Carlos was taking some deep breathes as he was processing what Hades told him. His sister had been kidnapped. Hades sighed, "This is why I told you to take her back to her time. Now the timeline could change, and not in a good way." Carlos stood tall, "I have to find her. Now." Carlos opened a portal and before he stepped through, Hades said, "Kid, be careful." Carlos nodded and he went through the portal. Hades sighed and said to himself, "I hope what is about to happen doesn't come to pass." "What will happen?" He turned to see Jane standing there as she heard the noise from her house. Hades sighed, "Something happened and Carlos had to go back to LA. That's all." Jane replied, "You're hiding something. Please tell me." Hades sighed again, "I don't think you want to know." "Father." Hades turned to see Mal standing there with Evie, Jay, and Dude. "We were waiting for Carlos to return to Evie's house and we had a surprise for him. But you did something to send him back to LA. Tell us what you know. Now."
Lucifer and Chloe were still trying to accept the fact that their daughter got kidnapped. "How is this possible?" Chloe asked. "How can Le Mec have Rory? You said Dan was in his body!" Lucifer sighed, "Apparently not anymore. How did her even get his hands on her? She's an angel!" "Half," Chloe corrected. "Half angel, half human. She has all of your celestial abilities, but she has all of my human vulnerabilities. Same thing happened when your demons kidnapped Carlos." Lucifer countered, "But she is the best of both of us, and I am gonna get her back." Lucifer turned to the elevator to leave, but Chloe stopped him, "Lucifer! No, I am not letting you walk right into a trap. We know you don't come out of this, but I do, so stay here. Let me save Rory." Lucifer argued, "I am the devil, and Le Mec is just a man. A bloody Frenchman, to add insult to injury! You, on the other hand, are carrying our child. You can't go." Chloe countered, "Le Mec has our adult baby right now. We don't know if she makes it out OK. But this baby will be fine. We know that." Lucifer sighed, "The future isn't set in stone. Look, you were the one saying I always have a choice, and you're right. We both know that only choice I would ever make is to try and save our daughter." "Me too," Chloe said. "So then we both go. Partners to the end. Right?" Lucifer nodded, "Right."
"I'm coming too." Lucifer and Chloe turned to see Carlos standing there, ready for a fight. Lucifer walked over to Carlos, "How did you know?" "Hades told me," Carlos answered. "No one kidnaps my little sister and gets away with it. Do you know where she is?" Lucifer nodded, "10th and Swanson." Carlos pulled out his mirror and asked it to show him Rory. He didn't like what he saw, "We need to go. Now!"
Meanwhile, Rory woke up chained to a chair and Vincent was holding a gun to her face, "Bonjour." Rory asked, "Where am I? Who are you?" Vincent answered, "Oh, my name is Vincent Le Mec. You've heard of me?" Rory replied, "Yeah, you're infamous in the future." "For killing the devil?" Vincent asked. "No," Rory answered. "For choking to death on a corn dog, while taking a shit. You die Elvis style, dude. No, I've never heard of you. Le Merde. In the future, no one's ever heard of you." Vincent chuckled, "I cannot tell if you are lying or no. And it doesn't matter. Only one thing matters. Lucifer Morningstar will come here, and he will never leave. Tonight, fate is on my side." "We're at 10th and Swanson?" Rory asked. "How?" Vincent answered, "Lucifer told your friend Daniel all about it. He did not realize I was in here, listening along, huh? And lucky me, he also revealed thee perfect tool to lurer him here! You." "I'm the reason Lucifer disappears?" Rory asked. "I'm the reason I didn't have a father growing up." "Apparently so," Vincent replied. "Boo-hoo." Rory glared at Vincent, "Well, Lucifer forgot to tell you one thing."
Rory unfurled her wings and broke through her chains and cut Vincent's gun in half. Then Rory heard a shot go off and something pricked her side. A woman, Bridget, came out holding a dart gun. Vincent laughed, "Actually, I know all about your pretty wings." Bridget shot another dart, "One dart has enough to knock out a rhino. Not bad, little angel." Rory was shot again and Vincent said, "Night, night." Rory fell to the ground and whispered, "I'm not going to be your bait." Vincent replied, "Oh, don't worry. You're not just the bait." Rory whispered, "It's not only the devil you have to worry about." She then fell unconscious.
Lucifer, Chloe, and Carlos arrived at 10th and Swanson. Chloe saw one of Vincent's goons talking French in a walkie and eating a sandwich. She pulled out her gun and held it to his head, "Drop it." The goon dropped his sandwich and Chloe replied, "Really? The radio. I said, drop it." The goon didn't comply, but Carlos commanded, "Drop the radio." The goon obeyed his command, but then pulled out a knife, but Lucifer stepped in and grabbed the man's arm, "Never bring a knife to a devil fight." But the goon did a maneuver and the knife got into his other hand and he sliced Lucifer's wrist with it. Carlos used his telekinesis and tossed the man into a shipping container. Chloe saw that Lucifer was bleeding, "What? How is it that you're bleeding?" Carlos saw the knife and used his telekinesis and the knife flew into his hand. Carlos recognized it instantly, "It's one of Rory's feathers." Lucifer grew angry, "What have those bastards done to her?"
