Sometime later, back at the hotel...

The Ink Demons are currently fixing the hole in the wall. Charlie and Vaggie soon return from their outing. Charlie throws herself onto a couch, exhausted.

"Soooo? How'd it go?" Angel questions.

Vaggie sighs, "Not a single new recruit."

"Yeah well, who would wanna use their last days not fucking and fighting?" Angel responds, and checks on his phone.

"Come on Angel, don't be like that," Zelda says.

"Well it's true," Angel says.

Zelda turns to Charlie, "Come on Charlie, cheer up. Sure things at your hotel haven't gone off so well, but I'm sure things will take off eventually."

Charlie lifts her head up, "I guess you're right. It hasn't been that long since the hotel opened."

"And who knows, maybe someone will be taking an interest to not only become patients, but maybe have more workers," Zelda says.

"How can you be so sure?" Angel asks.

"Well, I'm not entirely sure, but we shouldn't lose faith in this," Zelda says.

Suddenly, the group hears knocking at the front door.

Zelda turns to Angel, "See, I told you." and sticks her tongue out.

"Yeah yeah," Angel says, rolling his eyes.

Zelda then walks to the front door and opens it to see who's at the door. Vaggie decides to follow, just in case. When Zelda opens the door, she sees Sir Pentious holding his hat.

With a smile, Sir Pentious says, "Why, hello my dears—"

But Pentious gets cut off by Vaggie punching him in the face as she moves Zelda back.

Vaggie shouts, "Get behind me!"And then she brings out her spear at him.

Pentious cowers in fear with the tip barely at his neck, "Wait, wait, wait! I come in peace," and holds out a peace sign gesture.

"What are you doing here?" Vaggie demands.

Soon, Charlie appears behind Vaggie and Zelda, "Vaggie, what's the problem?"

Charlie gasps with a smile, "Oh! Hello again!"

"What are you doing back here?" Zelda questions.

"I didn't come looking for a fight," Pentious says as he stands back up, "I uhh.. I heard that you're helping people, people who want to be better?"

Charlie lets out a gasp of excitement and runs over to grab hand, "You heard right! Welcome to our home of healing, our resort of restoration, our-" And leads him to the front door.

But Angel appears from the front and cuts her off in anger, "Are you fucking nuts? This chump was trying to kill us like literally 6 hours ago! And let's not forget he nearly blasted Zelda into pieces a week ago. And now you wanna bring him in here to live with us?"

"Absolutely!" Charlie quickly answers with glee, "This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this slithery... slippery..." and gives pentious a soft elbow on his arm, "Special little man!"

Angel asks Vaggie, "Aren't you supposed to protect this place?"

Charlie gives her puppy-dog eyes, begging Vaggie to give Sir Pentious a chance to live in the hotel.

Vaggie soon gives in with a sigh, "I guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine,"

Sir Pentious' cobra head lifts with anticipation.

But then Vaggie bluntly says, "Or even with the war machine."

Sir Pentious' cobra head flaps down with depression, sighing.

Charlie happily hugs Vaggie, lifting her up in the process and twirls around as she screams, "Oh! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

Then says to Sir Pentious, "Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!" Then she leads him inside.

Soon, Pentious follows after her, "Oh no darling! Thank you! You won't regret this."

"Eh, I give you a week, tops," Angel says and follows soon after.

The group soon walks into the hotel.

Soon, Charlie gives Sir Pentious the tour of the hotel, "So, this is the bar and the bartender," and introduces Husk to Pentious.

Charlie continues, "This is the curtain, and this is the new wall after you broke the last one, heh, and oh! Oh! This is the-"

But Vaggie grabs Charlie to calm her down again, "Babe, you don't have to show him every detail."

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

"Uh, what the hell am I then?" Angel questions with a frown.

Charlie turns to Angel, "Well, you're an important part of our family here Angel, but you uhm, uh..."

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

And then Charlie says, "What she means is, it's just nice to have someone interested for once." as he comes back to Sir Pentious.

