The sun shone and a gentle wind blew. Eve was walking through the park when she happened to recognize Linda sitting on a bench, doing nothing, just staring at the quiet playground. Veering slightly off to the left, Eve stopped beside the bench, where she grew tired of waiting for the therapist to notice her. She cleared her throat and finally, Linda looked up at her.

"Eve! Hi."

"Hey, Dr. Linda. Mind if I join you?"

"Please."

Eve sat beside her, proceeding to lean forward, put her chin in her hands, and stare at the quiet playground. Linda observed her, eyes alternating from the slide to the world's first woman, gazing ahead with impossibly large eyes. Though she was silent, Linda felt a sudden intrusion on the catharsis she was trying to have. Finally she addressed the partial person. "I can't help but notice you seem to be carrying a heavy burden."

"Well, what about you?"

"Me, oh, I was out walking, enjoying my alone time now that Amenadiel's got the baby. You know, I always have Charlie, so this... This peace and quiet, it's a little thin on the ground."

"Hm. I have too much alone time, since Maze broke up with me."

"She did?"

"I think she did," Eve said, lifting her shoulders. "I'm not sure, I mean, I've only been dumped the one time."

"One time?" Linda repeated, and hesitated, finally saying, "Oh, my God!"

Eve ducked her head.

"And you're old. I mean―you're suuuper old," Linda continued. "That is...impressive, really, I mean wow!"

"Oh, it's nothing. I snuck out of heaven, which was a really effective way of ending my marriage to Adam. And Lucifer..."

"Yeah, what happened there? I thought you were in a relationship with him back in the days of Eden."

"We were. But, Luce wasn't the one I was created for, so God terminated our relationship. Luce rebelled, and I, foolishly, waited many millennia before disobeying God myself."

"I see. Well, Eve, I don't... I don't think you waited out of foolishness."

"Why, do you think?"

"Trepidation. You're a...a good person. And I think you were more scared of the retribution than you realized, more than anyone realized. If Lucifer was being straightforward, you were a notorious party girl. You likely fooled people by mistake, perhaps even angels. It takes a lot of courage to break into a store, Eve. It must require a million times more to bust out of heaven."

"I didn't feel brave. I felt..." Eve broke off and sighed. "Invisible. And bored to death. Everything was always the same, perfection and paradise. No adventure, no excitement, never anything new. Coming to earth, I thought things would be better. But I got tossed aside like day-old trash at a shady nightclub. Now this, I just... I miss being invisible. You know? No one hurt me."

"Well, pain is always the cost of...not perfect."

"I know. I just didn't think Luce would hurt me."

"I hear you. Yeah, I didn't think Amenadiel would hurt me."

"How did he hurt you?"

"Oh, it's simple. He said he once looked down on humans like ants, and consider us inferior. Key word, once, implying growth. Then he turns around and says angels are better. I mean―make up your mind! Which is it?"

Eve shook her head, quietly contemplating.

"Okay. Not simple," Linda added. "I don't get it. Then he went and 'became God' without even thinking of Charlie, without even telling me! I mean―even the devil asked his girlfriend what she thought of him taking God's place. But the superior angel couldn't be bothered. Yes, I'm hurt!"

"Okay, but being in charge of the entire universe, every galaxy, every soul, is literally the best excuse anyone could have, right?"

Linda contemplated, then tilted her head back, huffing a sigh. "I suppose."

"I mean, it's a couple steps higher than the old, 'My dog ate my homework.' Actually, a...a stairway to heaven higher."

"You're right. It is. It is the best excuse," Linda said simply.

They sat in companionable silence awhile longer, then Eve surveyed the quiet playground and abandoned walkway. "Is the park closed today?"

"Nope. Wiiide open."

"Ah."

"I so wanted to be enjoying myself. But all I'm seeing is what Charlie and I could be doing." Linda bit her lip, then looked over her shoulder at the world's first woman. "Tell me something. Do you still emphasize the importance of something new and exciting?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, what is life, if everything's old and boring?"

Linda was contemplating the sheer absence of mystery from almighty Amenadiel, and wondering how bored he would be, when the final chorus of Hell's Bells began coming from her pocket. She pulled it out and answered without looking at the caller ID. "Hey, Lucifer."