Rory was slowly waking up. She noticed that she was chained up again along with her wings and the woman was extracting feathers from them. Rory screamed, "Those are mine!" Vincent walked up to her, "You see? I told you. You're not just the bait. You're also the weapon. One that can even hurt the devil himself." Rory shook her head, "No, you can't use me to hurt Lucifer." Vincent chuckled, "Oh-ho, I can't? Oh, I know. I'm such a mean Frenchman, huh? Hurting that nice, sweet devil. But he's the one that is hurting me. Ever since he whispered in my ear, I've been in pain. Terrible, excruciating torture! And now it is my turn to torture him." "Lucifer doesn't torture people," Rory replied. Vincent huffed, "Agree to disagree." Rory shook her head, "No. He lets them torture themselves, with their own guilt. So he must have brought Hell to you before you died. Whatever pain you're whining about, that's on you, dude. And looks like whatever you did in this life must have been pretty shitty."
"Shut up!" Vincent shouted. Bridget then told him, "Apparently we have three guests." Vincent smiled, "Even better." Bridget told the goons, "Do your best to keep the man alive. As for the woman and the kid, you can kill them if you want." Bridget and her men walked out with Rory's feathers as Rory started to chuckle. Vincent noticed, "What's so funny? Yes, you did mention that the devil wasn't the only person I have to worry about." Rory looked up at Vincent, "It seems my brother is here too." Vincent sighed, "Ah. Yes, I heard about Lucifer having another child. But he, like you, will be easy to take down." Rory chuckled, "Carlos isn't like me. He's so much more than that. He's a De Vil, you can say. And he's just as pissed as my dad that you did this. And much more powerful." Vincent growled and put a gag on Rory.
Lucifer, Chloe, and Carlos moved in and Carlos said, "Dad, I'll clear a path for you. You and Chloe need to get to Rory and save her. I'll catch up." "Carlos," Lucifer warned. But Carlos' eyes glowed red, "Just go! I'll cover you." Sure enough, some men came running out and Carlos used his telekinesis and threw the men far away through the air. Another group of men ran to him and Carlos unfurled his wings and took to the skies. He used his telekinesis to bring the guns and blade feathers to him and then sent out a powerful telekinetic shock wave to knock them out. Chloe ran ahead as Carlos easily outfought the men using his powers. Lucifer had to fight some men himself and used the demon knife Maze gave him for help. Chloe shot a few men that were in her way. One grabbed her as Bridget aimed a crossbow at her, but the shot hit the man instead. Then she and Chloe fought and Chloe got the upper hand, but then a feather blade got into her shoulder. Carlos saw this and ran over and threw Bridget into a container using his telekinesis.
Lucifer ran over and helped Chloe to the ground. Chloe said, "I'm fine. Let's go." Lucifer stopped her, "No! You're not fine. I'm not leaving you." Carlos pulled out Mal's potion, "I have enough left to heal her. You need to go save Rory." "Yes," Chloe said. "I don't die today. We all came here to save her. Please go." "We'll catch up," Carlos added. Lucifer nodded, "I'll bring her back for both of you." Lucifer then stood up and walked to where Rory and Vincent were.
Lucifer barged through the door and saw Rory chained up. "Rory!" Lucifer shouted. He walked forward, but Vincent shouted, "Don't take another step!" Vincent stepped out pointing a gun at Rory. Lucifer held up his hands, "You don't have to do this, Vincent." Vincent chuckled, "Oh, I don't have to, but I want to. I've been in constant anguish since you whispered in my ear. Constant torture! I can't take it anymore! So if you could please make that stop, that would be great, hmm?" Lucifer replied, "Well, I'm afraid that's not possible." Vincent shouted, "Don't make me pull this trigger!" Lucifer replied, "It's not that I won't! It's that I can't." Vincent sighed, "I see, fine. Fine, then I will kill your daughter in front of you and makes you share the unrelenting pain you've given me."
Lucifer said, "It's not pain you're feeling, Vincent. It's guilt. But you've already worked that part out, haven't you?" Vincent scoffed, "I've never felt guilty about a single thing I've done. But now I can't escape the pain. No matter how hard I try." Lucifer asked, "And you think this little act of revenge will lessen that pain, don't you? Yeah? You're about to kill an innocent girl! If you think you're in pain now, it's gonna be a thousandfold worse." Vincent replied, "It's worth it. It's all worth it, to make you feel what I feel." Lucifer said, "But I won't. In order to truly torture someone, you must know what they desire more than anything else. Vincent. Why don't you ask me, hmm? It's OK, just ask me! Go on." Vincent asked, "What is it you desire?" Lucifer answered, "To see my daughter grow up. To be there for her when she needs me the most. To be the father she deserves. I couldn't do that with my son, so I want all that with her. While also seeing my son become the man he's destined to be. So, now you know. If you kill me and me alone, you won't add to your torture 'cause, well, I'm far from innocent. Let's be honest, Vincent. And you'll get what you want. 'Cause I will suffer an unimaginable pain. The pain of leaving behind the ones I love. My daughter. My son. Chloe. And my family."
