Hazbin Hotel Journey Of The Sinners

Episode 5:Dad Beat Dad

The episode begins with being tied to a chair by a mobster, threatening to rape the information out of him if he doesn't tell him where the stash is. Angel tells him to "do [his] worst" before the Hellhound strips himself and starts "raping" him into submission.

The scene is revealed to be an amateur hardcore pornography movie shown by Angel for his part of Charlie's "Show and Tell" exercise. The other occupants are appalled that Angel is showing this, but Angel insists that it counts because it is his best work, winning him the Sex-x-xi award against "Tiffany Titfucker". and both find the showing to be painfully uncomfortable, to the point where Charlie shields her eyes; and are more annoyed that Angel is showing them a porn movie; and appear extremely morbidly interested, and doesn't seem fazed, calling Angel a fake for the movie's unrealistic interrogation scene and insulting Angel for the poorly written scripts. Angel is offended by this and responds by insulting him back. Husk goes on to say that he knows everyone's issues because everyone vents to the bartender, and lists off every resident's problems: Sir Pentious is insecure and lonely, Charlie wants to solve all problems except for her own, Vaggie hates everyone because she hates herself, same with Odin except he's violent, Blitzo likes watching residents sleep, Moxxie and Millie are too lovey dovey around everyone, Loona is a insecure loner who doesn't like talking to anyone, Niffty is sadistic, and Angel is fake. Just then, calls in for "emergency shoot" scene. Charlie tries to stop him from leaving because they need to finish the exercise and that is fast approaching, but Angel leaves because she cannot fix his problem with his boss, which gives Charlie an idea.

At the porn studios, Angel is working on a BDSM shoot involving burglars with a gangbang scene when Charlie arrives, much to Angel's shock and horror. He demands to know why she came to the studio, and she tells him that, as Princess of Hell, she has come to speak with his boss to get some time off for the hotel. He tries to make her leave, but Valentino notices her and invites her to have a role in his studio, but Charlie vehemently declines, and declares her wish to speak with him right after his work. This angers Valentino, who shoots a look toward Angel, but the shoot goes on. In the middle of the shoot, Charlie begins to try to invite some of the camera crew to the hotel, interrupting and further angering Valentino, and ends up causing a fire that destroys the set, before Valentino uses his moth wings to douse the fire.

Valentino takes Angel into his makeup room where he chews him out about having Charlie fight his battles for him, beating him and reminding him that he still owns him, showing the contract Angel signed where he sold his soul to him. Valentino threatens to harm Charlie unless Angel gets her out of his studio and out of his business.

Re-entering the set, Charlie notices Angel's bruise and becomes furious, partially revealing her demonic form, and threatening Valentino for his treatment of her friend. Valentino watches with a smirk as Angel steps in between them, stopping her. He yells at Charlie to get out of the studio, angrily telling her that he didn't ask her to come (looking over at Valentino as he says this) and to stop helping him because she's only making things worse. Despite Charlie's pleas and apologies, Angel forces her to leave, and Charlie breaks down crying before running out of the studio, to Val's smug satisfaction. Guilty, Angel .

Angel returns to the hotel, exhausted and miserable after a long night of work, and consults to the bar with Husk at the counter. He demands to have the hardest drink Husk could make, and Husk knows that Angel wants the one where he can forget the night. When he says Angel looks like shit, the spider demon contradicts and tries to flirt with him, but Husk irritably shoots him down. Husk calls him out for being fake again, and Angel throws a tantrum before storming out. Vaggie, and Charlie have Husk get Angel back safe because he's the one who started the argument, much to Husk's annoyance.

Husk finds Angel at the underground bar, drinking his miseries away with other loan shark gangsters. Husk gets himself a drink and sits to watch until he realizes that the loan sharks are spiking Angel's drinks with drugs from Valentino. He grabs Angel, fights with the loan sharks who were on Valentino's payroll, and drags Angel out. Husk accuses Angel once again of being fake and playing up an unnecessary persona and Angel states that it isn't him being fake nor is it unnecessary because it's what he needs to be in order to survive. Angel gets angry, telling Husk that between his workspace and the hotel, the bar is the only place he can escape to without the stress of dealing with both at the same time, and that he doesn't mind if he gets drugged, high, or commits to any other self-destructive behaviors because of the hope that if he becomes too broken to work, Valentino would finally become bored of him and thus let him go free.

Seeing Angel broken down, Husk reveals his past: he was a powerful , but the more power he obtained just by collecting and dealing with souls, the worse his gambling addiction became, and he lost it all, which made him desperate enough to gamble his own soul to an Overlord: . Husk knows what it's like to be trapped in the hands of a Overlord, and expresses this through a song: . As they finished singing, the loan sharks came out to get back at Husk, and a gunfight ensures between Angel and Husk and the loan shark mafia. Angel and Husk kill them all, with Angel feeling a lot better and Husk saying that he likes this version of Angel more than the persona.

Angel and Husk return to the hotel, with a frantic Charlie apologizing for ruining his day and getting him in trouble with Valentino; however, Angel dismisses it, having already forgiven her, and awkwardly thanks her 'for caring about me." Charlie bursts into tears about Angel forgiving her, saying "it's so beautiful" as Vaggie and Odin look on fondly and takes her away, and Husk invites Angel for a drink at the bar.
