"Think he will honor his word?" Maze asked. "He better," Lucifer said. "He bloody well better."
Detective Chloe Decker was lying in bed, tossing and turning as sleep continues to evade her. The detective kept having dreams of a man named Lucifer Morningstar. It was the same one as before. They were making out on the couch in her home, and Lucifer whispered huskily in her ear that she belonged to him and no one else. Chloe in turn, replied in kind, saying that she is his as he is hers. Then the dream changed, and Chloe found herself standing in a spacious penthouse overlooking the city of Los Angeles. The detective took in the grandeur of the place and saw a grand piano near the elevator out of the corner of her eye and she vaguely remembered sitting beside the man that called himself Lucifer as they played "Heart and Soul." Chloe put a hand on her forehead as her subconscious mind showed snippets of memories that have been forgotten.
Meanwhile, God materialized and stood beside the detective's bed. He then put a hand on her forehead and closed his eyes. The detective stopped tossing and turning as she laid perfectly still as God proceeded to enter her dream. "Chloe, can you hear me?" God asked, his voice echoing through Detective Decker's mind. "God? Is that you?" Chloe asked as she looked all around the penthouse, trying to see if God is there.
"Yes, Chloe, it's me," God replied. "I have taken something away from you, and I regret doing so. I'm here to make it right." The Ruler of Heaven explained. "Taken what from me? What are you making right?" Detective Decker asked as waves of confusion washed over her. As soon as the words left the detective's mouth, God appeared out of nowhere and hurled a ball of yellow light toward Chloe's head. The light entered the detective's mind, and memories of one Lucifer Morningstar came rushing to the forefront.
Chloe began to remember meeting Lucifer for the first time. How she didn't believe him when he said that he was the Devil and the countless cases that they have solved together. He kept trying to sleep with her much to her annoyance and the witty banter that they had back and forth. She also remembered the time that Lucifer confessed his feelings for her that fateful night when Helias came to visit her and convinced her that Lucifer loves her. Everything that the detective ever did with the former Prince of Darkness came flooding back into her memory banks.
"I'm truly sorry for taking away your memories of my son," God said. "I had wanted to prevent him from falling in love with a human, but now I see that I was wrong. You care as much for him as he does you. I hope you can forgive an old man for trying to protect his son." The Lord of Heaven said, bowing his head in shame. "There's nothing to forgive, Your Almightiness," Chloe said. "You were just being a father who's trying to protect his son." The detective said with a small smile.
"Thank you, my dear Chloe," God said, smiling as well. "I hope that you and Lucifer will be very happy together." The Ruler of Heaven said as he turned back into a glowing ball of light and disappeared. "I hope so too," Chloe said to herself as she watched God leave. "I hope so too." Then suddenly, everything went black as Chloe woke up with a jolt. "Lucifer." The detective breathed. "I have to see Lucifer. I have to tell him that I remember him!" Chloe muttered as she got out of bed. The detective quickly dressed, being careful not to wake her daughter. She then grabbed her keys, making sure to lock the door for safety's sake. Chloe all but ran to her car and drove off toward LUX and her Lucifer.
Chloe finally remembers Lucifer! Wonder what his reaction will be when she arrives at the penthouse? Stay tuned for the conclusion of "Sudden Death"!