Vincent smiled, "Yes. Is that it? That's what I was looking for." Lucifer replied, "Then let's finish this, shall we?" Lucifer got down on his knees and Vincent pulled out one of Rory's feathers. Rory started to struggle in her chains trying to break free, shouting through her gag, "Dad!". Just as Vincent raised his arm and started to swing down at Lucifer, a shout was heard, "You will not harm my father!" Vincent's arm stopped and he couldn't move it. Lucifer turned around and saw Carlos glaring at Vincent with red eyes. Vincent chuckled, "So, this must be the son. Coming to his dad's rescue. But I can't move my arm. What have you done?" Carlos smirked, "Like you said. Coming to the rescue." Carlos waved his arm and Vincent went flying into the table where Rory's feathers were gathered. Carlos walked over to Lucifer, "Don't you ever do something like that again." Lucifer nodded, "Understood." Carlos held out a hand and Lucifer took it, being pulled to stand. Lucifer said, "Now, let's get your sister free."
But just as Carlos turned to Rory, a shot was heard and a feather blade hit Carlos in his chest. Rory saw this and tried to shout through her gag. Lucifer caught Carlos as he was falling to the ground. Lucifer looked over and saw Vincent holding a crossbow, revealing he was the one who shot Carlos. Vincent laughed, "I guess I get to see you tortured after all. You won't get to see the man your son will grow up to be." Lucifer pulled out the blade and put his hand on Carlos' wound, "Carlos, hold on. Please." "Dad," Carlos said weakly.
Rory grew angry and used all her strength to break through her chains and she sped over to Vincent and grabbed him by the throat and hoisted him into the air. Lucifer saw this, "No! Rory, no! Rory, no, you can't do this! No! Don't do this, Rory." Lucifer rushed over and tried to pry Vincent out of Rory's grasp, and saw that Rory's face was slowly melting away into a Devil face. Rory said, "He deserves this. He hurt my brother. He hurt me. Never again." Lucifer replied, "Rory, killing him won't change what he's done, but it will change you. Once you've done this, there's no going back! Rory, I know what it's like to be consumed by guilt, by anger and self-hatred. Trust me. You do not wanna go down that road. You don't wanna live like that. Do not give in to this monster! You have to be better than him! Rory, please, you have to be better than me. Please be better than me." Rory heard Carlos say weakly, "Rory. I almost made the same mistake. Dad is right. Be better." Rory then let go and her face returned to normal. Vincent laid on the ground trying to recover.
Lucifer and Rory rushed to Carlos' side and saw that his breathing was weak and he was getting pale. "Carlos," Lucifer said. "No. Just hold on. We'll get you to a hospital and get you all better." "Dad," Carlos mumbled. "I don't think I'll last that long. I feel….cold." Rory started to cry, "No, Carlos. Please, don't go. I can't…." She then realized, "No, I'm the reason why you're not there in my future. Why Mom cries when I asked about you. When I saw her holding your jacket when she thought no one was looking. Because of this. Please don't make that true. I don't want fate to win. I don't anymore. Please, big brother. I love you." Carlos smiled weakly, "I love you too, sis." He then closed his eyes and stopped breathing. Lucifer shouted, "No! Please, open your eyes, son. Please." Lucifer held him in his arms and rocked him.
"Carlos!" They turned to see Jane running toward them along with Mal, Evie, Jay, and Dude. Jane kneeled and took Carlos' head, "No, Carlos wake up! Please. Come back to me. Don't leave me. We were supposed to have a future together. Remember? This ring is proof of that. Mal, we have to try and use our magic to help him. We can use your potion like last time. And I can give him true love's kiss again." Mal shook her head, "Last time, you got there just in time. We got here too late. My magic and yours can't bring back the dead. He's gone." Evie cried, "Carlos, no." "Buddy, don't leave us," Jay said. "We're together forever. Rotten to the core." "Carlos," Dude whined. "Get up, please." Lucifer planted a kiss on Carlos' forehead and cried. Jane sobbed loudly. Rory stood up and backed away, crying.
She heard a voice saying, "This is the consequence of time travel." She turned to see Hades standing there, "If you went back to your time sooner, this wouldn't of happened." Rory cried, "No, Carlos wasn't there in my future. I thought he left, like Dad did. But the reality is so much worse." "Maybe that's what happened in your timeline," Hades replied. "But maybe not. I can feel the timeline shifting. You caused this. But maybe you have a very small amount of time to change it more, to make a better future." Rory was confused so Hades said, "I know that celestials can self-actualize. That's why you came to this time. You turned your own feathers into weapons. Maybe now you can use them for the opposite."
Rory realized what Hades meant and closed her eyes. She unfurled her wings and they started to glow. She opened her eyes and she pulled one of her new feathers out. She then ran over with the glowing feather and held it to Carlos' wound. Everyone was watching, trying to figure out what she was doing. Rory closed her eyes and whispered, "Come back to me. Come back to me." The glow of the feather transferred to Carlos' wound and Carlos started to glow. The wound closed up as Rory continued to whisper, "Come back to me."
