Lucifer wanted to celebrate for his recent good fortunes: the prophecy won't be fulfilled and his reunion with Carlos as his son. And Carlos agreed to have a celebration as now they can act like father and son with each other. Lucifer set up a party at Lux. Carlos performed the music and he set up a song where Lucifer was playing on the piano and occasionally singing along and Carlos was singing/dancing around the club to the song,

Burning through the sky

There's no gravity

Hunger in my eyes

Ain't no stopping me

Can't bring me down

I guess it goes around

Heart over my head

Back against the wall

I'm 100% and not afraid to fall

I risk it all

When it comes to call

Tell me now did I get your attention?

Did you get the answer to your question?

Everybody cries

But not today, not today

'Cause I won't let ya

Everybody dies

But not today, not me

'Cause I've never been better

I'm still on my feet

The world can't knock me down

'Cause I won't take defeat

I'm still chasing the crowd

But I'm still around

Look who's winning now

Tell me now did I get your attention?

Did you get the answer to your question?

Everybody cries

But not today, not today

'Cause I won't let ya

Everybody dies

But not today, not me

'Cause I've never been better

All together

Never been better

All together

I've never been better

I've never giving up

No such thing as enough

I keep on winning

Just beginning to get all that I want

Nothing can hold me back

'Cause I'm not made for that

I'm always good but I've been better lately

Everybody cries

But not today, not today

'Cause I won't let ya

Everybody dies

But not today, not me

'Cause I've never been better

All together

Never been better, c'mon

All together, whoah!

I've never been better

Everybody cries

But not today, not today

'Cause I won't let ya

Everybody dies

But not today, not me

'Cause I've never been better

C'mon all together

Oh, I've never been better

C'mon, all together

I've never been better

The party lasted all night and it seemed to go into the next day as Lucifer and Carlos, along with Dude, went to LAPD to find Chloe. Lucifer strode into LAPD with a big smile on his face and Carlos followed behind him. Lucifer sat on Chloe's desk, who said, "You're in a good mood." Lucifer replied, "Well, the world will not be destroyed because I forgave myself, and I discovered Carlos was my son and I accepted him as such, so I'd say that's a pretty darn good day for me, Carlos, and all mankind for that matter, so you're welcome." Chloe nodded, "So, it's all totally gone? The red skin, the devil wings. No more flare-ups?" Lucifer chuckled, "It's not hemorrhoids, Detective." Chloe replied, "Right, yeah, sorry. I just don't know how the whole thing works just yet, but, maybe you should take some time off, rest up until you feel yourself again. Spend some time with your son." Lucifer said, "That won't be necessary. The resting bit. I've never been better. But I am going to make up for lost time with Carlos. Continue training. Which now includes flying lessons." "Awesome," Carlos commented. "And besides," Lucifer continued, "Kinley's still on the loose." "Yeah," Carlos agreed. "I can find him with my mirror to help out." "Thank you for the offer," Chloe said. "But the US Marshals are in charge of the search now, so nothing left to do on our end." Lucifer asked, "What about a case then? There must be a jolly good murder to solve. First one as father/son consultants." Chloe shook her head, "No, so like I said, maybe you should take a moment, recover, spend time with Carlos. You know, you've been through a lot." "She does have a point, Dad," Carlos commented. Lucifer sighed, "Alright. Well, call me if anything pops up. Or falls down, rather." Chloe nodded, "OK. Yeah, I will, but I've got it covered." Lucifer nodded then said to Carlos, "Why don't we stop by to see Linda now that she had her baby? You have a cousin now, after all." "Sure," Carlos replied. "I would love to meet him."

Meanwhile, Eve was trying to cover up the bloody mess she made when she killed Kinley. She had sent the demon to go find Lucifer, even though she warned him about Carlos. She was placing a mat over the blood stain when she heard Maze knocking on the door, "Eve! Will you let me in?" Eve shouted, "Is that Maze? What are you doing here?" Maze banged on the door, "Well, I live here. What are you doing? Can you open the door? I have to get Kinley back to jail. It was a mistake letting him out. Open the freaking door, Eve!" Maze used her strength and busted the door open. Eve turned around, "Hey. What's up?" "Where's Kinley?" Maze asked. Eve replied, "Right. He left." "What happened?" Maze demanded. Eve answered shakily, "He attacked me. It was so scary. He's this big, scary, bearded priest man. I went down to unchain him, you know, so he can go to the bathroom and he tried choking me. Look, see?" She showed the marks on her neck and Maze said, "I'll go get him." "No!" Eve shouted. "Why not?" Maze asked. "Well," Eve replied. "Because I realize I don't need him anymore. You know, I thought about what you said. I need to accept that Lucifer doesn't have any feelings for me." Maze huffed, "Well, good for you." Maze and walked away but Eve said, "Wait, are you OK? I thought you were on my side." Maze sighed, "I was." She walked out and closed the door behind her. Eve sighed as she said, "Doesn't matter. That demon better find Lucifer quick."

At the hospital, Lucifer and Carlos entered and Carlos used his persuasion powers to lie that Dude was his emotional support dog so Dude could also enter the hospital. They were introduced to Charlie and Amenadiel handed Charlie to Lucifer, "Now just….you've got to support the head. Charlie, say hello to Uncle Lucy!" Lucifer took Charlie and held him in his arms. He felt a little uncomfortable, but then he looked over at Carlos and said, "I wish that I held you at this stage." Carlos sighed, "It's OK. I already forgave you. And I can see that you're uncomfortable. Here, I can take him from you." Carlos took Charlie and held him in his arms, "Hey, Charlie. I'm Carlos, your cousin." Lucifer smiled softly at the sight, then cleared his throat and said, "I'll just go and see Linda now." Lucifer turned to walk to Linda's room, but Amenadiel stopped him, "Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something. OK, you see, recently, I've made a decision about my son. And even though, in my heart I believe it's right, I know it's gonna be painful." Carlos' ears perked up at that as Lucifer said, 'Oh, right, that. Well, 79% of American boys are circumcised so he'll be in the majority if you do, however, it does reduce sensation by about 32.8%, according to Dr. Oz. But just weigh up the options, snip it or skip it, I'm sure it'll be dandy." Carlos chuckled at that as he walked over and handed Charlie back to Amenadiel, "Oh, I'm sure Amenaidel will make the right choice for that." Lucifer nodded and walked to Linda's room as Amenadiel said, "Lucy, goodbye." That statement confused Carlos, but Lucifer shrugged and walked into Linda's room.

Amenadiel walked around with Charlie and whispered, "Silver City, here we come." Carlos heard that but before he could say anything, a nurse walked up and Amenadiel mistakenly said, "Oh, no, no. You're not doing that to my son." The nurse sighed, "Well, I'm sorry, but it is mandatory. Every newborn gets an infant tracker." "Excuse me, a what?" Amenadiel asked. "It's a security device," the nurse explained. "It's a little anklet that causes a ruckus if anyone takes him from the ward. So you can rest assured that your little angel is safe and sound." She took the baby from Amenadiel and walked away, leaving Amenadiel thinking to himself, while Carlos thought, "I am going to have to keep an eye on him." He looked down at Dude and whispered, "Keep an eye on Amenadiel. He's up to something." "Roger that," Dude whispered.

Meanwhile, Lucifer handed Linda her gift as she said, "Lucifer, you shouldn't have. But thank you." She opened it to find a journal as Lucifer explained, "It's not for the baby. It's for you. It's Sigmund Freud's personal journal. It's just a small token to commemorate the end of my therapy." Linda asked, "Wait, what?" Lucifer chuckled, "Sorry, bury the lead. I'm cured. Isn't that wonderful? You see, I've forgiven myself. For blaming myself for many things, including not being there for Carlos. And you know, since you had a small hand in that, I thought credit where credit's due. Thank you, doctor." Linda sighed, "And you know you're cured because?" Lucifer laughed, "Well, because I've got all my devil bits under control again. See? Alabaster from head to toe." "What does Chloe think about all this?" Linda asked. Lucifer sighed, "She thinks I might need a little R&R, and quality time with my son, but overall, I'd say she's as pleased as I am. Anyway, I guess that's it. Oh, enjoy your child. As I will with mine, properly this time. And have your son ring me when he's old enough to go to strip clubs. I would take Carlos, but he has to wait a few years." He opened the door, but Linda interrupted, "I have to tell you. Forgiving yourself, it's not as easy as you think. It doesn't happen overnight." Lucifer sighed, "I'll think about that. But for now, bye." He closed the door behind him and walked over to Carlos, "Come on. Time to start those flying lessons." "Cool," Carlos said as they walked out, Dude trailing behind them.

Chloe, Dan, and Ella were at a new crime scene as a rapper was murdered and they were watching his last video update, "OK, listen up. It's your boy, Holla Bae, live. And I'm about to shock the hell out of all of ya. I've got a guest coming up into the studio. You know him. And you hate him. No, I'm playing. Y'all love him. I used to hate him. But we're going to make an announcement about my tour kicking off tomorrow night at The Mayan and we're going to end all that. Me and this dude had some real trouble in the past. But we're going to squash all of that now. Stop beefing. And let's start getting to this money!" He heard a knock on the door and opened it, and a hand shot up and stabbed him in the heart, and he fell down dead.

