I might have a few theories about this image could be about:
King of the Ars Goetia VS Deadly Sin:
1. I think if King Paimon were to intervene and lift Stolas’s banishment, it would significantly shift the dynamics between Stolas and Blitz just when they had begun to understand each other on a more equal footing. If Paimon is positioned above Satan in the hierarchy, he could have enough influence to override Satan’s decree, but not without ensuring Stolas “learns his lesson” first. This could mean that Paimon allows his son to experience the full weight of being cast out before eventually reinstating his status and perhaps as a way to remind Stolas that siding with commoners— not to mention leaving his daughter behind by force— has consequences.
I theorize that if Stolas were to be reinstated, his and Blitz’s statuses would shift yet again—just when they had finally begun to see each other as equals. Stolas has only just started to unlearn his aristocratic mindset, understanding what it means to truly meet Blitz on his level rather than treating him as someone beneath him. The reinstatement would upend that progress, not out of malice, but through circumstance. Blitz wouldn’t necessarily resent Stolas for it, but I imagine it would leave him heartbroken. Having allowed himself to form a semi-committed relationship, he might feel as though everything they built was on borrowed time—another thing slipping through his fingers just when he was starting to believe in it.
This could make for an incredibly angsty moment in one the episodes, particularly as they grapple with the uncertainty of their dynamic. Would Stolas, now back in a position of power, still treat Blitz as an equal? Would Blitz begin to withdraw, fearing that no matter how close they get, there will always be a gap between them? I could see Blitz, consciously or not, starting to self-sabotage—pulling away before Stolas has the chance to do it first, convinced that history is about to repeat itself.
At the same time, there’s an underlying apprehension about how their social standing will affect their relationship going forward. Blitz has always had a complicated relationship with power dynamics, and if Stolas is once again a prince, there’s the question of whether he would still be able to choose Blitz in the way he did when he had nothing to lose. However, I believe there could be a hidden factor that Blitz isn’t yet aware of: the possibility that Stolas, despite regaining his title, will never quite return to the person he used to be.
After experiencing what it was like to live as a “commoner”—a position he, subconsciously, once looked down on—Stolas may find himself forever changed. I theorize that his personality would be far more humble than before, shaped by the struggle and vulnerability he endured while stripped of his status. Even if he is reinstated, he would no longer approach power in the same way, perhaps even feeling alienated from the aristocracy that once defined his identity. If that were the case, I could see Stolas making a conscious effort to prove to Blitz that nothing has changed between them, that power and title mean little compared to what they’ve built together.
The question then becomes: would Blitz allow himself to believe that? Or would the mere possibility of history repeating itself be enough to push him away?
2. I have a theory that if Loona’s biological parents were to make an appearance in Helluva Boss, it would be a deeply emotional and potentially devastating moment—especially for Blitz. Their relationship has come such a long way, (after two seasons) with Loona finally calling him “Dad” consistently, a milestone that clearly means everything to him. But with Blitz’s self-sabotaging tendencies still unresolved, I can see him panicking the moment her biological parents return, convinced that she will no doubt choose them over him.
I think Blitz would immediately spiral into worst-case scenarios. In his mind, he would start questioning everything—was he ever really her father, or was he just someone she settled for because she had no one else? Would she leave him behind the second she had the chance at a “real” family? And even worse, if she does go, what does that say about him? That he was never enough? That, no matter how hard he tries, everyone he loves will eventually walk away?
I wonder if Helluva Boss could explore a narrative where Blitz loses Loona in a way that mirrors Stolas losing Octavia. While the circumstances would be different, the emotional core could be the same: a father-daughter relationship fractured, leading to the daughter walking away.
I think this could be an interesting thematic choice, especially considering how Blitz and Stolas have both struggled with their roles as fathers. Stolas’s loss of Octavia was largely due to his lack emotional fulfilment and the chaos of his personal life, leading her to feel alienated from him. If Loona were to leave Blitz, I imagine it wouldn’t be for quite the same reasons—perhaps it would stem from an opportunity to reconnect with her biological parents.
