Charlie: Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud.

Charlie looks out the window to the burning city still recovering after the extermination from last week. Vaggie then comes into the room as KeeKee changes and scampers away.

Vaggie: Charlie?

Charlie: Aah! Oh, shit. Did you hear all that?

Vaggie: Uh, yeah. I was right there.

Charlie: Sorry. I get pre-tty worked up after an extermination happens. The story helps...

Vaggie*chuckles* I know. Don't worry, I enjoy your theatrics. Are you okay? *sits down with Charlie*

Charlie: I'm fine. Just... thinking, ya' know? Family stuff.

Vaggie: Did you hear from your mom yet?

Charlie shakes her head in dismay.

Vaggie: Oof... how long has it been now?

Charlie: Not that long, only...seven....years, off doing something important, I'm sure! But, this kingdom was something she really cared about. Something I care about.

Vaggie: Well, at least you aren't alone.

Charlie: I just hope what I'm trying to do here will work.

Vaggie: It will. I have faith in you.

KeeKee leaps into Charlie's lap while Vaggie stands up.

Vaggie: Alright, come on. Alastor says he has something to show us. *walks out the room*

We cut to static before the camera refocused on a sinner stabbing another sinner until Alastor from offscreen gets their attention.

Alastor: Well, hello there, you wayward Sinner! Do you like blood, violence, and depravity of a sexual nature? Of course you do, that's why you're in Hell! But what would you say if I told you there was a place to stay that had none of that? Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, a misguided path to redemption! Founded five days ago by Lucifer's delusional daughter, Charlotte Morningstar!

As he speaks, we cut to the front of the hotel to Charlie nervously smiling and waving while Angel puts up two fingers behind her head like bunny ears. As he continues to speak, we see images of Charlie being interviewed by Katie Killjoy, to her crying while facing away from her father, to her explaining her plan to a crowd of confused sinners.

Alastor: Come place your fate in her inexperienced hands, as she tries to work through her daddy issues by fixing you! Here we offer fun things, such as somewhat functional staff and 24-hour pest control. Custom rooms, and just look at this tacky parlor! Enjoy riveting conversation with our singular resident, simple meals cooked by our resident chef and janitor, and stay for what little entertainment we have in the form of music by our resident bachelor and musician. 

We see the footage show Husk who passes out from being drunk. Niffty rushes by trying to stab a bug before we cut to Angel. It cuts again to show Crystal icing a chocolate cake before kindly waving to the camera. We then cut to show Jesse rocking out before facing the camera with a wide smile and giving the devil horns hand gesture.

Alastor: Wow! All this, and more at the Hazbin Hotel! Your last desperate attempt at salvation starts here!

The commercial ends and Alastor turns off the TV before facing Charlie and Vaggie who were seated along with Crystal who had Lilac resting in her lap as she pets her and Jesse leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and Scales on his shoulder.
