     General 
  • The whole premise of the show is to challenge the idea that demons are forever doomed to live in Hell. That these damned souls can still be redeemed, even after they have died.
  • Charlie Morningstar is just the biggest sweetie in all of Hell, a stark contrast to the rest of her subjects who are very foul-mouthed, violent, and/or deplorable. She sees the good in her fellow demons and wishes to save them from terrible slaughter brought on by Heaven's angels by having them ascend there. Even when very few people believe in her cause and is constantly experiencing opposition, that doesn't stop her from trying.
  • The loving, supportive, and wholesome relationship between the show's main Official Couple - Charlie and Vaggie. They are in a stable, loving romance while also being equal partners for the Hotel. Vaggie is a skeptic but wholeheartedly supports and defends Charlie's dream; and while Charlie can often be whimsical, she is greatly grateful over Vaggie's endless support. They are couple goals.

Web series

    Pilot 
  • Even though she was born in Hell, Charlie believes that everyone has some goodness in them, thus, everyone has a chance at redemption.
  • The sheer loyalty and admiration the Egg Bois have for their master could be seen as this... even if it's not returned.
  • Angel Dust and Cherri seem to have a genuine friendship with each other; though Angel can't quite comprehend good just yet, he considers his friendship with Cherri to be his redeeming quality, even directly referring to her as a friend and "girl buddy".
  • Upon seeing one of the Egg Bois with a gun, Angel pushes Cherri out of harm's way.
  • After learning that Angel has been trying to get rehabilitated, Cherri asks if the fight will get him in trouble. Cherri also doesn't mock him for trying even as he makes fun of the idea himself, meaning Cherri is just happy he's alive and away from Valentino.
  • Despite having a ton of doubt on Charlie's idea of a hotel to rehabilitate sinners, Vaggie is still supportive of her girlfriend, even going as far as to be violent to those who shame Charlie, or can possibly bring harm to anyone at the hotel.
    • For example, reassuring Charlie before the interview and trying to keep her focused. It's clear from the conversation that they love each other very much.
    • She's even willing to stand up to Alastor, despite knowing exactly how dangerous he is.
    • It's easy to miss, but Vaggie is frowning or snarling almost the entire episode. When are the only times she actually smiles? When she's near Charlie.
  • Sir Pentious's wistful "Son???" is surprisingly adorable despite it being a response to Angel Dust's "Harder, Daddy." Since the fact that it was an innuendo seemed to completely fly over his head, there's also the possible implication that Sir Pentious actually had a son whom he honestly loved at some point, or had a relationship with a woman that could have produced such a son, or didn't, but just immediately and completely accepts that this stranger calling him "daddy" is somehow his son.
  • After Charlie slumps in defeat at the hotel, Angel Dust actually seems genuinely concerned and regretful about his actions that didn't help Charlie's case that the hotel could work at all. Granted, he doesn't really comfort her beyond hesitatingly extending his hand to her, and it doesn't seem to last, but at least he seems remorseful for as brief as it is.
  • When Sir Pentious aims his cannon at the group, Vaggie immediately jumps in front of Charlie completely unaware that Alastor was going to handle Pentious himself, meaning she was fully ready to take the attack herself for Charlie's sake.
  • Alastor is apparently quite fond of his mother, praising her cooking skills as he offers to make some jambalaya for the rest of the Hotel crew at the end of the pilot.
    • The fact that Vaggie is with the others when Alastor offers jambalaya shows just how polite he can be and also showing a softer side as well.
    • He refers to Niffty as "this little darling", which is admittedly a cute way of introducing her.
    • Though he got shoved and sweared at by Husk, he does not do anything to threaten him, he instead offers him a alcohol bottle which shows just how reasonable Alastor can be unlike some demons in Hell.
    • Alastor got the door shut on him twice by Charlie while saying "Hello" to her, but instead of breaking through the doors, he waits for her to open them again, which is when he asks her if he may speak now. She replies that he may, so he continues greeting her, which shows that Alastor can be patient with people and will give them a chance before doing anything. Even when his offer for a "deal" is denied and Charlie orders him to work "for as long as you desire", he's unbothered by not getting anything out of this beyond potential entertainment.
    • Also, despite his... less than sincere reasons for helping, Alastor is true to his word, and his contributions are legitimate help that the Hotel desperately needs. He gets the place cleaned and repaired, brings in extra staff, and basically provides the backing the place is going to need to have any chance of working—with no Literal Genie traps, and without having trapped anybody into a deal.
      • During his reprise of "Inside of Every Demon", he calls Charlie a "charming demon belle" and actually says "I'm sure your plan is sound."
      • While a rather minor case, the fact that Alastor watched Charlie's musical with some interest, despite his stance against new technologies implies that he at the very least appreciates her fondness for music. Given that he apparently took the time to create his own twisted version (that while insulting Charlie's dream, praised Charlie herself), this may not be too far fetched.

    Addict 
  • During Angel's dance scene, we get flashes of Cherri trying to comfort him in his room.
  • A bit of a Rewatch Bonus, but in the video, one of the first things we see Cherri destroying is a billboard with Valentino (Angel's abusive boss)'s face on it. Clearly she had Angel in mind when she did that.
  • And in some Fridge Brilliance, the video makes it seem that Cherri was actually freeing Angel from Val's clutches while simultaneously wreaking havoc on the pimp's properties - which is likely the "solid" that Angel owed her during the pilot. (Possibly. The place they destroy looks to be one of Val's clubs, not the Studio, and going by the text messages, Angel is still working for Val at the start of the pilot.)
  • After the credits, Charlie tries to comfort Angel. While he does brush her off, it was still nice of her to try.
    • Despite the earlier denial of Charlie's comfort, the last line of the video has Angel consider that helping with the hotel might not be a bad idea.
  • At the end of the "Addict" music video, Angel's pet pig, Fat Nuggets, nuzzles him, making him smile

