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 Fizzaroli, hiring Striker on the spot and the latter runs a blade over Fizzaroli'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 Fizzaroli'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 Fizzaroli'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 Fizzaroli '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 Fizzaroli'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 Fizzaroli to distract them while he works on cutting a hole in the ceiling so they can escape. After Fizzaroli 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, Fizzaroli 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 Fizzaroli, Striker gets angrier when Fizzaroli 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. Fizzaroli 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 Fizzaroli from the fire, redeeming himself for the earlier incident. The two bury the hatchet and become friends once more.

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