Vaggie wanted to talk to Charlie, but she took off with Alastor. Vaggie then walked out of the hotel by herself. With the three of them gone, Kara stayed behind to talk to the others in the lobby. "Lucifer, give me strength," Kara muttered to herself.

Kara came down to the lobby of the hotel just as Charlie, Alastor, and Vaggie left. Everyone looked at Kara for answers after seeing Charlie, Vaggie, and Alastor bolt out of the hotel. " So, uh, Alastor, Charlie, and Vags just left like they were runnin' away from their responsibilities. Should we be alarmed?" Angel asked.

"No. We have a plan, but it involves us defending the hotel and ourselves against the angels." Kara stated.

Husk jumped from the couch, "Are you fucking high?!" he shouted.

"Lass, that's a suicidal mission!" Monty exclaimed.

"They can be killed. Carmilla killed one last extermination. Vaggie's going to learn how we can win against them. Charlie and Alastor are gathering up an army." Kara explained.

"And we're supposed to defend the hotel by ourselves?" Andy asked.

"No." Kara answered, "We need allies. Lucky for us, we know a few that might help. I'll go round them up, you guys stay here and fortify the hotel."

"Are you insane?!" Monty exclaimed.

"Look guys, this hotel's about to become the most dangerous place in Hell, and Charlie and Vaggie can't guarantee your safety anymore. I still believe in her dream. I know this place can work but none of you signed up for this. But this is our chance to take a stand." Kara stated.

She then walked out of the hotel, leaving the others with a choice, to stay and defend the hotel or leave. A majority of them wanted to leave the hotel. However, something in Andy just bubbled up and told everyone they couldn't leave the hotel and Charlie. But no one was willing to listen to him. Except for Victoria, she had more confidence than normal after her smackdown with her sister. She wanted to stay and defend the hotel from the angels. Even though she was a demon, for the past year, this had become her home. She was willing to stay and save the hotel along with her friends.

Meanwhile, Kara was in the section of the city where the famous jazz club, Gin and Jazz was. Kara was going to recruit Aasha Kelly to help defend the hotel. She walked inside the club where Aasha was doing her performance. Once her performance was over, Kara went backstage to talk to Aasha. She found Aasha in her dressing room, wiping off her makeup. Aasha turned around to face Kara. "Hey K. What are you doing here? Princess's hotel got too boring?" Aasha asked.

"Ash, I need your help," Kara stated.

Aasha ensured the dressing room door was locked so no one could get in. "Speak." Aasha bluntly said.

"The exorcists are coming for the hotel first. Adam's going to kill every demon after he is done with us." Kara explained.

"Princess Charlie's a hellborn. Isn't there a law about angels not killing hellborn?" Aasha asked.

"Adam doesn't care. He's going to kill Charlie and everyone in the hotel. We have a plan but we need your help. Hell is our home and we need to take a stand against the angels." Kara stated with passion.

Aasha took a moment to think about Kara's offer; then she decided that she was willing to help, not for the idea of redemption but for the thrill of killing exorcists. Kara was willing to take Aasha's answer and offer to help. Kara then left the club and walked to her place only to grab her car and drive to Sir Pentious's place. When she arrived at Pentious's home, she parked her car and knocked on the door. The door was answered by one of Pentious's Egg Bois. "Oh. The Fox Lady!" the Egg Boi shouted.