The feather then disintegrated and Carlos opened his eyes, gasping for breath. He saw everyone above him, "Uh, did I miss something?" Lucifer cried and pulled Carlos into a hug, Mal, Evie, and Jay joining in on it. Dude pounced into Carlos' lap. Carlos pulled away and Jane pulled Carlos into a passionate kiss, then pulled away saying, "Don't leave me like that again. Do you hear me?" Carlos nodded, then looked over at Rory, who said, "It worked. I did it." "Did what?" Carlos asked. Lucifer said, "Rory used one of her feathers to bring you back. I don't understand how…" "I self-actualized," Rory interrupted. "Carlos!" She hugged Carlos, who hugged her back. Mal looked back at Hades and said, "You knew this would happen, didn't you?" "Could happen," Hades clarified. "You see, Carlos was in flux at this moment, with a bunch of possibilities. At least, that's what those three Fates told me."
Lucifer looked at Rory, "You called me Dad." "Did I?" Rory asked. "I thought I said something like, damn! That hurts! When I ripped my wings to, you know, save Carlos' life. And you just realized that now?" Lucifer chuckled, then asked her, "Are you OK?"
Suddenly Vincent, having finally recovered and watched everything that just happened, stood up and tried to stab Lucifer, but then a gun shot was heard. He then fell to the ground. Everyone looked over and saw Chloe leaning on the door with her gun in the air. Rory ran over to her, "Mom!" Lucifer looked over and saw that when Vincent fell, he landed on two of Rory's blade feathers that went right through him. Hades walked over, "This one, though, his fate is sealed. Fixed point." Lucifer knelt down next to Vincent, who said, "I want to see what he saw when he left my body. I want to see the light." "Do you mean Daniel?" Lucifer asked. "He saw the light? He made it to Heaven? He made it." Vincent said, "I see…..darkness. Only darkness." Vincent then died and Hades said, "I know where this soul is going. I will escort him personally." He pulled out his ember and drew up Vincent's soul from his body, then disappeared.
Morning came and police and firefighters was coming to the area. Jane used a spell to return all of Rory's feathers to her wings. And Carlos used his ring to make himself and the others from Auradon unseen by the police and firefighters. Lucifer and Chloe stood together, and Lucifer asked, "So, how's your wound?" Chloe showed Lucifer that it was gone, "Carlos healed wit completely with that potion of his." "Thank Dad," Lucifer said. "Because you could have been closer to Heaven than I would have liked. Because I don't have any more life saving rings." Chloe replied, "Lucifer, it's August 5th. There's no question. We did it. I don't know how, but we did it." Lucifer chuckled, "We did, didn't we?"
He looked over and saw Rory pacing. He also saw a glimmer of Carlos sitting with his friends who were all being very attentive of him. Lucifer asked Chloe, "Would you give me a moment? And don't go anywhere." Chloe chuckled, "Funny." Lucifer held up her hand and kissed it, then put it down and walked over to Rory and asked, "Why so glum? I mean, I am still here, after all. And thanks to you, so is your brother." Rory sighed, "Yeah, but so am I." Lucifer replied, "Yes. We all are. One big happy, half-celestial, half-human family. With some magic through into the mix. Crisis averted, right?" Rory sighed, "But if I'm still here in the past, does that mean my future still happens exactly how I lived it? Or because I came here, my future isn't going to be the same. Will you still abandon me? Will Carlos leave? Or will things change? Is this still a time loop, paradox, whatever? I've been thinking about what Hades said and maybe he's right. Me coming here could have changed things. Or maybe I'm the one who sets things in motion. Maybe you will still leave. And I don't know why."
Eventually, Lucifer, Chloe, Rory, Carlos, Jane, Mal, Evie, Jay, and Dude went to the penthouse. "Nice digs," Jay said. Lucifer chuckled, "Thank you. Now I think we all deserve a little rest. And a little celebration." Lucifer brought out some drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic and everyone started to relax. Lucifer updated Chloe on Dan's situation. "Dan's in Heaven?" Chloe asked. "He did it. He actually did it." "But how?" Rory asked. "That's what I'm still trying to figure out," Lucifer said. "But still," Jane added. "I'm surprised souls can do that." Chloe then realized, "It was Dan that went to see Trixie, when he was still in Le Mec's body. Uh, camp called and said Trixie was talking to some stranger. That he said he was friends with her dad." Carlos thought about it, then said, "She must have said something important to him." Chloe said, "He'd been avoiding her this whole time. What made Dan go and see her?" "I did," Lucifer revealed. "What did you say to him?" Rory asked. Lucifer explained, "I just told him it's not important what you do with your time. It's more important who you spend it with." Carlos realized, "Dad, you got him to Heaven." Chloe realized, "Like you did with Lee." "Oh," Lucifer said. "Mr. Said Out Bitch." "You broke his hell loop too," Chloe added. Lucifer clarified, "Well, to be fair, Lee broke his own hell loop. I just showed him a path. Or rather, a door, to be precise. Like a wise therapist once said to me, I can't give you the right answers, only the right questions." "Very insightful," Evie commented.
