Soon, the News 666 begins their news broadcast, with Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench.

Katie introduces, "Good evening. I'm Katie Killjoy!"

"And I'm-" Tom begins his introduction.

But, Katie Killjoy shoves Tom Trench out of his seat and out of the frame, "Nobody gives a shit who you are, Tom. Breaking news - Extermination day is canceled!"

A few demons, including Arackniss and Baxter are seen looking at a billboard which is playing the news report. The news report begins to play clips from the fight with the Exorcists.

Kattie announces, "Charlie Morningstar along with the mysterious Impish Mage managed to fend off the angelic attack with more than just nice words."

In Cannibal Town, Rosie watches the news report while sipping tea.

Meanwhile, in V Tower, Velvette watches the news on her phone.

As Katie continues, "In an unseen turn of events, our demonic head honcho Lucifer stepped in to save his daughter's ass in the last moment. Along with another unexpected one of the Ars Goetia Princes, Prince Stolas who managed to save the Impish mage at the last second.

Valentino comes over and briefly looks over her shoulder, before walking away to play the same news report on his television.

Katie also announces, "We're also hearing reports that Adam, leader of the angelic legions, first man and totally fuckable bad boy, has been slain by a filthy janitor."

From his surveillance room, Vox watches the news, which is now showing Niffty being interviewed, staring blankly at the camera.

Carmilla Carmine watches the news from her office, a small smile on her face.

Katie says, "The janitor said, quote, 'Charlie told me to stab, so I did'. Anyway, congrats to Charlie and her crew for not being totally fucking useless for once."

After the broadcast, it has been revealed that the Hazbin Hotel has been completely destroyed. Everyone begins digging through the rubble of the hotel Charlie runs through the hotel with Vaggie, looking anxiously around. She sees KeeKee lying in the rubble, and struggles to get up.

Charlie rushes over and picks her cat up, "Oh...there, there. It's...it's okay."

Charlie looks over and smiles briefly when she sees Angel and Fat Nuggets reuniting.

She then turns her head to another area to see Amber and Icy, the two fox demons glow and fuse back into one, returning to become Sophie. Then, she changed back to the small red fox and collapsed on the ground.

Aurora approaches her and picks Sophie up, "There there, Sophie. It's okay, girl."

Keenan walks to Loona as he picks her up. Then notices Stolas walking up as he places Blitz back down on his feet. They soon see a portal open and walking through it is Octavia with Tilla in her arms.

Tilla reaches out as she calls out, "Dada!"

Blitz reaches for her and hugs her in his arms and replies. Stolas and Octavia hug each other as well. Octavia is glad to see both Blitz and her father are okay. Aurora, Keenan, Loona, and Keenan approach and join a family hug, happy to have survived the Extermination.

Charlie looks around to see the rest of I.M.P help each other out in couples, or in Zak's case family as they comfort and are relieved that they're okay.

Charlie feels happy for many who have survived and are now safe. But as she begins to walk towards them, she stops when she steps on something. Charlie looks down to see the banner from Pentious first say which reads, 'Happy first week, Sir Pentious!'. Vaggie walks over to her. Charlie sings in sadness for Pentious death and noble sacrifice.
