Later, when Kitty is serving them drinks, Vox meets with Velvette and Valentino. They are in a shark-filled aquarium.

"We have a problem. Alastor is getting close to Little Princess Morningstar along with that human girl Damari. So our main concern now is ensuring that no deal is ever struck between Lucifer's brat and that smiling freak. We also need to make sure to keep him and Damari apart." Vox explained, pounding his fist on the table while holding his drink.

"Well, how exactly are we supposed to stop it?" Velvette asked.

"Put something inside them. That's how I get the bitches to behave." Valentino suggested, playing with his glue on the gun.

Vox thinks for a moment, liking Valentino's suggestion.

"Well maybe someone on the inside isn't such a bad idea. Do you think Angel would?"

Valentino sighs.

"That lanky prick won't even return my calls."

Vox places a drink down and stands up.

"We need someone who Little Miss Bleeding Heart would take in."

He walks past Velvette, who gets the idea.

"Someone pathetic, desperate, with no direct ties to us."

"I employ every down on their luck loser this side of Hell. Who the fuck is left?" Valentino asked.

Vox scoffs and grins nefariously and turns to his friends as his two pet sharks swims down on each side to make him look intimidating.

"I think I have just the one."

His left red eye spins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Angel is on the couch, glancing through his phone, the construction voodoo workers back at the Hazbin Hotel have nearly finished patching up the hole. Charlie and Vaggie returned with a gloomy expression. With a tired grunt, Charlie leaps onto the couch and lies down on her face.

"So how'd it go?" Angel asked.

Vaggie sighs and leans against the couch.

"Not a single new recruit."

"Yeah. Well, who would want to use their last days not fucking and fighting?"

Vaggie heard banging on the door and approached it cautiously. When she opened it, she sees Sir Pentious holding his hat with a nervous smile.

"Why, hello, my dear—"

She immediately punched him in the face, causing him to yell and hold his face in pain. She pulls out her spear and points it at his face. Sir Pentious immediately backs up and collapses on the ground, placing his hat back on.

"Wait, wait, wait! I come in peace." he said, bringing up his two peace signs.

"What are you doing here?" Vaggie demanded.

Charlie comes up to her.

"Vaggie, what's the problem?"

She later gasps to see him and smiles.

"Oh, hello again."

Sir Pentious gets up while Vaggie keeps her spear pointed at him.

"I didn't come looking for a fight. I uhh... I heard that you're helping people. People who want to be better?"

Charlie gasps and runs up to him up close, grasping his hands. This surprised him as he leaned back.

"You heard right. Welcome to our home of healing. Our resort of restoration. Our—"

Before she could take him inside, Angel is already in front of her and looked disbelief.

"Are you fucking nuts?! This chump was trying to kill us, like, literally six hours ago." he pointed out, making Sir Pentious let out a nervous smile. "And now you want to bring in here to live with us?"

"Absolutely! This place is about second chances. And who deserves one more than this..." Charlie stated, making Sir Pentious nod in agreement. "...slithery... slippery... special little man."

Angel looks over at Vaggie.

"Aren't you're supposed to protect this place?"

Charlie gives her girlfriend puppy eyes with puppy dog noises, making Vaggie sigh.

"I... guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine."

This made Sir Pentious smile until Vaggie finished her sentence.

"Or even with the war machine."

He deflated with a sigh, no longer smiling. Charlie immediately hugs her.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

She lets go of her and approaches Sir Pentious, taking his hands again.

"Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!"

"Oh, no darling, thank you. You won't regret this." Sir Pentious smiled.

The two head inside as Angel stood there for a moment, still looking suspicious.

"Eh, I give you a week tops."

When they're inside the hotel, Charlie starts her tour as she approaches the bar where Husk is in, who's drinking.

"So... this is the bar and the bartender." she introduced before moving to the curtain in the balcony above the bar. "This is the curtain, and this is the new wall after you broke the last one, heh, and, oh, this, this is—"

Before she could point out further, Vaggie grabs her hand and turns her around.

"Babe, you don't have to show him every detail." she lightly scolded.

"Sorry, I'm just so excited to have our first real guest!" Charlie said.

"Uh, what the hell am I then?" Angel asked, looking offended.

"Well, you're an important part of our family here, Angel. But you, um, uh..."

"Constantly make us look bad, sexually harass the staff, and have literally never once tried to improve?" Vaggie pointed out harshly.

"What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once." Charlie said, pointing to Sir Pentious, who's looking down at his watch and around the room suspiciously.

As she approached the snake demon, Angel gets sad and looks down.

"Over here we have our maid Niffty." Charlie introduced.