Ella pulled her tablet away and said, "Gnarly, right?" "Where's Holla's body?" Dan asked as the body was missing. "No idea," Ella answered. "The killer must have taken it. Hence the big old bloody shoe prints." "That's a lot of blood," Chloe commented. Ella nodded, "About five pints. This, my friends, is a class four hemorrhage. So wherever Holla is, he dead." "I know who did it," Dan said. "Based of what Holla said in that video. The guy coming over was obviously going to be…" "Monopolize," Ella answered. Dan nodded in agreement as Chloe asked, "Who's that?" Ella was shocked, "You've never heard of the Mo-Holla squalla?" Chloe shook her head as Dan said, "Well, he's a rapper. Monopolize." They started to rap one of Monopolize's songs but Chloe said, "I've never heard of that." Dan explained, "He accused him of killing his BFF, Fat Cannon." Ella added, "Nothing's ever been proven, but still, biggest beef since Biggie and Tupac." "Oh," Chloe replied.

Suddenly they heard pounding on the glass next to them, as they were in a recording studio, and saw Lucifer shouting, "Detective! Detective! Why didn't you call me?" Carlos then walked into the room and said, "Sorry. He insisted on coming. I couldn't persuade him otherwise. Dads, you know?" Chloe sighed as Dan and Ella went, "What?"

Chloe pulled Lucifer outside and Carlos followed behind. Dude stayed behind at Lux as he wanted to take a nap. Chloe was not happy, "I told you, you need a break. Spend some time with Carlos." "I have been," Lucifer said. "I gave him his first flying lesson." Carlos nodded, "It's true. Went out on the balcony and we flew above the clouds for a bit. It was awesome. Now I can fly with Mal during her dragon flights. Or maybe with Jane as I think her fairy wings came in recently." Chloe was puzzled by what Carlos said, but shook her head as Lucifer continued, "I told you everything is under control." Chloe sighed, "For now. But how do you know it won't come back?" Lucifer smiled, "It won't. Trust me. Look, I promise You'll never have to see anything monstrous ever again. And even if that happens, which it won't, I will protect you and Carlos. No matter what."

What the trio didn't know was that there were two people watching them, Kinley and Holla, actually the demons that now occupied their bodies. And they were planning on getting their King back.

Chloe drove Lucifer and Carlos over to Monopolize's manager's house as Lucifer revealed that they flew over, as part of Carlos' flying lessons. They arrived and got out as Lucifer commented, "Lifestyles of the rich and tasteless. Looks like Liberace had a yard sale." "Yeah," Chloe replied. "Well, Mo's manager, Issac, lives here. Looks like he's home. Maybe Mo's here too." Lucifer tried to open the gate, but Carlos said, "Dad, let me." Lucifer nodded and backed away. Carlos raised his hand and the gate opened. "How did you do that?" Chloe asked. Carlos smirked, "I just mentally commanded the gate to open. I have a thing with technology." "OK," Chloe replied. "So you persuaded it to open. Can you mentally command people then?" Carlos shook his head, "That has to be verbal. Since no matter how powerful technology and other things could get, humans will always be better." Lucifer smirked at that comment.

Suddenly gun shots were heard as they were being fired on. Lucifer and Chloe ran for cover, but Carlos turned around and commanded, "Stop shooting us. Come out where I can see you." Two people, Mo and Issac, walked out as their bodies obeyed Carlos' command. Carlos turned and said, "See? It has to be verbal." Chloe stood up and shouted, "LAPD!" Lucifer stood up as well as Mo said, "LAPD? Why did you say so? And what's up with the kid? How did he do that?" "Trade secret," Carlos answered. "Along with my gate?" Issac asked and Carlos nodded.

Mo and Issac invited the trio in and Mo said, "I apologize for shooting at you. Seriously. I'm not a violent man." Chloe replied, "Well, the Desert Eagle that you just opened up on us says differently." Issac came out of the kitchen and offered Hot Pockets, Lucifer declined while Carlos took one and started to eat it. Mo then explained, "Look, Holla and I had conflict. But we were about to bury the hatchet, supposed to meet up this morning to announce we're dropping a joint album and tour." "Instead, he was the one who got dropped," Lucifer said. Issac sighed, "Come on, Mo. You tell then what you told me. Speak the truth, bro." Mo explained, "Sorry, look, this is going to sound crazy, but Holla isn't actually dead." "Well, that's impossible," Chloe replied. "Forensic says he's dead." Mo shook his head, "I don't care what they say. I'm telling you, I was walking to the studio and I see a man dressed in leather in the doorway. I see his hands all bloody, so I back up quick. Then a few seconds later, Holla comes out, all bloody and shit with a knife sticking out of his chest. He was happy as a goddamn lamb." "Clam," Issac interrupted. "It's clam, bro. And tell them what you told me about the car. That's pretty whack too, right? Didn't you say they got in a pizza delivery car or some shit?" Mo nodded, "Pazo Papollo's Pizza." "Right," Lucifer replied. "Puff a bit of this before you left, did you?" Mo sighed, "A little bit. But I swear I ain't lying." Chloe said, "We're going to need you to come down to the station to verify your story." "Gladly," Mo agreed. "Safer there than out here."

They took Mo to the police station and Chloe was at her desk typing at her computer when Ella called out, "Hey guys." Lucifer and Carlos walked over as Ella pulled out her tablet, "So I've been monitoring social media for any mention of Holla, and a fan just posted this. Look at this." She showed a picture of Holla getting out of a car recently and Chloe commented, "Looks like Monopolize was telling the truth." "Yeah," Ella agreed. "Can you say "Hashtag fake death," "Hashtag publicity stunt"." "What?" Lucifer asked. "So the whole thing's a hoax? No murder?" "Does that mean case closed then?" Carlos asked. "We've still got to find Holla," Ella explained while Chloe noticed someone else in the photo and realized it was Kinley, and Carlos noticed her noticing this. "No, yes," Chloe said. "Yep, correct. Case closed. So you should probably head home, Lucifer, because no victim, no case. You too, Carlos." Lucifer sighed, "Oh, very well. I suppose there'll be another murder tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Come on, Carlos." Lucifer walked away while Carlos leaned down and whispered to Chloe, "I know what you saw. I'll keep an eye on him. Please be careful." Carlos leaned back and walked after Lucifer.

Later that night, Chloe went over to the church where Father Kinley previously was. She went in looking around for signs of Kinley or Holla and she heard a noise and pulled her gun out. She walked around quietly then felt someone behind her. She turned and saw Maze standing there and asked, "What are you doing here?" "I was tracking Kinley," Maze answered. "Thought for sure he'd be here, but now the trail's gone cold. Now you." "I'm on a case," Chloe replied. "A dead rapper. Well, not dead now, it seems. But a witness told us this crazy story that he saw the victim with a knife in his chest. I have no idea what's going on." "Wait," Maze said. "Dead, then not dead. I think I do."

Meanwhile, Carlos was with Lucifer in the penthouse as Lucifer was getting ready to go down to the club and Carlos was looking for Kinley and Holla with the mirror, but no results. Lucifer came out of the bedroom and said, "Come on. I know you have a musical gig coming up in a few minutes." "I canceled it," Carlos said. Lucifer looked at Carlos, "Why?" Carlos sighed, "I wanted to go visit Linda and Amenadiel. Your brother is up to something and I want to make sure that Linda and Charlie are OK. Plus I want to spend some time with my new cousin. Only for a little bit, then I will come right back here." "OK," Lucifer said. "Since I know that Amenadiel wants to take Charlie to the Silver City. Maybe you can convince him otherwise." Carlos stood up and said, "But there's something you should know. I tried to use Evie's mirror to find Kinley and Holla, but nothing. I don't understand why that is. This mirror can find anyone." Lucifer looked worried for a second, but shook it off and said, "Maybe it's glitchy. Look, I will keep my eyes out for anything strange. Just get to Linda's house safe and back here safe. OK?" Carlos nodded, "I will. In fact, I am going to fly over. Oh, and Dude is still in the guest suite. I'll take him for a walk when I get back." Lucifer nodded as Carlos ran out to the balcony, unfurled his wings, and flew off. Lucifer smiled and said, "That's my boy."

Lucifer went down to the club and went straight to the bar to get a drink when he heard someone yell, "Lucifer!" He turned and saw Kinley, wearing a leather jacket and pants, run over and pull him into a hug and said, "We've missed you so damn much." Lucifer shouted, "Put me down!" Kinley backed up and then kneeled on the floor and said, "Forgive me, my king. It's just so great to see you." Lucifer pulled the man to stand and realized, "Dromos?" Dromos smiled and said to Holla, "You see, Squee? I told you he'd recognize me." Lucifer realized that Dromos was now in Kinley's body and Squee was in Holla's body. "That's why Carlos' mirror didn't work," Lucifer muttered. "Because the mirror can't find those who have died." Dromos heard that and turned around as Lucifer asked, "What are you doing here?" Dromos smiled, "We're here for you, of course. To help you get back home."

