(Season 2x09 = Homewrecker)
# After Lucifer and I told our mother off about returning to Heaven. It was in that moment I released two things. One, when Lucifer said 'this is my home', I've never heard him sound so serious before. And two, I've spent the last 500 years bouncing from one place to another and for the first time in years, I feel like I've found a real place to call home. I'm may live below my brother, but still.
# Even though Luci and I have already embraced Los-Angeles as our home, it was convincing Amenadiel and Mam that was the problem. Their trying to convince us into going back to Heaven and we're trying to convince them into staying with us. So, one lovely morning in the 'City of Angels' before work, Luci and I decided to take Amenadiel on a real tour of the city on one of them tour buses. Since he hasn't been here for as long as we have, it might just be enough to convince our Amenadiel into staying. Show him see what he might be missing if he leaves.
Lucifer, Amenadiel and Jophiel hopped on the tour bus, found a place to sit on the roof, at the back with Lucifer and Jophiel sitting in-between Amenadiel…
Hairstyle: Couple of strands tied back and clipped together with a pink/purple butterfly hairclip.
Top: Forest-Green, Sleeveless, Button-up blouse with Butterfly's printed.
Bottoms: Skinny, Dark-blue jeans.
Footwear: Light-Brown Wedge sandals.
Jewellery: Golden Butterfly wing earring's and necklace.
Dull Tour Guide: Sunshine, beautiful people, expensive cars, the glamorous life. Get ready to see the real Los-Angeles on this 'thrill ride tour.'
Lucifer: It appears we have been misled; whoever put together this brochure should get special treatment in Hell.
Jophiel: (sarcastically) Really, is there section in Hell for Dull Tour Guides who suck the joy out of innocent tourists.
Amenadiel: I don't need you two to show me around the city.
Lucifer: Of course you do. This is an exiting time brother, now that were making Los-Angeles our home. The 'City of Angels' can finally earn it's name.
Amenadiel: You, are making it a home. Mom and I are going to find away to get back to the Silver-City. One way or another.
Lucifer: But Why? When Los-Angeles has so much to offer.
Jophiel: Yeah, and since you and Mam don't know how to back to Heaven yet, you may as well pass the time by trying to get know the city. And who knows, you might enjoy it.
Lucifer: Well said Joei, Well said.
Tour Guide: On your right, You'll see the famous shop, 'Pooch Pouch'. The store that sells purses, for purse-sized dogs…
Amenadiel: (Sarcastically) Clearly.
Jophiel: Now Amenadiel, I'm sure this… Oh, who I am I kidding? I'm not sure rather to feel sad or tired. Or even both.
Lucifer: Right… (stands up and walks up to the front) Excuse me, sorry, sorry, apologies…. (finally gets to the tour and take's mic) yeah, thank you. Please, that's your corner. (turns to his siblings and the tourists) Right, forget everything you just slept through. Welcome to Los-Angeles, City of Reinvention…
(Amenadiel sits with his arms crossed, while Jophiel watches and Listens as their brother gives the tour)
Lucifer: Where you can become, whomever you want. If you look over here, that humongous house in the distance? The owner, he moved out here with just ten dollars and dream. Within three years, he was running the largest underground sex-club the county.
(tourist began taking photographs)
Los-Angeles is a place where you can 'do' whatever you want. To your right-hand side over here, this chronically challenged man, that's 'Sleepy Pete.' Hello Pete. (getting his attention) Give us a wave, give a wave for Pete…
(the tourists, Jophiel and Amenadiel gave a wave to Pete)
Lucifer: He will sell you the best Molly in the city. (Pete also waves to the people, but felt awkward and ran-away) But don't buy his cocaine, though. It's got enough baking soda to make a cake. It's not a bad idea, when I think about it.
Jophiel: I'm pretty sure I had I to draw him as a suspect yesterday.
Lucifer: To your right again, my nightclub, LUX. The city's crowning achievement. My Brother, Sister, and I are celebrating…
(Jophiel looked confused, then looked to her right and saw that Amenadiel was gone) (Jophiel and Lucifer looked over the bus and watched as Amenadiel walked in the opposite direction)
Jophiel: Well that was rude.
(Lucifer's Therapy session with Dr. Linda)
Lucifer: I don't understand it. Why won't Amenadiel embrace this city like Jophiel and I have?
Linda: Well people often need time to adjust to change, and he's only been here a few months. Jophiel, on the other hand, has been here for a, very, very, very long time.
Lucifer: Well, she's often stayed in Los-Angeles a few times over her years on earth. Until she decided to stay here permanently.