KeeKee was playing with Niffty when he discovered Sir Pentious. KeeKee hissed and bolted from the scene. Niffty gasped when she saw him.

"The bad boy is back."

She jumps up to him and grasps his collar.

"Never leave me again." she whispered creepily.

This made Sir Pentious sweatdrop nervously.

"We're about eighty percent sure she's harmless." Charlie nervously said, approaching the stairs. "And over here we have—"

"What the heck is he doing here, Charlie Morningstar?!"

She turned and gasped to see Alastor and Damari already standing at the end of the stairs.

"Oh, uh, Alastor, our gracious Facility Manager!"

Damari crossed her arms and gave him a scowl as Sir Pentious turned around and became nervous.

"You've met our newest guest, Sir Pentious... Heh heh..."

He waved at the two nervously as Alastor recognizes him.

"Ah, yes. You're the one who ruined my coat. I definitely remember you now." he said sinisterly at the end as his face darkened.

Sir Pentious gulped. Charlie immediately breaks the tension.

"Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson: "How to apologize". The first step to becoming a better person is to admit when you are wrong. Why don't you give it a try?"

She pushes Sir Pentious towards Alastor.

"Yes, um... Mr, um, Radio Demon, sir, please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat... Um, here..."

He hands him a piece of fabric of Alastor's coat.

"Oh-ho, not many people have been able to take even this much off me. It must have meant quite a lot to you." Alastor said before igniting a fabric on green fire as it burns.

With disbelief, Sir Pentious looks at it. Charlie looks at Damari right away, who is still wary.

"And you've met our human friend Damari! Our special human helping hand and a great designer!"

"Hey..." Damari greeted in a deadpan tone.

"H-Hi..." Sir Pentious waved.

"Look I know this is shocking, but—" Charlie started.

"He literally tried to kill us. Not to mention, he tried to kill me by squeezing me alive on my first day of Hell!" Damari pointed out, making him flinch. "Are you crazy?"

"Yes. He deserves a second chance."

"Don't you find him suspicious that he suddenly changed his attitude and maybe he could... I don't know, try to sabotage us?"

"Damari, I know you don't trust him, but... this is the first time someone actually needed help. Please? Just give him a shot."

Damari looks at Charlie, who gives her the same puppy eyes look. Afterwards, she turns to face Sir Pentious, who is twitching the collar of his coat uncomfortably.

"...Fine." Damari sighed in defeat.

"Yes! And Sir Pentious, what do you have to say to her?" Charlie said.

"Yes. Please forgive for attempting to kill you and I promise to be better." Sir Pentious apologized.

"...You're forgiven. But that doesn't mean I trust you." Damari said.

"Fair enough."

They're now in a parlor as KeeKee watches from above, purring.

"Now, with a new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other, so we are going to play a little game." Charlie said. "Everyone, follow me. My name is Charlie."

She claps.

"I like to sing."

She claps again as she starts dancing a bit.

"And when we get to know each other, it's the greatest thing."

She claps again and gestures to Sir Pentious to give it a try.

"My name's Sir Pentious."

He claps slowly.

"I like to build."

He claps again.

"And despite my stupid Egg Bois, I think I'm very skilled."

He claps again and points to Angel Dust along with Charlie. Angel looks up from his phone uninterested.

"This is stupid." he stated.

"This is not stupid!"

Charlie claps.

"It's just the game."

She claps again as she approaches Angel with a dance.

"Sir Pentious did it well, so now please try to do the same."

She claps once again. Angel pinches the bridge of his head.

"I am too sober for this."

"Well, get used to it and learn how to play. This is going to be your whole day." Vaggie said before clapping with a smirk.

Seeing that made Damari snicker.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With a deadpan tone, Angel read the script while dressed in a cloak and bloodied mafia outfit.

"Oh, I'm a bad man on the streets who never got enough hugs. Now, where's an innocent kid I can sell crack to?"

Sir Pentious is standing in front of him, looking like a little sailor, and he's licking the lollipop. Niffty is holding on behind Vaggie, Charlie, Alastor, Damari, and Husk while they watch this play from a couch or chair.

"Wow. Who wrote this?" Angel demanded, not liking the script he's reading.

"It's great, right? Keep going." Charlie said with a smile, revealing that she wrote it.

"Hey, you." Angel pointed to Sir Pentious.

"Who, me?" Sir Pentious asked rather cutely with puppy eyes.

"Yeah, you look like a kid who could use some... devil's dandruff? Oh, for fuck's sake."

"Not me. I have to go home and study."

"Come on, kid, it'll make you cool like me... the crack head."

"The only cool thing here is to say no to drugs. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not have sexual intercourse before marriage!" Sir Pentious said, finishing his lines.

