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

Exes and Oohs is the third episode of the second season of Helluva Boss and is the tenth episode overall. It premiered on March 11, 2023, on Vivziepop's YouTube channel.

Synopsis
Moxxie visits his childhood home and things sure do happen.

Plot
A typical day at I.M.P office begins when Moxxie tells Loona he lost some weight, in response to her calling him fat in previous instances. Millie suddenly barges in, violently embittered, because she bumped into her ex-boyfriend earlier. She complains about how he went on about how rich he was with a bright future and a bigger dick, much to Moxxie's jealousy. In her rage, Millie then punches a storage cupboard releasing hundreds of pictures. Blitzo, currently talking on the phone, comes out from his office upset about the commotion. Moxxie apologizes for the outburst and picks up the photos, which depicts imp porn before Blitzo snatches it away and claims it is his "research". Returning to his office, Blitzo resumes his conversation with a client, who invites them to his estate in greed, and when he accepts, a run-down helicopter destroys the left wall, much to Blitzo's annoyance. The imps, are then are taken to the Greed Ring where they meet the client in the form of Moxxie's father: Crimson.

Crimson introduces himself to Blitzo, who takes a liking to Crimson complimenting him, and Millie, who introduces herself as Moxxie's wife, before they are ushered inside for dinner. While sitting in the parlor, Moxxie inquires why Crimson invited them. Crimson chastises him for asking, before stating they are still waiting for one guest. At that moment, another demon bursts into the door—Chazwick Thurman, Millie's ex-boyfriend, and, to their mutual surprise, also Moxxie's ex-boyfriend. Millie is shocked that they dated, while Blito is furious that both of them had sex with the same person. Moxxie explains they met during Moxxie's initiation into the mafia, while revealing he was born and raised in a mafia to Blitzo's shock. Moxxie and Chaz kept the relationship years ago, before Chaz abandoned him during a heist. After he was thrown in prison, it was there he met Blitzo who planned to help him escape and begin business together. Millie tries to kill Chaz for his deed, but is interrupted when a maid alerts them all that dinner is ready. When dinner comes, Crimson explained that the real reason he invited Blitzo's team was because he wished to welcome Chaz into the family, in order to receive funds from Chaz's purportedly high wealth. Moxxie and Millie are against this, 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 is revealed he wanted to marry him over to Chaz, despite him already being married to Millie. Crimson threatens that if Moxxie refuses, he and Millie will pay severely, causing Moxxie to remember his horrible childhood and losing his mother years ago.

When he goes to his room, Chaz is already there and tries 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 convinces Blitzo into having sex with him. Afterward, while Chaz is asleep, Blitzo, dissappointed by the mediocre sex, becomes suspicious. He steals his jacket and car keys, and discovers Chaz was never rich, and his intentions were 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, and 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 ceremonial vows when suddenly, Blitzo and Millie crashing the wedding with Chaz's car. Millie fights all of Crimson's goons, turning the wedding into a massacre, before walking up to the alter and takes Moxxie away, to Crimson's begrudging acquiescence. Chaz tries to protest, but Millie chucks a dildo on a stick down his throat, shouting Moxxie's ass was hers, and spanks him dramatically, making Moxxie blush. Blitzo tells Crimson that Chaz wasn't rich as they fly off into the helicopter they came in. This makes Crimson angry, 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 had sex with Chaz, relishing how all three of them have had mutual sex with Chaz now. Meanwhile, back at Crimson's mansion, Crimson places Chaz's teeth on his wall of trophies, indicating he had Chaz murdered for lying to him. A furious Crimson then throws a knife at his family portrait, the knife hitting an image of young Moxxie at his forehead, in response to his now estranged son for defying 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".

Continuity