Linda: And as for Amenadiel, if what you say is true…
Lucifer: Whether he's got a stick so up his arse, you can see it when he yawns.
Linda: That he's a 'fallen angel'.
Lucifer: Oh, yes, that too.
Linda: Then this could be about more than finding a home for him, but were here to talk about you. Why did you recently decide that this your home.
Lucifer: Well, I said it when I was in a row with mum, I didn't release this was my home until I yelled it in her face.
Linda: Yes, your mother, who is a, literal 'goddess of all creation.' Still haven't quite wrapped my brain around that one.
Lucifer: Yes well, her and Amenadiel want to get back to the Silver-city, but, it's not my home, it never was.
Linda: And neither was Hell?
Lucifer: No, that was somewhere I was sent as a punishment. Like the DMV, but less screaming.
Linda: So would you say that, this is your 'first' home?
Lucifer: Yes, I suppose it is.
Linda: And why do you think that's the case?
Lucifer: Well, I don't know Doctor, you tell me.
Linda: I find that people who make Los-Angeles their home, for one of two reasons. Either their running from something or their looking for something.
Lucifer: Oh, and which one are you?
Lucifer: I'm not the one who's on the coach Lucifer. So ask yourself, Which is it? Running or looking?
While Lucifer was still figuring out the answer to Linda's question, he was working a case. The murder of a man named Dean Cooper. He was the Los-Angeles restate tycoon, he owned the same area LUX is on. He was also a very hated man for his rude and unpleasant personality.
Before the case could be investigated any further, Maze called Lucifer and Jophiel, told them to come back to LUX because of a problem.
(At LUX, Lucifer and Jophiel arrived to see a large group of people in coveralls and business suits)
Lucifer: Ah, hello, were closed.
Jophiel: What is happening here?
Lucifer: Maze, did you forget to bribe the inspectors this month?
Young man in a suit: Are you the proprietor?
Lucifer: I am yes, and who are you? Lounging around like you own the place.
Man in suit: Oh, I actually do own the place. Lucifer, Morningstar. Your being evicted. (shows the eviction notice)
Jophiel: WHAT!? Evicted? What do you mean a evicted? You can't just go around evicting people, especially ones who keep up with the rent.
Lucifer: (snatchers sheet) Alright, explain what you mean by 'evicted.' And do it carefully, as your life my depend on it.
Man in suit: Okay, Mr. Morningstar, my name is Eric Cooper. I've assumed all of Coopers holding in assets, LUX among them.
Lucifer: Your Dean Coopers son. Your father was just brutally murdered and here you are, scant hours after you were notified, divvying up the spoils. I don't know rather to be horrified or impressed.
Eric: What happened to my father was, unfortunate.
Jophiel: More like disgusted. He was found dead less then a hour ago.
Eric: Who are you?
Jophiel: I'm Jophiel Dina, I live here.
Eric: Do you have a lease or pay rent?
Lucifer: She's my sister. Those things don't really apply in 'my' home.
Eric: Yes, but business is business.
Lucifer: Well, impressed it is. Your father and I made a deal for me to live here, so I'm sure you and I come to some arrangement. Tell me, Eric; 'What is it you desire?'
Eric: I want my father to turn over in his grave.
Lucifer: Oh, hated the old man eh, well I can relate to that, my father's not on my Christmas card list either. In fact, I moved here to get away from him, surly you can understand that?
Eric: No, not really. And I saw your lease, it was written in lipstick on a strippers thong.
Jophiel: Of, Course it was.
Eric: Not exactly, 'legally binding.'
Lucifer: Hmm, well maybe we should we can write the new one in blood, I find that to be quite 'binding'.
Eric: Let's not, you have no legal right to be here, so if either of you don't vacate, I'll have you removed.
Lucifer: (chuckles) it's not that easy to remove me, last time it the 'power of God'. Why do you have, a few expensive lawyers? (walks towards a nervous Eric) Or are you going to do it yourself?
Maze: (knowing Lucifer was going to show his Devil-face, steps infront of him) Not infront of all of these humans. (turns to Eric) If I were you, I'd leave.
Eric: That's fine, this is a police matter now. (leaves along with his workers) Let's go.
Jophiel: Hey, good luck with the police, because 'we' work with them. (turns back to Lucifer and Maze) Well that went well.
Lucifer: (get's a drink from behind the bar while turning to Maze) It's not like you to get in the way of good obliterating Maze, what's the about?
Maze: You'd be obliterating to wrong person. This is your mothers doing.
