The Harvest Moon Festival Title card

Spoilers ahead I will be talking about what happen in the episode and how it ends. This show is for 17 and up not for kids under 17.

During this pandemic, I have to say Vivipop has helped out big time in bringing laughter. I’m talking about the show Helluva boss. I already wrote two blogs which you can check out on my page.

I notice in each of the episodes, we all can relate to the characters or the stories. Like The Harvest Moon Festival; In-Laws, trying to get their approval.

Prince Stolas (left) and Blitzo (right)

When the episode starts Blitzo and Stoles had just finished fooling around, and Stoles invites Blitzo to join him at the Harvest moon festival, which is located in the ring of wrath.

Welcome to Millie's home

The group goes to stay at Millie’s family ranch for the event of the festival. Right off the bat we can see why Millie is a powerhouse, you have to be strong and fast when working on the Ranch.

Meet the folks

As for Moxxie he is the total opposite of Millie, he may not be strong and fast with his hands, but he is good with guns and researching combative strategies.

Of course, none of that matters to his in-laws, because according to Millie’s father “Guns get the job done, but a man ain’t nothing if he can’t tear the head of a hellish beast with only his bare hands” Blitzo be-rates Moxxie about his “small” hands, and to add more salt to the injury Joe calls

Striker (voiced by Norman Reese)

He was hired by Joe and Lin to help out on the Ranch, Everyone seems to like Striker even Blitzo.

Joe and Lin encourage both Blitzo and Striker to join the festival's annual ‘Pain Game’, where any imp can join to compete against each other to be the dominant this involves speed, strength, and aggression. But we learn Millie can’t join the completion due to her getting carried away and was the case of 15 separate funerals, Millie clarifies that she cause only 9 of them, but wanted to know why her sister Sallie Mae (Who happens to be a transgender) still got to compete.

Sallie Mae (Morgana Ignis

It’s funny how Lin informs Millie that, unlike Sallie Mae, she doesn’t have a neighborhood headcount, only to have Sallie Mae walk by dragging a corpse and saying calmly “it doesn’t count if you don’t find the body.”

If I can point out one thing about the difference between the male imps and female imps. If you were to look at the horns the males have black and white strips on their horns, while the females are all black. Sallie Mae even though she is female you can hear her voice that she was a male before.

Moxxie wanting the approval of Millie’s parents he announces he will join the Pain Games, Joe laughs and tells Moxxie to don’t even bother, because he was weak. Striker wants to embarrass Moxxie by telling him to waggle a demon hog. Moxxie feeling he can handle it but get discouraged because he is informed that the only way to kill the hog is with a dagger.

Moxxie not only gets humiliated. He injures his pride, and physically gets hurt. Millie tries to comfort her husband, and he tells him her parents will respect him eventually but Moxxie still goes into the event, and things don’t go as he had hope, he loses at every obstacle by getting trampled, punched, and for some reason attacked by a damn shark, Yeah…no joke.

Striker and Blitzo are the winners of the ‘Pain Game’ Moxxie feeling like a failure feels like shit when he is informed that Blitzo asked Striker if he wanted to join I.M.P. Moxxie had a hated to Striker, and stayed at the house for the remainder of the day, Alone with Striker Moxxie learns that striker really was an assassin for demon royalty. Moxxie was no match for striker even when Millie came to help. While trapped in a cellar (Striker throws them down there) Millie gets injured, but gives Moxxie words of encouragement, but Moxxie had a gun in his vest which he could have used earlier…what a dumbass.

Striker was on a mission to kill Stoles, Until Blitzo interferes but Striker was convincing Blitzo to unite as one with him since imps are the lowest of the low and royalty to die so they can rule hell.

Only to get the shit killed out of him from both Blitzo and Moxxie. But of course, Striker manages to get the upper hand. Blitzo, feeling confident calls for Loona, but let’s be real here she is very unreliable, so you have a better chance with a cat than with Loona. But thankful Blitzo and Moxxie manager to override Striker, and just as they are about to be victorious…Boom Loona shows up, saying “Ok, I’m here.” Like as if she actually gave a damn. Just as the Imps are heading out Millie gets an ear full on her losing a fight. And Moxxie figures he needs to stand up for his women, he says and I quote:

“ You know, she was protecting me. And maybe I'm not big and strong but Millie has the strength for both of us, you two are getting on her case over a killer you hired? Shame on you” Millie gives her approval because Moxxie stood up for her. You would think Joe and Lin would insult him, but Joe only nods and walks away. Which means progress, in Joe and Lin respecting Moxxie. Before the show ended you would like to know what happen to Striker, Don’t worry he is fine, well at a Motel six look alike. He is reporting to his client who, believe it or not was Stella. Yeah, thee Stella Princess of the gouesha, wife of stolas and mother to Octavia. Stella is not happy Striker failed to assassinate Stolas. Before hanging up she ends the conversation with “I want that lying, cheating prick dead!! I don’t care who you have to go through, make it happen!”

Oh shit

The funny thing is when she is saying all this she is in front of Stoles, he stops eating dinner and looks at her as if his facial expression says, “Excuses me, what!?…you bitch you trying to kill me?” It looks like Blitzo and I.M.P are going to have to step up their game. Time for Stoles to pay up to a lot of overtime.