3. I think Loona moving out of the apartment — especially after 5 years since being adopted — would be a major angsty shift for both her and Blitz, especially considering their history. If this were to happen, I imagine she wouldn’t be doing it out of resentment but rather a need for independence. She might say something like, “I love you, Dad, but the place is getting too cramped. You and Stolas deserve your own space, and I need to figure out how to stand on my own two feet.” That alone would hit Blitz hard—not because he wouldn’t understand, but because it would confirm one of his biggest fears: that the people he loves always end up leaving him.
From a theoretical standpoint, I think this would be a pivotal moment for Blitz’s self-sabotaging tendencies. If Loona moving out was framed as a healthy, necessary step in her life, Blitz might still twist it into a personal failure. I could see him telling himself that he was too overbearing, that he wasn’t a good enough dad, or even that Loona just wanted to get away from him. Given how much he struggles with abandonment issues, he might lash out in some way—whether that’s picking a fight with Stolas, making some reckless business decisions, or isolating himself under the guise of not caring.
At the same time, I think this could be a turning point for Loona’s character. She’s always had this defensive, closed-off personality, but moving out would be a sign of real growth. If she’s taking this step, it means she’s not just relying on Blitz’s protection anymore—she’s choosing to stand on her own, despite her own fears of vulnerability. I imagine this could create tension between her and Blitz, not because she doesn’t love him, but because he might struggle to accept that she doesn’t need him in the same way anymore.
And then there’s Stolas. If I were to theorize about his role in all of this, I think he would be caught between wanting to comfort Blitz and wanting to respect Loona’s decision. He knows what it’s like to have a complicated parental relationship, and I imagine he would try to reassure Blitz that this is just part of Loona growing up—not a sign that she’s abandoning him. Whether or not Blitz listens to him is another story.
Overall, I think this scenario could be a catalyst for a lot of character development. Loona would be proving to herself that she can handle life on her own, while Blitz would be forced to confront the fact that loving someone doesn’t mean holding onto them forever. It could either deepen his self-destructive tendencies or push him toward genuine emotional growth—depending on how he processes it.
4. I believe Stolas will come to a pivotal moment in his journey, a fork in the road where he must choose between two paths, both carrying immense personal consequences. Paimon will likely present him with a choice: remain a commoner and finally live a free, unburdened life with Blitz, or accept early reinstatement and regain access to his daughter, Octavia. I think this decision will serve as the emotional climax of the season, potentially leading into Season 4, which may not arrive until 2027 or later.
I feel that the most heartbreaking part of this scenario isn’t just the choice itself, but the way it unfolds. I can see Blitz, despite his own feelings, encouraging Stolas to take back his position for Octavia’s sake. I think he would insist that Stolas shouldn’t let him be the reason that he remains separated from his daughter. I imagine Blitz masking his own emotions, acting as if he’s indifferent, even though deep down, it’s tearing him apart. I think this would add another layer of angst, the kind of painful, gut-wrenching moment that Vivienne thrives on in her storytelling.
I believe this choice will solidify the tragedy of their relationship—Stolas being forced to choose between the love he’s finally found and the daughter he refuses to abandon. I imagine this moment will be framed as bittersweet, with both of them knowing what they want but also understanding what they must do. I think this decision, no matter which path Stolas chooses, will leave a lasting impact on both of them, reshaping their dynamic going forward.
Termination, Surrogacy, or Miscarriage:
6. If Millie decides to continue the pregnancy, there is a strong possibility that she will experience a miscarriage, which would be the worst-case scenario. However, if she chooses not to proceed, she may opt for termination instead. Both outcomes carry significant emotional weight, creating a deeply personal and potentially controversial situation. While some may have strong opinions on either choice, the decision ultimately belongs to Millie. As the one who would endure the physical and emotional toll of carrying a pregnancy for nine months, she has the right to make the choice that is best for her.
From my perspective, this situation presents an opportunity for an emotionally complex character arc—one that explores themes of bodily autonomy, personal identity, and societal expectations. I personally hope to see an arc where Millie realizes she doesn’t need to have a baby to “complete” her marriage with Moxxie. Many couples choose to remain child-free and still lead fulfilling, deeply loving partnerships. In fact, studies have shown that childless couples often report higher levels of life satisfaction, challenging the assumption that parenthood is necessary for happiness or a successful marriage.