Back with Maze and Chloe, Chloe asked, "So you're saying there are two murderous demons on the loose in LA?" Maze nodded, "Yeah. And one appears to have entered Kinley's body." Chloe replied, "And they, or you can just jump into a human's body whenever you want?" "No," Maze explained. "The body has to belong to a dead, doomed soul or a demon wouldn't know where or when there was a recent vacancy." "So someone killed Kinley," Chloe realized. "At least I don't have to worry about him hurting Lucifer anymore." "No," Maze replied. "But whatever demon's taken over his body better be worried. Lucifer's going to be pissed. He banned possession years ago." Chloe said, "Well, something's clearly changed."

Back at Lux, Lucifer was sitting opposite of Dromos, who had girls sitting all around him, and Squee was standing nearby. Dromos started to explain, "So there I am, hanging in Hell, popping out eyeballs like any other Tuesday, and this priest, he just shows up on my docket." A girl next to him interrupted, "Is this one of those "priest walks into a bar" jokes? I love them." Dromos continued, "Dude was boring. I mean, all he kept saying way, "Prophecy this, prophecy that. I've got a stupid accent. Makes me sound like a pirate. Argh!" Anyway, he says that he needs help getting you back to Hell, so of course, Dromos, ever loyal, I did not hesitate. I came straight here to answer your call."

Lucifer chuckled, "Of course. This is Kinley's hail Mary. His final attempt to subvert the prophecy by tricking me into returning. Voluntarily! Well, it's an admirable plan, but he needn't have bothered. I've just beaten the prophecy on my own. Besides, no way in Hell I'd ever return to, well, you know.." Dromos was confused, "Lucifer. You've been on vacation forever. You didn't write, you didn't call. You didn't even send a burnt offering. The demons of Hell, they need a king." Lucifer sighed, "Very well. Dromos of the Lilim, by the power of Grayskull, blah-di-blah-di-blah, I hereby name you King of Hell. There you go. Throne's all yours." Dromos sighed, "Yeah, that's really funny. But we all know that the king, he needs to be an angel." Lucifer sighed, "Fair point, yeah."

Dromos then said, "Lucifer, Hell has been really bad since you left." "Oh," Lucifer said. "That's a shame, because it was a real vacation destination before." Dromos asked, "What's so great about Earth, anyway?" "Well," Lucifer explained. "No offense, but the company's far greater, the work more interesting, and the liquor far superior. And I've just become an uncle and someone needs to teach my nephew about sex, because my brother's certainly not capable. And Carlos, he is his own special category. So, back to Hell you go, it seems. Those eyeballs won't pop themselves out."

Lucifer stood up and Dromos did as well. "Alright," Dromos said. "I think we might stay for a little bit. I've never tortured a live one." Lucifer's eyes glowed red as he pressed Dromos back into the chair and hissed, "You will not lay a hand on anyone. You're lucky I haven't incinerated you already for disobeying my orders. No more possession. Time for all good demons to go home. Now." Dromos smirked, "Yes, my lord." Lucifer released him and walked away. Dromos stood up and nodded to Squee, who nodded and grabbed the girl who was sitting next to Dromos and pulled her toward the exit. Dromos walked out and met Squee at the girl's house as Squee forced her to take him there. Dromos walked in and saw that Squee had just killed the girl and a demon took over her body. "Excellent," Dromos said. "Our numbers are rising." "What about Lucifer?" the demon girl asked. Dromos shook his head, "He won't return. So now we need a new king on the throne. And I have the perfect candidate." "What about the boy?" Squee asked. Dromos sighed, "Eve told us that he was trouble. We saw him around with Lucifer earlier. But he wasn't there in the club. We will keep our eyes out for him."

Over at Linda's house, Linda was rocking Charlie to sleep when she heard animal noises. She turned to see Amenadiel and she asked, "What is that?" Amenadiel held up his phone and said, "Arias of the humpback whale. Isn't it amazing? And perfect for a nice, relaxing bath, which I've just drawn you, so if you wouldn't mind handing little Charlie over to me…" Linda interrupted, "You know, I'm good. Thank you though." Amenadiel turned off his phone and said, "Linda, you'll have to put him down at some point. Your arms will atrophy." Linda chuckled, "I suppose you're right. I could use a nap. Or maybe I should feed him again. Or get him another blanket. Or take this blanket off. How do you know what temperature babies like when they can't talk? OK, I admit I could be a little bit helicopter-y, but I mean, I just love him so much. I just spent so much time worrying. But you were right. We've got this. And we're going to give him a beautiful life, aren't we?" "Yeah," Amenadiel sighed, as her words were starting to get to him as he was now rethinking his plan of taking Charlie to the Silver City. Linda handed Charlie to Amenadiel, "Here we go, dada. Oh, you know what? I almost forgot. I hired a night nurse. Her name's Kin and she'll be here any minute. So we can both get some rest."

They heard a knock on the door and Linda stood up to answer it and saw Carlos on the other side, "Carlos. How nice to see you." "Hey," Carlos replied. "I am sorry to bother you this late but I wanted to see how you and Amenadiel are doing. Along with seeing my baby cousin." Linda smiled, "Of course. Come on in." Carlos walked in and Amenadiel stood up with Charlie in his arms. Linda then said, "Here, why don't we sit?" Linda and Carlos sat down while Amenadiel walked around rocking Charlie. Linda asked, "How are you doing, Carlos?" Carlos smiled, "Good. I am happy that Lucifer finally accepted me as his son. And it's nice to finally have a dad in my life now. You know, have a parent that cares about me." Amenadiel stilled at that as Linda replied, "Of course. I know that your life with your mother wasn't the best, so I wish you all the best with Lucifer. Even if he can be, well you know." Carlos chuckled, "Yeah. I did want to ask you something though." Linda nodded and Carlos asked, "Since Amenadiel is my uncle and Charlie is my cousin, is it OK if I call you Aunt Linda?" Linda started to tear up and Carlos panicked, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean…" Linda hugged Carlos and said, "Of course you can call me that. I would be honored." Linda pulled away and said, "I am going to take that bath Amenadiel set up for me. Amenadiel, why don't you let Carlos hold Charlie for a bit?" Carlos stood up and said, "Thank you. I just be here for a little bit as I know you two need rest." Linda chuckled, "That's fine. I have a night nurse named Kim coming really soon to let us have a break." Amenadiel handed Charlie over to Carlos as Linda walked out of the room.

Carlos rocked Charlie and whispered, "Hey, baby cousin. You are going to be so loved and protected. I will make sure that you will have a great childhood." Amenadiel sighed, "I am sure that he will, Carlos." Carlos looked up and said, "By taking him to the Silver City? I know what you are planning. And I don't agree with it. How would Linda react to that? She'll be heartbroken." Amenadiel sighed, "I know. But Charlie will be protected up there. From the horrors of humanity down here." Carlos replied, "There are horrors everywhere, Uncle Amenadiel. I grew up in them. But keeping Charlie away from his mother is not right. I know that my mother was, well horrible, but I know that Linda won't be. If you do this, no one will forgive you."

Linda came walking back out, "Is everything OK?" Amenadiel smiled, "Everything's fine. I am actually going to go take a walk. Get some fresh air. I'll be back later." Amenadiel walked out of the house and Linda asked, "Is he OK?" "Just stressed," Carlos lied. Linda sighed, "He always is." They heard a knock on the door and Carlos handed Charlie back to Linda and said, "Why don't you let me get that?"

Linda nodded and Carlos walked up to the door and opened it, revealing the demon girl in a nurse's outfit. "Hello," the demon girl said. "I'm the night nurse. I am here to watch over Charlie." Carlos instantly got bad vibes and asked, "And your name is?" The demon girl smiled, "I'm Lily." That confirmed it for Carlos as he said, "Thanks, but we actually called to cancel. I'm sorry that you didn't get the memo." Carlos tried to close the door, but Lily held the door open and pushed Carlos back a few feet, "I see that nothing gets past you." Carlos took some steps back and said, "Linda, take Charlie and lock yourself in a safe room." "But Carlos," Linda argued. Lily hummed, "So you're Carlos. The one that we were warned about. The one that Lucifer said was special. Now, you are going to give me that baby either the easy way or the hard way."

She started to charge in, but Carlos stopped her by grabbing her arm and throwing her across the room. Lily got up quickly and tried to ran to Linda and Charlie, but Carlos' eyes glowed red and he commanded, "You will not take Charlie!" Lily felt her body stop moving as Carlos turned to Linda and shouted, "Get Charlie out of here. Now!" Linda ran into the bedroom and locked the door as Lily turned to Carlos and said, "There is something special about you. You have the gift of persuasion. Why is that?" Lily grabbed a kitchen knife and charged into Carlos as Carlos quickly grabbed a fire poker and the two started to fight each other. Lily held him down at one point and Carlos used his powers and a chair flew across the room and hit Lily head on. Lily chuckled, "And you can command the inanimate with your mind. Good to know." She charged in again and Carlos was defending himself. They were both evenly matched until Lily grabbed Carlos by the collar and threw him across the room, his mirror falling out and landing on the floor near the window and his necklace was ripped off by Lily during the throw. Because of that, Carlos' hair turned back to its natural white with dark roots. Lily looked down at Carlos and said, "I smell magic on this ring. Interesting. That's why you smelled strange. But now I smell something else on you. I smell….celestial. Just like on the baby." Linda came charging out of the bedroom and said, "Carlos, are you OK?" Carlos nodded and said, "Linda, get out of here." as he tried to get up and Lily said, "Maybe I can just take out the human mother and take the baby with me." Carlos stood up off the ground and said, "That baby is my family." He unfurled his angel wings and growled, "And you will not harm him!" Lily's eyes widened and whispered, "The heir to the throne."

