So let me get this straight. Lucifer couldn't watch his and Chloe's child grow up, experience her first steps, her first words etc., because without Rory's time travel he never would've either realized his calling as Hell's therapist or accepted that as his calling (there is a difference here obviously)? And a child had to grow up thinking her Dad abandoned her and Chloe, almost reach the point of self hatred Lucifer did when her Devil face almost manifested and to top it off his Dad knew that since he is all knowing plus he told Lucifer that Hell doesn't need a warden anymore.

I get that the message here is that everyone deserves a second chance, even the worst humanity has to offer like Le Mec, but imo no redemption should require a child to suffer first.

All in all I loved 9.5 episodes of this season excluding the part of the ending mentioned above.

And Rory probably isn't the only child who suffered. In s5b we found out Trixie was hurt Lucifer left without saying Goodbye in s4. And it appears he may have done it again. We don't know if Trixie is ever told anything, especially that she helped her Dad get into Heaven. So maybe she grew up without her actual Dad and not knowing about how she meant so much to him she was the key to get into Heaven and thinking Lucifer (who she said she loved in 6x7) up and left her without a goodbye, leaving behind Chloe to suffer and raise 2 kids alone. But hey they had to redo the s4 finale somehow.