This could be a powerful moment of self-discovery for Millie, allowing her to redefine what fulfillment looks like in her relationship. Perhaps she initially struggles with external pressure or internalized beliefs about what a “perfect” marriage should be. Over time, she could come to see that her love with Moxxie is already whole and doesn’t need a child to validate it. Such an arc could add depth to her character, highlighting how societal norms can shape personal decisions, and ultimately reaffirming her autonomy in making the choice that aligns with her own happiness.
To be honest, the only couple I would truly love to see having a child is Stolas and Blitz, perhaps later down the track—maybe sometime in Season 4. Who knows? Maybe, just maybe, Millie could act as a surrogate for them. If she either lost her own pregnancy in Season 3 or made the difficult decision to terminate it, carrying a child for Stolas and Blitz could be a transformative experience for her. It might even lead her to realize, “I definitely want one.”
I personally believe that Millie’s struggle isn’t actually about Moxxie supposedly cheating on her, but rather about the internal conflict she faces due to her upbringing. Coming from a large family—one that may be deeply traditional or even religious—it’s likely that she was raised in an environment where abortion was viewed as unacceptable. If that’s the case, the real issue she’s dealing with isn’t just grief of what to do with the baby but also the weight of societal and familial expectations. If she terminates the pregnancy, she might grapple with feelings of guilt, shame, or even a crisis of faith because she’s been conditioned to believe that motherhood is her ultimate purpose.
Seeing her navigate these emotions could make for a compelling arc—one where she learns to separate her personal desires from the expectations imposed on her by her upbringing. If she later agrees to be a surrogate for Stolitz, it could serve as a pivotal moment in her journey, allowing her to embrace the idea of parenthood on her terms rather than out of obligation. This kind of development would add depth to her character, shifting the focus away from relationship drama and toward a more introspective exploration of identity, choice, and self-acceptance.
7. I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do:
Would a proposal between Stolas and Blitz really be so “out of the box” considering everything that has happened between them? When you break it down, it actually makes a lot of sense. Stolas has loved Blitz since childhood—an innocent, pure kind of love that never had the chance to bloom. Then, decades passed without contact, and when they did reunite, their relationship was complicated by power dynamics, emotional wounds, and one-sidedness. It wasn’t until Season 2 that Blitz started reciprocating in a way that wasn’t just lust or obligation. Given that trajectory, a proposal wouldn’t be far-fetched at all; in fact, it might be the natural culmination of everything they’ve been through.
Stolas is, by nature, a hopeless romantic. Everything about him—from his flowery way of speaking to his grand gestures—screams someone who yearns for love the way it’s written in poetry and fairy tales. If anything, a dramatic, heartfelt proposal would be completely in character for him. He’s the type of demon who would orchestrate something straight out of a movie: sentimental, deeply personal, and undeniably over the top. That’s why, looking back, his line in The Full Moon—“I want you to stay with me”—feels like foreshadowing. It wasn’t just a plea for Blitz to sleep beside him that night; it was a quiet confession of what he truly wanted: for Blitz to stay in his life, permanently.
And while Stolas isn’t necessarily the type to rush into relationships under normal circumstances, this isn’t a normal circumstance. He has only ever truly loved one person—Blitz. He may have married Stella, but that was never love, quite the opposite actually given her cruelty towards him, but it was mainly to procreate an heir for the Goetia and was basically bound by duty. His romantic feelings have always belonged to one person, and now that those feelings are finally, finally being returned, why would he hesitate? If anything, the years of waiting, longing, and suffering would only make him more certain that he doesn’t want to waste any more time.
I don’t believe Stolas and Blitz will “break up” again, per se, but I do think their relationship will hit another emotional crossroads. If Blitz reaches a point in his healing process where he openly expresses, “I want to be with you,” I can see a 99.9% chance that, this time, Stolas won’t be ready to take that next step.