Carlos felt someone behind him put their arm around his throat and his wings disappeared as he struggled to breathe. Lily smirked and said, "I had this, Dromos." Dromos smiled and said, "It didn't look like it. So I thought I would come in and help out." Squee appeared behind Linda and held her arms behind her back and said, "We got them subdued. Now we can take the baby." Dromos smirked as Carlos struggled in his arms and the demon said, "No. We don't need the baby anymore. As Lucifer didn't tell us that he has an heir. So now we have something greater than the baby: we have the King's son. And he will make a great ruler of Hell." Carlos struggled to say, "I will never…" Dromos put a cloth over Carlos' mouth as he said, "No, no, no. I know that you can be persuasive with that mouth of yours. So no talking. And it's time to get some rest. For your coronation awaits." Carlos felt something wet on the cloth and thought, "Chloroform. Need to break free. Need to…." Carlos fell unconscious and slumped in Dromos' arms. The three demons chuckled as Linda cried, "Carlos!" Dromos said to Squee, "Knock her out." Squee did just that as Linda slumped to the floor. Lily held up the chain with Carlos' ring, "The kid had this on him. I smell magic on it." Dromos smiled as he held Carlos up bridal style, "Bring it. And we will call Eve and let her know that there's been a change of plans. She can have Lucifer all to herself here on Earth. And Lucifer can keep his nephew. For now we have a greater prize, his son."

Lucifer was sleeping on the couch in his penthouse when he heard someone shouting, "Lucifer!" The Devil awoke to find Chloe and Maze standing over him and he said, "Am I dreaming? No, I can't be, you're both dressed." Maze explained, "We've got a situation. Demons are roaming the Earth." Lucifer sighed, "Oh, is that all? I already know. I saw them earlier. It seems Kinley summoned them to take me back to Hell. His last ditch attempt to squash the prophecy. But don't worry, crisis averted. I sent them packing. And besides, the demons in question, Dromos and Squee, hardly the brightest bulbs in the hellfire chandelier." "I hate those two," Maze commented. "Especially Squee." "Well, everyone hates Squee," Lucifer added. "Anyway," Maze said. "I'm getting my knives. In case those two idiots get lose on their way home." She got on the elevator as Lucifer called out, "You do that."

He stood up and walked over to get a drink and Chloe asked, "Lucifer, what if we're wrong? What if we're wrong about the prophecy and "evil shall be released" really means that demons are going to be running around? You know, maybe you should leave town until we figure this out." Lucifer turned to her, "I assure you, there's no need for me to flee and how did Maze rope you into this, anyway?" "I ran into her," Chloe revealed. "Sort of. Following a lead on Kinley." "Without me?" Lucifer asked. Chloe nodded, "Yeah. I was afraid. Of what he might trigger in you." Lucifer realized, "Afraid he might turn me back into a monster. There's no need for you to explain. I get it. Perhaps you should leave, Detective. I mean, you never know what might be triggered. It seems only Carlos won't." Chloe looked around, "Where is Carlos, anyway?" Lucifer sighed, "He went over to Linda's to see her and my nephew. He told me that he couldn't locate Kinley or Holla on his mirror so warned me about that and then left. He won't be gone for long." He looked over at the clock and realized, "Come to think of it, he's been gone for a while now."

Maze came back in and said, "This dog said something that concerns me." Dude was at her feet and said, "Carlos was suppose to be back by now. He was suppose to take me for a walk. He's never this late." Chloe then got a message on her phone and said, "We need to get to Linda's. Now." Lucifer was up instantly as he knew that Carlos was there and fear rolled down his spine.

Lucifer, Chloe, and Maze raced over to Linda's, Dude tagging along because the dog was worried about his owner. When they got there, Maze charged in first and saw that the police and EMTs were there. She found Linda with an EMT and Maze asked, "What happened? Where's Charlie?" Linda cried as Lucifer, Chloe, and Dude ran in and said, "Charlie's fine. He was safe in my bedroom but the EMTs are looking him over just in case." Lucifer looked around and asked, "Where's Carlos?" Linda cried harder, "I'm sorry, Lucifer. He's gone. They took him." Lucifer's face paled as Chloe asked, "Who took him?" "Those demons," Linda answered. "They had come for Charlie and Carlos defended us, but then they said that they found something greater: Carlos." Lucifer's eyes glowed red as his anger rose.

Early the next morning at LAPD, Dan and Ella were told about what happened and they were on the case. Dan walked over to Ella and said, "I just questioned Kim Fisher, the night nurse Linda was expecting. Turns out she never made it to the house. Agency called her, said the family canceled last minute. So it seems that Charlie was the original target but they changed their minds and took Carlos instead." "And no one's heard from Amenadiel yet?" Ella asked. Dan shook his head as Ella said, "There's got to be an explanation as to where Amenadiel has gone and not answering his phone. Why he wasn't there to protect Carlos." Dan sighed, "I'm going to call Chloe."

Chloe was interviewing Linda at her house with Lucifer pacing the room and Maze twirling her knives and Dude whimpering. Linda was holding Charlie and said, "No, I didn't call the agency, so that means someone else did. And I don't think it was Amenadiel. I know he wanted to spend time with the baby, but he left shortly after Carlos arrived and I overheard the two talking about something serious as things were about to get heated." Lucifer sighed, "I think I know about what. Linda, there's something you need to know. Amenadiel was thinking about taking Charlie to my least favorite place. Heaven." Linda was shocked, "Amenadiel was going to take my baby away from me?" Lucifer nodded, "I think he tried to tell me at the hospital while I thought we were talking about turtle necks versus crew necks. But Carlos must have noticed and so that's why he came here last night to talk Amenadiel out of doing it. He's always so observant. And he protected your baby, and…." Lucifer started to tear up and walked away.

Suddenly the door opened and Amenadiel walked in. Linda ran over with Charlie in her arms and shouted, "How could you? You wanted to take my baby away from me?" Amenadiel sighed, "Yes, I wanted to, but after what you said to me before Carlos got here, and what Carlos said to me, I was just so confused, and I just needed to clear my head, so I went for a long walk and flight while you and Carlos waited for the night nurse. But why is everyone here? Where's Carlos?" Chloe sighed, "The nurse never came to the house, Amenadiel. Someone else came here instead, a demon, along with others. They tried to take Charlie, and Carlos defended him, but the demons became interested in Carlos and they took him instead." Amenadiel went deathly quiet as he looked over at Lucifer, who was fighting tears. He felt a scratch on his leg and looked down to see Dude with something in his mouth and Lucifer took it and whispered, "Carlos' mirror." Dude nodded and Lucifer held it close.

Chloe's phone went off and Dan and Ella were on the line as Dan said, "Hey, Chloe. We tracked the call to the agency." "The one canceling the nurse," Ella added. Dan continued, "Phone is registered to a Lyla Claybourne. SWAT is on their way to her apartment." "OK," Chloe replied. "Will you send a photo of Lyla? I want to confirm with Linda it's the same person that took Carlos." "Of course," Dan replied. Ella added, "Hey, Chloe, could you tell Lucifer that everyone here is praying for him…pulling for him. OK?" Chloe hung up as Ella started to tear up. Dan asked, "Ella, are you OK? Hey, I hope you know that I'm here for you. You're not alone." Ella sighed, "See, that's just it. I never used to feel alone. Because I always had the big guy. I really miss him. I was just so mad. So mad after, you know, Charlotte." Dan nodded as he started to tear up, "I've been mad too. Really mad." Ella sighed, "It's just so much. But I don't think it's right for me to base my faith on whether everything is good and unicorns and ice cream. I don't think it's God's job to stop the bad. I actually think he's there to give us the strength to get through it." Dan hugged Ella and comforted her.

Chloe got a text from Dan with the picture of Lyla and Chloe said, "Linda, is this her?" She held up her phone and showed Linda the picture, "That's her." Lucifer saw it too, "That's Lyla? That's who's got Carlos? Detective, I saw her last night in Lux. If she was here then the others must have been…. Dromos and Squee." Lucifer paled, "That's who has Carlos." "Who does?" Dude asked from his spot on the floor, startling Linda as she didn't know that Dude could talk. Lucifer sighed, "My rebellious demons have him."

