Plot[]

The episode opens immediately after the last left off, in Lux with a dead man. Lucifer tells Chloe that he didn't kill Jacob, and she says that it doesn't matter what she believes. He replies that is all that matters. Chloe then orders him to put his hands up. Laughing bitterly, Lucifer says that the joke is on him, and Chloe tells him to come peacefully. He advances on her, hurt, and says, "I'm accepting my role in all of this. All of humanity's sins are the Devil's fault, right? I mean, I thought you knew different, but I was wrong. You're just like all the others. So, why not add one more murder to the pile?" She tries to tell him that's not how it is, but he confronts a rookie, taunting him, and reaches into his pocket, the man panics and shoots even as Chloe screams, "Don't!" Lucifer vanishes, and Chloe tells the officers to search the area.

113 Lucifer Hopeless

Lucifer at the roof.

Lucifer is deposited on the roof by Amenadiel. Lucifer asks, "Can we not tell anyone you just carried me in your arms like a baby?" Amenadiel wants to know what Lucifer was trying to accomplish. Lucifer replies, "...a good death? Or at least a nice and messy one. But then you had to come and ruin everything, like always. Why'd you swoop in and stop it? Wouldn't let someone else send me to Hell, is that it? Well, guess what, brother, you don't need to kill me, because I'm done here. I've had my fun on Earth, and... there's no reason for me to stay anymore. You win. I'll go willingly. Please, just... take me back to Hell." Amenadiel refuses, having finally realized Lucifer is right and that people have died because of what he did to get his brother to go back to Hell.

113 Malcolm with demon dagger

Malcolm with a demon dagger.

Malcolm arrives as the CSI team is processing evidence at Lux. He confronts Dan about what happened to Lucifer, and Dan says that Lucifer disappeared and is on the run. When an officer cuts himself on one of Maze's daggers in evidence, Malcolm says that he'll take it to the station, and walks away with the blade. Chloe talks to Dan privately, and tells him that Lucifer is innocent. Dan doesn't believe it, and Chloe points out that Lucifer is a man of passion, but the preacher was shot in the head execution style, with no passion. A officer finds what appears to be the murder weapon, and Dan knows that Lucifer's prints will be on the gun, it's the one he gave to Malcolm from evidence. He realizes what is going on, and tells his ex that they need to talk somewhere else.

Back on the roof, Amenadiel says he lost sight of the bigger picture, "...the cost of my actions, and just how truly selfish they were. But, Luci, my eyes are wide open now, and I need to make this right." He asks Lucifer to help make make things right, and needs to send Malcolm back to Hell. Lucifer seems pleased that he will be able to inflict one last punishment before he returns to Hell.

Amenadiel takes Lucifer to his office in Linda's building, and asks how Lucifer is going to find Malcolm. Lucifer complains that it seems that his brother wants him to do all the "heavy lifting" in their partnership. When Amenadiel asks what his problem is Lucifer replies, "good question, Doctor. Well, you see, the thing is that my brother has been trying to kill me and now he wants to work with me, but we can't seem to get along, mainly because he's an egotistical twit." At that point, Linda enters, and when she sees Lucifer on "Dr. Canaan's" couch she is angry that Amenadiel is stealing her patient, but Lucifer says that she is just what they need.

At Chloe's, she slaps Dan when she learns that he lied to her. He insists that he shot Malcolm to protect her, but Chloe points out that he let everyone think that she was delusional, let her think she was crazy. She tells Dan that he can make it right by proving Lucifer is innocent, but that she needs to find Lucifer because he thinks that she abandoned him.

Meanwhile, in Linda's office, Linda is told Amenadiel is Lucifer's brother, and they hope that she can fix their problems. She asks if Amenadiel is even a doctor, and Lucifer scoffs, "No, of course, he isn't. Gosh, if he had any clue about human nature, we wouldn't be in this mess." Amenadiel counter criticizes his brother, until Linda tells them to stop. She points out that Amenadiel lied to her about being a therapist so he could manipulate Lucifer, and that everything is a joke to Lucifer, "And yet, for some reason, I take you seriously, even when you insist on clinging to these ridiculous metaphors... Heaven, Hell, angels, devils." And that every time Lucifer comes to a moment of realization about himself, he takes it in the exact wrong direction. Lucifer exemplifies this by taking what she said and realizing that Malcolm will need to get a fake ID to start a new life, thanks Linda for her advice, and leaves with Amenadiel.