Angel has his doubts about Pentious, but looks a bit upset at everything Vaggie described him to be.

Zelda walks to Angel, "It's okay Angel. Despite some faults, you're still a good guy."

"Thanks. I guess," Angel says.

He then says, "I'm surprised you're not against this. Did you forget that Sir Pentious tried to have us killed?"

"Look Angel, I admit, I'm rather reluctant about him staying after what happened, but maybe we should try to give him a second chance. It is what the hotel is about," Zelda says.

Angel sighs, "I'll try, but the moment he starts something, we're giving his ass the boot. A bullet in his head."

Meanwhile, Niffty is playing with KeeKee with a string when Charlie and Sir Pentious approach them.

Charlie introduces them, "Over here we have our maid Niffty."

During the time, Keekee hisses at the sight of Sir Pentious and scatters away while Niffty turns around to meet him.

Nifty gasps in excitement and approaches him, "The bad boy is back!

Niffty gets up on Sir Pentious and holds his collars, looking at him with insanity in her red eyes and a very sadistic smile.

She lets out a creepy whisper, "Never leave me again," Which creeps out Sir Pentious.

"We're about 80% sure she's harmless," Charlie says.

Hearing it, it makes Zelda wonder what the other 20% is for Niffty's case

She then continues on, "And over here we have-" And nearly bumps into Alastor.

She turns to see him, "Oh! Uh, Alastor! Our gracious facility manager! You've met our newest guest Sir Pentious...hehe.."

And this time, Alastor recognizes him, "Ah yes! You're the one who ruined my coat!"

He then says in a sinister tone, "I definitely remember you now."

As saying so, Alastor's eyes glow red in the dark with a violent temptation to rip him apart.

Sir Pentious gulps nervously and hides behind Zelda who is walking by.

Zelda whispers to Charlie, "I think he's still pretty upset about the little incident from earlier. Perhaps we can do something to uh, break the tension between them."

Charlie quickly acts, "Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson!" And clears her throat, "'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?"

Zelda then gives Pentious a little nudge so he's facing Alastor.

Reluctantly and nervously, Pentious begins to apologize, "Yes..uhm.. Mr uhm.. Radio Demon sir, please forgive me for attacking you and ruining your very lovely coat.. uhm.. Here."

As a token of apology, Sir Pentious hands back the small fabric he tore from Alastor's coat earlier today.

Alaster takes it and inspects the damage, "Ah-Ho! Not many people have been able to take even this much off me, it must have meant quite a lot to you."

Despite being generous, Alastor burns the fabric tear in green flames, leaving Sir Pentious, Zelda, and Charlie stunned.

Later on, everyone gather at the fireplace for a little group gathering, and introduce Pentious to the hotel

"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. Everyone, follow me," Charlie says.

And Charlie starts the exercise, "My name is Charlie," claps twice, "I like to sing!" claps twice, "and when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing!" claps twice.

Then Charlie gestures to Zelda.

Zelda begins her turn, "My name is Zelda," claps twice, "I like costume making!" and I love to swim in the sea with aquatic animals and collect sea shells!"

Zelda then gestures to Sir Pentious.

Then Sir Pentious says his verse, "My name's Sir Pentious," claps twice, "I like to build," claps twice, "And despite my stupid Egg Bois, I think I'm very skilled!" claps twice.

Then Charlie, Zelda, and Sir Pentious gestures to Angel, letting him know that it's his turn. However, Angel is not interested and is looking at his phone.

He then looks up from his phone and says, "This is stupid."

Charlie then says, "This is not stupid!" claps twice, "It's just a game!" claps twice, "Zelda and Sir Pentious did it well so now please try to do the same!" claps twice.

"I am too sober for this," Angel says, pinching the bridge between his eyes.

"Well, get used to it and learn how to play, this is gonna be your whole day!" Vaggie says and claps twice.

Zelda tries her best to stifle her laughter.