Over at the church, Dromos was sitting next to Carlos, who was tied to the pew in the front, gag in his mouth so that we he woke up, he wouldn't be able to talk and he had Lily on standby to give him a drug to keep him sedated so that he couldn't use his telekinesis and keep him weak. Carlos started to open his eyes and he panicked and found himself tied up and gagged and he tried to break free, but Dromos said, "Ah. No struggling, my prince. Or you will make this harder on yourself." Carlos tried to talk through the gag, but it came out muffled. Dromos chuckled, "Nice try. But I know all of your little tricks. And Lily here is going to make sure you stay, well, chilled out." Lily waved at him and Carlos glared at Dromos with red eyes. Dromos chuckled, "Ah. There's the fire. Just like your dad. He's the reason you're here now. He didn't want to return as King of Hell, so I had to find a replacement. And here you are. The lost prince of Hell. I know he disappeared a lot, but to do this? Funny. But you are going to make a wonderful king, my prince."

Squee came in with a random man and stabbed him in the back, causing Carlos to cringe. Dromos chuckled, "Don't worry about that. I am just making sure that you have enough people in attendance for the first part of your coronation. Because who's da new King of Hell? You." Carlos saw the dead man rise up and pull the knife out of his back and Carlos growled through the gag as some of the pews started to shake. Dromos signaled Lily and she slide a demon knife along Carlos' arm, while Carlos screamed in pain, and Lily injected a syringe into Carlos' arm wound. Carlos instantly calmed down and the pews stopped shaking. Dromos chuckled, "Calm yourself. We can't have you stopping the party early. So if you don't want a demon blade t the skin or drugs in your system, chill out. Oh, and you can't use your magic either. Lily here is guarding your precious ring for me." Lily held out the chain with the ring as Carlos panicked internally, but couldn't fight off the sedative. Dromos chuckled, "Time for the next phase. I'll contact Eve and Squee will lead a team to go get something for me."

Over at LAPD, Lucifer, Chloe, Dan, and Ella, along with Dude, were sitting in the conference room looking over files. Dan got off his phone and said, "SWAT just cleared Lyla's apartment." "What about Lyla?" Chloe asked. Dan answered, "She's not there either. But there is a big pool of blood in the bedroom." He held up his phone and showed her a picture and Chloe said, "Another blood pool without a body." Dan sighed, "I still can't find any connection between Kinley, Holla Bae or Lyla Claybourne." Ella suggested, "Maybe Kinley brainwashed the other two, like he did that Los Xs guy, remember?" Dan sighed, "That's a really weird, weird choice in new minions, but yeah, maybe." Chloe added, "And maybe we'll get a hit on the APB we put out."

Lucifer pulled Chloe aside and said, "Detective, a word." Chloe nodded and they walked out and Lucifer whispered, "Detective, another blood pool with no body means another demon. Linda did saw that the Lyla woman was there and then Dromos and Squee showed up." "Yeah," Chloe agreed. "Should we just tell Dan and Ella the truth about who or what these kidnappers really are? I mean, the more teammates playing the real game, the better, right?" "No," Lucifer argued. "They'll never believe us. I mean, not unless I show them, and you certainly know how long it takes to recover, or not recover, from that. And we don't have that kind of time. My son is out there with those demons and I want him back now." "Yes," Chloe replied. "Back at the penthouse, I was trying to tell you that I'm not…" "Detective," Lucifer interrupted. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but there are more important things than me right now. Starting with my son." "OK," Chloe replied. "Then we need to figure out why demon Kinley and his crew would take Carlos. And why Charlie was the original target." Lucifer said, "Well, it's clearly all about me. I ordered them to go home, they got angry, and they're doing this to get back at me. First they thought my nephew was a good target, but then they found a better one with my son." "How do we find three demons and a teenager?" Chloe asked. Lucifer looked around and said, "Why don't we go back to my penthouse where we can strategize freely? Plus, I feel like Dude needs to get some fresh air." Dude was on the floor next to them and nodded. Chloe nodded and they left LAPD.

Dromos was sitting on the front pew as Eve walked into the church and went straight to him and asked, "Dromos, what are you doing here? Did you find Lucifer? Have you convinced him to go back to Hell? You were vague on what happened at Lux. You messaged me that there was a development." Dromos asked, "How did you find me?" "I used the Find my Phone app," Eve said. "Since I gave it to you to message me." Dromos chuckled, "Yeah, it makes sense. Want some wine?" "No," Eve shouted. "I don't want wine. I want to know what you've been up to. Have you even spoken to Lucifer yet? You were at Lux." "Yeah," Dromos replied. "Well, it didn't go so well." Eve sighed, "Well, yeah, he can be stubborn. Maybe we can talk to him together." Dromos shook his head, "No. He seems pretty sure of what he wants. So I had to make a change in the plans."

Squee came out and said, "Dromos, I think we've got enough. We're ready for the Mayan." "Who are you?" Eve asked. Dromos chuckled, "You see, Eve, we changed plans to have a new king on the throne. We were going to go after the baby nephew, but we found a more suitable candidate."

Lily then walked out and dragged Carlos with her, as he was still bound and gagged. Lily sighed, "I took him to the bathroom like you requested, Dromos. Tried to fight me, but I won. Had to give him more sedatives through his wound. He tried to bad mouth me. Can I cut out his tongue?" Dromos shook his head, "No. You may not." Carlos glared at Dromos while Eve said, "It's the brat who took Lucifer's attention away from me. What are you going to do with him?" "Like I said," Dromos answered. "Change of plans. Since Lucifer doesn't want to be king, his son will be." Eve chuckled, "He's not Lucifer's son. Lucifer can't have children. I refuse to believe that. Kinley thought so and Maze thought so, but they're wrong." Carlos rolled his eyes and Lily held up the ring and said, "He's a kid with many talents. I took this off of him." Eve walked over and ripped the chain out of Lily's hands and Carlos started to panic. Eve took the ring off of the chain and said, "Lucifer and Maze mentioned that this is the Ring of Envy, an illusion ring. I wonder what that means. So what does this ring do?" She looked over at Carlos and said, "So you were right, kid, about the ring hiding what you really look like. White hair, please. But it looks like you won't need this ring anymore based on where you're going." Carlos tried to struggle, but the sedative was still in his system and he mumbled, "You will pay for this, Eve." But no one could understand him because of the gag.

Eve put the ring on her finger and she felt the power it possessed. She chuckled darkly and said, "Dromos, you can have the brat. I don't care. But leave Lucifer to me. I will keep him distracted while you take this child to be your new king." She used the power of the ring to fulfill her internal wish, and the ring changed her appearance to that of Chloe. Carlos' eyes widened as EveChloe said, "Besides, I know who his heart belongs to." Eve strolled out of the building as Dromos said, "Good. She'll keep Lucifer distracted. But I am not taking any more orders from her. She is not my king. You are, my prince." Carlos glared at Dromos while he was scared on the inside as now Eve had his ring and Lucifer and Chloe were in danger.

Lucifer and Chloe got back to Lux and Dude wanted to go to the guest suite for a minute and he'll join them at the penthouse later. Dude ran over to where Carlos' laptop was and struggled to open it. He tried to pull open the chat app, but it took time as his paws weren't that useful. He got it open but none of Carlos' friends were online. So he was able to click on Jane's name and sent a voice recording, "Jane, it's Dude. Carlos is in trouble. He needs help." The computer shut off and Dude groaned, "No, the batteries are dead. Carlos didn't plug it in. Hopefully the message got there."

Lucifer pulled out his phone and said, "No news from my brother or Maze. Perhaps I should get them here as well." They entered the penthouse and saw that it was trashed. Chloe gasped while Lucifer said, "They did this. Vile demons, trying to get back at me with aimless destruction. First taking Carlos, and now this." Chloe shook her head, "This wasn't aimless. They were searching for something." Lucifer walked into his bedroom and said, "Detective, my safe's open." Chloe ran in, "What? Is anything missing?" Lucifer looked through it and discovered, "Oh, no. The vial's gone." "Kinley's vial?" Chloe asked. "You kept that?" Lucifer sighed, "I didn't think it was something I could just toss down the drain. I was going to chuck it out with our spent batteries." "What would they want with the vial?" Chloe asked. Lucifer realized, "They're not trying to get back at me. They're trying to replace me. With Carlos." Chloe asked, "How could they possibly do that?" Lucifer explained, "Hell was built so that no demon could take control of the throne. Only a celestial could rule. An angel, but I suppose someone who is half angel would do. Since I refuse to return, it seems they're intent on raising their own king. Or in this case, possibly force Carlos to become King."

The elevator doors opened and Dude ran out, "Any luck?" Lucifer shook his head as Chloe said, "I am going to go downstairs and call Dan and Ella and map out where those three have been seen recently. Meet me downstairs." Chloe got on the elevator as Lucifer sighed, "I'll contact Amenadiel and Maze." "I tried to contact Carlos' friends back in Auradon," Dude said. "But my paws can't do much so I tried to send a message to Jane, but his computer died." Lucifer groaned, "We need to find Carlos and now before it's too late." "Wait," Dude said. "The mirror. I found Evie's mirror and gave it to you. You can locate Carlos that way." Lucifer pulled the mirror out of his jacket and said, "How does this work?" Dude chuckled, "Have you read any fairy tales?" Lucifer shrugged and Dude explained, "You have to command the mirror in rhymes. Repeat after me, Mirror, mirror in my hand, where does Carlos De Vil stand?" Lucifer nodded, looked into the mirror, and said, "Mirror, mirror in my hand, where does Carlos De Vil stand?" The mirror glowed and it showed Carlos tied up and being dragged around by Dromos and his crew. "Carlos!" Lucifer shouted. "Mirror, show me where they are taking him." The mirror showed a location and Lucifer read, "The Mayan. That's where they're taking him. We need to stop him before they give him that vial." "What's in the vial?" Dude asked. Lucifer explained, "It has a powerful sedative in it, a fatal one. Something that will slowly kill Carlos so that the demons can take him with them to Hell. We need to get the Detective and get there, now!"