Lucifer: Mum, how?
Maze: You both told her you want to stay on earth. Now someone is trying to take LUX away from you.
Lucifer: Don't be absurd Maze, I just saw American Psycho's father, the man wasn't destroyed by the 'goddess of creation' he was killed in a fit of human passion. That greasy weasel might be right, this is a police matter, lucky me. (looks for his phone)
Jophiel: Besides, this whole, 'our mother did it.' This is not her style Maze. Mam's plans are usually over-the-top, involving disasters and multiple deaths. Killing one human just to get us evicted, defiantly not her style.
Lucifer: My thought's exactly.
Maze: Don't act like your mother isn't capable of this Lucifer.
Lucifer: That's enough help from you today Maze, thank you. (calls Chloe)
Maze: Fine. If neither of you can see it, I'll find someone who will. (storms out)
Jophiel: Hold on, I'll follow you out. I have to get back to work anyway. See ya's Luci. (Lucifer is still on the phone, not noticing Jophiel walk out the door with Maze)
(Amenadiel's Office)
Amenadiel: I don't see it.
Maze: Of course you don't. So after you said you'd 'handle things', Your hiding behind her skirt, again.
Amenadiel: I am handling things Maze, Mom and I are trying to find a way back home, so why would she murder some human?
Maze: That woman is dangerous, duplicitous…. And she's standing right behind me, isn't she?
Charlotte: Pardon my interruption, but what am I being blamed for now?
Maze: I know what your doing, trying to take away Lucifer's home on earth. So he and Jo can help you get back to the Silver City. It won't work.
Charlotte: The demon is talking, but not making any sense. Difficult I suppose.
Amenadiel: She thinks you killed the man who owns LUX to get Lucifer and Jophiel evicted.
Charlotte: Mmh, Mazikeen, if I did come up with such a plan, do you think it would be you, who figure it out?
Maze: Whatever your up too, I will find out. (She's leaves the room)
Charlotte: Aw, she thinks she's smart.
Amenadiel: Mom? You weren't involved in that mans death, right?
Charlotte: Of course not. But, might be able to be used to our advantage. Maybe, Lucifer and Jophiel will agree to come home with us in Heaven now.
Amenadiel: Right…
Charlotte: All of my children are important. It isn't about Lucifer or Jophiel, it's about our family. I've already lost a son, I will not leave another one my children behind.
Amenadiel: It doesn't matter Mom, Lucifer loves that place, Jophiel has settled in and no human is gonna make either of them give it up, as long as it's still standing.
Charlotte: Is that so? (she then leaves, thinking…)
Within the last 24 hours, the first suspect in the 'Dean Cooper case' was his son Eric. Ella had found his fingerprints on the champagne flute that was used to kill his father. When Lucifer and Chloe went over to his office building to confront him, Eric had jumped out the window and landed on top of a car! He survived, but it didn't stop the L.A.P.D. from putting him on house-arrest while he heals and continuing to ask him and his fiancée Christine questions about the case.
As for Lucifer and Jophiel's eviction, things were about to take a turn for the worst. Eric revealed his family was in deep in debt, and after his father died, he sold all the properties to a woman named Eleanor Bloom. His father's potential buyer.
Afterwards, Lucifer and Chloe went over to her office building. Where she revealed her plans to tear down and rebuild every single one of Cooper's properties. Including turning LUX into a mega mall!
(Back at the precinct)
Hairstyle: Side French Braid + Black Lilly flower hair-clip
Dress: Green, Sleeveless, scoop-ruffle neckline, knee-length sundress + Black, skinny belt.
Jacket: Black-leather
Footwear: Black, ankle-length sling-back peep-toed boots
Jewellery: Gold rope-chain necklace with light-blue crystal + Sterling gold, light-blue, Flower Stud Earrings
Jophiel was helping Dan with a bombing case. She drew a sketch of the suspect and gave it to Dan. Afterwards, Lucifer called and told her the bad news about LUX.
Jophiel: (walking into the lab, unaware of Ella's presence and still on the phone) She's turning LUX into a shopping centre? What are we going to do? … NO! We're not doing that….. will make it Plan C then. Alright, talk to ye, later. See you at home, hopefully. (hang's up)
Ella: Problems at home?
Jophiel: You have no idea, it's one thing to evict us but to tear it down completely is another. Honestly, this whole thing can't be legal.
Ella: Hey, I'm sure everything will work out in the end, you just need to have a little 'faith.'
