LatestBrief falls onto Hell's Gate and accidentally unlocks it with Hell's Monkey, unleashing a massive Ghost that begins destroying Daten City. Corset fights and kills Garterbelt and proceeds to merge with the Ghost and try to invade Heaven. Panty and Stocking find a credit card hidden in Garterbelt's afro and use it to buy a device that summons their mother, who seemingly destroys Corset and forces the Ghost back into Hell's Gate, which is sealed by Chuck. Garterbelt returns to life in order to continue watching over Panty and Stocking, who are forced to remain on the surface again due to maxing out his credit card. As soon as they return home, Stocking promptly slices Panty to pieces, revealing herself to be a demon working with Corset, who respawns from Brief's penis.
Panty and Stocking are nasty angels who were banished from the pearly gates for being foul-mouthed bad girls! Now they spend their days hunting ghosts in the lecherous abyss between Heaven and Earth. Panty likes sex, Stocking likes sweets, and their afro-sporting main man Garterbelt has a fetish we can't mention.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Every episode parodies a different Western cartoon—from PSG's art style mimicking Craig McCracken to action sequences ripped straight from '80s MTV animation.
Hiroyuki Imaishi directed this right before founding Studio Trigger; you can see the proto-Kill la Kill energy in every frame.