The next part of the exercise is a little role-playing. Angel Dust is wearing a trenchcoat and a hat while he reads a script. Sir Pentious was also role-playing as an innocent child wearing a sailor suit, licking a lollipop.

Angel reads the script, "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?" Then stops reading it and says, "Wow, who wrote this?"

"It's great right? Keep going!" Charlie eagerly says.

Angel then decides to continue, "Hey you."

"Who, me?" Pentiou asks, turning to face Angel with sparkles in his eyes.

Angel continues to read the script, "Yeah, you look like a kid who could use some... devil's dandruff?" and soon get annoyed, "Oh, for fuck's sake."

Sir Pentious then says, "Not me! I have to go home and study!"

"Come on kid, it'll make you cool like me...the crackhead," Angel says.

"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!" Pentious says.

Charlie stands up and happily claps, "Yes! Oh bravo! Bravo!" She chuckles, "Wow Pentious! At this rate, you'll be redeemed in no time."

"I..I'm going to bed," Angel says, and begins to head back to his room.

As he walks towards the stairs he overhears Charlie congratulating Sir Pentious, "I am so proud of you Sir Pentious! That was amazing!"

"Thank you! Thank you! You like me! You really like me!" Pentious says, flattered.

Angel then walks up the stairs to his room, but isn't aware that Zelda ends up spotting him. Zelda then grows concerned. At first, Zelda wants to follow him, but she thinks it's best to give him some space before talking to him.

In Angel's room, Fat Nuggets is asleep on his bed until Angel accidentally throws his coat on top of him. Fat Nuggets grunts and crawls out of the coat as he watches Angel lie down on his bed. Angel looks at his phone and sees all his voice mails from Valentino. Angel sighs and begins to play them. Valentino's voice mails switch back and forth between a friendly, apologetic tone and a barrage of screams threatening violence.

Valentino (voice message):

Angel baby, come home! It's not the same without you here, I miss you! Come back-

ANGEL, YOU BITCH! IF YOU DON'T COME HOME, YOU'LL BE FUCKING GREASY TRUCKERS FOR THE NEXT YEAR-

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

YOU FUCKING SLUT!

Hey, Angie! About earlier-

-KILL YOUR WHOLE FUCKIN' FAMILY!

Work's really stressful!

-LITTLE COCKSUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!

Then the voice changes to dead serious, "You actually think you can change? Addict trash like you doesn't change. I'll see you soon, baby."

Messages End:

Angel sighs as Fat Nuggets gets on the bed next to him.

"Sorry, not now, Fat Nuggets," Angel says as he gets up and leaves his room with Fat Nuggets looking worried.

Angel goes to Husk's bar and starts drinking alcohol. Then he notices a slithering noise. He finds Charlie's office door opened, and takes a peek inside. There, he discovers that Sir Pentious is setting up a small camera in one of the bookshelves, a camera that belongs to Vox.

Realizing what's going on, Angel slams the door open to confront him, "You slippery little shit!"

That causes Sir Pentious to scream in fright.

"You're working for the Vees? I fucking knew there was something shitty about you," Angel angrily says, "

"I don't know what you're talking about!...whore bug!" Pentious says.

Being called a 'whore bug' really ticks Angel off and tackles Sir Pentious to the ground.

Pentious struggles to break free, "Get your aggressively average body...OFF OF ME!" and opens his hood to reveal his hypnotic powers from his eyes.

Angel becomes hypnotized, "Fuck!" and backs away.

He then quickly snaps out of it. He now has Sir Pentious cornered. Right then, Charlie, Vaggie, and Zelda wake up after hearing the scuffle.

Charlie yawns, "What's going on?"

"What's all the noise?" Zelda asks.

Angel and Pentious stop with their little fight.

Angel then confirms the situation, "This little bitch is a traitor!"

Pentious denies it, "Preposterous! I would never betray you. You... are my best friends!" and hugs Charlie and Vaggie.

"Uh huh, then explain this!" Angel says and points to the device on the shelf.