Chloe then said, "But still, Lucifer, you helped them. You helped them both." "And me," Rory added. "I almost killed Le Mec. I wanted to. It was so close. I wanted revenge on him. For kidnapping me. Taking my feathers. Almost killing you, Dad and Carlos. But when I looked into your eyes, Dad, I knew you understood my anger and my guilt more than anyone else could." Lucifer stood up and walked over to her, "That's because I didn't want you to repeat my sins. To succumb to that monster that's inside of you. Feel the pain that I felt." "We all felt the same," Mal added. "I mean, all of our parents are villains, except Jane. We grew up in an environment where we could of easily turned out like them. But we didn't. And here we are now." "Well," Evie said. "We still have wickedly good fashion." Jay added, "And we're still rotten to the core." Carlos stood up, "I get it, sis. I was there once too. I almost killed Uncle Michael because of all the pain he caused me. And being the reason Dad died, before he came right back. I was so angry and I wanted to give into that monster. But he came and I saw the exact same thing you did. And I didn't give in."
Rory said, "Maybe that's the real reason I came back in time. So you could help me." Chloe added, "So you could help everyone. Every Dan down in Hell who deserves another chance." "Dad," Carlos said. "When I first came here, you helped me control my powers and made me a better person because of them. You showed me love when my own mother didn't. You brought me out of that darkness. Although Jane had a part in that too." Jane smiled, "Yes I did." Lucifer thought about it, "Well, I suppose I do know what it's like to fall. And also to rise. Oh, you cheeky bastard." "Who?" Chloe asked. "My dad," Lucifer answered. "He said I'd figure it out, and I did. When he said Hell no longer needs a keeper, it doesn't. It needs a healer. Chloe, I think I finally found my calling."
Rory then said, "This, this is why you leave. In my future." Lucifer replied, "What? No, I can just pop down to Hell, save a few souls and then pop back up here again. It doesn't have to be a full time job. I mean, look at Amenadiel. He's becoming a part time God. So I can still be in your life, in everyone's lives." Rory wanted to argue but Carlos instead said, "Maybe in your future Dad leaves like this. And yeah, maybe he has to be gone for certain bits of time, but he doesn't have to abandon you. I think you coming here from your future showed us a future that we could have. A future we don't want. We still write our own destiny. Yes, Dad still leaves, but not forever. He just….can't be in our lives as much as he wants to. I think it's going to be the same with Uncle Amenadiel." Rory thought about it, and realized Carlos was right. Lucifer looked over at Carlos, "Are you OK with me not being around as much? Being away for a week, month, year?" Carlos nodded, "Yeah, I think I am. I'll still miss you, but I understand that this is your calling. Something that you have to do." Rory then said, "Then the future I go back to won't be the one I left. But maybe I was always meant to come back here. Because I felt anger at my dad. In my future for abandonment. Maybe I'll still be angry at you not being around all the time and then time will be safe. So, Mom, Dad, Carlos, you three can't tell me any of this after I am born. Yes my future will change, but I still have to come back here to help Lucifer see his calling for lost souls. Because I was one of those lost souls. And I am the one who asked you to do this. That I think is something that's fixed in time. But how you go about it is up to you." "Time travel is complicated," Dude mentioned.
"Indeed." Everyone turned to see Hades standing there. "Dad," Mal said. "How long have you been standing there?" "A while," Hades answered. "And I see that the kid finally saw the light. As she's right. Lucifer leaving to help save the souls of Hell must happen, as three lovely Fates told me, but how long he's gone for is in flux. Lucifer, you said you're doing this part time. Maybe I can help cover for you when you want to come back here to visit your family." "Dad," Mal said. "Are you sure?" Hades walked over to Mal, "My daughter, abandoning you was the worst mistake I ever made. I missed out on so much of your childhood, leaving you with that mother of yours. Lucifer already missed out on Carlos' childhood as he didn't know he had a son. So I want to help him be a part of his daughter's life. And continued to be a part of his son's. Don't worry, I'll do the same as him and only be gone for bits at a time. Because I still want to be a part of your life." "But what about the Isle?" Evie asked. Hades shrugged, "I can think of a couple redeemed villains who can watch over it while I'm gone. Or maybe some VKs that can." "I can," Jay volunteered. "The Isle is still a part of me. And I want to watch over it. Even the bad parts."
Rory looked up at Lucifer, "Dad, you helped me at my lowest. You said you wanted to be there for me. You were when I needed you most. And now you'll change my future. In a good way." Rory hugged Lucifer and he reciprocated the hug. Suddenly a white light appeared behind Rory and Lucifer asked, "What's happening?" Rory pulled away, "I'm going back." Lucifer wanted to stop it from happening, but Chloe and Carlos put their hands on Lucifer. "Dad," Carlos said. "She did what she came here to do. Now she has to go back. It's time. Plus, I did make a deal with a certain God to make sure she goes back to her own time." Chloe nodded, "Lucifer, she needs to go back." Rory looked at all three, "Please give me your word. That my future will be better, but that you won't say anything until the moment I travelled back in time so that I will still come to convince Dad to take up his calling. Give me your word. All of you." Lucifer held back tears and said, "You have my word." Chloe and Carlos nodded in agreement. Carlos added, "I'll see you on the other side, sis. I won't leave you. You'll get that big brother you always wanted." Rory started to cry, "I love you all. And I'll see you soon." Rory then disappeared back to her own time.
