Blitzo (pronounced "Blitz") (voiced by Rogers), an imp, leads an assassination company in Hell alongside his team: his adopted hellhound daughter Loona (voiced by Erica Lindbeck) and a married couple, Moxxie (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz) and Millie (voiced by Lindbeck). They cater to clients from Hell seeking murders on Earth, strategizing ways to expand their clientele while reflecting on past missions. A mishap occurs when Moxxie mistakenly targets a young boy, injuring him, which prompts a heated debate among the group. Issues within the company surface, including Loona's detachment from her job and Blitzo's stalking of Moxxie and Millie outside work. Additionally, their portal to Earth stems from a grimoire stolen from Stolas (voiced by Brock Baker), a demon, after Blitzo's brief affair with him. The episode concludes with Loona confirming the boy as the correct target after all, which leads Blitzo to shoot him. Despite their differences, the team reconciles while disposing of the body. Musical numbers : "I.M.P Jingle" and "Oh Millie" (end credits) Note : As of November 2023, the pilot is no longer "functionally canon" to the rest of the series.[13] | ||||