Zelda walks over and notices the device on the bookshelf, "What's that?"

Zelda then picks up the item from the self, and looks at the camera in question.

"Is this some kind of spy camera?" Zelda asks.

Zelda looks at the object carefully to see that it's a rather blueish color and it has a V on the side, and finds a label behind it.

"There's also a label here," Zelda says and reads the label, "Made from VoxTech."

"VoxTech?! As in the Overlord Vox!" Vaggie exclaims in shock.

Charlie panics as she grabs the spy camera from Zelda and rushes to her desk. She then opens the draw, puts the camera in, and quickly closes.

She sighs in relief, "Phew, we do not want to take that chance. He might be watching through it."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zelda replies. Then turns to Pentrious, "Sir Pentious, I think we all deserve an explanation. What's going on?"

Sir Pentious realizes that his cover was blown scurries away. He brings out his wrist watch to make contact with Vox.

Pentious explains after contacting Vox, "Ah! Ah! Abort! Abort! S.O.S! Agent Pentious in need of immediate evacuation!"

Vox immediately picks up,"Pentious? Wait... you were caught?! It hasn't even been a day!"

Pentious then begs for help, "Please! You've got to get me out of here!"

But Vox says, "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!" and hangs up soon after.

Zelda mutters, "What a jerk?"

Charlie nods in reply.

Soon, Pentious begins crying, "I... I... just make it quick I guess...not that I deserve it," And lies on the ground.

Charlie and Zelda can't help but feel sorry for Pentious, especially since he's trying to impress him and his colleagues.

Vaggie holding a spear ready to pierce the skull, "Gladly."

But before Vaggie could put him out of misery.

Charlie stops her, "Wait! Pentious?"

And begins to sing.

Charlie:

It starts with sorry, that's your foot in the door.

One simple sorry, spoken straight from your core.

The path to forgiveness, is a twisting trail of hearts!

But sorry is where it starts!

Sir Pentious:

Who could forgive a dirtbag like me?

I don't deserve your amnesty.

Angel comes with dual Tommy submachine guns in both hands with Vaggie tailing behind with her spear.

Angel Dust and Vaggie:

Can't we just kill him?

Shoot him and spill his blood?

Charlie:

That's an option you could choose.

Angel Dust and Vaggie:

Works for us.

Charlie:

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

Sir Pentious:

Sorry.

Charlie:

Dig down deeper and say one sincere sorry!

Sir Pentious:

I'm so sorry!

Charlie:

And your journey's underway!

Charlie and Sir Pentious:

It'll take time to cover your/my vast multitude of sins

But sorry is where it begins. It starts with sorry.

As the song ends, Niffty is awake, but she is disappointed that Sir Pentious isn't who she thought he would be: a bad boy.

Niffty shouts, "I hated that song! Why are you so lame?!" She then kicks him on his body and walks away, "Not a bad boy."

Charlie happily sighs, "Good first day! Let's get some rest!"

"Yeah. We had a long day," Zelda says.

And with that, everyone begins leaving the room so they can get to bed. The group walks down the hall and begins talking together.

"Glad you decided to stay at the hotel," Zelda says.

"I guess," Vaggie says.

"I suppose, but I feel that there's a lot to learn about redemption," Pentious says.

"Well, apologizing and earning forgiveness is a start," Charlie says.

"Charlie's right. It may take some time, but I'm sure you can get through it," Zelda says.

"Thank you. Although, I do alo owe you an apology for almost blasting you to bitsss back there," Sir Pentious says.

"Eh, I'm actually over it by now, sort of, but it will take time. I can still accept your apology, but forgiving is going to take a little to earn," Zelda says.

Sir Pentious sheepishly nods with a smile.

"You know, you're actually kind of a good person once we get to know you," Zelda says.

"Thank you," Pentious says.

Then Zelda asks, "By the way, Pen, why did Vox want you to come to the hotel to set up spy cameras?"

"I was wondering about that myself," Vaggie says.