Jophiel: Well that, and a determinately stubborn brother. I know Luci is not going to quit so easily, and I won't either. It's just that, I made a choice, to officially stay here, so I could be with my family. I unpacked everything I kept in storage and made LUX my home too. The last I want, is to be homeless again.
Ella: Again? You were homeless?
Jophiel: I travelled a lot. So, there where moments, I had to… improvise on where I slept. It only happened, once, twice… or eight times.
Ella: Whoa, that's… Narley.
Jophiel: Well, around the second, third, fifth and seventh time I was homeless, it wasn't half bad. (get's a text from Lucifer) It's a text from Lucifer, he say's to come over to LUX right away. I better go, you want to come?
Ella: Oh, sorry, I'm swamped at the moment. Can't leave it.
Jophiel: Well, if you need help, just give me a ring, K. I'll see ya later.
Just as Jophiel was about to leave the precinct, she bumped into Charlotte.
Jophiel: Mam, What brings you here?
Charlotte: Oh nothing, just representing one my clients, who I'm sure will bring the 'house down' over at LUX tonight.
Jophiel: Mammy, if your planning something? Don't. Luci and I made it very clear, were not going back to Heaven.
Charlotte: oh, come on. Your telling me, you would rather stay here, then be at home with your own family? Your father or your brother and sisters.
Jophiel: Yeah, I told you, I left that part of my life behind.
Charlotte: Really? Then why are you still wearing the bracelet I gave you?
Jophiel: (shows her bracelet) Proof?
Charlotte: Proof of what?
Jophiel: Proof that you and the rest of my siblings were wrong. About earth and humanity and to remind myself why I chose to stay here. And there's nothing you can say or do that will change my mind. Or Lucifer's.
Charlotte: We'll see. (Jophiel and Charlotte then went their separate ways before meeting back at LUX)
# I'm not sure what my Mam is up too now, but I think I should keep an eye on her and one of her 'clients'.
(Over at LUX)
Lucifer was throwing a sit-in party, the more people that showed up, the better chance he had of saving his home. Even the moving crew joined in on the fun, along with Lucifer's family and friends. The only ones missing were Chloe, Ella and Dan, who were still working at the precinct.
When Charlotte arrived though, she looked, displeased. She then walked over to Amenadiel and Jophiel, who were having drinks by the staircase.
Jophiel: Hey, Mam, why the long face? This is a party.
Charlotte: This building was supposed to be empty.
Amenadiel: Oh you know Lucifer Mom, he wasn't going to let this place go without a fight.
Jophiel: Or a drink. This is what humans call a 'sit-in.' it's pretty amazing.
Amenadiel: What are you doing here?
Charlotte: Well, I was gonna blow up the building with C4.
Jophiel: (shocked) Mammy!
Amenadiel: (concerned) Mom you can't…
Charlotte: I know, my client is a coward, very difficult to convince him to kill this many people.
Amenadiel: No Mom, that's not what I…
Charlotte: I may be able to use this to my advantage. (she walks down the steps towards Lucifer)
# Remember earlier, when I said, the styles of my Mam's plans are usually over-the-top? Threatening to blow up a crowded LUX, is WAAAY over-the-top! Honestly, I don't know what to think of my mother right now. What's almost as worse is, Amenadiel and I got a taste of Maze's 'I told you so face.'
As the party continued with more drinking and dancing, it was briefly put on hold when a few police officers arrived to stop the illegal party.
Lucifer's AWWW! Stromtroopers have arrived everyone don't worry, I'll deal with the boys in blues. (speaks with the officers) You are the boys in blue aren't you? The strippers aren't due for another hour. (attempts to bribe one of the officers when Chloe arrived) Detective, what are you with them?
Chloe: I know him, I'll handle this
Officer: Are you sure Detective?
Chloe: I can reason with him, this doesn't need to be a scene. I got it.
Officer: Okay guys, lets go. (the uniformed then left)
# Well, looks like I'm going to be homeless again. Should be fine, sleeping under a bridge is actually quite nice around this time year.
Chloe: Thanks guy's. (turns to Lucifer, ready to drop the bomb on him) Lucifer, what the hell were you thinking? Turn the music back on, this party is dead.
# On second thought, SCREW THE BRIDGE!
Lucifer: OH, YOU HEARD THE LADY, CRANK IT UP!
Jophiel & party guests: *Cheering* (as the music started playing again)
Jophiel then walks down the steps towards Lucifer and Chloe…
Lucifer: Detective, does this mean your on my side now?
Chloe: Lucifer, this is your home, I've always been on your side.