"Do you know where Eve is?" he asked, his tone implying he was tired of asking the question.

Linda stared at Eve. "As a matter of fact, I do."

"Ah, splendid. I need to see her, quick as possible. Can you direct her to Lux, escort her maybe?"

"Yeah. Yeah, we're on our way," Linda said, and silently motioned to Eve as she began standing. Eve copied her.

"Thank you, dear Doctor," Lucifer said, and disconnected.

"Where to?"

"The shady nightclub in question."

Eve frowned as Linda drew ahead of her. "Great," she said, and began to follow.

Coming out of the elevator, Eve and Linda slowed down, taking in the bizarre sight of Lucifer, Chloe, Corbett, and Ella lined up in the middle of the room. "What's going on?" Linda inquired.

"My parents are going up to heaven," Lucifer said simply. "And I thought, why not invite Eve? Surely you're getting homesick by now."

"I'm not."

"What?"

"My home is here, Luce. Or at least, it was..." Eve paused, frowning as she pondered. "Now that I've lost Maze, I don't...I don't know anymore."

"Oh, well, trust me. You and she are definitely over. Maze has already been back to hell recently; you combine that with getting rid of her soul, and I'd say it's as plain as the nose on our faces."

"Okay, enough," Ella said. "Amenadiel has Charlie up in heaven right now, and I want to see him again before he's returned to...you," she added, in Linda's direction. "So can we please make haste on this silly human farewell?"

"Mother, please," Lucifer said, vastly confusing Linda and Eve. "I think if you bore the physical capacity to stay on earth a little longer, you might change as Amenadiel and I have."

"Oh, I doubt that. I don't need to change," the Goddess muttered, putting Ella's hands on her hips.

"Unfortunately we do need to hurry," Corbett muttered, inspecting his glowing hand. "I'm almost out of time."

"Yes, and I need to get out of these human limits," Goddess added. "I'm not very fond of being blind as a bat."

"You mean, not omniscient?" Lucifer inquired.

"That's what I just said!"

"Well...I am pleased you'll finally be together in this universe," Lucifer said. "With your children."

"Well, I suppose I am looking forward to it," Ella grumbled. She hooked her arm through Corbett's. "It was nice to see you all. Lucifer, I suppose I'll be seeing you soon?"

Lucifer spared the quiet, contemplating Eve a glance of thinly-veiled impatience. "Yes, Mother, very soon."

"Good. I look forward to attending our next family dinner. Can you imagine how missing out on the first family dinner in eons must have felt?"

"Is this what you call making haste?" God asked.

"Easy, please...don't bludgeon this universe, too," Lucifer mumbled.

"Oh, relax, we'll get you a new toy," Goddess said dismissively, making Chloe shake her head. "Finally, I was only two millennia away from having the centaur versions of Chris Hemsworth and Megan Fox procreate the warrior queen of the dinosaurs!"

"Only two millennia?" Lucifer repeated.

"Oh, well, I skipped over the ludicrous caveman phase your father went through. I also didn't create sin or disbelief. There were no pursuits of knowledge, mind, but it was so beautiful. Until you destroyed it," she added, turning her focus to God. "Why did you fight with me?"

"A fight takes two people," he said, calmly.

"Ah, yes. I suppose I should have been the obedient, subservient wife you created, then!"

At the look on God's face, it suddenly dawned on Chloe that even the beautiful, perfect, almighty Goddess was a plaything. She didn't realize she was slowly backing up until she felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned to look at Eve, to whom she whispered, "This is incredible."

"It's scary."

Chloe nodded, even though the last emotion she felt was fear. Amazement, anger, pain, gratitude, homesickness―but not fear. Not at the subtle rays of light poking through their skin, and not at the faint rumbling in the walls.

Then Lucifer was intervening in their almighty squabble. "Okay, my pregnant fiancée is standing right here, so you and you, go. Go on, then, off to heaven," he insisted, and shooed his parents like mosquitoes. "Off you pop. You're not welcome at Lux anymore."