At Lux, Chloe finds Maze and asks where Lucifer is. Maze is angry that Chloe seems to be hunting Lucifer down, but Chloe says that she doesn't think Lucifer killed the preacher, and asks Maze where Lucifer would go. Maze says she seems to know Lucifer best these days, and asks her where she thinks Lucifer is going. Chloe figures that he's going to get punishment, "Which means he's going after Malcolm." She points out that if Lucifer finds Malcolm first, then he really will go down for murder. Maze insists on going with her, "I don't see anybody else backing you up."

Lucifer and Amenadiel arrive at a funeral home and Lucifer interrupts a service to talk with Neil Palmer, the funeral director. Neil leads Lucifer off to the side, and Lucifer says that five years ago, he came to Neil to get proper papers for himself, so he figures that Malcolm came there. Neil admits that Malcolm needed a fast job and had to get his hands on $100,000, and that he mentioned an associate, Tommy. Lucifer figures that Dan can help him track Malcolm down.

Chloe and Maze go to Malcolm's house, Chloe explains that she is a cop because she hates people getting away with things when they shouldn't. Someone opens fire on them with a shotgun and they take cover. Chloe tells the shooter to put the gun down, and Malcolm's wife, Mel, confirms that Malcolm isn't there. She explains that Malcolm has changed since he resuscitated. Maze understands that Malcolm has a new appetite for life and warns that it will only get worse. Mel says that they just missed Malcolm, he came by to get money, and he said he was going to get a beer.

Dan calls Chloe and says that he can't find any evidence tying Malcolm to the murders. Chloe tells Dan what Mel said, and Dan suggests that there is a bar where there is a guy who owes Malcolm money. Once Dan hangs up, he sees Lucifer and Amenadiel in his office. Amenadiel says that they need some information, giving him what they have, Dan makes the connection between Tommy and a beer, and Lucifer uses his mojo to make Dan say that he wants to redeem himself by taking down Malcolm. Dan tells them that a drug dealer named Tommy Campolongo who works out of an old brewery. He tells them to stay put, but Amenadiel flies them out when Dan looks away. Dan calls Chloe and tells her about Tommy, and she heads over.

At the brewery, Malcolm tells Tommy that he has some seizures in evidence that he can get for Tommy. Something echoes in the brewery, and Tommy checks the security cameras and discovers that his guards are down. Malcolm insists that it isn't him, and Tommy sends his men to investigate. Malcolm draws his gun and tells Tommy to load it with money from his safe.

Tommy's thugs confront Lucifer and Amenadiel. As the thugs draw their guns, Lucifer quietly suggests to Amenadiel that they avoid the time-stopping and just fight the thugs, and "enjoy the moment." The two celestials walk through a hail of bullets, unharmed, and take the men down. The last man tries to fire but his gun jams, and Lucifer tosses him across the room. Amenadiel suggests that they split up to cover more ground, and Lucifer agrees.

Chloe and Maze arrive and start searching the brewery, while elsewhere, Malcolm ambushes Amenadiel, stabbing him with the demon dagger he took from Lux. Lucifer arrives and Amenadiel collapses as Malcolm runs off. Amenadiel tells Lucifer to get Malcolm, but Lucifer tends to his wound and says that he hates being in anyone's debt. Maze arrives and realizes that Amenadiel was attacked with one of her blades. She tells Lucifer that she'll handle it, and tells Lucifer to find Malcolm. He goes after Malcolm.

Chloe sees Malcolm and fires at him, and he dropped a bag. Lucifer arrives and Chloe aims her gun and tells him not to move, "I'm not here to arrest you, Lucifer. I know you're innocent. I always have. So let's catch this bastard together and put an end to all this." Lucifer realizes that Chloe wants to clear his name so that she can keep working with him. Dan arrives with backup and says that he found the evidence to clear Lucifer.

