I know this might sound weird but I REALLY like the Chaggie conflict from S1 is how much of Charlie's demeanor changed. The normally peppy and accommodating princess became easily angered and annoyed; calling Alastor an "asshole" to his face, rolling her eyes in front of Rosie, and her infamous "fuck you, you old bitch" to Susan while flipping her off. I mean, Charlie had more urgent matters and reveals already plaguing her mind but Vaggie's secrecy is what shook her. The idea that the person who has been her most steadfast supporter was lying to her; the idea that the person she trusts and loves the most didn't trust her with a huge secret when Charlie has shown numerous times that she truly values trust and redemption. And the fact that Charlie's anger directed at Vaggie isn't expressive or emotional but cold and icy. Even though it's a tense and stressful moment for the couple, it also shows how much Charlie values Vaggie that the possibility of Vaggie not fully loving her caused the princess such emotional turmoil.

You ain't slick, Charlie. I see where those hands are. And I completely understand.

I love this brief moment in the song. Both of them romantically holding each other while singing; and the romantic flying to boot. Ending with them intertwining hands. And my favorite part being Charlie holding Vaggie's thighs while they briefly fly, not her waist or shoulders, her thighs. I think after their steamy duet, Charlie realized how long it's been and wants MORE. If they didn't have an emergency and the others weren't present, I guarantee they would've ended up making love again. Maybe in the air.

Do you guys ever truly think about Vaggie's vital importance to Charlie?

I sometimes think the fandom tend to overlook how much Vaggie means to Charlie. Think about it for a moment:

Before meeting with Vaggie, Charlie was alone. Her father was emotionally unavailable and unreceptive to her dream. Her mother had been gone for three years by that point, and Charlie had no way to contact her. She has no particular close relationships given how most of the Hell citizens see her as an airheaded joke. If still canon, she and her ex (Seviathan) are on bad terms and not friends. Charlie is virtually alone.

Then, she meets and rescues Vaggie. A supposed Sinner who is injured badly. And someone who doesn't see Charlie's kindness as a weakness but smiles out of gratitude. And that one smile had Charlie fall fast. They become friends and Charlie FINALLY has someone to talk to, vent, cry, and all that kind of stuff with Vaggie not being shady or uncaring at all. And unlike the Hazbin residents, Vaggie was never dismissive or gruff to Charlie.

Vaggie supported her ideas and plans, when everyone else (including her own father) didn't believe her. Vaggie became Charlie's best friend, confidant, true love, girlfriend (future wife), second-in-command, and partners. Vaggie became Charlie's everything.

And when Charlie learned of Vaggie's lie, the former was shaken with hurt and anger. Her defiance against Heaven became moot when Adam and Lute revealed her secret. She became noticeably angrier around people she would normally not be. Her anger, which would be expressive and near violent, became icy cold and distant when confronting Vaggie. And what truly shook Charlie's confidence was the idea that Vaggie never believed in her.

And let's we forget this moment at the end of the battle of the Hotel:

It got cropped out but we know the couple is glaring at Lute. And Charlie, who just moments had a look of some pity to a ranting Adam and even spared his life, shows none of that to Lute. Granted, Charlie didn't threaten to end her life but you can't tell me that Charlie wasn't thinking it. She's talking to a now one-armed, defenseless, crying Lute but Charlie goes demon mode with no look of sympathy. It's crystal clear: Charlie hates Lute for nearly killing Vaggie.

It's true that Charlie was the light that Vaggie needed to guide her back from the dark. But Vaggie is Charlie's guardian angel.