Jophiel: Thank you so much Detective Decker. That was really cool.
Chloe: Thanks Joei.
Lucifer: Well, if your going stay, stay. (he then grabs her hand and drags her to the dancefloor)
Chloe: No, no, I don't wanna dance
Lucifer: Come on, you're the guest of honour now. Come on, come. on.
Jophiel: Go on, no one's stopping ye.
Chloe tried to resist, but instead she found herself dancing with Lucifer!
# I watched as Lucifer and Chloe danced together. It was so cute and adorable, and the 'way' they looked at each other, that's a look I know quite well. Not to brag, but when love is in the air, I know it. I'm a bit of a 'love detector.' And the alarms have been going off 'VERY' loud lately. All I can say is; beep, beep, Beep, Beep, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEPPP!
(A Long while later)
The party at LUX had quieted down, leaving the guests to either go home or pass out at the bar. As for Lucifer and the others, He, Chloe and Jophiel stayed at the bar, while Amenadiel, Maze, Linda and Charlotte left.
While Jophiel was sitting with Chloe, while Lucifer went to get himself another drink.
Lucifer: For a moment there, you were actually having fun Detective. (trying to get a drink from a passed out girl) Oh, obviously it was temporary and insanity, and now your back at work.
Jophiel: Well, fun while it lasted.
Chloe: Plus, any parent knows, the best time to get things done, is when everyone else is asleep.
Jophiel: I hear that. (drinking the last of her drink)
Lucifer: So, what do we got? (grabs a seat for himself and sits inbetween Chloe and Jophiel)
Chloe: I've been going through these payments to our professional tempter and none of them match up to the timing of any of Coopers new hire's. I just can't figure out, who they were investigating.
Lucifer: Riveting, but I meant what have we got to prevent my home from be bulldozed into a cinnabon?
Chloe: Lucifer I'm sorry, but that tricked I pulled last night is only gonna work once, I can't see another way to save this place.
Lucifer: Well, we need to look harder Detective. This is about more than me, would you know the history of sin in this place, it was an institution of decades before I ran it. (point's to a crack) That crack in that mirror there, the crack is still there from when Ava Gardner threw a scotch glass at sinatra's head. (point's to the floor) Underneath here, there's probation tunnels everywhere, Howard used to use them to sneak his mistresses away from his other mistresses. (points to Chloe) And that stool your sitting on, that very stool Detective, may disturb and titillate you….
Chloe: (quickly get's off the stool) We have to go see Simon Hall Brooks again, I think I know who he had Cooper looking into.
Lucifer: Well I'm sorry, but I can't leave LUX undefended.
Chloe: Really? Okay, Eleanor Bloom's entire moving crew is passed out on your floor, the police aren't going to be here for at least another day, LUX is fine. I really need your help here.
Jophiel: Go, I can hold the fort, just in case.
Lucifer: You sure?
Jophiel: This isn't my first sit-in. Go.
With a new lead in the case and with LUX being protected by Jophiel, Lucifer and Chloe left. Eventually, Lucifer and Chloe found their killer, Dean Cooper's future-daughter-in-law Christine. Dean hired a professional Homewrecker named Simon to created fake pictures of Christine cheating and used them to blackmail her into leaving his son. However, when Lucifer and Chloe went to confront her about it, Eric took the fall, but in the end, it was both Eric and Christine who took the fall for the murder.
After the case was closed, Lucifer came back to LUX and 'sent' everyone home. Wanting to say 'goodbye' to LUX on his own. As for Jophiel, after Lucifer told her about his decision to leave and find a new place, Jophiel was already upstairs, looking up available buildings that would make a good place to build a new nightclub/place to live on her laptop. When she found a possible place, she went downstairs to get Lucifer's opinion. When she came down, she overheard Lucifer and Chloe talking…
# I heard Chloe tell Lucifer that LUX is now labelled, a heritage site by the Los-Angeles County! Meaning that the building can't be demolished and Luci and I can stay! It was 'truly' an incredible thing, Chloe did for Luci. What was equally incredible was when Lucifer asked Chloe out on a 'date'. I swear, after hearing their conversation, I rushed back into the elevator, closed the doors, just so I could SQUEAL LIKE A SCHOOL GIRL!
# My brother, the Devil, is going to have dinner, with a woman he truly cares about. I can't wait to see what happens next.
(Hi readers, hope you enjoyed my story. This is one of my favourite episodes from season 2. If you like what you read, please comment/review. And tell me, what you think of Jophiel and her fashion sense. (optional)