    Dirty Healings 

    A Day in the After Life 
  • Believe it or not, Alastor does get a few moments of this...though, of course, this being Alastor, such moments come mixed with Nightmare Fuel or him being a troll.
    • He takes a moment to feed some demonic crows while visiting a cafe (though this is implied to be the reason they harass the waiter as Alastor's walking away).
    • He takes the opportunity to offer a cheerful hello to some she-demons while walking through Cannibal Colony...and unlike most of the demons he's interacted with up to this point, their reaction is to giggle and wave back, clearly smitten with him. As terrifying as the Radio Demon is, he's apparently charismatic enough to have some in-universe fans, as well.
      • ...Which, being Alastor, he takes advantage of by tossing his hat to one of the ladies, thereby getting the others jealous and riled up.
    • While walking past a saxophone player, Alastor takes a moment to tip him...and, once again, we get a rare case of someone not running from Alastor; the musician keeps on playing.
    • If his monologue to the butcher is any indication, Alastor likes to give business to any meat shop that happens to open up.
    • The big one, however, comes when Alastor's walking out just as another customer - a pretty sheep demon - happens to walk in. As the butcher boar goes after his new prey, we see Alastor pull to a complete stop as he hears the sheep girl cry out for help, and butcher's implied intentions become clear. Alastor never loses his Slasher Smile, but the way his eyes widen - and then darken - make it clear that he does not approve.
    • His dialogue ("You know, I do really hate those who can't show a little more respect to those of fairer means.") implies, if not outright states, that Alastor does in fact have a moral compass. Specifically, he will not target those that he knows for a fact can't defend themselves, and has nothing but disdain for those that do so.
    • As Alastor is first leaving the shop, he cordially greets the sheep demon, even holding the door for her, and she doesn't show even a hint of fear at seeing him. Given the fact that every other demon Alastor interacted with so far ran for the hills at the mere sight of him, it's rather refreshing to see someone who isn't scared of him.

    Misc 
  • This official art shows Charlie kissing Vaggie under a mistletoe held by Angel Dust, of all people. It's also one of the only moments when we can see Vaggie or Angel Dust genuinely smiling.
    • In the same picture, Niffty is pretty clearly sitting on Alastor's lap. The size of his Slasher Smile implies it bothers him, considering Alastor Hates Being Touched, but he like Niffty enough to let her do it anyway because it makes her happy.
    • Also, Husk is seen giving Alastor this suspicious look, almost like he's checking to make sure Alastor isn't going to do anything to Niffty.
  • The Instagram accounts sometimes provide examples of this - from Angel and Cherri hanging out and complimenting each other's outfits on the regular, to Husk helping Niffty to clean or bringing Angel lunch at the studio, to members of the hotel pet-sitting or playing with Fat Nuggets. Even the three Overlords seem to enjoy each other's company every once in a while.
    • Based off the Instagram interactions, Niffty is everyone's Morality Pet. From Husk making an Instagram account solely to please her, to Angel constantly praising her posts and being affectionate. Even Alastor showers her with affection by giving her new clothes.
  • On one post of Niffty's Instagram account as she is getting rid of rats, she states that Alastor gave her some new clothes, which she is seen wearing in the picture. Which shows a hint of the Radio Demon's softer side.
    • It's not just Alastor who appears to have a big soft spot for Niffty - Husk replies on the post by encouragingly telling her to keep the rats out of his bar, and Angel also commented on the picture, calling Niffty "baby girl". Aww!
  • Back when the Hellaverse Insta blogs were canon, Charlie gifted Vaggie a phone; and on the back, the case reads: "🍎 of my 👁".
  • A fan-animation by Daria Cohen has Alastor singing a song about how to tie a noose and practical uses for them - but also tells the audience they should not use them to hang themselves, apparently sincerely, which Viv declared canon.
  • Despite having been re-cast, upon the release of the full show, several cast members of the pilot came together to release one more song.

Season 1

    Season 1 Trailer 
  • There's a quick moment of Charlie looking genuinely happy...in a musical number with Alastor and Rosie of all demons.

    General 
  • The opening logo for the show is this. Eagle-eyed viewers have picked up on how the logo has some symbol for each of the Hazbin crew - Apple for Charlie, antlers for Alastor, spear for Vaggie, webs for Angel Dust, playing cards for Husk, gears for Sir Pentious, and a needle for Niffty.
    • Alternateively, if the spear doesn't symbolize Vaggie, there's another one - the "x" inside the apple symbol; and who does the apple represent, again? Her girlfriend, partner, and best friend, Charlie. Even in the show's opening logo, the couple are together.

    Overture 
  • Charlie's telling of the founding of Hell is both this and a Tear Jerker. Lucifer, contrary to what most other sources (possibly even in-universe) claim, was a dreamer who truly wanted to help humanity by giving them free will and fell in love with Lilith for her independence. When he and Lilith were banished, Lucifer lost his will to dream, but Lilith brought hope to the people of Hell until her disappearance seven years prior to the story.
  • Vaggie trying her hardest to make a good commercial for the Hotel, even accepting Alastor's help in the endeavor.
    • In stark contrast from the pilot, Vaggie is way more amiable and friendly with the Hazbin crew, even Alastor to an extent.
    • During her recording with Niffty, Vaggie gently instructs the former on what to do. The moment is similar to a mellow, big sister mentoring her very hyper, little sister. When Niffty fails to speak her line, but still excitedly asks if she did well, Vaggie gently encourages her to do another take. It doesn't turn out much better, but she's excited to try again.
  • Lute viciously mentions how, if not for Lucifer's intervention, Charlie would also be on the Exorcist's kill list. In hindsight, it's clear foreshadowing that he really does care for his daughter.
    • He also negotiated this for the other Hellborn denizens, which is presumably why Imps and Hellhounds have no concerns about the exterminations. A good sign that he cares more about his people than he leads on.

    Radio Killed the Video Star 
  • While it's played for laughs, Charlie's silly little "rhyming game" in the hopes of having everyone getting to know each other has a heartwarming background event with Vaggie smiling fondly throughout the whole thing. Seeing her girlfriend happy is clearly making her happy too.
  • During the song "Stayed Gone", even if it was to trigger Vox, Alastor claimed he would be nothing without his associates Valentino and Velvette, and the camera show them listening to the song and they clearly seem flattered by Alastor's comment.
  • When Sir Pentious, who was acting as The Mole to the Hotel, is rejected by Vox (who goes so far as to demand that he kill himself if Charlie doesn't do so herself), he's ready to give up and let Vaggie and Angel kill him. But Charlie, ever the kindhearted optimist, graciously accepts Sir Pentious into the Hotel for real, telling him that the first step to redemption is to give a genuine apology. The best part? Sir Pentious takes this to heart. Charlie's dream may be more achievable than it seems...
    Charlie and Sir Pentious: It'll take time to cover your/my vast multitude of sins
    But sorry is where it begins...

