In the Hazbin Hotel Charlie Morningstar the Princess of Hell was In her room and was reading the story of how entities called Angels made the universe. "Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of Pure light, Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for All of creation. But he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So, he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith, equals as the first of Mankind. But, despite this, Adam demanded control, and Lilith refused to submit to his will."

"She fled the Garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her, and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love. Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the Fruit of Knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream."

"But Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind with her voice and songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year, they would send down an army, an Extermination, to ensure Hell and its sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter, the Princess of Hell." As Charlie finishes reading, she closes a book titled "The Story of Hell" and looks out to Pentagram City. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud."

Charlie soberly looks out the window to Pentagram City burning to the ground, just as Vaggie and Joseph enter the room. Vaggie had been wearing a new pair of clothes that Joseph had got her which consisted of a blouse that is the same color as her bow and the "X" shape on her eyepatch, with a dark gray peter-pan collar, dark gray trimming on the sleeves, and two dark gray buttons down the front. She also sports a choker and a miniskirt with a thick pale pink waistband hugging her waist, both colored in the same dark gray. Her accessories Include a set of fingerless slate-gray opera gloves with matching thigh-high stockings, which include white scallops at the cuff and toes.

Vaggie looked at Charlie In concern. "Charlie?" The key Charlie is holding transforms into KeeKee who scampers away, and Charlie turns to Vaggie and Joseph In surprise. "Aah! Oh, shit. Did you hear all that?" Joseph looked at Charlie. We were right there, Mistress Morningstar." He points his thumb to the doorway. Charlie looked at the two. "Sorry. I get pre-tty worked up after an extermination happens. The story helps..." Vaggie chuckles a bit. "I know. Don't worry, I enjoy your theatrics. Are you okay?" She sits down with Charlie. "I'm fine. Just... thinking, ya' know? Family stuff." 

Vaggie looks at Charlie. "Did you hear from your mom yet?" Charlie shakes her head in dismay. "Oof... how long has it been now?" Charlie looks at Vaggie. "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 looked at Charlie comfortably. "Well, at least you aren't alone." Charlie looked at her. "I just hope what I'm trying to do here will work." Joseph gave Charlie a kind smile and pat on her shoulder. "It will, Mistress Morningstar. We have faith in you." KeeKee leaps Into Charlie's arms as Vaggie stands up.

"Alright, come on. Alastor says he has something to show us." She and Joseph walk out the room As they leave, a loud bell rings throughout the city, and Charlie turns to the Bell Tower at Heaven Embassy. She looks on with sadness, knowing that it's another year before the Extermination comes again. In the Living room of the hotel on a TV revealing a sinner stabbing another demon to death with a knife before Alastor caught their attention. As the camera rolls, scenes switches from the front of the Hazbin Hotel, to Charlie on camera and she waves at it before Angel Dust comes into view, putting two-fingers over the head prank behind her, to Charlie's interview with Katie Killjoy, then a picture of her crying as she faces away from her father who was in the opposite direction under a spotlight, then her showing her plan via poster to a confused crowd, to the bartender, Husk, who was clearly drunk, passing out on the ground as Niffty, the hotel maid, tries to stab and chase after a bug, and then to Angel Dust, with a support beam falling close to KeeKee, scaring the demon cat before running off, and Angel Dust flipping Alastor off, and then the poor drawing of the hotel before the commercial ends.