Later, Lucifer walked down to Lux and looked around. He walked over to the piano and started to play, but then Chloe and Carlos walked over. Chloe said, "So, Lucifer Morningstar, is that like a stage name or something?" Lucifer chuckled, "God-given, I'm afraid. Old God, of course, not AmenaGod." "Seriously?" Carlos asked. "That's what you're calling Uncle Amenadiel now?" Lucifer laughed, "Yeah, weird name, I know." He then looked up at Carlos, "I am going to miss you, son. It's going to be a while until you'll see me again." "I understand," Carlos replied. "We all have things we need to do. I mean, college is about to start up for me. I need to get that degree so I can become a vet. Besides, I have my Auradon family at my side. Including the woman I love most." He looked behind him and saw Jane, Mal, Evie, Jay, Dude, and Hades standing there. Carlos turned back to Lucifer, "They'll look after me while you're gone. Plus, now that I faced my fear of visiting Hell, I can come visit you. Even be a messenger."
He then leaned in and whispered into Lucifer's ear, "And maybe you should do something about that ring you've been hiding for a while." Lucifer was shocked and Chloe was confused. Carlos pulled away, "When I was talking about mine with you, I could see the look in your eyes. You've been wanting to do the same thing. With Chloe. Maybe I can also be the messenger with planning." Lucifer chuckled, "I see you to that." Lucifer stood up and pulled Carlos into a hug, "I love you son." "I love you too, Dad," Carlos replied. Lucifer pulled away, "Now go and get that degree. I'll see you soon." Carlos smiled, "Will do." He walked towards his Auradon family as a portal opened. Carlos turned back one last time and smiled at his dad. He then turned back as Jane held out her hand and Carlos took it. Then all of the Auradon people went through the portal and it closed behind them.
Lucifer then turned to Chloe, "I know this is what I'm meant to do, and I know that it feels right. It's my calling. But that doesn't mean I'll leave you forever. Because we're partners 'till the end. And I want to be partners forever." Lucifer then knelt down on one knee and pulled out a diamond ring from his pocket. Chloe gasped and put her hand over her mouth. "Chloe Jane Decker," Lucifer said. "Will you marry me?" Chloe nodded, "Yes." Lucifer put the ring on Chloe's hand and said, "Now I may not be around as much as you would want with your husband. But I promise to always protect our family and be there whenever I can. And I can't be here for the wedding planning. But my son did just promise to be your messenger to give me updates and my opinion." Chloe chuckled, "So that's what that was about. Now I get it."
Lucifer sighed, "I don't want to leave you now, and maybe we can celebrate for a while before…." "Lucifer," Chloe interrupted. "Listen. Remember that we are doing this for Rory's sake. You can't be there for everything." Lucifer replied, "I don't want to leave you. Leave my son. Leave our daughter. But I promise that I will come back when I can." Chloe smiled, "I know. You won't abandon me. Our daughter. Because you write your own destiny. But remember. We may not be together all the time. But I will always be with you, even if you can't see me. And it'll be the same down there. No matter where you go. No matter where you are. I'll be with you. I'll be with you always."
Lucifer closed his eyes and pictured himself sitting on his throne in Hell and having Chloe in his arms, despite her not being there. He opened his eyes and smiled up at Chloe. Chloe said, "I think you're gonna miss my incredible musical prowess the most." Lucifer chuckled, "Really? I think there are a few other talents I'm gonna miss a lot more that I will definitely exploit when I come visit." Chloe asked, "What? Like my ability to snore like an Albanian field wench?" Lucifer laughed, "Yes. Exactly that." Lucifer started to play the piano silently and added, "Also, I am not going to leave all the wedding planning to you. Like I said earlier, Carlos volunteered to be our messenger. And if you need me to come up for anything, emergency or otherwise, just pray to me and I'll hear it. I'm sure that Hades will cover for me as he offered. I know that I have to miss some things, but I don't want to miss the important ones." Chloe nodded, "All right." Lucifer then stood up and said, "I have to go now. I will see you soon, Detective." Chloe gave him one last kiss, then Lucifer pulled away, unfurled his wings, and disappeared down to Hell.
Up in Heaven, Amenadiel took the throne of God. His siblings came to him and bowed to him, but he made them all stand as he wanted to share the responsibilities of God with him, as like he said, he was going to be a part time God.
Ella continued to date Carol and eventually married him. They both worked hard for the STEM Initiative that Lucifer started for her.
Chloe returned to the LAPD and everyone, especially Ella, were thrilled at her return. Chloe started back as a Detective, but quickly worked her way to Detective, promoting Sonya as Detective and they helped make LAPD a better place. Amenadiel would secretly visit to see how things were going with Chloe and Sonya and was happy to see the progress.
Dan was finally up in Heaven. He reunited with Charlotte and they spent the rest of eternity with each other.
Linda and Amenadiel continued to raise Charlie. Linda accepted Amenadiel's new role as part time God. On Charlie's second birthday, Amenadiel was thrilled to see that Charlie's wings appeared for the first time.
Maze and Eve continued with their bounty hunting and were happily enjoying married life.
Lucifer was true to his word about visiting whenever Chloe needed him. Carlos also kept his word about being the messenger for the both of them. Chloe would call Carlos with updates and then Carlos would visit Hell to give his dad those updates. Lucifer would then look over the wedding plans Chloe came up with and gave his opinions/changes. He was also happy to see his son visit.