They got on the elevator and took it down to the club so that they could get outside to Lucifer's car. Chloe was walking toward the elevator and she said, "Lucifer! What's wrong?" "I know where Carlos is," Lucifer said. "We need to go to him before it's too late." Chloe sighed, "Against those demons? Just the two of us? Shouldn't we assemble a team since they have a team of scary demons?" Lucifer sighed, "I can try to get Maze and Amenadiel, but they are not picking up. I'll try again." "Good," Chloe said. "Then let's wait here while you do that, so that we can have a big team to find the kid." That last statement made Lucifer pause.

Dude suddenly growled behind them and Chloe hid behind Lucifer as Dude said, "Something's wrong. She smells of magic." Lucifer's eyes widened as Chloe said, "What? No I don't. I'm human. I don't have magic." She put her hand on Lucifer and Lucifer looked down to see Carlos' ring on her finger. "Where did you get that?" Lucifer asked. Chloe chuckled nervously, "This? I found it somewhere. It's pretty. Do you like it?" Lucifer's eyes glowed red, "That is Carlos' ring. He never has that out of his possession. So I'll ask again. Where did you get that?" "He gave it to me," Chloe argued. "He's so sweet like that." Lucifer growled, "You are not Chloe." Chloe scoffed, "Yes I am. Who else would I be? You are just tired from all the worrying, you know." Lucifer realized, "Eve. You took Carlos' ring. What did you do?" EveChloe knew the game was up and said, "OK, it's me. But I am who you want to be with. I can be Chloe for you and then we can be together forever. Without that stupid kid getting in our way." Lucifer advanced to EveChloe, "That kid is my son. My own flesh and blood." "No he isn't," EveChloe argued. "I don't believe that." "Then you're delusional," Lucifer replied. "Now, what did you do?" EveChloe stuttered, "I was the one who broke Kinley out of jail. And then he attacked me, so I killed him. I had him send a message to your demons that you needed to be brought back to Hell, and when that didn't work, they chose another candidate to be king: Carlos. And he can go rot in Hell for all I care, because I just want him out of the way. I just want to be with you." "How could you do this, Eve?" Lucifer asked. "How could you be so selfish? Naive?" EveChloe started to cry, "I just wanted to be with you…"

Suddenly someone knocked a glass over EveChloe's head and she dropped to the ground. Chloe was standing behind her and said, "I've heard enough." Lucifer grabbed Chloe and hugged her, "I am so sorry that I couldn't protect you. I had no idea…." "Lucifer," Chloe said pulling away. "It's OK. She knocked me out, but not hard enough." Lucifer bent down and pulled the ring off of her finger and the illusion spell ended and Eve looked like herself again. Lucifer looked up and pulled out the mirror and said, "Carlos dropped this at Linda's house. Dude showed me how it works and I found out where they are taking Carlos. The Mayan." Chloe nodded, "Yes, they have the vial, so they're probably planning on performing the same ceremony that Kinley was going to perform on you. The vial had a sedative in it to slowly poison you and then Kinley wanted to perform the ceremony at a church with a ceremonial knife to run through your heart to make your death and exorcism quick and painless and the sedative was a back up so that if the knife couldn't kill you and send you back to Hell, then the sedative would. The ceremony had to be a house of worship, but also a den of sin. And you said that they're taking Carlos to the Mayan. It's a venue that rents to concerts and also church groups." "Sex, drugs, rock and roll, and my Dad," Lucifer commented. "That sounds like an oxymoronic venue to me." Chloe nodded, "It's going to be empty and available, so we need to get there, now!" Lucifer put the ring in his pocket and he, along with Chloe and Dude, ran out of Lux.

Over at the Mayan, Carlos was placed on the main alter and was tied down to it, gag still in his mouth. Dromos appeared over him and said, "There's the new king. Ready for his grand debut." Squee walked up and said, "Dromos, we got the vial from Lucifer's place." Carlos' eyes widened as he remembered that vial. He tried to struggle, but Dromos held him down and said, "Patience, my king. Your time will come. Squee, get a drink ready. So that we can put the liquid from the vial in that." Squee nodded and walked off with the vial. Lily walked up and asked, "Why a drink?" "It's part of the ceremony," Dromos explained as he started to pet Carlos' hair, causing the boy to flinch. "Go and make sure Squee doesn't make the drink too hot." Lily nodded and walked away. Dromos looked down and said, "You don't know heat like in Hell yet. But you will. And when we get there, I will personally oversee your transition to King. You have to go through some physical and mental torture first in order to break you, but once you've been through all of that, you will be ready to take the throne, and I will be your advisor. And your rule will begin."

Lucifer and Chloe arrived outside of the Mayan, Dude at their feet. Chloe asked, "Anything I need to know about how to fight a demon?" "Not really," Lucifer answered. "Just that they're super strong, scary, and mean. Like Maze. Except these ones don't feel pain, because they're only renting their bodies. Good news is they're killable. Just requires a little extra oomph. But you don't worry about that since you're not going inside. And neither are you, dog." Dude said, "Hey!" while Chloe retorted, "Oh, yes I am. Demons or no demons, there's no way I'm not helping." Lucifer sighed, "Need I remind you, detective, it is less helpful if you're there. You make me vulnerable, remember?"

"But I don't." They turned to see Eve walking up to them. "Eve," Lucifer growled. "You have a lot of nerve showing up here after what you did. To Chloe. To my son!" "I knocked you out," Chloe added. "How…." "I woke up," Eve explained. "And I sat there and thought about everything. And I realized that I had turned into an awful person and I need to apologize, for all of it. And everything I've put you through. Put Carlos through. And I realized, Lucifer, that you're not this perfect guy I've made you out to be. I just wanted to be with you so bad that I was blind. To everything." "You suck at apologies," Lucifer commented. Eve chuckled sadly, "What I mean is I thought I wanted you, I wanted to be the most important person in your life, without distractions like Chloe or Carlos, but after what happened, I realized I've just been missing the person I used to be when I was with you. And that made me a horrible person in return. In a sense, I became a villain, and that shook me. And knocking me out with a glass bottle helped with that." Lucifer sighed, "I hope you find what you want, Eve, but I really wish you'd had this epiphany before you let demons loose on Los Angeles and plotted to have my son taken away from me." Eve replied, "You and me both. Look, I understand that there's nothing I can do to make up for what I've done. To the both of you. To Carlos. But I'm going to have to try, so that's why there's nothing you can do to stop me from going in there. I owe it to you, and to Carlos especially for how I treated him." Lucifer sighed, "Very well. We'll just have to wait for my brother and Maze to arrive."

Suddenly Amenadiel landed next to them with Maze in his arms. Maze got out of Amenadiel's arms and saw Eve standing there, "What are you doing here?" "Yes," Amenadiel added. 'Lucifer told us what you did. Trying to impersonate Chloe with Carlos' ring. Agreed with the demons to make Carlos the new King of Hell." Lucifer interrupted, "Put your claws away. There's no time for that. We need all the help we can get. Chloe, you need to stay out here. Dude, watch over Chloe for me." Dude nodded, "Just go in and rescue my pal. Please." Lucifer nodded as he, Eve, Amenadiel, and Maze walked into the Mayan.

Squee and Lily came back in with the drink and handed it to Dromos, who said, "Just right." He pulled out the vial and poured the liquid into the drink. Carlos' eyes widened as he started to struggle and Dromos said, "Take the gag off but hold his mouth open." Lily took the gag out and Carlos said, "Don't you…" But Squee put his hand over Carlos' mouth as Dromos said, "No talking. Now, open wide." Lily and Squee held Carlos' mouth open and Dromos poured the drink into Carlos' mouth and quickly put his hand over Carlos' mouth and Carlos couldn't stop the drink from going down his throat.

Just then Lucifer, Eve, Amenadiel, and Maze walked into the chamber and Lucifer shouted, "Dromos! This ends here!" Dromos looked up along with Squee and Lily and Carlos looked over as tears started to leak down his cheeks. Dromos chuckled as he removed his hand from Carlos' mouth and said, "Now, you see, the thing is, I don't take orders from you anymore. Not since the whole abdication thing. So, long live King Carlos. He's going to be a hell of a ruler. Pun intended. Because I am going to break him and mold him into exactly what I want. You know, you've got to admit you've been a bit of a selfish king. Keeping the whole Earth thing to yourself." "Give me my son!" Lucifer shouted, his eyes glowing red." Carlos sobbed weakly, "Dad." Dromos chuckled, "Over my dead body. Oh, that's right. It's already dead, so you're going to have to get creative."