Charlie stands up and cheers, clapping. Damari looks at her funny, thinking how old even is she.

"Yes! Oh, bravo, bravo!! Wow, Pentious, at this rate you'll be redeemed in no time."

Angel looks away, saddened and gripped onto the script. Noticing that, Damari gets concerned.

"I... I'm going to bed."

With that, he started walking upstairs as everyone gets out of the parlor. He glances back to see Charlie complimenting Sir Pentious with Vaggie, Alastor, and Damari behind her.

"I am so proud of you, Sir Pentious. That was amazing. That was beautiful work today!

"Thank you." Sir Pentious bowed. "You like me. You really like me!"

Angel frowns and climbs the steps. When she notices this, Damari quietly follows him. He threw a mafia coat across a sleeping pig in his chamber, and the pig got up and out of it. With a sigh, Angel lies down and takes out his phone to discover numerous voicemails from Valentino. He listens to the voicemail beeping as he scrolls down and taps on it.

"Angel, baby, come home. It's not the same without you here. I miss you, come back."

He goes to another voicemail.

"Angel, you bitch, if you don't come home, you will be fucking greasy truckers for the next year—"

Angel taps another voicemail.

"Hey, amorcito, I didn't mean to yell, but you know how crazy you make me f—"

"You fuckin' slut!"

"Hey, Angie, about earlier—"

"Kill your whole fucking fam—"

"Work's really stressful—"

"Little cocksucking piece of shit—"

Suddenly, Valentino's real voice echoed the room as red smoke comes out of his phone and circles around him above.

"You actually think you can change? Addict trash like you doesn't change. I'll see you soon, baby."

Before it vanishes, a crimson, smoking finger touches his chin. Angel looks down and notices that his pig is trying to console him because he appears anxious and depressed. He gives his head a soft touch.

"Sorry. Not now, Fat Nuggets."

As Fat Nuggets worries and oinks, Angel rolls out of bed to leave. He heard someone knock on his door, and when he opened it, Damari was there. It took him by surprise.

"Oh, hey, Damari. What are you doing here?"

"Just thought I'd check up on you. You okay?" Damari asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine... I'm just... gonna get some drink."

"But drinking isn't going to help. Maybe you wanna talk about it?"

"Sorry, Damari. I'm not in a mood."

She is passed by Angel. He heads to Husk's bar, sighing, and Damari follows him in order to drink down the vodka. And with a groan, he draws it away. A shadow figure passes them by quickly, turning them around before Damari has a chance to chastise him.

"Huh?"

They enter a corridor and discover that the door is ajar and the light is on. As they stealthily slip inside and peek through the open door, they discover Sir Pentious searching through the bookcase for something. However, they discovered a VokTek camera when he drew away. Damari and Angel were enraged by this and slammed the doors.

"You slippery little shit!"

Sir Pentious screams and backs up into the bookshelf.

"You're working for the Vees?" Angel asked.

"I knew there was something off about you since the moment you walked in here!" Damari sneered, walking up to him and poking at his chest.

Sir Pentious raises a hand to stop her from poking him and turns away.

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

When he turns back, he smirks.

"Little whore!"

Angry, Angel snarls and brings Sir Pentious down with a tackle before Damari can take any action. Damari's never been called a whore like that and this pissed Angel off. Sir Pentious takes a hit to the face from Angel, and the two tumble around while Angel grabs his throat. They battled to shove one another away.

"Get your aggressively average body off of me!"

Due to the fact that his bowtie, hat, and flares all have eyes, Sir Pentious hypnotizes Angel with them. In a hypnotic state, Angel pulls away from him.

"Fuck!"

"Angel!"

With a hiss, Sir Pentious crawls away, and Damari rushes to Angel's aid. Angel shakes his head to get himself back to reality and then glares at the snake demon. Sir Pentious cowers as the two come threateningly close to him. Charlie and Vaggie enter the room wearing pajamas and appear tired.

"What's going on?" Charlie yawned.

"This little bitch is a traitor!" Angel said, holding Sir Pentious' arm.

"And he's working for the Vees!" Damari added, holding his other arm.

Sir Pentious pulls his arms down out of their grasps and fake smiles at Charlie and Vaggie.

"Preposterous! I would never betray you. You... are my best friends!" he said, coming up to them and hugging them.

Angel and Damari doesn't fall for it.

"Uh-huh. Then explain this." Angel said.

Damari moves the book to the side to show them the VokTek camera. This alarmed both Charlie and Vaggie as they looked at the now panicked Sir Pentious. Sir Pentious screams and tries to run away by opening the window, but it was locked.

