"**Go to Hell (Pilot)**" is the first episode of the first season of *Garbage People.* It is the first episode of the series. It premiered in 2022 and was remastered for the Summer 2023 release. It was written by Brit Tobin and directed by Brit Tobin.

## Synopsis

Patches and Peel meet Death and are sent to "Hell" for their misdeeds, which turns out to be a lesson in feng shui. Patches quits his job as a stripper at the Bruised Banana and Peel gets a new cockroach pet named Fluffy.

## Plot

Working an early shift at the Bruised Banana, Patches is hit with the realization that his stripping hustle is a fruitless endeavor and retires his pink g-string. He contemplates his poor life choices on the walk of shame home and is left penniless and full of regret after tossing back a few drinks at the Landfille. He walks Trash Beach in search of answers. Meanwhile, Peel is prepared to give Patches a stern talking to in his new Rihanna-inspired pimp getup. They meet on Trash Boulevard where Patches spills the unfortunate news. Peel slaps him around only to admit that he too has been spending all of their Trash Cash on new outfits.

In order to make ends meet, they conjure up a plan to steal a cup full of trade from the local homeless Core. Peel, on the other hand, has a more devious idea in mind and wants to murder him for a quick buck at the Pawn Shop. This triggers Patches to imagine the horrific scene in anxiety-inducing detail. Inevitably, they agree to take the Core's belongings including his cockroach.

Once home, Patches and Peel count their booty while discussing the many problems they may encounter keeping a cockroach pet. As they agree to disagree, Death floats in through the skylight. Death warns them that he's there for a very specific reason: to take them to Hell.

In their many efforts to stop Death from the inevitable, Death makes a lasting impression on their kinship and home décor.

Unsatisfied with the feng shui of "Hell", Patches and Peel continue egging Death on until he finally gets fed up and leaves. Albeit clueless and uncertain of the reasoning of the whole ordeal, Patches and Peel walk away with nothing gained except for a "*Live, Laugh, Love*" poster. Death, on the other hand, is fired from his workplace at the Ministry of Trash.