Lucifer knew that the new adjustments to Hell would take some time, but it all turned out well in the end. He made a room in Hell look exactly like Linda's office and he started to have sessions with the souls and he was making progress. Whenever Lucifer wanted/needed to head back to Earth, Hades stepped in for Lucifer. Hades was surprisingly a good backup as even though he was a dark god of the Underworld before, he was on the side of good now and worked with the lost souls to help them find their guilt and relieve it so that they could go to Heaven.
After much debate, Lucifer and Chloe decided to tell Trixie everything, since Lucifer was about to become her stepfather. Trixie surprisingly took it all well as she was starting to have her suspicions. Carlos even came and after Lucifer and Chloe told her everything about Lucifer, Carlos told her everything about Auradon. He even revealed his true white hair and used some illusion magic as proof. Trixie was in awe over all of it and gave Carlos a big hug and said that she was happy that Carlos was going to be her stepbrother soon.
College started for Carlos and Jane and it kept both of them busy. Carlos enjoyed his classes and learned a lot. Dude didn't like that he had to be the dummy for when Carlos was studying animal anatomy and did practice sessions on Dude. Jane eventually got her own wand and was starting to learn magic from different fairies as she was going to take over being the head of the Fairy Council from her mother.
The wedding of Chloe Decker and Lucifer Morningstar happened three months after Lucifer left for Hell. It was a beach wedding. Carlos was Lucifer's best man and Trixie was Chloe's maid of honor. Amenadiel was the officiant. Chloe wore a simple wedding dress that still left Lucifer in awe. Lucifer couldn't help himself and gave Chloe a huge passionate kiss when Amenadiel said to kiss the bride. The reception was crazy but fun. Lucifer and Chloe went on a week honeymoon before Lucifer had to return to Hell.
Chloe gave birth to Rory in the following spring. Hades was the one to go to Hell and tell Lucifer that Chloe was in labor. Lucifer went back to Earth quickly and was at Chloe's side in the hospital room. Trixie and Carlos was sitting out in the waiting room. Once the birth happened, Carlos and Trixie went in to meet their little sister. Trixie held her first then handed her off to Carlos, who smiled and said, "Welcome to the world, little sis." He then handed Rory to Lucifer, and Carlos noticed that Lucifer seemed more at ease compared when he first held Charlie. Lucifer looked at Carlos, "I still wish I held you at this age, son." Carlos smiled, "It's OK, Dad. You being in my life now more than makes up for it." After a couple days, Lucifer, Chloe, Trixie, and Carlos took Rory to Chloe's home and people were there waiting for them: Maze, Eve, Linda, Amenadiel, Ella, and Carol. They all had gifts for her and congratulated them. Lucifer and Carlos stayed with Chloe, Trixie, and Rory for two weeks before needing to head back to Hell/Auradon respectfully. Lucifer made sure to visit every few months.
Carlos and Jane graduated from college four years later. All of Carlos' family and friends from LA (minus Carol) went to his graduation in Auradon. Ella and Trixie were in awe of Auradon. All of Carlos' and Jane's family and friends from Auradon were there as well and Ben gave a speech at the graduation. They had a big party afterwards and Carlos announced that he was going to start up his own vet practice. Jane was going to help for a bit before her time on the Fairy council started.
A couple months after graduation, Carlos and Jane married in Auradon. Jay was Carlos' best man and Lonnie was Jane's maid of honor. Rory was the flower girl and Charlie was the ring bearer. Ben was the officiant. Jane wore a beautiful white and light blue princess wedding dress and Carlos wore a black tuxedo that had some white and red in it. Both outfits were designed by Evie of course. Mal was the wedding planner this time. Lucifer cried the entire time, even though he tried to hide it. Carlos and Jane walked back down the aisle as a married couple. The reception was a huge party and Maze made sure there was good alcohol. Carlos and Jane went off on their honeymoon. Lucifer had sat down with Carlos beforehand and gave Carlos a sex talk. Carlos was embarrassed at first but Lucifer reassured him that he would be fine. He just wanted to make sure that he knew how to please a woman like he did. Carlos definitely took some of those pointers into account when he and Jane made love on their honeymoon and beyond.
Lucifer and Carlos both made sure to be there as often as they could for Rory and Chloe. Lucifer couldn't be there for everything, but he made sure that Rory never felt abandoned. Carlos did get out of her that she felt mad that Lucifer couldn't be there all the time but Carlos just said, "It's just the way it is." Carlos, Lucifer, and Chloe made sure that they never told her about her jump back in time as Hades had informed them that it still had to happen to keep time in check, even though the reason was now slightly different. And they wanted to keep their promise to Rory.
Years passed. Chloe was now in her 90's and on her deathbed. Carlos didn't age much and looked like he was still in his 20s/30s. Same with Jane. Along with Mal as she was half god/half fairy after all. She did give some of her blood to Ben so that his lifespan would be longer like hers. Carlos eventually closed his practice and helped Jane out full time when she took over the Fairy Council and became the new Fairy Godmother. They eventually had children, a boy named Christopher and a girl named Jeanna. Ben and Mal eventually handed their crowns over to their eldest son and retired. The rest of their Auradon friends were getting older and retiring and they wanted to spend time together.