    Scrambled Eggs 
  • Sir Pentious, for as much of a Bad Boss as he is, genuinely seems to love his Egg Boiz and is heartbroken when Vaggie orders him to let go of them (though the Egg Bois themselves don't seem to mind). At the end, he's overjoyed when Vaggie gives him permission to keep them again.
  • There's something cute about the Egg Boiz running after Charlie's cat, no doubt with the intention to pet it.
    • The scene where Sir Pentious goes to sleep with his eggs surrounding him can also be considered this.
  • Alastor is mostly decent towards the Egg Boiz. Though he does use one of them as a spy for Carmilla and Zestial. And after they prove useful to him, he decides to spare them and bring them back to the hotel.
  • Alastor seemingly shows genuine respect to Zestial when they're talking on the street.
  • "Whatever It Takes", a Distant Duet between Carmilla and Vaggie, that focuses on how far they're willing to go to protect those they care for — for Carmilla, it's her daughters and for Vaggie, it's Charlie.
  • Angel Dust, despite wanting to kill Sir Pentious last episode, goes out of his way to save him during Vaggie's trust exercise.
  • Vaggie thinks her "trust exercise" (having Angel Dust, Sir Pentious, Husk, and Niffty all fight and protect one another in a violent war zone of Hell) is a total failure, but she later sees the four of them laughing with each other and having a good time recounting their experiences fighting. She may be a little rough, but Vaggie can help redeem people, even if she doubts her own abilities.
    • Husk says Sir Pentious did pretty well during the fighting, and you can tell the snake-themed sinner really appreciates it, feeling more and more like he's part of the Hazbin Hotel family.
  • After Carmilla abruptly ends the meeting of the Overlords and storms into her private quarters, Zestial follows her and asks if she is okay.
    • When Velvette goes from posturing to outright insulting Zestial, Carmilla has none of it and makes sure she knows that no one talks to him like that. Followed by the above example, the two of them seem to have a genuinely supportive friendship.
  • After Vaggie gets back to the Hotel, Charlie apologizes to her for putting too much pressure on her.

    Masquerade 
  • Angel obediently says "Yes, Valentino" to all of Valentino's demands... except one and that's getting Charlie out of the studio. Instead, he begs Valentino to let him handle it himself and specifically, not to hurt Charlie. No matter how much he might claim to the contrary, Angel does care about her.
  • Charlie is furious when she finally sees Valentino abusing Angel firsthand.
    Charlie: (going full-demon) What makes you think you can treat him like that!?
    • Keep in mind that Charlie doesn't have any context behind Angel and Valentino's relationship. She doesn't know about Angel's contract, she doesn't know about the sexual abuse, and she probably didn't hear the violence or threats that happened minutes prior in Angel's dressing room or even see the black eye on Angel's face yet. All she saw was Valentino roughly dragging Angel by the arm and then violently throwing him onto the set, which is actually fairly tame compared to everything else this bastard has done. And yet, that was all Charlie needed to see. She didn't ask questions, she didn't hesitate. She saw her friend being hurt, and she immediately jumped to his defense.
  • When Angel bumps into Vaggie while storming out, she's not irritated, but instead concerned and demands Husk to look after him so he doesn't get himself hurt.
  • Husk saving Angel from being date-raped at a bar.
  • "Loser, Baby", an uplifting melody where Angel and Husk bond over their mutual failures. The whole song is just "Stop thinking you're special". Some people may see that as a bad message (at first) considering what Angel goes through, but like him, staying in that mindset of "No one knows what I'm going through, no one else knows what it's like to be me, etc." would not be good for him at all as it would create a barrier of isolation. To be clear, the point is that Husk calls Angel a loser because people, especially very hurt people, need to break their cycle of self-loathing somehow. And sometimes, sometimes, people need to hear that they are, in fact, a loser. But that's okay because a lot of other people are too. This is even reflected in the song, with Angel initially assuming Husk is mocking him, but eventually picking up what he's actually saying. The message isn't "You're not special dickhead lmao," it's actually "You're not alone in this, and embracing that is a big step in getting out of it."
    • Angel's smile when Husk sings "Baby [being a dick-suckin' ho]'s fine by me". It's here that he realizes what Husk is getting at and joins the song in earnest.
    • Earlier in the episode, Husk complains about being surrounded by the others but his line of "let hope in" hints that despite his outwardly crass attitude, Husk has been influenced by Charlie's actions and takes her beliefs to make them in his own way to form a connection with Angel Dust.
  • Charlie and Angel Dust making up after their feud back at Val's studio. It's all the cuter when Charlie hugs him and Angel, rather than pushing her away, pats her on the head. The fact he refers to her by name when in Overture he casually called her "That bitch" is itself touching.
    Angel Dust: Charlie, it's fine. I get it. Thanks... for carin' about me.
  • Charlie's tearful reaction to being forgiven has one foot here... and the other in Funny, given how limp she goes as Angel Dust picks her up.
    • Also Vaggie's fond expression as she's getting Charlie handed off to her, very much like a loving mom being amused at her child's antics. The "Let's get you to bed" seals it.