The key difference here is that the hesitation wouldn’t stem from fear of rejection or uncertainty about Blitz’s feelings—it would come from Stolas himself. The lingering guilt over what Octavia said to him about constantly choosing Blitz over her is something that can’t simply be undone with encouraging words or physical intimacy. No matter how much he wants this relationship, that guilt could weigh heavily on him, making him feel undeserving of happiness with Blitz until he can reconcile his past mistakes as a father.
I think in this scenario, instead of eagerly jumping at the chance to solidify their relationship, Stolas would respond with something like, “I do want this with you, but right now, I’m not emotionally or mentally ready.” This creates an almost role-reversal from Season 1—where Stolas was the one pushing for something deeper, and Blitz kept his walls up—but it wouldn’t be an exact mirror. Instead, it would highlight their individual growth. Stolas, who once pursued Blitz without considering emotional consequences, would now be the one setting boundaries, while Blitz, who used to avoid emotional vulnerability, would be the one openly asking for connection.
This shift wouldn’t be about rejection but rather about timing and emotional readiness, reinforcing the idea that real love isn’t just about wanting someone—it’s about being in the right place to nurture that relationship.
I believe there will be another major battle involving Andrealphus and Stella against Octavia and I.M.P., serving as a pivotal moment in Season 3. In many ways, the ending of “Sinsmas” felt like a preview of what’s to come, creating a deliberate parallel that foreshadows the stakes and emotional weight of this confrontation.
I think this could be the moment where, if Octavia were physically harmed—especially if she were bound by angelic rope, a call back to the “Western Energy” episode when the same thing had happened to her father—Stolas would finally step in to protect her in a way we haven’t seen before. With his magic still compromised, he wouldn’t have the ability to rely on spells, much like Octavia had protected him in season 2 finale. This would be his opportunity to prove that his love isn’t just words or empty reassurances—it’s action. Just as he was willing to risk himself for Blitz in “Mastermind”, this could be the moment where he shows that he is just as willing, if not more, to put himself in harm’s way for his daughter. I could see this being the moment when Octavia finally understands the depth of Stolas’s love for her—that he would sacrifice his own safety without hesitation for her.
(If it’s not going to be Stolas who gets seriously injured then it’ll definitely be Blitz— one of them)
At the same time, I can’t ignore the possibility that Blitz could also play a role here. I feel like Viv is deliberately building up to a deeper, familial connection between him and Octavia, something that was only briefly touched on in Season 2 (at the end). Since much of that season revolved around Blitz’s complicated relationship with Stolas, it would make sense for Season 3 to shift the focus onto him forming a bond with Stolas’s daughter. If Octavia were in danger, I could see Blitz stepping in instinctively, reinforcing that growing connection between them.
This moment could serve as a major emotional turning point, not just for Octavia and Stolas but also for Blitz, further intertwining their dynamics and reinforcing the core themes of love, sacrifice, and found family.
In a reversal of roles, Blitz finds himself homeless after a fire—of all things—engulfs his apartment. The irony isn’t lost on him, considering all the dangerous situations he’s been in, only for something as mundane as a fire to take everything. This disaster happens just as Stolas and Octavia have finally reconciled, which, in a way, feels almost poetic for their ever-growing family.
Blitz, ever the cynic, cracks a joke about needing a bigger place for four people instead of cramming into a one-room apartment, throwing in that Octavia is clearly becoming part of their chaotic little unit. At least now, she won’t have to worry about accidentally sharing a bed with Loona.
Alternatively, if Stolas is reinstated as prince earlier than expected, he could extend an offer for Blitz and Loona to stay with him and Octavia. With their old apartment reduced to ashes, it wouldn’t just be an act of kindness—it’d be another step toward solidifying the unconventional yet unmistakable family they’re building.
What if Tilla has been alive this entire time? We never actually saw her body, leaving room for the possibility that she survived the fire. Season 3 could be the perfect moment for her to reveal herself to Blitz, especially given his deep-seated guilt over believing he caused her death. This revelation would be a major emotional turning point, throwing Blitz into a whirlwind of emotions as he grapples with the truth.