"Ah! Ah! Abort! Abort! S.O.S. Agent Pentious in need of immediate evacuation!!"he called, bringing up the watch.

The watch showed Vox talking to him.

"Pentious? ... Wait... You were caught?! It hasn't even been a day!" he laughed angrily.

"Please, you've got to get me out of here!"

"I can't believe we thought you could handle even something this simple. Do us a favor, if they don't kill you, go ahead and do it yourself, you miserable failure!!"

Vox then shuts him off from the watch. This made Sir Pentious teared up. Damari couldn't help but pity him.

"I... I... Just make it quick, I guess." he whimpered, removing the watch and tossing it to the ground before lying down. "Not that I deserve it."

Vaggie hold up her spear, ready to stab him.

"Gladly."

Charlie though stops her.

"Wait... Pentious?"

She holds up a hand to him, making Sir Pentious look up tearfully. Charlie starts singing.

https://youtu.be/RkXqkzLoRdQ

It starts with sorry
That's your foot in the door
One simple sorry

She helps him up and places a hand on his chest, making him look at her in shock.

Spoken straight from your core
The path to forgiveness

She creates a pink sparkly path as she dances through it with hearts coming out from it before it disappears once she's on the end of the path.

Is a twisting trail of hearts
But sorry is where it starts

Sir Pentious starts singing as he keeps crying.

Who could forgive a dirtbag like me?
I don't deserve your amnesty

As Sir Pentious lies back down on the floor, Angel and Vaggie glares and holds up their weapons and towers over him.

Can't we just kill him?
Shoot him and spill his blood?

Charlie nervously smiles while Damari looks concerned.

That's an option you could choose

Works for us!

Charlie gets in between them to stop them from killing Sir Pentious while Damari watches.

But who hasn't been in his shoes?
It starts with sorry!

Charlie takes his hand and starts dancing with him.

Sorry

Dig down deeper and say
One sincere sorry

Sir Pentious falls into Damari's arms, surprising her.

I'm so sorry!

And your journey's underway!

Charlie and Sir Pentious spin each other around as they danced. They're in Sir Pentious' memories of all the bad deeds he did. Fireworks shoots at them with the word "SORRY".

It'll take time to cover
(Sir Pentious: My vast multitude of sins)
(Charlie: Your vast multitude of sins)
But sorry is where it begins
It starts with sorry

As soon as they finished singing, Niffty appears to them with a frown.

"I hated that song! Why are you so lame? Not a bad boy." she whined, kicking his tail before walking away.

Sir Pentious curls and holds his tail in pain with a hiss. Charlie places her hands on her hips with a happy sigh.

"Good first day. Let's get some rest."

Together with Angel, she and Vaggie return to their room to sleep. Damari takes Sir Pentious's arm and forces him to face her before he can leave.

"Don't ever think that forgiveness comes easily to you. I don't forgive you, even though they may have. I'm watching you, so you better not screw this up or I'll make sure you regret ever entering the hotel that we put a lot of effort into. Understand?" Damari glared, her eyes bright crimson.

With a brief slide away, Sir Pentious nods and takes a quick gulp before she releases him. Glaring, Damari turns to face the watch on the floor. She approaches it without realizing that Alastor is observing her from behind the shadows. In order to see Vox, Damari takes up the watch and turns it on. Vox turns around, looking unhappy to be called.

"What?!"

His eyes widens to see her and smirks.

"Well, hello, Damari. Nice to see you and your true face again."

Damari glares.

"Cut the nice act, Vox. You knew I was a human this whole time."

"Since the moment I've seen you on breaking news."

"...Creepy. But that's not why I wanted to talk to you. I'm here to warn you."

"Ohh! I'm so scared!" Vox said in a fake scared tone, a hand placed in his forehead. Which only made Damari glare harder.

"You should be. Because you're on thin ice and you stay away from my friends. You don't know how hard we worked on to save those sinners from extermination. If you mess with my friends, you mess with me!"

Her eyes glows red once again, shocking him.

"And I swear to God, you do not want to mess with me! Do you understand me?"

Before Vox could say anything, Alastor appears next to her and takes the watch from her.

"I'll take care of that, my dear."

"Alastor." Damari said, looking surprised.

Vox's face looks shocked to see him and gets angry as Alastor smiles at him.

"You'll have to try harder than that next time, ol' pal."

With a sinister grin, he grips onto the watch, breaking it as it buzzes with Vox raging.

"Aaaarrggghhhhh!!!"

Alastor laughs and drops the now broken watch and moves back into the shadows. His grin can be seen as he looks at Damari.

"Time for you to go to bed, Damari."

"Right... Thanks."

She then left the room to go to sleep before Alastor disappears.