    Dad Beat Dad 
  • It's subtle but when Vaggie wakes up in her and Charlie's bed, she's facing to the side where Charlie would most likely be. This means that the couple sleep facing one another.
  • Vaggie holding Charlie's hand for support when the latter is having a tense, awkward phone call with Lucifer.
    • And there are two possibilities in Vaggie's response to holding Charlie's hand - First, it was Charlie doing this naturally and Vaggie offering her support because she wanted to ease her girlfriend's distress; Second, Charlie deliberately held out her hand, correctly guessing that Vaggie would hold her hand. Either way, it's a quiet but still profound way to show the deep love between the two women.
    • During Charlie's phone call to Lucifer, when she describes the hotel as 'the most important thing I've ever done', a quick shot of Angel shows him with a soft smile, seemingly touched by the implication of that statement.
    • Angel, Sir Pentious, and Husk all giving sympathetic glances towards Charlie during her tense call with her father.
  • In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Charlie has each of Sir Pentious' Egg Bois listed in her phone contacts.
  • The screensaver for Lucifer's phone is a screenshot of a younger Charlie.
  • Lucifer's reaction to Charlie inviting him to the hotel. It just goes without saying how much he loves his daughter and how the two are more alike than first let on to be.
    (sing-song) MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO SEE MEEEEEEE! (to a duck) Take THAT, depression!
  • Even though Lucifer is currently estranged from his wife he still wears his wedding ring and has large framed portraits of his family on the wall of his office.
  • Charlie introducing her father to her girlfriend. This is the first he hears of her being bisexual and he not only accepts it without question, but he also uses it to try and make a Commonality Connection, in his Bumbling Dad way.
    • And when Charlie is introducing Vaggie, the former is holding onto her girlfriend with a warm smile on her face.
      • Also, the fact that when Lucifer asks to meet Charlie's other friends besides Alastor, the Princess immediately goes to introduce her girlfriend first.
    • Although he gets her name wrong, Lucifer enthusiastically welcomes Vaggie and even gives her a Bear Hug while calling her pretty. And Vaggie, while a little awkward herself, states it's a pleasure to meet him and respectfully addresses him as "sir".
      • In the Hindi version, Vaggie's line is, "Thank you Sasurji- uh, Sirji". And what is the translation? "Thank you, father-in-law- uh, Sir."
    • With The Reveal in “Welcome to Heaven” that Vaggie is also a Fallen Angel, Lucifer would be very happy to meet another angel who “screwed up”, and they’re his daughter’s lover no less.
  • Though his sincerity is very debatable as it's primarily to irritate Lucifer, Alastor being overly affectionate towards Charlie is still pretty adorable to watch.
  • Lucifer implicitly being proven wrong about Sinners being Always Chaotic Evil and unwilling to change, when Sir Pentious grabs Niffty and pulls her out of the way of some falling debris caused by the Loan Sharks attacking the Hotel.
    • And before Sir Pentious, Angel pulls Niffty away from fire.
    • Notably, none of the residents besides Alastor attempt to fight the group outside, prioritizing the safety of the others over retaliation.
  • While it's at Charlie's expense, Angel Dust and Husk sharing popcorn shows that they're closer than they used to be.
  • Alastor seems genuinely pleased to see Mimzy when she first shows up and goes to her with open arms for a hug - one of the few times we've seen him offer affection without also trying to one-up or irritate someone. Of course, this also makes the later scene where he tells her to leave the hotel after the Loan Sharks attack, even sadder to watch given how he basically had to banish one of his closest friends.
    • Compounding this is that he did listen to Husk's advice about Mimzy being All Take and No Give, and during the exchange, Alastor politely informs Mimzy that if she does intend to reform her ways, she'd be more than welcome to stay.
  • Charlie and Lucifer clearing the air with each other over how they wished they knew each other better, with Lucifer promising to support his daughter, even if he knew it was a long shot. Hearing her sing so sincerely about her passion to save their people - which she clarifies was inspired by the stories he'd told her as a child - brought tears to his eyes, no doubt vividly reminding him of how he used to be.
    Charlie: So in the end, it's the view I had of you / That showed me that dreams can be worth fighting for.
    • They finish off with a particularly heartwarming duet line.
      Charlie and Lucifer: I'm grateful you're my father/daughter more than anything!
    • The lines when they come together can easily bring one to tears.
    Lucifer: I've been dying to find out who you are.
    Charlie: I've been waiting, wanting the same thing.
    Lucifer: Looks like the apple doesn't fall far.
    Charlie: Took you a while./Lucifer: I've missed that smile.
  • As Alastor tells Mimzy to leave the Hotel and calls her out for bringing danger to the establishment, he mentions that she is more welcome to stick around if she is legitimately willing to try redemption, showing that maybe, just maybe, he believes in Charlie's plan just a little. If nothing else, it shows how much he intends to honor his word. It's quite possible he is being protective of his new associates as well, but just does not want to admit it.
  • We get a flashback to Charlie's childhood, with Lucifer showing Charlie a project that he's been working on and telling her stories, and Charlie is clearly enthralled before Lilith takes her off to bed.
  • During Charlie and Lucifer's duet, we get a pan of the Hotel's other residents when Charlie makes it clear that they're the ones she's doing all of this for, and many of their expressions are this — Sir Pentious is moved to tears by the song and Vaggie, Niffty and even Alastor are all smiling fondly at her. And Alastor's notably isn't the kind of Slasher Smile he wears to appear strong, but a genuine one.
    Charlie: I need to save my people more than anything...
    • Subtle, but when Charlie goes to look at the others when singing this line, Vaggie is given more focus than the other residents. It serves as a visual reminder that while Charlie does genuinely care for the other Hotel occupants, it is Vaggie who has been her steadfast supporter and partner before anyone else.
  • After getting Lucifer to agree to set up an appointment with Heaven, Vaggie cautiously tells Charlie that the next part will be scary, and they need to be ready. Charlie immediately goes to hug her, as well as confidently state she'll be ready because Vaggie will be with her.