At Lucifer's penthouse, Amenadiel tells Maze that he's made his peace with death; she tells him to shut up and let her help him. Amenadiel says that it will take something divine to heal him, and Maze takes out Lucifer's wing feather, explaining that she thought that she could use it to go back home. Amenadiel is surprised that she would give it to him, and Maze admits that she doesn't understand it either. When she touches the feather to Amenadiel's wound it glows intensely, filling the penthouse as it heals Amenadiel. As the scene ends, an exterior of the penthouse shows golden light shining out of every window.

At the precinct, Dan turns himself, "I removed a firearm from evidence lockup, and I gave it to Detective Malcolm Graham. I believe Detective Graham then used that weapon to shoot and kill Jacob Williams, the crime that Mr. Morningstar is suspected of." Lucifer is impressed, and calls Dan by name. As the unis take Dan away, Chloe gets a call from home. It's Malcolm, who says that he has Trixie and puts Chloe's daughter on the line. Once Chloe confirms that Trixie is okay, Malcolm tells her to bring him the money. He tells Chloe to keep Lucifer out of it or Trixie dies.

Chloe approaches the evidence sergeant and says that she needs to examine the bag taken from Malcolm. When Lucifer comes over, Chloe says that everything is fine. She takes the bag to her car, but Lucifer is waiting in a nearby police car and uses the PA to tell her to surrender. He figures that she's keeping secrets, and Chloe tells him that Malcolm has Trixie. She insists that her daughter's safety is all that matters. Chloe demands, "Promise me you'll let me go alone," and he gives his word. Chloe arrives at the hangar and Malcolm is satisfied that she came alone. He has her slide her guns over, and Chloe refuses to hand over the money until Trixie goes free. Malcolm sends Trixie to Chloe, and she tells her to hide until she can come find her. Once Trixie runs off, Chloe opens the trunk of her car and says that he doesn't need to kill her. He says that he was going to shoot her at Palmetto and figures that he's had a second chance.

A paper airplane lands at Malcolm's feet and Chloe runs off. Lucifer enters and tells Malcolm to give him the gun. Malcolm refuses, and Lucifer asks him what he desires. He asks if Malcolm really wants to kill Chloe with his second chance, and figures that he wants to live. Malcolm says that he wants to live more than almost anything, and shoots Lucifer in the gut. As Chloe watches, Lucifer collapses and Malcolm says, "You feel that? That's what it's like to die, my man. I know, 'cause I've done it. And what I want, more than anything... is for you to feel that pain. To go through what I did. Because we both know where you're going to." He takes out the Pentecostal Coin and holds it just out of Lucifer's reach, and says that he'll be sending Chloe right behind him. Malcolm then goes to find Chloe, while Lucifer talks to his Dad, "Dad... I need a favor.  I'll be the son You always wanted me to be.  I'll do as You ask.  Go where You want me to.  In exchange, all I ask is that You protect Chloe." With that, he dies and finds himself back in Hell. He walks through the corridors to a room, and realizes that it's open. Lucifer insists that it isn't possible... and resurrects back in the hangar. Eyes glowing red, he goes looking for Malcolm.

Among the shelves, Malcolm finds Chloe and prepares to shoot her. Lucifer punches him first, and Chloe grabs her gun from the floor and shoots Malcolm repeatedly in the chest. Dying, Malcolm tells Lucifer that he has his coin and he'll be back. He discovers that the coin is gone. Lucifer holds it up and says that he knows a Guy, who apparently wants him back on earth. He tosses it up into the air and the coin disappears. Lucifer kneels and watches Malcolm die.

Chloe calls to Trixie and she comes out. As they hug, Lucifer comes over and confirms that Malcolm killed him. She reminds him of his promise, and Lucifer points out that he didn't say anything about following. Chloe realizes that something is wrong, but Lucifer says that it's past Trixie's bedtime.

Lucifer goes home to find Amenadiel snoring on his couch. Lucifer tells Amenadiel that Malcolm is taken care of. Amenadiel wonders where Maze is, and Lucifer admits that he doesn't know. He says that he spoke to God and offered his services, and God accepted. Lucifer explains that someone has escaped from Hell, and figures that God wants him to bring the escapee back. Amenadiel figures that it should be easy, and realizes that Lucifer is afraid. He wonders who could scare Lucifer that much, and Lucifer says that their mother escaped.
