investigation wall to determin the killer of their client. Millie was wondering if Moxxie was taking it in too much, but Moxxie assures her that it has to be perfect.

Moxxie and Millie enters to Camp Ivannokumore in the middle of a summer day. They each took a disguise with Moxxie disguised as a girl named "Moxxine" while Millie is disguised as a boy and his brother, "Millerd". Millie spots one fo the camp counselors wearing a trench coat holding a big sack on his back. Moxxie tries to dismiss the counsolor, but Millie tells him it's obviously clear that the camp counselor was holding a bag of drugs, money, and a drill. Moxxie is still dismissive with Millie's obvious observation, but she didn't want to insist since this was his first solo case, and does her best to fit in with Moxxie's ideal investigation.

Moxxie spots a group of three teenage girls and tries to "blend in" by giving them a stereotypical teenage girl talk, but the three teenage girls were very disgusted with Moxxie and makes insults at him and his “disfigurement”. Meanwhile, a volleyball was rolling to her and Millie picks it up before she joins a group of campers playing volleyball. She plays so well that other campers notices her very strong athletic skills which attracted the teenage girls and upsetting Moxxie as Millie was earning cheers and praise despite accidently fracturing one of the camper’s skull with a volley ball.

Meanwhile, Blitzo comes to a receptionist about his sister, but when he was clueless of who he was, Blitzo, in blind fury and rage, grabs him and holds him violently against the wall and slapping his face with his tail. He further interrogates him and beats him senselessly until the receptionist finally tells him that Barbie is out on pickup.

Back at the camp, Millie continues to show off her amazing demonic skills that earned a lot of cheers from the campers and counselors despite accidently crashing in the camper she fractured. However, Moxxie is upset because Millie was getting more and more popular with her online sensation. Completely dejected, Moxxie reminds Millie that they still have a job to do, but he cannot do the job because the campers and counselors were very swooned over her. Millie insisted on getting their attention since he is supposed to be her sister. At the campfire, Moxxie tries to do what Millie asked him do and ends up singing a horrible campfire song which disgusted the other campers. However, Millie ends up upstaging Moxxie with her banjo, greatly upsetting Moxxie even more.

Demoralized, Moxxie cries in shame and hides in a camp lavatory, completely miserable of  his failures to get into the crowd. Millie cheers up Moxxie and tells him to do his best at what he is. Moxxie tries and do very well to investigate, but each day was a disaster, getting hit by a volleyball, getting attacked by a shark, getting mauled by a bear, and then finally, getting to be a outcast while Mille continues on with her popularity. She became so popular that the camp is offering her to perform on stage in front of local news. Moxxie was not in the same foul mood as Blitzo since he’s now angry that his own solo work isn’t go so well. He finally vents out his frustration at Millie for slacking off instead of doing the job of killing the camp counselor who killed their client. In return, Millie vents out her frustration at Moxxie because he wanted to do the job his way and not the other way around, and both of them got into a heated argument over who was responsible for their mishap before Millie tells Moxxie he can do whatever he wants to do, but to let her have her moment and walks off with tears. Moxxie feels guilty for making his wife cry and their marriage in jeopardy.

Blitzo, after endlessly searching for his sister, comes across a dealer and threatens him with his flintlock until the dealer gives him what he asked for: a Asmodean Crystal that has access to the real world. He open the door and Blitzo enters through into the human world, unknowingly entering Camp Ivannakummore.

On stage, Millie was upset now because she wasn’t sure if Moxxie is in the crowd somewhere watching her. As she walked up on stage, Moxxie appear on stage in front of the audience. He addressed Millie to the crowd of how much she is proud, grateful, strong, and happy, and the love of his life, unknowingly creeping the crowd.

Moxxie hands Millie the microphone to give them a hell of a performance and in return, Millie tells Moxxie that the target is walking back to the cabin with someone else. As Moxxie approaches the cabin, he ends up falling on Blitzo, much to their disgust. Blitzo was angry at Moxxie because he and Millie are still on a job for a week.

Notheless, they both came to the cabin and kicked the door down, and, much to his shock and surprise, he finds his sister in human guise. Barbie was also shocked and surprised, but also disgusted that Blitzo is here too. Moxxie was completely confused and asked Blitzo if he knows her, which he confirmed Barbie to be his sister.

As Millie begins her performance, Blitzo and Barbie had an argument while Moxxie tells Blitzo that the camp counselor was the target, much to his amusement. Moxxie tries to explain that the camp counselor was the target because he killed a client and so the client wants him dead because of it, much to her own disappointment before the camp counselor confessed that the client found out of the drugs. Barbie dismissed him and tells Blitzo that she isn’t going to let them kill her drug supplier.

Barbie says that she has finally found work and a chance to get away from Blitzo for putting her in rehab. She revealed that she seduced the camp counselor to help deal drugs.

Moxxie, however, has had enough of the drama after spending a week on the job and declare that he is going to finish the job whether or not he likes it. Barbie gets angry and attacks Moxxie. Blitzo ends up getting in the fight and all do three of them are fighting while Millie does her performance on stage. Eventually, one of the fireworks backfires and flies into the cabin in front of the camp counselor and blows him up.

Barbie was infuriated that not only was her dealer killed, but she was out of job. She admonished Blitzo for ruining her life again and tells him off before using a Asmodean Crystal to open the door back to Hell.

Moxxie returns back to the stage and apologized for being rude to her. Millie forgives him and together, they end up getting aroused and start having sex on stage, unaware that they are having sex in front of the crowd and the news crew.

Back in Hell, the Imps were watching the news about Millie’s tarnished reputation as a horny illicit who has an incest relationship sex with her sister live on stage, which also destroyed her popularity. Despite that, Blitzo tells Moxxie that he did a good job getting the target for his first solo mission, but he lies and tells him that he’s such a disgrace, much to Moxxie’s sadness and Millie’s frustration, as Loona sleeps on the table, completely oblivious to the whole thing.