    Welcome to Heaven 
  • While Vaggie initially declined to go to Heaven with Charlie, the latter states that they are partners, and she needs her there. Despite her earlier resignations, Vaggie agrees, and Charlie responds with an enthusiastic hug and kiss to her girlfriend's cheek.
  • What triggered Lute to rip out Vaggie's eye and tear off her wings? She let a demon child go during an Extermination rather than kill them.
  • After Lute and Adam left Vaggie for dead, she managed to pull off her Exorcist uniform before stumbling over to a dumpster and collapsing, having clearly given up. But then, who should show up but Charlie, implicitly out helping people right after, or even during, the Extermination, who bandages her eye out of clear concern. You can clearly see that this is the moment where Vaggie started to fall for her.
    • Similarly, after bandaging up an injured Vaggie, Charlie gives a shy smile in the former's direction, implying that was the moment she started to develop feelings for her current girlfriend.
      • Just to reiterate from Charlie's gestures — she meets and rescues an injured (presumptive) Sinner, who has had her eye gouged out and looks very disheveled. And Charlie still finds her beautiful.
    • Outside of their first introduction, Charlie being out in the middle of or just after Extermination Day is sweet on its own. It implies she was looking to help any injured demons, subtly reinforcing her commitment to helping her people.
  • A Freeze-Frame Bonus shows that Angel's sister Molly actually wounded up in Heaven. While the bureaucracy is corrupt, Heaven itself seems like a fairly nice place to live, so it's heartwarming to see at least one member of his family managed to make it there. Plus, considering Angel is stated to come from a mob family, it would mean she either stayed out of the rest of her family's business or managed to turn her life around before she died.
    • Because Angel Dust is a guest at the Hazbin Hotel, which successfully manages to send Sir Pentious to Heaven, it's possible that Angel will redeem himself and get to spend the rest of his afterlife with his sister.
    • Molly's angelic form resembles Angel's demonic form. This could imply that, despite how different they ended up, the two were very close in life. It may also mean that Angel is much closer to redemption than anyone thought, as he bares little resemblance to the art we've seen of his father's and brother's demon selves.
  • Angel protecting Niffty when she's wasted, even standing up to Valentino for her sake. His actions even would've qualified him for Heaven under Adam's logic, if he wasn't full of crap.
  • When Charlie visits Heaven, she's excited by pretty much everything, but she's especially happy at the idea of going to a petting zoo where the animals are actually soft, wanting to see animals like Koalas.
  • Emily, a junior Seraphim, hits it off with Charlie right away. Furthermore, she stands up for her and her cause during the Court Case, pointing out that Angel is worthy of Heaven by the standards laid out and arguing that he and others like him should be given a chance. When she learns about the Extermination, she rightfully calls out Sera for it, and stands together with Charlie during their refutation of both Heaven’s hypocrisy and Adam and Lute’s prior assertions that “Hell Is Forever." When Charlie and Vaggie are banished back to Hell, Emily swears that she will find a way to help from her end.
  • Even when he's shown at a sex club drinking alcohol, Charlie never loses faith that Angel will make the right decisions. When Adam tries to argue that Angel doesn't belong in Heaven, Charlie earnestly and unhesitatingly defends him by pointing out that Angel had had a hard day and needed to unwind with his friends.
  • The characters at the club continue to bond with each other, with Sir Pentious exclaiming "It's so wonderful to have friends!".
  • When Angel Dust stands up to Valentino, Husk shows his support.
  • Cherri is happy to see Angel cleaning up his act in the hotel and wishes him the best of luck. When Angel asks for her to join, she politely refuses, stating that she's okay with her current lifestyle.
  • When Vaggie's secret of being an ex-Angel Exterminator is revealed, Charlie is stunned silent and even does a Dramatic Sit-Down after the revelation. Despite the reaction, Vaggie goes to immediately comfort her girlfriend. And she's still protectively holding onto Charlie before they are whisked back to Hell by Adam. And during this, Charlie never once bats aways Vaggie or gives her a Death Glare or disappointed look.
  • Apart from a small, understandable outburst of surprise when he realizes that she's Lucifer's daughter, St. Peter remains perfectly cordial with Charlie as he awkwardly tries to explain that he thinks there's been a mistake. Yet once the situation's been clarified for him, he accepts that he was mistaken instead - contrasting Adam and Lute, who claimed that "Angels don't make mistakes" - and doesn't hesitate to roll out the red carpet for the Princess of Hell.
  • During the trial, it's difficult to gage what the common angels in attendance are thinking, as most of them lack faces. Once the exterminations are revealed, we get a brief shot from the crowd's point of view, where you can clearly see the angels are horrified at what Adam, Lute and Sera have done.