Linda gasped. "You're engaged?" she whispered.

"Yeah! Mm-hmm," Chloe said, nodding again.

"Okay! Okay. Fine, son," Ella said, and looped her arm through God's merely to display civility. "I'll just have you know that going to heaven will not save you from universal destruction."

"Well, you keeping your knickers on might! How's about you give that a try?"

"Keep my knickers on? I go through life thinking I am a goddess, then I find out I'm a marionette and...and you want me to keep my knickers on?"

"Sucks, right?" Chloe interjected.

"Except you are a goddess, Mother, just like the century before, and the century before that, and the 100 billion centuries before that. So I want you to go home, and shut your divine pie hole, okay? Do us a favor, be thankful you're here at all. Lest you replace another universe."

Goddess frowned as she surveyed the semi-mortal angel she had helped create, chastising her, of all beings. "You and I, Lucifer, have our own business to settle. I'll see you very soon," she said, in a deceptively soft voice. Then she turned and strode to the balcony; more and more light shining through with every step she took, until she was just the glowing form of a girl in the night. Then, Ella's head cranked back, and the light of the goddess came bursting out of her mouth and shot into the heavens with a deafening roar.

"When good pets go bad," God muttered.

"What?" Lucifer asked.

"The good times we had," he said, and smiled as he went to the balcony. "Eve, Chloe, Linda. Until we meet again."

"Wait," Eve blurted, as God stopped beside Ella's fallen body. "Uh, sir. Mr. God. Um, are Maze and I over?"

Chloe shook her head again, observing the reticence on his face. "Your son is God now. You don't need to be mysterious."

His eyes went briefly to her disapproval, then he looked at Eve and nodded. "You are indeed. Maze intends to go to hell to reign as the soulless queen she desired to become."

"And me?" Eve asked, and bit her lip.

"As you were. In heaven."

She nodded sadly, watching him glow brighter and brighter, until even Lucifer was squinting in pain against the blinding light. The floor began to quake, until finally God came bursting free, roaring up into heaven in a thick column of light. What appeared to be sheet lightning rippled through the clouds before all was dark and still. As Lucifer walked swiftly to the fallen friends at the LAPD, Eve turned and walked swiftly to the bar. She poured herself a drink, her large eyes taking in the setting that reminded her of Mazikeen the most.

"I'm sorry, Eve."

"At least he gave me a straight answer this time," she mumbled, and gyrated her glass, watching the liquid swirl. "Now I can stop wasting my time on her. Serves me right, marrying a demon," she added, and drank her glass empty.

"So how do you...see you spending your time tomorrow?" Chloe asked.

"I'm actually on a break from catching my bounty. But, ugh, I don't...I don't think I want to be a bounty hunter anymore. I only got into it because of Maze, and..." She sighed, adding, "I just want to forget her."

"So. Heaven?"

"I guess it's inevitable. But Adam's there. I don't want to rush into that; I want to enjoy my time here, on earth. But without her, I-I can't." Eve shook her head, setting the glass on the counter. "I'm sorry, I need to go. I need...to go," she finally concluded, as she walked to the elevator.

"Where's Eve gone?" Lucifer asked, as he escorted the dazed and confused Corbett and Ella inside.

"Um...a walk. Just a walk," Chloe said nonchalantly.

"Oh my gosh, you guys. I love her hair," Ella babbled. "Like, I've tried growing mine out, and I can't stand it, but then I see people with hair like that and I just want to try again, you know? It's... Wait. Wait, where's Pete? I― No, because the last thing I remember, he's trying to kill me."

"Yeah, the last thing I remember is being in your office," Corbett told Linda.

"Oh, gosh, it sounds like a pesky multi-personality sitch. No matter. It's all sorted," Lucifer said.

"Really?" Corbett asked, and looked at Linda.

She nodded, awkwardly. "I'm...I'm very good."

"I'll drink to that," Lucifer said, as he moved towards the bar. "Actually, I'll drink to anything."

Linda glanced at Corbett's disturbed expression. "He's not a client."

Ella turned to gawk at Lucifer, and asked, "You completed your therapy?"

Linda dropped her head.
