Ep 6. You-ve Been Pre-Approved

Purgatony is a hilarious animated series that follows the daily work life of Tony Pergatelli who is a low-level angel working in Purgatory. In season 1 episode 6 titled "You've Been Pre-Approved," Tony gets a chance to prove his worth when he is handed a major promotion opportunity.

The episode begins with Tony feeling frustrated about his low-level job and lack of recognition. Suddenly, he is summoned by the CEO of Heaven Inc., Saint Peter. Tony is excited and nervous as he meets Saint Peter in person for the first time. Saint Peter tells Tony that he has noticed his hard work and dedication to the job and offers him a promotion. Tony is thrilled to hear that, but Saint Peter makes it clear that he has to prove himself worthy of the new role.

Saint Peter tasks Tony with handling a high-profile case where he has to redeem a corrupt businessman who has died and ended up in Purgatory. The businessman was involved in several illegal activities during his lifetime, and his soul is heavily weighed down by the sin of greed. As a result, he was sent to Purgatory, a place where souls go to be purified before being sent to Heaven.

Tony is determined to take up the challenge and prove his worth to Saint Peter. He visits the businessman's office, where he is introduced to the businessman's daughter, who is also a ruthless businesswoman. She is hostile towards Tony and questions his credentials. Tony is unfazed by her attitude and tells her that he is an angel sent to help her father.

Tony's strategy to redeem the businessman's soul involves a twist - he plans to pre-approve the businessman for Heaven. Tony believes that if the businessman is convinced that he has already been pre-approved for Heaven, he will behave in a more morally upright manner and eventually earn redemption.

Despite facing opposition from the businessman's daughter, Tony proceeds with his plan and starts creating a fake certificate of pre-approval for the businessman. He goes to great lengths to create a believable certificate, including getting it stamped by the "Pre-Approval Department" of Heaven Inc.

Tony shows the certificate to the businessman, who is initially sceptical but soon buys into the idea of pre-approval. The businessman starts behaving more ethically, which results in a positive change in his aura and soul weight. Tony is pleased with the progress and is confident that the businessman will eventually be worthy of Heaven.

However, Tony's plan hits a snag when the businessman's daughter discovers the fake certificate and threatens to expose Tony's scheme. Tony manages to convince her to keep quiet by promising her father's repentance and eventual redemption.

In the end, Tony's plan pays off, and the businessman's soul weight is reduced significantly. Tony is elated with the progress and presents him with the real certificate of pre-approval. The businessman is grateful to Tony and expresses his desire to make amends for his past mistakes.

"You've Been Pre-Approved" is a humorous and heart-warming episode that showcases Tony's competence and compassion. The episode highlights the importance of redemption and second chances, and demonstrates that even the most corrupt individuals can change for the better.
