Lucifer 605 — “The Murder of Lucifer Morningstar”
Just when things were starting to settle into a comfortable rhythm, the halfway point of the final season arrives with an emotional punch to the gut.
When Chloe meets Rory she reveals that if she’d had another daughter her name would have been Aurora, so Chloe believes Rory’s story that she’s her daughter from the future. What they can’t figure out is why Lucifer isn’t part of the picture. After going through the possibilities it seems more than likely that Lucifer was killed.
Lucifer goes into overdrive trying to figure out what happened because he can’t believe he’d abandon his daughter the way his father abandoned him. Chloe suggests that they do some detective work to solve the case. Lucifer believes that the only way he’ll truly be safe is if he takes Azrael’s blade back to heaven so that it can’t harm him, but Chloe stops him. Later they discover the blade has been stolen and Lucifer blames Rory. This leads to a counseling session with Dr. Linda where Chloe becomes more and more uncomfortable.
Chloe’s behavior has become more and more unhinged as the season plays out. She likes the power she has. She likes being able to defend herself, and she likes being able to keep up with Lucifer in the bedroom. The idea of losing her newfound power is unthinkable, so she gets into a brawl with Lucifer, who is utterly shocked by his beloved’s behavior.
“The Murder of Lucifer Morningstar” is a huge turning point in the season. Chloe is finally able to reunite with Dan, Rory has a chance to see her extended family and we learn that Ella is starting to put the pieces together about the Celestials she has been working with all these years.
Chloe gets to have the closure with Dan that she longed for. The emotion between them is palpable; anyone who has lost someone understands the power of this moment and how special it is to be able to say everything you’ve ever wanted to say to a loved one who has passed away.
Lucifer still doesn’t have answers, but Maze suggests that he stop thinking about things he can’t control and focus instead on how Rory feels. That’s the key. He needs to focus on his daughter and make up for lost time.