Maze and Amenadiel charged in and Dromos, putting the empty vial in his pocket, sent Squee, Lily, and other demons out to fight them. Lucifer glared at Dromos, who looked down at Carlos and said, "Now, my king. Time to continue the ceremony." Lucifer walked up to the alter as Amenadiel and Maze were still fighting off demons. Lucifer got close as Dromos said, "Ah! I wouldn't come any closer if I were you." He held up the ceremonial knife that he was going to use on Carlos to finish the ceremony. "One step and I will finish this ceremony very quickly." Lucifer growled, "You are going to pay, Dromos, for taking my son." Dromos chuckled, "Really? My money's on me, pal." Two demons suddenly appeared and fight off Lucifer, who defended himself as Dromos commented, "You're getting soft. Getting all mushy with the humans. Enough so that you produced a son. It's disgusting." Lucifer replied as he was fighting off the demons, "To be clear, the thing between Carlos' mother and myself was a one time thing. I hate her for how she treated Carlos." Carlos weakly smiled at that.

Suddenly Eve appeared behind Dromos and put a bag over his head and kicked him in the groin as Lucifer commented, "You're quite good at that these days." And Lucifer knocked the two demons down and Lucifer ran over and took the blade out of Dromos' hands and handed it to Eve, "Go. Take this and run. Run!" Eve took the knife and ran, while Lucifer started to fight Dromos. Eve was blocked by a demon, but Maze threw one of her knives and it hit the demon, knocking it to the ground. "Run!" Maze shouted and Eve ran out the door. Lucifer knocked Dromos to the ground while Maze and Amenadiel finished off the other demons.

Eve ran outside and saw that she was in an alley. She turned to walk toward the main street, but then Lily popped out and slapped Eve across the face, knocking her to the ground and the knife falling to the ground. Lily stalked over to Eve, but then shots were fired at Lily, who was unaffected as she turned to see Chloe standing there with Dude by her side. Chloe fired all the bullets in her gun as Lily stalked toward her, but then Chloe dropped her gun and picked up a line queue pole and whacked Lily on the head, knocking her out. Chloe ran over and helped Eve up, who said, "That was amazing." Lily suddenly opened her eyes and Eve put her heel through Lily's eye, killing her. Eve looked up at Chloe and said, "Got her." Chloe grabbed the knife and handed it to Eve, "Take this and get out of here. Dude, watch over Eve." "What are you going to do?" Dude asked. Chloe sighed, "I need to see if Lucifer and Carlos are OK." "But," Dude started to argue and Chloe said, "I will be alright."

Inside, Maze and Amenadiel walked up to the alter as Lucifer looked down at Dromos and said, "There's no-one left, Dromos. Party's over. Now hand over my son. I think it's time you went home." Dromos chuckled, "Make me." Amenadiel and Maze pulled Dromos up as Lucifer took over his jacket and said, "Very well. Maze, give me a blade." Maze handed him a demon blade and Lucifer used that first to unbind Carlos from the alter. Lucifer looked down and said, "I'm here, Carlos. And I will make this demon pay for what he did to you." Carlos sighed, "Dad, I…." "Shush," Lucifer said. "It's OK. I've got this." He held the blade up to Dromos' neck.

But then the demon said, "Oh, look who's here." Lucifer looked behind him and saw Chloe walk in. "Shit," Maze muttered. Lucifer asked, "Detective, what are you doing?" Lucifer walked over to Chloe as she said, "I'm sorry, I know. It sounded like everything's OK. Just making sure you and Carlos are alight." "You need to leave, Detective," Lucifer demanded. "I know," Chloe sighed. "I make you vulnerable." Lucifer shook his head, "No, that's not it. I don't want you to see me like this. I know it scares you." Chloe shook her head, "No, that's what I as trying to tell you. I'm not afraid of you anymore." "You're not?" Lucifer asked. Dromos chuckled, "You see, this is what I'm talking about. It's so sweet. I'm going to puke." Maze held her blade closer to his throat as Lucifer asked, "Then why've you been so worried? Worried about my face, about all of it coming back." "I wasn't afraid of you," Chloe revealed. "I was afraid of losing you. That all this will take over, you'll forget about this place, about Carlos, and that you'd forget about me." Lucifer stared at Chloe in shock.

Suddenly they heard rasping and turned to see Carlos turning pale and his breathing slow down. Maze reached into Dromos' pocket and pulled out the empty vial and said, "It's gone." Dromos chuckled, "It looks like the powerful sedative is working full steam ahead now." "What?" Lucifer growled. Dromos chuckled, "I forced him to drink it right before you barged in here. Now, that knife you took was to make the process quicker, but now he is dying a slow, painful death that will lead him straight to Hell. So even if you send me back, I'll be waiting for him down there." Lucifer growled, "Carlos is not going to Hell. Even when he dies, he has a good soul. That doesn't belong there." Dromos chuckled, "We'll see."

Suddenly Chloe felt people behind her as a huge group of dead people being possessed by demons came in and Lucifer tried to fight them off as Dromos shouted, "It's amazing how many demon souls you can source from a little church confession." The demons surrounded everyone and they started to pull Chloe away from Lucifer. "Lucifer!" Chloe shouted but Lucifer couldn't reach her.

Outside, Eve saw everything from her hiding spot across the street and said, "I have to get back in there." "How?" Dude asked. Before Eve could answer, they heard a sound behind them and a portal opened and a figure wearing a light blue cloak and a hood to cover its face walked out. Dude instantly wagged his tail as Eve asked, "What's going on? Who are you?" The figure smiled and pulled out a fancy stick and pointed it at Eve and said, "You must be Eve. I've heard so much about you. Now, take me to Carlos De Vil."

Inside the Mayan, more and more demons were surrounding everyone as Dromos shouted, "My plans will succeed. Carlos will become our new King and you, Lucifer, will suffer, along with those you love." Lucifer saw the fear in Chloe's eyes and he turned back to see Carlos' weakened state as Carlos looked over at Lucifer and whisper, "Dad." Lucifer felt rage overtake him and he stood in front of the alter and went full Devil mode and shouted, "Enough!" The demons stopped as they stared at Lucifer in his full demon form of red disfigured skin, large Devil wings, red eyes, and powerful aura. Lucifer stared out and commanded, "You'll blow down to your king." Every demon obeyed, even Dromos. Lucifer then commanded, "You do not belong here. Go home!" Every demon then fell to the ground as they left their dead hosts. Lucifer returned to normal and looked out to Chloe, who gave him a reassuring smile.

He heard gasping coughs behind him and turned to see Carlos lying on the alter, becoming more and more pale. Lucifer rushed next to him as Chloe ran up and checked his pulse, "His pulse is weakening. Quickly. We need to get him to a hospital." "Won't be quick enough," Maze said. "She's right," Amenadiel said. "I can feel his life draining away quickly. We won't make it." Lucifer looked around, "What about that potion his friend Mal made?" Carlos shook his head and said weakly, "Left it at Lux." Lucifer looked up at Amenadiel and said, "What if we used one of your angel feathers?" Amenadiel shook his head, "I may have my wings back, but I am not a full angel anymore. I don't think my feathers would be enough." Lucifer started to tear up, "No. There has to be a way to save him. He's my son. There must be a way." "Dad," Carlos mumbled. "You came. You rescued me. That's all that matters." Lucifer shook his head, "No. I should have protected you. I promised I would. Please…" Carlos then closed his eyes as his breathing stopped. "No!" Lucifer shouted as he cried into Carlos' abdomen. Chloe, Maze, and Amenadiel hung their heads low.

"Excuse me." The four popped their heads up and turned to see the figure in the light blue cloak standing near the entrance with Eve standing next to her along with Dude. The figure saw Carlos and frowned as clear iridescent wings appeared on its back and the figure flew over the dead bodies and landed on the alter. Lucifer hugged Carlos to him, "Keep away from my son!" Chloe said, "Lucifer. It's OK. I think she's here to help." "She?" Lucifer looked back over and saw the figure to lower its hood to reveal a girl with brunette hair and blue eyes. She looked down at Carlos and said, "I can help him. Please." Lucifer nodded and back away as the girl walked over to Carlos. She looked down at him and petted his hair and started to tear up, "Oh, Carlos. Please wake up," She then leaned down and kissed him. Suddenly a shockwave of magic from the kiss blew past everyone as they felt the strong aura from the girl and Carlos. The color was returning to Carlos' face and his wounds, including his arm wound, were healing. The girl pulled away and Carlos opened his eyes and took some deep breaths. He looked up and muttered, "Jane?" Jane smiled down at Carlos and nodded as Lucifer muttered, "That's Jane? His girlfriend? So she's a fairy." Jane leaned down and kissed Carlos again, who eagerly reciprocated. Maze cleared her throat and Jane and Carlos pulled away from each other. Lucifer rushed over and said, "Carlos? You're alright." Carlos nodded as he sat up and said, "Evie's right. True love's kiss works every time." Jane grinned, "Of course it does. But I did apply some of Mal's healing potion to my lips for some extra help."

Carlos chuckled as he hopped off the alter and looked over at Lucifer and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I should have been stronger to…" But then Lucifer pulled Carlos into a hug and said, "You have nothing to apologize for. You protected your cousin and Linda. You were strong. I don't blame you for anything. I am just glad that you are safe." Carlos started to tear up, "Dad." Lucifer and Carlos continued to hold each other as Chloe sighed at the sight.