There have been subtle hints about Tilla throughout the series. She was first pictured in Ozzie’s and then made a more detailed appearance in Ghostfuckers. Additionally, Blitz’s signature skull pin originates from his mother, possibly foreshadowing a larger narrative involving her. All of this could be building up to a major reveal, where she provides an accurate account of what really happened the night the fire was set.
Furthermore, this theory aligns with the overarching family themes in Helluva Boss. The show has continuously explored complex familial relationships, trauma, and reconciliation. Tilla’s return could add another layer to Blitz’s already turbulent character arc, forcing him to confront his past in a way he never expected.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how Helluva Boss could conclude Season 3, especially when it comes to Stolas and Octavia’s relationship. We’ve heard Stolas sing multiple times, and now we’ve finally seen Octavia sing as well. What better way to end the season than with a father-daughter duet? Singing could be the one thing they truly have in common—when words fail them, music becomes their way of communicating.
I find it particularly interesting that in “I Will Be Okay” (Season 2), Octavia had a manifestation of Stolas reaching out to her as she sang. Could this have been foreshadowing? A subtle setup for a future duet? It makes me wonder if Vivienne Medrano has been intentionally building up to this moment all along. After all, why give Stolas 4 different songs (albeit two of them were duets with Blitz) and Octavia just one if not to eventually bring them together musically? The thought of them finally reconnecting through song is something I never considered before, but now I’d be beyond ecstatic if it happened!!!
What’s even more intriguing is how this mirrors another father-daughter dynamic—Rory and Lucifer from Lucifer on Netflix. Like Octavia, Rory resented her father for “abandoning” her, leading to a breakdown in their relationship. But ultimately, they found a way to bond through music. Given how Helluva Boss leans into musical storytelling, I could absolutely see something similar happening between Stolas and Octavia.
I can picture it: Stolas singing in his haunting countertenor while Octavia takes the lower notes, much like how Stolas and Blitz once shared a soliloquy song. If done right, a duet between them could be the emotional culmination of their arc, allowing them to express all the things they’ve struggled to say even better without any more miscommunications getting in the way of their relationship of the whole “he/she said” thing happening
I honestly think Octavia and Stolas’s duet would look something like this:
(Piano and strings, melancholic)
Soft shadows stretch across the walls,
Memories whisper, but no one calls.
[Verse 1] (Octavia’s voice, soft but growing in intensity)
You told me stories under silver light,
Promised the stars would hold me tight.
But now the night feels cold and hollow,
Your voice is gone, just echoes follow.
[Pre-Chorus] (Building tension, drums kicking in)
You say you care, you say you tried,
But every tear, I cried alone inside.
What’s love if all it leaves is scars?
What’s a father if he’s worlds apart?
[Chorus] (Powerful, orchestral swells, belted notes)
Do you hear me now? Do you feel my pain?
Every word I screamed just washed away in rain.
I was reaching out, but you were chasing flames,
Now I’m just a shadow left behind your name.
[Instrumental Break] (Guitar solo, swelling strings)
[Verse 2] (Stolas’ voice, remorseful, lower tone)
I see the weight I placed on you,
The shattered past you stumbled through.
I built a love that fell apart,
And left you trapped inside the dark.
[Pre-Chorus] (Both voices overlapping, desperate harmonies)
I should have seen, I should have stayed,
But I lost you in the mess I made.
You were always more than words could say,
[Chorus] (Duet, Octavia’s anger, Stolas’ sorrow, voices clashing then blending)
Do you hear me now? Do you feel my pain?
Every word I screamed just washed away in rain.
I was reaching out, but you were chasing flames,
Now I’m just a shadow left behind your name.
[Bridge] (Quiet, soft strings, heart-wrenching harmonies)
(Octavia) I just wanted you to listen…
(Stolas) I never meant to go…
(Octavia) But now I don’t know if I can…
(Both) Let this love heal or let it go…
[Outro] (Piano fading, voices echoing in the silence)
(Octavia, whispered) Do you hear me now…?
(Stolas, fading) I hear you now…