    Hello Rosie 
  • Even after The Reveal that she is a Fallen Angel, and even when Charlie is staying alone in their room and is deeply in despair, Vaggie still clearly cares about Charlie and still believes in her, assuring the other hotel guests that Charlie will figure out a plan to save them from being slaughtered by the Exorcists.
  • Charlie runs to stop Vaggie from attacking Alastor with a worried expression on her face after the angel sees them making a deal. Even though she's upset with her right now, she still doesn't want to see her girlfriend potentially getting hurt.
    • Right before Charlie goes through with making her deal with Alastor, we see Razzle and Dazzle get ready to fight the Radio Demon, sensing that this deal is nothing but bad news. Charlie does make them stand down, but it's a nice reminder that they would do just about anything for her.
    • Even in their deal, Charlie refuses to hurt anyone for Alastor, another reminder of what an All-Loving Hero the princess of Hell really is.
  • In spite of getting the cold shoulder from Charlie, Vaggie goes along with the former (and Alastor's) plan to ask Carmilla Carmine for help.
    • It's subtle, but the fact that Vaggie has just learned there's a way to kill Exorcist Angels, she's initially surprised but doesn't hesitate to help find the answer to it.
    • In another subtle way, while Charlie tasking Vaggie with going to Carmilla Carmine to find out how to kill angels. Even though she just found out about her girlfriend's lie and is still angry about it, she still instinctively trusts her to help in a vital way to protect the Hotel and the people inside.
  • KeeKee curling up in Sir Pentious's lap, with his reaction being best described as astonished delight.
  • In her rant to Alastor, we see that Charlie is more upset by Vaggie lying to her about her past than said past as an Exorcist itself.
  • When Vaggie leaves to find out how angels can be killed, she tells Angel, Sir Pentious, Husk and Niffty that she knows they didn't sign up to be the first targets of the angels, so she wouldn't blame them if they left. Of course, when she and Charlie return, they find that all of them have stayed and fortified the hotel. They really have become True Companions.
  • Husk saying that he doesn't want to look for new drinking buddies and being nice to Angel and Pentious is a demonstration of the massive character development he's undergone over the course of the show. In the beginning, he was grouchy towards everyone and hated even being in the hotel, but now he's willing to risk his life to defend it and the other residents.
  • Charlie brings Vaggie a souvenir from Cannibal Town, and the two of them reconcile and begin preparations for the defense of the hotel, demonstrating how much they love and care for one another, how deep their relationship is, and how trusting and forgiving Charlie is towards Vaggie. Even better? When Vaggie sees it, she gets misty eyed and tackles her with a big warm hug, meaning she knows Charlie forgave her.
    • If one were to look closely, back when Charlie was in Rosie's shop, she found the mentioned souvenir and thought of Vaggie. Even when she was still hurt and angry at her girlfriend at that point, Charlie was still thinking of her.
    • Charlie complimenting Vaggie's wings when she first sees them.
  • We actually get to meet with Rosie, and she’s in the middle of consulting one of her people, where there’s a HUGE line up of others looking like they’re waiting to consult with her too! And like, even before she spoke with Charlie about her love life, she’s giving advice and comfort and support and connecting to the lady she’s speaking with who wants to eat her husband. Before saying that she’ll set the man straight if the lady sends him to her and gives her a card if she ever needs any more help.
    • Rosie, despite being a cannibal Overlord, is quite Affably Evil, to the point where when Charlie loses her temper in Cannibal Town, Rosie takes her aside to talk to her about her conflicted feelings and gives genuine advice.
    • Heck the first minute into seeing Rosie and you can IMMEDIATELY tell that this is the reason why everyone in Cannibal Town’s so chill and happy. Rosie is both the Overlord, the unofficial mayor, the therapist and consultant, and your best friend all wrapped up into one. She’s got an entire lineup of people who are waiting to tell her their woes and listen to her advice. Even Alastor is a good friend of hers!
  • Alastor willingly gives Charlie his microphone to sing as a means of winning the cannibals over. Given how the next episode reveals this is the source of his power, it shows how much he trusts Charlie if he's willing to let her hold it, even if it's only for a little while. He's also the one who casually drops into the song that winning means feasting on the angels' bodies, instantly winning a ton of the cannibals over. Also note during the song that when Rosie is delighted that Charlie's won the cannibals over, Alastor reveals he believed in her the whole time.
  • In a surprise dynamic, the scenes involving Carmilla Carmine and Vaggie.
    • We get a flashback of Carmilla killing the Exorcist, and it's made clear that she didn't know that she could kill it at the time but was willing to stand and fight against it anyway to give her daughters time to get away.
    • Carmilla, despite recognizing Vaggie as a former Exorcist, gives her some genuine advice on her fighting style, and tells her that she's going to need The Power of Love if she wants to win. Also, a (indirect) callback to their unknowingly shared duet "Whatever It Takes" in "Scrambled Eggs".
    • During the "Out for Love" song, Carmilla guides Vaggie on how to fight with the latter starting to catch on. And when they start to get in sync with one another, they both smile, implying the beginnings of a future friendship.
      • When Carmilla brings up thinking of someone Vaggie lives for, it's very clear that the latter is thinking about Charlie. And her eyes narrow in determination to complete her impromptu training lesson. Vaggie's love for Charlie is so strong, that she is able to regrow her wings.
      • Carmilla complimenting Vaggie's regrowing her angel wings, even stating that she and the Hotel might have a chance.
    • Carmilla's whole "Out for Love" song qualifies - You think that as an Iron Lady Overlord, she would believe that strength comes from domination and control. But that's not true in her case. Carmilla wholeheartedly and seriously believes that fighting for someone you love can achieve greatness. While not outright said, it wouldn't be surprising if this belief stems from her fierce and protective love for her daughters.
  • Upon learning that Vaggie is a Fallen Angel exorcist, it wouldn't be unexpected for the other Hazbin crew members to be wary of her. But are they? No. The worst they do is some teasing but no outright hatred. She's part of their True Companions.
  • Rosie, after learning about Charlie's problems with Vaggie, doesn't mock her or invalidate Charlie's emotions, instead helping the other girl work through her complicated emotions. Not only realizing that she's still madly in love with Vaggie, but also that Vaggie didn't tell Charlie she was a Fallen Angel not because she didn't trust her, but because it was something personally painful to admit, yet despite this, actions speak louder than words, and Vaggie has always stood by Charlie.
    • When Charlie begins to talk to Rosie about Vaggie, the princess refers to the Fallen Angel as her "girlfriend". Why is such a simple line so subtly sweet? In most forms of media, the whole "my girlfriend/boyfriend has been keeping a secret and I'm angry" situation has the angered lover making "I don't think we should be together" or "we should break up if I can't trust you" statements. In this case, Charlie's expressing a very justified hurt that Vaggie couldn't trust her when Charlie knows that she has proven herself to be incredibly understanding and open as a partner, but at no point does she say that she's lost trust in Vaggie. And while Charlie does give some curt words towards Vaggie, she never makes a comment about planning and/or wanting to break up with the latter. Even when she felt lied to, Charlie never thought of ending her romance with Vaggie. She still sends Vaggie to get them help from Carmilla, showing that in spite of everything, Vaggie will always be someone that Charlie trusts implicitly.
    • In a bittersweet way, Charlie's failed first attempt to persuade the Cannibal Town residents can qualify. Why? Charlie is still hurting from her confused feelings regarding Vaggie. Now, one can understand why this would be sad, but why would it be sweet (even if bittersweet)? Because it shows just how much Charlie loves Vaggie. The Princess is rightly stressed from the upcoming Extermination, has yet to convince the Cannibal residents to help her, and so forth; so, you think that she would be more nervous about that. But she isn't. Vaggie is her main concern; Charlie is stressed by impending battle but as long as she has Vaggie's support, she can handle it.
  • As "Ready For This" reaches its climax, we can see Susan giving Charlie a smile and a nod of approval, showing that she's won her over.

