"...Dance With the Devil, My Red-Eyed Son!"
We see a sequence where Daimon is called by a summons he cannot ignore by a mysterious robed character who turns out to be his mother, long thought dead. She brings him to Hell, explaining, as it is Christmas Eve, the one night each year when Satan sleeps. She calls him in the hope that he will embrace his heritage and make Hell a better place. It is, predictably, a trap to ensnare the Son of Satan, which he evades at the last minute. At the conclusion of the sequence, we see that it has all been a dream of Satan's as he slept Christmas Eve.
