Plot[]

107 Lucifer reminisces about leaving Hell

Lucifer reminisces about leaving Hell and landing on a beach.

At Lux, Maze beckons to a man who follows her upstairs and joins her in the penthouse hot tub and then she unexpectedly pushes his head underwater, holding him until Lucifer appears. Lucifer called him Sergei Bok and interrogates him about his stolen wings. Sergei says he knows nothing about them, and Lucifer suggests to Maze, "He's the fifth man we've accosted this week, perhaps we're, dare I say it, going about this wrong? It may be time to seek the help of a professional." He has Maze release Sergei before he drowns.

At the precinct, Dan tries to convince Chloe Decker to close her investigation on Malcolm, as Mrs Graham is about to remove him from life support.

Lucifer appears at Chloe's house while she's studying the Palmetto case at home, "Is this really what you do in your spare time? How fascinatingly morose." He tells her he needs her advice, and amazingly actually notices she is distressed and offers an ear. She explains how Dan wants her to drop the investigation, and she wants the truth. Lucifer says to find it, she needs no one's permission. In a turnabout she then advises him to find a fresh viewpoint on his problem, "someone who's not gonna be afraid to be honest... even if it's not what I want to hear."

Lucifer takes Chloe’s advice on finding a fresh pair of eyes in the form of his brother, Amenadiel. Unfortunately Lucifer’s brother, wasn't interested in helping, telling Lucifer, "You wanted free will. You wanted accountability. Well, fix your own damn mess, for once." Which sent Lucifer back to Chloe for her help, who says she will help if he tells her what it's really about. He finally admits that the stolen container had also held his angel wings, now missing. Chloe laughs, but says if it is that important to him, she will help, and put out an APB on the wings. Lucifer, in turn, agrees to help her with Palmetto, something Dan was already helping with.

At Palmetto Street, Chloe has Lucifer and Dan help her reconstruct the scene of the shooting. After running through the events, Lucifer points out, "It doesn't make sense...Aoudi would have no desire to kill Malcolm. Trust me, if there's one thing I know, it's desire. I mean, if Malcolm were indeed corrupt, he'd be Aoudi's golden goose,it'd be quite dumb to shoot him." Which raises the possibility someone else was there. Dan was then notified the FBI got a hit on Chloe's APB for angel wings.

After meeting an agent, he informs them the wings are to be auctioned, along with some other religion-based "antiques" and once Lucifer can prove provenance, he can have his wings back in 30 days. Lucifer, of course, instead, attends the auction where he discovers Amenadiel lurking, who tells Lucifer, "I came to ensure the wings get back where they belong.... They belong in the Heavens where they were created." Lucifer then gets into the auction by displaying his mysterious coin.

The auction host, Carmen Grant, is excited at the prospect of auctioning the coin after an expert's report, but Lucifer told him it is not for sale. When security draws their guns, and Amenadiel dares them to shoot, Lucifer smooths it over, saying he'll be bidding for the wings.

Amenadiel asks why Lucifer is suddenly afraid of guns, and the latter admits "...seems I'm dealing with a bit of a mortality sitch. Hence: ixnay on the unsgay." Amenadiel is pleased with the prospect, "all I have do is wait for some pitiful thug to end you and right back to Hell you go."

The first item for auction are chain links that supposedly held St. Paul. Amenadiel notes that Paul's wrists were too thick to fit into them, and Lucifer jokes about him being the saint of honey cakes, which amuses Amenadiel. Chloe then appears at Lucifer's side to warn him the FBI raid will be happening in five minutes. Lucifer then introduces her to Amenadiel, and they banter for a moment until Lucifer tells them it's unsettling to see them getting along. Carmen then reveals a set of angel wings, and a stunned Chloe breathlessly whispers that they are gorgeous. The FBI then raids the place, and Chloe spots Carmen slipping away, but finds he seems to have vanished into a brick wall.

At Lucifer's request, Amenadiel then slows time so that his brother could reach his wings before the FBI does. Upon approach, however, Lucifer realizes the wings are fake. Chloe finds a secret passage and the feds head into it. Lucifer is frustrated and angry and refuses to help Chloe further on her case, and tells Amenadiel "I'm afraid this is where I leave you, brother. What I'm about to do is the Devil's work."

The wrath of Lucifer.

Chloe and Dan return to Palmetto Street to check Chloe's theory, and discover a secret passageway with proof of an inside man from the LA police. Chloe pretends as if she is done with the case, even going as far as attending Malcolm’s wake to announce it to the rest of the precinct. The others seem to buy it, with Dan being the only one with the full story.

Lucifer tracks down Carmen at a house listed under an alias, where he has been sitting just looking at the wings. Lucifer enters, "I understand, perfectly. A lifelong atheist, you took one peek at the wings and something changed in you. The great white light was revealed and a believer was born, one who couldn't part with real divinity." He is then appalled to find his wings mounted for display, and in his fury tells Carmen they are his and demands to know who tipped him off about the wings.

Amenadiel then finds Lucifer on the beach, and tries to convince him to return to Hell, only to watch Lucifer burn his wings. "It was you, brother. You tipped Carmen off, and you orchestrated the theft....clearly you were desperate. I mean, you were willing to let a human die and unleash the wings upon the world just to remind me who I was. To fool me into desiring the wings and the hellish throne they accompany. Well, do you know what? It almost bloody worked." Amenediel then attacked his brother and Lucifer let him, encouraging him in his wrath, and to "fall as I did."

At an empty Lux, Mazikeen informs Lucifer she cleaned up his mess on the beach, and he tells her, "I truly hate to disappoint you, but... well, this is where I have to be now....and this isn't what you bargained for," but she tells him she is with him "until the end," they are a team. She retreats as Chloe comes in and speaks with Lucifer talk about their cases. Maze examines a small case which holds a single feather from Lucifer's wings.

At the hospital, the doctor pulls the plug on Malcolm, only for him to briefly flat-line before miraculously coming back to life. The hand on the door is revealed to be Amenadiel's.