    The Show Must Go On 
  • Cherri Bomb joins the fight and says that she would never pass up a chance to fight alongside Angel Dust, demonstrating that she really does care for him and is willing to put her life on the line for a hotel that she has previously dismissed as a dumb idea.
  • As Alastor watches the hotel's staff celebrate what could be their last night alive, Niffty comes over to him and they agree that they enjoy the company of the staff. When Niffty puts a crown made of roaches on his head, Alastor is more amused than anything else, showing that Niffty is someone he genuinely views as a friend rather than a pawn to manipulate.
  • Charlie looks at the door to Angel Dust's room, which has three pictures on it. One is of his pet pig Fat Nuggets, another is of Angel with Husk, Pentious, and Niffty, and the third is Angel with Charlie.
  • On the night before the battle, Charlie and Vaggie singing the reprise of "More Than Anything" is the most explicit and beautiful expression of their relationship, as they tell each other of how much they care for and love each other and concludes with them kissing.
    • The reprise begins because Charlie is scared of the upcoming battle, fearing that they might lose, and she'll have watched her Found Family die for nothing. Vaggie immediately sings how much Charlie has given, lives she's changed, and souls she's touched because of her compassion. Vaggie then reminds how Charlie saved her when they first met and that even if they do lose, it was still worth it. A You Are Better Than You Think You Are romantic ballad at its finest.
    • Pay attention to Charlie's demeanor throughout the song - She starts off sullenly given her fears and worries but hearing Vaggie's words of encouragement, have her slowly break into a genuine smile.
    • As they are kissing, Charlie pulls Vaggie closer to her.
    • "There's something I've been dying to say" is an especially noteworthy line - Given how hectic, chaotic, and emotional the pass 6 months have been, it can be assumed that the couple haven't a real chance to calm down and be a couple. And while things are still as crazy and frightening as ever, they can at least have a quiet moment together to do thing they've each wanted to do for a long time - Confess how they both love each other more than anything.
    • In the Japanese version of the song, when they confess their love, they use the "Aishiteru" declaration of love - In Japanese culture, it's often used between spouses or those in a very committed relationship.
    • This post goes into descriptive detail on the beautiful and heartwarming musical love duet.
    • The French translation of the song is even more sweet, as pointed out here:
      • “More than anything” is translated as “Tu es tout pour moi” which directly translates to “You are everything for me” or “You are my everything”.
      • “Need you to know I love you more than anything” becomes “Je t’aime par-dessus tout et je ne veux que toi” which translates to “I love you above all and I only want you”.
    • In Italian, the line is, "Whatever happens, just know that/You are my everything".
  • Also, on the night before the battle, Angel takes Charlie's words to heart about living however you want that night since it may be your last. How does he choose to do it? By simply having a drink with Husk and Cherri Bomb. Husk even notes that he's changed quite a lot since he came to the Hotel.
  • Charlie and Vaggie acting as an adorable Battle Couple.
    • When fighting side-by-side against Exorcists, Charlie keeps apologizing for each hit she gives. But, when a group of them go after Vaggie? She conjures up a bigger explosion while screaming, "Die, motherfuckers!"
      • And after this moment, she gives a sheepish look to Vaggie while the latter is just amusingly baffled and/or impressed.
    • Even with Charlie getting distracted or apologizing for hurting the Exorcists, Vaggie just firmly tells her to not do that. All the while calling her cute nicknames.
    • A small moment, but when Charlie notices Vaggie running off to fight somewhere else, she immediately runs with her. No hesitation and no questions, just backing up her girlfriend.
  • During the battle, Charlie dons the same crown she wore in the flashback of "More Than Anything". This is the only time in the show she openly displays a symbol of her royalty. She knows she might not survive the battle, and she wants to die a Morningstar.
  • A small example, but at one point during the battle, Husk says "These angels won't stop coming!" to which Angel Dust laughs. Husk, rather than getting annoyed, just smiles and admits he walked right into that one.
  • Angel Dust saving one of the Egg Boiz from being killed. He even takes the time to ask if the "squirt" is okay and to get somewhere safe. And during their conversation, the Egg Boi adorably grabs onto Angel's leg for security. Without knowing it, Angel saved the last Egg Boi from total death.
  • Charlie flies into blind rage after Adam kills Sir Pentious and goes to attack him with the newly transformed Razzle and Dazzle. And Vaggie goes to assist her girlfriend without preamble.
    • And as observed here, Charlie's anger is quickly replaced with terror when Vaggie is attacked by Lute and quickly goes to help her before getting attacked by Adam.
    The fact that you can see all the rage leave Charlie’s body get replaced with fear as soon as Vaggie gets downed by Lute. She was gunning it for Adam but as soon as Vaggie got taken down she switched targets immediately.
  • When Adam questions why Charlie would risk her immortal life for Sinners, she makes it clear that she considers the Hotel members her family.
  • After the battle, the Hotel residents honor Sir Pentious's sacrifice by putting a portrait of him in the rebuilt one. Not to mention, the rebuilding montage shows off how far they've come and bonded.
    • And in his portrait, there's also him being surrounded by numerous Egg Boiz. Not only did the residents honor Pentious, but they also honored his Adorable Evil Minions.
    • When Sir Pentious is going to talk to Cherri, the others leave to give them space, and Charlie is briefly watching with hearts over her head before Vaggie pushes her away.
    • Pentious pouring his heart out to Cherri Bomb the night before the battle, admiring her as both a former rival and a fan of her "explosive" genius and hoping she doesn't die the next day. It doesn't seem to take at first, but after some friendly ribbing and a funny but solid "wingman" assist from Angel Dust ("...I hear he's got two dicks"), Cherri thinks about it again and gets an adorable little smile...
    • Right before his Heroic Sacrifice, Pentious gives Cherri a kiss and tells her to remember him, which she actually finds kind of hot. There's also the fact that he would make that Heroic Sacrifice at all, even if it failed to do any damage to Adam.
      • Crosses into funny territory when Cherri asks "Are you crazy?!" While holding a lit bomb. Sir Pentious only takes a beat to say "Yes!" causing her to create a romantic explosion as he kisses her before running off.
    • While Angel is technically the Hotel's first client, he was initially there just for the free rent and food. Sir Pentious was the hotel's first genuine client trying to repent, even if he initially also came for different reasons (i.e: screw them over for the Vees). So, it makes it all the more cathartic that he actually got into Heaven.
  • As Adam is preparing one to kill Charlie, there's a brief shot of Husk protectively putting himself in front of Angel and Cherri Bomb as a group of Exorcists advance upon them.
  • When things look bleak, Lucifer arrives and beats the shit out of Adam for trying to kill his daughter.
