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

Plot
A typical day at I.M.P office. Moxxie tells Loona he lost some weight, possibly a reference to her calling him fat in previous episodes. Millie suddenly barges in pissed off because she bumped into her ex-boyfriend earlier. She then complained about he went on about how rich he was with a bright future and a bigger dick, much to Moxxie's jealousy, causing millie to punch a storage cupboard releasing hundreds of pictures of imp porn, which Blitzo called his "research". he was currently calling a client who invites them to his estate in greed, and when he accepts, a run down chopper destroys the left wall, much to Blitzo's annoyance of it being destroyed for the fifth time now. they then are taken to the Greed ring where they meet the client in the form of Moxxie's father Crimson.

It is revealed that Moxxie was born and raised in a mafia, and Millie's ex is actually Moxxie's ex boyfriend Chazwick Thurman. Moxxie explains how they had a relationship years ago before Chaz left him to get arrested after a heist. when he is thrown in prison, he met Blitzo who planned to help him escape, which when he was done, Millie tries to kill Chaz for his deed. When dinner came, Crimson explained that the real reason he invited Blitzo's team was because he wished to marry Chaz into the family because he believed Chaz was now rich. of course Moxxie and Millie were against it, but Crimson insists that after they were done they would return to their normal lives. when everyone leaves, Crimson demands to speak to Moxxie alone, where it's revealed he wanted to marry him over to Chaz, despite him already being married to Millie. Crimson threatens that if he refused, he and millie would pay severely, with Moxxie remembering his horrible childhood and losing his mother years ago.

When he goes to his room, Chaz is already there and tried to seduce Moxxie to loving him again by singing to him. Moxxie responds by kicking him out of his room. Chaz tries to seduce Millie next, only to be threatened by a knife at the throat, and finally scores Blitzo into having sex with him. afterwards blitzo steals his jacket and car keys, and discovers Chaz was never rich, and his intentions to marry Moxxie for his dad's fortune. when blitzo tries to warn the others, Chaz tranquilizes him and stuffs him in his trunk. the next morning Millie goes to find blitzo, and Moxxie stands up to Crimson, saying he won't go through with the arrangement threatening that if he tried to hurt his family, he would show them how good he was at his job. however Crimson has his goons electrocute Moxxie. With Millie, she finds Blitzo, after killing two imp-sharks who try to kill her, Blitzo tells millie what chaz was up to, but the entire estate is on lockdown.

In the courtyard, the marriage begins with Moxxie forced into a wedding gown with his arms tied up and mouth gagged. the priest skips to the I-dos when suddenly Blitzo and Millie crashing the wedding, Blitzo yelling out "I object!" to reference Shrek. Millie fights all of Crimsons goons turning the wedding into a massacre, and wins taking Moxxie away. Blitzo tells Crimson that Chaz wasn't rich as they fly off into the helicopter they came in. this makes Crimson furious as he looks to an embarrassed Chaz.

The helicopter crashes into I.M.P office where loona remained where she was yesterday, where Millie tells moxxie he could've just told her about his dad. they both hug it out and Blitzo bragged about how he boned Chaz relishing how all three of them fucked him now. with Crimson, he had just hanged Chaz teeth on is wall of trophies, indicating he was now dead when Crimson discovered he lied to him.

Trivia

 * This episode has scenes shown in animatics from the trailer for season two, to which some shots were completed and improved.
 * It is revealed that Moxxie and Blitzo met in prison, where they were cellmates.
 * Moxxie's surname is revealed to be Knolastname and that Millie took his surname during the wedding.
 * 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".
 * 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". The band has also previously done 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 on-screen.
 * According to the Helluva Boss animation lead Chii this also happened to her as well.
 * According to storyboard artist, Arielle Somerville, since none of the actors recorded for that part during the Blitzo and Chaz off-screen sex scene, she was assigned to place a stock sex sound effect into the board, which made it into the final animation.
 * Chazwick's license place spells "HGECOK", a word play of "huge cock".
 * Inside Chaz's car, it is shown that Chaz has an eviction notice that reads, "Listen, you asshole. Leave the fucking house by the 6th of this month or we will kill you, we do NOT care about you and your huge cock. Fuck you."
 * The different radio stations available include "Mammon Channel™️", "Station 69", "Lusty Tunes", "Station 66.6", "Station 80.085", and "Wrath's #1 '' "F*ck You Up" Hits".
