Inside the meeting room of I.M.P. Headquarters, Blitzø, Moxxie and Millie flip through different channels on a small old-fashioned TV, until discovering a C.H.E.R.U.B. commercial.

Cletus: "Well, howdy! I'm Cletus! Welcome to Heaven! Guess you did somethin' good to get here, and good people deserve to give loved ones special blessin's!"

The Cherubs begin singing the C.H.E.R.U.B. jingle. Halfway through the song, the TV explodes once Blitzø shoots it with his flintlock pistol.

Millie: Nice one, B!

Y/n stands silently next to the door, smoking a cigarette. He then takes out his walkman.

"Did you know that watching television can be bad for your health? Watching television has been linked with obesity and heart disease, especially in the West-- (tape SFX) More people spend enormous amounts of time in front of the TV."

Blitzø: Well, in that case, gimme another, Mox.

Moxxie nervously sweeps away the flaming debris and puts another TV onto the stand.

While this happens, Loona is taking a nap with one foot up on the table that occasionally twitches in her sleep.

Moxxie then turns the television on with a scared look on his face. The 666 News logo appears. Blitzø pours gunpowder into his flintlock.

Blitzø: Eh, nah. Not feelin' it. Next!

Moxxie switches the channel. A demonically dressed Betty Boop appears in black and white, dancing erotically with prominent, bouncing breasts, holding a pitchfork. Moxxie flinches in anticipation. Blitzø and Millie look bored.

Blitzø: Uh-huh, keep going, keep going, keep going.

Moxxie switches to another channel and Wally Wackford appears on the screen dressed in white with a black top hat, holding a cane.

Wally: "I say, I say! Are you looking to get work making crazy contraptions and goofy gadgets? Well, call me at Wally Wackford's Wacky Idea "Factory"! Where you make the things and I make the money! (he then moves closer to the screen with a pleading look) Please! I'm very desperate!"

Blitzø: Bingo!

He shoots the TV and it explodes.

Millie: Woo! You're on a roll, sir!

"Bravo."

The snoring Loona is suddenly woken up by rumbling. A plastic cup with her name written on it and filled with water sits on the table next to her foot. She sits up and looks around. The rumbling knocks the cup over, spilling water.

Loona: Guys, do you feel that?

Blitzø: Oh, shit! Is that a hellshake?

Moxxie: That's possible?

Millie: Alright! Don't panic, Moxxie!

She holds onto Moxxie in an attempt to "calm" him down as his tail shoots up, startled by Millie's sudden outburst.
