Hazbin Hotel Season 1 finale: Does Hell survive the Extermination?

The fight between Heaven and Hell unfolds in the Season 1 finale of Hazbin Hotel as Charlie and her beloved demons take on the Extermination and fight for their lives.

Hazbin Hotel is ending its first season with an all-out brawl as Charlie’s efforts to sway Heaven away from the Extermination fall flat. The last time you saw her, she had gone to Heaven and made many of the angels realize the reality of their brutal killings – not to mention Adam had a trick up his sleeve by revealing Vaggie’s past.

Going into the finale, the characters are in dire need of a solution. The Extermination is upon them, and they need to protect Hell at all costs – but how? Vaggie seeks the aid of Carmine, who killed an Executioner to protect her daughters.

Armed with knowledge and the people closest to her, Charlie takes on Adam and his angels.

Warning: Spoilers ahead!

Hazbin Hotel Season 1 finale is carnage and more

In the Hazbin Hotel Season 1 finale, Charlie and the others manage to stop Adam and his angels from killing the demons in Hell with the help of Lucifer Morningstar.

Carmine informed Vaggie that they had the answer all along to help them fight the angels – after all, Vaggie was one of them. Angel weapons are unique, and the only thing that can harm them. They soon prepare for what’s to come, and thankfully, Adam’s plan to drive a wedge between Charlie and Vaggie doesn’t work.

It’s the day of the Extermination, and Adam swoops in with his Angels for the kill. Charlie and the others are aided by local demons equipped with weaponry to not only protect themselves but their home as well. Alastor also helps out, having made a deal with Charlie the previous episode in exchange for a favor. He uses his powers to create a forcefield around the hotel. Their plan is working – until Adam uses his powers to destroy the force field in a second.

While Charlie and the others continue to fight off the exterminators, Alastor brawls with Adam. While Alastor has a few tricks up his sleeve, Adam manages to destroy his scepter and kills off his main source of power. Alastor is struck by Adama and disappears. Realizing that Adam is back, Charlie believes Alastor is dead.

Sir Pentious has his heroic moment of sacrifice and uses his ship to try and kill Adam. Sadly, Adam dissolves it with a single touch. Charlie becomes enraged and taps into it, attempting to fight off Adam as Vaggie takes on his head executioner.
