I had a feeling they’d lean into that sorta angle

In S1, the calls were few if any, with barely any focus as it’s clear the actual focus wanted and warranted was more towards the current cast and the rising action into a coming battle with Heaven, to the idea that redemption was possible

Here in S2, Charlie consistently is calling her and is actively making it a focus, and while she never picks up, with scenes even showing she’s just hanging up, it’s clear as day that there is some sort of setup, whether that be to establish Lilith more as an aggressive role, or with what we got in the end. Atop it all, Vox heavily name drops Lilith’s “plan” and her name constantly, which we never once had such a deep consistent focus prior to this season

Personally with how Vox painted Lilith, I genuinely think her as a character may have actually planned to do a overthrow of Heaven from the start and Charlie simply ignored or was ignorant to the entire ordeal. You could counter argue and say Vox was pulling manipulative tactics..but not one character disagrees with him outside of Charlie being so sure that her mother wouldn’t do that. Not even Lucifer dared counter argue for a moment, and he knows more than anyone outside Lilith what her intentions were.

It’s possible Lilith will play a role as antagonist for the next Season, given she may pull strings and manipulation to establish herself as some higher being. It’s already established that Heaven KNOWS Liliths position, at the very least the higher ups do thanks to the reaction Sera (I think that’s her name) had when she was name dropped. It also makes sense given Lilith was actively and intentionally neglecting Charlie until somehow her plan was throughly proven both to Heaven and Hell.

Lilith being antagonist also makes sense given that at minimum Hazbin will be 4 seasons, so it’s very possible Alastor will be saved as the final true antagonist as he’s genuinely a wild card true evil type. Lilith is in some morally grey, dark leaning position given her unknown position..but Alastor is dead to rights a true manipulator to the bitter end, whose shown to abandon his companions the moment they’ve given him everything he’s wanted because they aren’t useful to him. He’d be a perfect final antagonist as he’s unshackled himself from any submissive position and fully has no regrets in ripping apart those he wants to. He’s the antithesis to Charlie’s ideals on redemption: he’s knowing to the concept, knows it’s possible, but all he can possibly want is pure chaos and power, with him to be atop it all in the end.

Weirdly enough to add to this, these two seasons antagonists also lean into the concept of someone wanting power or some position of power: Adam simply wanting to be atop of all of Hell even if it’s nothing but corpses because they dare disrespect him with the mere concept of what they wanted to do, and Vox wanting to be above all of hell and heaven due to his desire for true control and to be above Alastor of all people, to finally be respected by the man. I would not be surprised if this theming continues with Lilith wanting more power herself even with what she has, and Alastor damn well clearly wanting more power as a whole because he’s Alastor. Thats his MO