  • After his pummeling, Charlie asks her dad to stop and tells him that Adam had enough, with a look of concern on her face. Even after everything Adam has done, Charlie is willing to give him mercy.
  • Despite both being horrible people and his death being well-deserved, Adam gets one moment of decency when he lays dying after being backstabbed by Niffty and Lute rushes to his side, begging him in tears to stay with her; before he expires, he warmly smiles at her as if to reassure her things will be fine.
  • As Charlie orders Lute to leave with the surviving Exorcists, the former is protectively holding Vaggie.
    • There's some added sweetness to this scene - Prior to her order to Lute, Charlie was in her regular mode (as seen during Adam's Villainous Breakdown and Niffty killing him). But when confronting Lute, Charlie is in her demonic form - Horns, red eyes, and tail. All while holding onto Vaggie. The moment has two possibilities or a combination of both, but either way is couple goals:
      • For the first reasons, requires further context - Vaggie's Fallen Angel Dark and Troubled Past secret has been out for a month, so there's a possibility of her revealing what Lute did to her to Charlie. As such, Charlie's Death Glare and full demonic mode is her intense hatred towards Lute for harming Vaggie. She's making sure that her girlfriend is safe and that Lute knows she can't harm said girlfriend.
      • Another equal reason is that Lute has deliberately target Vaggie throughout the entire battle. Charlie quickly tried to help the latter but was interrupted by Adam. Now, that she's with Vaggie and is confronting the woman who has tried to murder the former, Charlie's making sure she's near in case Lute tries something.
  • The Hazbin crew are devastated at the death of Sir Pentious, with Angel giving a Due to the Dead moment for his fallen friend. And Charlie weeps with Vaggie comforting her.
  • After beating up Adam, Lucifer offers to cook the Hazbin group pancakes.
    • This shot shows two sweet details - Vaggie and Charlie holding hands; Angel supporting Cherri Bomb with his body.
  • Katie Killjoy of all people showing Charlie a semblance of respect while reporting on the whole thing, even if it's a bit backhanded.
    Katie: Anyway, congrats to Charlie and her crew for not being totally fucking useless for once!
  • As Katie Killjoy is making her news report, Carmilla listens in and, upon hearing that the group was successful, smiles a little.
  • Angel was looking through the rubble for Fat Nuggets. When he sees Fat Nuggets unharmed and safe, they both ran toward each other, and Angel happily hugs him in his arms.
  • Upon seeing the "Welcome" banner for Sir Pentious, Charlie blames herself for his death, believing it wouldn't have happened if she had done a better job convincing Heaven. Lucifer, joined by her friends, has none of that and assures her that she's changed things for the better. They then share a Group Hug and work on building the Hotel, better than ever before.
    • And the song that closes the episode, "Finale", is this in general when it focuses on Charlie's friends she's made over the season sticking by her side and helping her rebuild the Hotel, but special mention goes to Lucifer interrupting Charlie's lament with encouragement and turning the song into a Triumphant Reprise of "Happy Day in Hell", repeating his determination to support her dream whatever lies in store, and galvanizing her to not give up by reminding her of all she's accomplished in spite of what's happened.
      You can do this, now I know it! For your story has just begun!
      You can't quit now, hell, you owe it! There's still damage to be undone!
      You've changed my mind, you've touched their hearts, found the good in souls gone bad!
      The stage is wrecked, the crowd is gone, but by god, Charlie! The show, it must go on!
    • It should be noted that throughout the song, Cherri still stays by their sides and sings Charlie's praises. She might have only come for the fight at first... but be it Sir Pentious' sacrifice or Charlie's heart, or even just to help her best mate get a roof back over his head that isn't Valentino's, Cherri's sticking to them and helping see things through.
    • In the song, the group (including Lucifer and Cherri) affirm their newfound belief in Charlie's mission, determined to prove redemption is possible. Because none of them know that Sir Pentious was redeemed, this should be just as much an Impossible Task as it was in the pilot episode, but after all they been through, they're determined anyway.
  • Upon Alastor's return to the Hotel, the group, who had assumed he was dead, all give him a Group Hug. Even Vaggie, who hates Alastor, looks happy to see him. The only exception to the Group Hug is Lucifer, though Husk doesn't exactly look happy to see his boss either.
    • Husk made no secret of him being forced to work at the hotel against his will in Episode 1, but when he assumes Alastor is dead and he's free, he chooses to stay anyway.
    • When Charlie sees Alastor alive, she happily cries, "Al!"
  • Dazzle is given a monument at the front of the newly rebuilt Hotel. And in his dragon form, honoring his heroic death. In a blink-and-you-miss-it shot, Razzle is polishing the statue of his fallen sibling.
  • Near the end of the song, Charlie twirls Vaggie in a happily romantic fashion.
  • Sir Pentious is honored by the others with a memorial portrait, which they all salute in respect to their, as far as they know, fallen friend.
  • One of the notable new additions to the rebuilt hotel is an apple-shaped office tower for Lucifer, clearly indicating that he intends to have a more involved presence in his daughter's life from now on.
  • The way Velvette records Vox and Valentino happily dancing with each other, followed by all three of them huddling together and putting their arms around each other, is almost enough to make you ignore that they're a Big Bad Triumvirate making plans to take over Hell's new power vacuum.
  • Sir Pentious ascending to Heaven as a Winner, something Emily is clearly ecstatic about since it proves that Charlie was absolutely right; Sinners can be redeemed.
    • Similar to how Hell's residents appear in ways that reflect how they died, Sir Pentious has little kiss-like markings on his new hood, and his goggles have become heart-shaped, showing his last redeeming actions as a former sinner.
    • Note that, while most of the other clients stayed at the hotel against their will or for selfish reasons initially, Sir Pentious, though initially The Mole, chose to stay at the hotel simply because Charlie was kind to him. Even by 'Welcome to Heaven" he is not seen as the most proactive in rehabilitating himself, instead getting several seemingly innocuous moments of him bonding with Charlie and the others throughout the season. It makes Sir Pentious ascending and vindicating Charlie's practice all the more satisfying as it came simply from the Hotel being a supportive environment for him.
    • Emily's adorable gasp and the way her face lights up in delight are fabulous by themselves, but become a Crowning Moment of Funny when contrasted with Sera's shock.

    Other Media 
  • For Valentine's Day 2024, the official Twitter posted valentines with the characters. Most are jokes or puns, but the Charlie/Vaggie one is just cute. It has them an image of them looking lovingly into each other's eyes (taken from "More Than Anything (Reprise)") and reads, "I'd go to Hell & back for you".
    • Also heartwarming are Alastor being given a platonic card ("You're a deer friend") and the fact that Angel and Husk's cards complement each other by both ending in "baby" (Husk's saying "You're top shelf, baby" and Angel's saying "You cumplete me, baby" — and both of course hearken back to "Loser, Baby").