"Well, he didn't really explain too much into details about his intentions, but the Vees want to be sure no deals are made between Charlie and Alastor," Pentious says.

"All this just to make sure I don't make a deal with Alastor?" Charlie questions.

Vaggie sighs, "Do they think we're that stupid."

"I don't think it's you girls, but Alastor. He's pretty crafty and tricky," Sir Pentious says.

"That's true," Vaggie replies.

"What exactly did they want you to do?" Charlie asks.

"Well, they gave me a few of the spy cameras to place at places in the hotel, mostly where Alastor could be and where they can watch us," Pentious says.

"That would be places like the lobby, the lounge, the bar, the dining room, any place where we all gathered," Zelda says.

"You are correct. I have a few more of the cameras in my zeppelin, but I'll dispose of them, especially the specific camera and listening device," Pentious says.

"Did they want you to place those in a specific place?" Vaggie asks.

"Indeed. They want me to put it in a specific room, a bedroom to be exact," Pentious says.

Angel says in defense, "Oh no, not in my room!"

"They didn't ask you to put one in Alastor's room, did they?" Charlie asks.

"Not even Vox is that crazy," Angel says, rolling his eyes.

"No. Not in your room or Alastor's room," Pentious says.

Angel sighs in relief, "That's a relief."

"They want me to place them in Zelda's room," Pentious answers.

This causes everyone to come to a halt in shock.

"What?!" Charlie and Vaggie exclaim in shock.

"It's true. They want me to put the camera and listing device in Zelda's room. They want to keep a special eye on her," Pentious says.

"If they want you to put the cameras in her room, then... that means..." Charlie says, fearing the answer.

Sir Pentious nods his head in response, "Yes. They know Zelda is staying in the hotel. I don't know how or why they want to, but I suspect they must have figured out where Zelda is staying after the little mishalf with the Turf War that happened a week ago."

"But how?" Angel asks, shocked.

"We shouldn't worry about why or how they found out. I'm more worried about Zelda, now it's clear that the Vees know she's here," Charlie says.

Vaggie turns to Pentious, "Do you know anything else?"

"Not much, but the only other thing I know is that they want me to be extra sure that no deal is struck between her and Alastor. They want me to kidnap her from the hotel and take her to the V Tower. They want the cameras and listening device so they can know more about her, and when the time is right, I'm supposed to take her to the V tower where they'll keep her locked up. Though, I don't know why, but that's what they want me to do," Sir Pentious answers.

"This is not good," Zelda says, worried.

"No it's not. I don't know how or why, but all we know that now the Vees knows that you're is staying at the hotel and are clearly after you," Vaggie says.

"You're right," Angel says, and starting to feel remorse, "Shit, I hope this wasn't my fault. Val, Vox or Velvette might have seen Zelda helping out with me and Cherri on the News during the Turf War."

"I'm sure it wasn't your fault, Angel. It might be a matter of time before someone finds out where I am. So far, there aren't that many demons who discovered where I am, or any connection I ended up with, especially since that day is when you and I met," Zelda says.

"I think it's best we have an emergency meeting tomorrow. Now that the Vees are aware that Zelda is here, we need to protect her. We also need to figure out why they want Zelda," Charlie says.

She then yawns, "For now, let's all get to bed and we can talk about it in the morning."

"Okay," Zelda says.

And with that, everyone begins to walk back to their rooms to get some sleep for the night and by tomorrow, they'll discuss what they need to do next.

Meanwhile back in the office, the wrist watch communicator is still on the floor. Soon, Alastor appears from the shadows of the dark hallway with a smile. He then comes in. picks up the watch, and uses his magic to contact Vox on it.

Vox notices and shouts, "WHAT?!"

But pauses to realize that it's Alastor who is calling him, showing fear in his screen face.

With an evil smile Alastor says, "You'll have to try harder than that next time ol' pal!"

And then crushes the watch with his bare hand, and the only sound Vox makes is a raging scream as Alastor evilly laughs. Then the Radio Demon retreats back into the darkness.
