The episode begins with a depiction of the universe where heaven lies in the sky with its golden gates shining. Charlie tells a story of how the universe was created by beings called angels and as she speaks images shows the silhouette of her father Lucifer creating fireworks which is disapproved by the angels for his reckless behavior. The angels then created the Earth where they create the first humans Adam and Lilith. Lilith rejected Adam however and flees from the garden where she meets Lucifer and the two fell in love. They came to Eve Adam's new bride to offer her an apple from a tree to give humanity free will but the Earth was shattered by darkness that was unleashed by this one action. The angels banished Lucifer and Lilith from Heaven and Earth and into the depths of pit black and darkness realm now known as Hell. While Lucifer lost his will and spirit Lilith thrived and brought Hell to power leading the angels to start the yearly Extermination as population control for the overpopulated demons and sinners in an act of fear and paranoia.


Charlie: Once upon a time there was a glowing city protected by golden gates known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light. Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation. But he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth they created Adam and Lilith. Equals as the first of mankind but despite this Adam demanded control and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the garden drawn in by her fierce independence Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love. Together they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the Fruit of Knowledge to Adam's new bride Eve who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience evil finally found its way into the Earth. With it a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed Lucifer lost his will to dream but Lilith thrived empowering demonkind with her voice and her songs and as the numbers of Hell grew so did its power. Threatened by this Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year they would send down an army an extermination to ensure Hell and its sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained and her dream was passed down to their precious daughter the princess of Hell.
