Helluva Boss episode 8 plot prediction
Since we got some time till episode 8 comes out, I thought I’d post what I think/hope the Helluva Boss season 1 finale will be like.
The episode takes place a few days after the events of episode 7, after a scene where we see Blitzo is still a bit hurt from that night (but trying to hid it from the others) the trio see a different news station (maybe it has demon news anchors) talking about the rumors of Stolas dating an Imp. For those that have seen my previous work you know how I felt about Blitzo and Stolas’s “relationship” being revealed and though I can live with it I just want to suggest the idea that the lust ring is infamous for spreading rumors about couples/hook ups so maybe people like the news anchors don’t take this seriously but it wouldn’t stop them from covering it. I have another idea to solve this but that’s for later. Also would it be funny or not funny if somehow no one got a decent pic of Stolas with Blitzo so no one knows what Blitzo looks like ? Moxxie and Millie ask Blitzo if he is ok but he lies and says yes and mostly wonders how Stolas and Stella are reacting to this news.
We immediately cut to Stella who is obviously mad at the news and though Octavia (who is also embarrassed by this) tries to calm her down, Stella (in a calmer tone) states that what her father did is going to ruin their reputation and make their lives hard. Stella then goes back to being mad so Octavia, who is tired of this, decides to go to her father’s not seeing Stella make a call. Meanwhile though Stolas is having trouble with the paparazzi outside his house he is mostly still hurt by what Blitzo said in the previous episode. Maybe here we get the episode’s song where Stolas and Stella coincidently sing about their relationship, telling us if they did have feelings for each other or not, which I’m hopeful that they did. Maybe Blitzo could get some lines in the song ? After the song Stolas does something but while doing so he doesn’t see Striker who attacks him, and though Stolas fight back with his magic he still gets shot by Striker’s angel gun and falls to the floor, his eyes closed. Unknown to the two Octavia was in the house and seeing her father get shot, runs back to her house to tell her mother.
Thanks to some portal magic (I mean Stella was with Stolas for years so I bet she picked up a thing or two) Striker gets to Stella’s place to get his money from Stella who along with being rude to him reveals that since he failed to kill him the first time and before the events of episode 7, she deducted his pay a bit , and though it’s still a lot of money Striker is still annoyed by this. Octavia runs into the room where she is shocked to see her mom paying the man who killed Stolas and though Stella tries to tell Octavia it’s not what it looks like she isn’t listening to her. Stella then does admit to having a hand in Stolas’s death but she says that it was for the better good, and was looking out for them. Striker states that he is doing the same thing and knocks out Stella before she can react and Octavia runs away out of fear. While hiding Octavia calls Blitzo telling her what is going on and ask him to help her however she gets knocked out by Striker and after Blitzo states he is going to kill him, Striker says he can find him at a specific location revealing that he also has the book with him.
After Blitzo tells the others what is going on, they all go to the area where they see Stella and Octavia tied up, there demon magic being suppressed by some kind of material, which makes sense for this world to have since weaker demons like Imps and Hellhounds can do things like control fire and shapeshift. Striker then gives a rant similar to the one in episode 5 and again offers the others to join him where with the book they could make there lives better and change the demon hierarchy. The Imps say no and a big fight happens where while Moxxie and Millie try to untie Stella and Octavia, Millie get scraped by a bullet from Striker’s angelic gun which though doesn’t killing her, makes her pass out looking pale. This makes Moxxie mad and fights Striker where he does get a decent punch before he gets overpowered by Striker and maybe Striker’s horse pulls him out of the building. This leaves only Blitzo left where during the fight maybe Blitzo finally admits he likes Stolas before Strikers trips him. Striker seeing that he can blame the deaths of the Goetias on I.M.P. goes to kill Stella and Octavia and shoots at Stella but a wounded Stolas appears and takes another angelic bullet, surprising everyone especially Stella. In his confusion Striker is wide open and someone shoots and kills Striker with the other angel gun Striker lost in episode 5. While Moxxie tends to Millie, Blitzo unties Stella and Octavia who run to Stolas where Stella ask why he took the bullet for her after trying to get him killed and Stolas replies saying that along with apologizing for how stupid he has been throughout out the season and past few years, he states that he still cares about Stella and Octavia, which surprises Stella some more who starts to cry over Stolas’s body as his eyes close.
HOWEVER the episode doesn’t end there as we get another news report that tells us that Stolas is alive and recovering, and we find out that the Goetias and the Imps have lied about how Striker had been blackmailing Stolas into doing things like going out with Blitzo or he would kill his family with an angel gun he had stolen, which in turn gets rid of the dating rumors and saving that plot point for another day. We cut to Stolas’s house where Stella and Octavia are with a recovering Stolas. Stella gives a recovering Stolas some medicine and we get a hint that though there is a lot of tension between the two things seem to be better than before, however Octavia just moans at this and leaves annoyed. Blitzo climbs to the balcony to Stolas’s room as he was going to see Stolas to admit his feelings for him but after seeing him hanging out with his family, and quickly followed by Stolas saying they should just stop seeing each other like this, Blitzo sadly agrees as secretly he doesn’t want to ruin a family out of his selfishness. Stolas does say that he does want to keep giving Blitzo the book so he can run his business and offers another non sexual deal where Blitzo and the others protect his family if something ever happens to him which Blitzo agrees. Blitzo then ask for the book but Stolas finds its missing
Unknown to everyone, a sad Octavia is seen with the book and a backpack and uses it to go somewhere on Earth, running away from as she states it “her messed up family”. I also see the episode having an end credit scene where we see a recovering Moxxie and Millie at their apartment. Moxxie talks to a quiet and nervous Millie about all that has happened and tries to cheer her up offering to cook or sing for her but when this doesn’t work he ask her what is wrong as she can tell him anything and Millie quickly shouts that she wants to have a baby with Moxxie, and Moxxie silently and shockingly saying what !
That’s my take one the finale but I do have some other ideas for what could happen in it, like Blitzo goes to see Stolas to apologize but sees his dead body and we see him cry and there being more scenes of Octavia that eventually leads to her decision of running away. Now I did see a recap of the recent Helluva Boss Q&A that does state things that can confirm and deny some of the ideas here but I thought I’d still write my ideas as they are. I’ll be ok if some things from my prediction don’t happen in the finale like Octavia not knowing Stella was behind her father’s attack (as that could work for a future episode which still leads to her running away) or Millie stating she wants to have a kid with Moxxie but it would still be cool if they did.
What do you think/hope will happen in the finale ?