Rory did end up still going back in time when Chloe was on her deathbed as she was angry that Lucifer didn't show up to be with his wife and daughter, as even though he was there at certain times, he wasn't there all the time and that still made Rory angry enough to travel back in time to figure out why he wasn't always there for her, same with Carlos.
When Rory returned from the past, she was bombarded with new memories that she didn't have, as she was now in a new timeline. Her head hurt as her brain was processing two timelines' worth of memories. Rory sat down in the chair next to her mother's bed and Chloe looked at her, "Look who's back. I bet your brain is having a field day right now." "Hi, Mom," Rory replied. "Yeah. I still have the memories from my original timeline, but I'm now getting memories from the new one. It's like I experienced both at the same time. But how did you do it? You knew that I would go back in time, that my future would change. How did you, Dad, and Carlos keep all that inside for so long? I mean, all that you had to endure, like my anger and my yelling and crying. You three just stood there and let me do it. I see that now with these new memories." Chloe replied, "No parent wants to see their child in pain. But it's part of the job." Rory cried, "Yeah, but all that you three went through. All just because I asked you to. Thank you."
Suddenly a portal appeared and Carlos stepped through it. Carlos looked over at Rory and said, "Hey, sis." Rory stood up and hugged Carlos, "You're here. You didn't leave after all. Thank you for keeping your word." Carlos hugged her back, "I guess those new memories are coming in, huh?" They pulled apart and Carlos walked over to Chloe, "It's time, Chloe. He's waiting." Chloe nodded and looked over at Rory, "I'm gonna miss you, honey." Rory chuckled, "Mom, I'm an angel, remember? I'll see you on the other side." Chloe smiled, "It's a date." She then closed her eyes and took her last breath. Rory and Carlos cried silently. Rory then asked, "So when should we go visit?" Carlos chuckled, "Let's give them a little time. Dad hasn't visited her here on Earth in a while. They need some time alone. Even though they now all of eternity to spend together."
Chloe appeared in Heaven and Amenadiel was there waiting for her, "Are you ready to go home?" Chloe nodded and took Amenadiel's hand and he guided her away.
Down in Hell, Lucifer was in the middle of a session. He had three souls with him, Reese Getty, Linda's ex husband, Vincent Le Mec, and Cain. Reese was complaining, "I don't understand. Every time I go through my hell loop, I keep making the same mistakes." Lucifer replied, "Well, that's because you're avoiding your guilt, Reese. You need to confront it. You all do." Cain scoffed, "Yeah, I have millennia worth of guilt." Reese continued, "I don't know. I'm telling you, no matter how hard I try, it feels like I'm destined to make the wrong choice." Lucifer chuckled, "Ah. The old fate versus free will debate. My favorite. But you see, fate is just a result of the choices that you make. But your fate isn't set in stone. You all write your own destiny. Something my son always says." Cain chuckled, "Still find it weird that you have a son, along with a daughter." Reese asked, "Do you really think it's possible to change?" Lucifer nodded, "Of course. I mean, look at me. For millennia I was down here, stuck in my own hell loop of sorts, thinking I deserved to be in charge of people's punishment. And then even when I left, I found myself in a cycle of selfishness and violence, debauchery, sex. Yeah, I mean, clearly it wasn't all bad, but the point is that with the right guidance and the right help, I was able to change, to grow. To find true meaning in life."
Reese sighed, "I wish I could just take it all back. Everything that I did on Earth." Lucifer smiled, "I hear you. I felt that way too. I wished I could do everything differently, but then, I wouldn't be the devil I am right now, sitting across from you, right here, would I?" Reese sighed, "I don't know. Maybe I'm just a lost cause." "Nonsense, Reese," Lucifer replied. "And certainly not on my watch. Because if the devil can be redeemed, then anyone can." Vincent then said, "And if you can't, uh, I can just shoot you in the face. Put you out of your misery, no?" Lucifer sighed, "No, Vincent. Nobody will be shooting anyone in the face. Clearly, you're going to need a little more time." "Why?" Vincent asked. "I said sorry about kidnapping your daughter and nearly killing your son." "Ouch," Cain said. "No wonder you're in Hell. I didn't do anything that bad." Lucifer corrected, "Cain, you still did bad things. And you clearly haven't gotten over your guilt. So you need more time too."
Hades then suddenly appeared, "OK, I am taking over this session." "Wait, why?" Lucifer asked. Hades looked down at Lucifer, "Because someone just arrived that's going to need your attention for a while." Hades pointed to the door. Lucifer stood up and opened the door to see Chloe standing there, "Hello, Detective." Chloe smiled, "I thought you could use a partner." Lucifer replied, "I do. But we have a little time, thanks to Hades. We have things to do. So, shall we?" Lucifer walked to her and closed the door behind him. He pulled her in for a kiss.
Carlos saw this on the mirror and smiled, "Happily reunited. Together forever again." Rory then asked, "So they need some time alone like you said?" Carlos nodded, "Yeah. Now, come on. A trip to Auradon for you. For some brother/sister time." Carlos opened a portal and Rory stepped through. Carlos said to himself as he looked back at the mirror, while stepping through the portal, "See you soon, Dad. I'm still proud to be the son of the Devil. As I'll always be a De Vil."