Jane walked forward and said, "I can send these people back to where they died so that they can be put to rest, properly." Lucifer and Carlos broke off their hug as Jane pulled out the fancy stick, which Carlos recognized, "You stole your Mom's wand?" Jane smirked, "More like borrowed without her permission. I am Fairy Godmother's daughter after all so I can use it." Carlos chuckled as Lucifer said, "Maybe not the bloke behind you. Leave him here." Jane nodded and waved her wand saying, "Bibbiti-bobbiti-boo!" The magic washed over the entire place and all the bodies, save for Kinley's, disappeared back to where they originally died. Dude then ran up to the stage and said, "So you got my message." Jane nodded, "I did. I felt something was wrong before your message and I realized that Carlos was in danger. I should have got Mal and the gang here too, but I was in a hurry and wasn't exactly thinking straight. So I stole my mother's wand and came straight here. Eve was nice enough to show me where Carlos was, despite the stories Carlos told me about her." Eve shyly looked to the ground. Lucifer reached into his pocket and pulled out Carlos' ring and mirror, "These are yours." Carlos took them and said, "Thank you. Especially for Evie's mirror. She'd kill me if anything happened to it." The group chuckled as they all went outside.

Carlos turned to Lucifer and said, "Can we go over to Lux? I want to show Jane around." Lucifer nodded, "Of course." Carlos turned to Jane and said, "How about it?" Jane giggled, "OK. But only for a little bit. I have to get back to Auradon before my mom realizes that her wand is missing." Carlos picked Jane up bridal style and Jane said, "I can fly, you know. I'm the one with wings so I can fly us there." Carlos shook his head, "Not today. I can fly us there." He unfurled his angel wings and Jane's eyes went wide, "Since when have you had wings?" "It's a recent development," Carlos answered. "Sorry I didn't tell you when it happened. A lot of things have happened since I returned back here. Come on, let's go. Coming, Dude?" Dude jumped and Jane held onto the dog as Carlos took off for the sky and Lucifer smirked, "Show off. Just like me." Lucifer turned to Chloe and said, "Do you want to go on a flight with me back to Lux?" Chloe chuckled, "No, let them have their moment. I'll drive us back." Lucifer nodded as he got solemn suddenly and they went to Chloe's car.

Eve turned to Amenadiel and Maze and said, "I'm so sorry." Amenadiel nodded and unfurled his wings and flew back to Linda and Charlie. Maze turned to Eve and asked, "Are you OK? Not that I care." Eve sighed, "I know that's not true. I think you care a lot. I've just been too blind to notice." Maze nodded, "Yeah, I thought there was something between us, but…" Eve interrupted, "Maze, you're not delusional. There is a connection. But I've realized the way I've been acting with Lucifer, with everyone around him, is the exact same way I've acted with Adam. You know, I keep trying to change myself to be this person I think they want me to be." Maze shook her head, "I would never ask you to change, Eve. I like who you are." Eve sighed, "I don't even know who that is yet. I need to figure that out. I'm going to need to do that on my own." She leaned in and kissed Maze on the cheek and walked away, to parts unknown, leaving Maze standing there feeling hallow.

Back at LAPD, Ella reached into her desk drawer and pulled out her cross necklace and put it on, reestablishing her faith in God. Dan was at his desk looking at a picture of Charlotte and he knew that he needed to move on with his life.

Amenadiel returned home and Linda was waiting with Charlie. She was crying and said, "You were right. He's not safe. You need to take him." Amenadiel shook his head, "No. No one will sacrifice themselves for this baby the way that you were just willing to do. No one will protect him like we will. Like Carlos did." Linda smiled and the couple looked down at their son with love.

Carlos had arrived back at Lux with Jane and Dude and he showed her around the place and he ended the tour on the guest level. Jane chuckled, "So your dad really does run a nightclub and has you play piano for him? That's pretty cool." Carlos chuckled, "Yeah, it's cool." Jane then looked at him and said, "Can I ask you something? Can you come back to Auradon for a while? Our junior year is almost over and I want to spend it with you. Plus, Ben and Mal's wedding is coming up. Please?" Carlos chuckled, "OK, I will. Just give me a couple days as I need to make sure my dad and everyone are OK and I need to say a temporary goodbye. Can you give me that?" Jane nodded and she leaned up to kiss Carlos, who reciprocated. Carlos pulled away and said, "I love you, Jane. So very much." Jane smiled, "Me too. Now, I should be getting back. Time to return my mother's wand." Carlos then asked, "Can you take Dude with you?" "Why?" Dude asked from his spot on the ground. Carlos knelt down and said, "Buddy, I appreciate having you here. But I want to spend the next couple days with the people here. I will be back in Auradon before you know it. Besides, you came uninvited, remember?" Dude whined but Carlos gave Dude a hug and said, "Don't worry. I'll be back soon." Carlos picked Dude up and handed him to Jane who said, "I'll take care of him while you're gone like before. I'll see you soon." Jane opened a portal then said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Here." She handed Carlos a blue rock and said, "Why don't you give this to your dad? So that if he wants to visit you in Auradon, he can." Carlos took it and said, "Thanks, Jane." Jane waved and she carried Dude through the portal and it closed behind her.

Carlos walked over to the elevator and it opened to reveal Chloe. "Hey, Chloe," Carlos said as he got on. "Where's my dad?" Chloe answered, "He's up in the penthouse. He said he needed to get some things done while I made some phone calls. I was just going to see him. How are you doing? After all that happened." Carlos sighed, "I'm OK. Honestly, I'm still a little shaken up, but I know that I am going to get past it. With my family and friends by my side." Chloe side hugged Carlos and said, "I am just glad to see that you're OK."

The elevator arrived at the penthouse and the two got out and saw that Lucifer was standing out on the balcony. They walked over and Carlos said, "Dad, I wanted to talk to you about something." "Me too," Chloe said. "Since, you know, everything that happened, it's over. Isn't it?" Lucifer sighed as he turned to Chloe and Carlos, "I'd say yes, Detective, but I'd be lying. And we both know I don't do that. Tonight we won, and I got you back, Carlos, but we just plugged one hole in a very flimsy boat. Now the demons know I've no intention of returning, they'll continue to defy me. It's only a matter of time before they come back to Earth. Who knows where next? Or maybe they'll just come back for you, Carlos, or you, Chloe."

"But I'll be ready, Dad," Carlos said. "I'll get stronger to fight them off." Lucifer shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think, Carlos. Now that they see you as the rightful heir to my throne, they may come back again and again until they succeed at taking you to Hell. And you don't belong there." Chloe nodded, "I see, so what are you saying?" "I have to go back," Lucifer revealed. Carlos gasped as Chloe replied, "So for how long? Like a couple weeks or months or…" Lucifer shook his head, "You were right. About the prophecy. We did get it wrong. It is about Hell coming to Earth, and we may have stopped it now, but for how long? I need to keep them contained. They must have a king. And Carlos, I never want you to be the next king of Hell." Carlos shook his head and said, "No. Please." Chloe shook her head, "No, see, this is what I meant, Lucifer, when I…you can't leave me." "Or me," Carlos said. "I just found you and I need my dad." Lucifer shook his head, "No. You have grown, Carlos, into a fine young man. I only helped a little and that was all you needed." Chloe cried, "Listen, I'm so sorry that, how I acted when I first saw your face, it was stupid and…please. Please don't go. I love you. Please don't leave." Lucifer started to tear up, "You see, we were wrong about something else in the prophecy. My first love was never Eve. It was you, Chloe. It always has been." He leaned in and kissed Chloe.

He pulled back and looked over at Carlos, "But the prophecy was right about finding my heir. And it's you, Carlos. Because you are my son. Always have been, and always will be. I regret many things over my long life. But meeting you and spending time with you is one thing that I don't regret. I will always cherish it." Carlos cried, "I love you, Dad." He hugged Lucifer and Lucifer hugged him back and kissed his head. Lucifer pulled away and Carlos said, "I want you to have something before you go." He handed Lucifer the blue stone and said, "I have faith that I will see you again, even if you don't. This will take you to Auradon from wherever you are. You may not want me to visit you in Hell, but I want you to visit me. Even if it seems impossible. Promise me?" Lucifer didn't know if he ever could, but he would do anything for Carlos and whispered, "I promise. For you." Carlos cried and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Lucifer turned to Chloe and said, "Maybe one day I will see you again, but I don't know when that will be or if that will be possible. So this is goodbye." Chloe shook her head, "Please don't go." Lucifer backed away and unfurled his wings, which had returned to their original state as angel wings. Lucifer whispered, "Goodbye, Chloe, Carlos. Hopefully one day we can meet again." With a whoosh of his wings, he disappeared. Chloe started to sob and Carlos pulled her into a hug and cried with her as the pair stood there, their hearts hurting as the person they love was gone, for who knows how long.

Lucifer sat on his throne looking out over all of Hell as he thought, "I must do this. For Chloe. For Carlos. But I have hope that one day I will see them again….."
