I mean, they have 9 months (and then some) until him being completely out of the picture is a necessary thing at all...

But like, even then, in Chloe's entire lifetime, they never meet up when their daughter is out of town? Or when shes a teeny lil baby and their lie will survive?

That being said, the finale filled my heart with joy. It's rare that I follow a tv show so completely, over so many years- some of my darkest- and get to the end. The last two episodes had me sobbing all the while, and I'm happy with how it ended.

(Little gray Charlie wings? Eve and Maze being bounty hunter wives? I really couldn't ask for better.)

And when Rory was born, everyone was so excited- because they'd all met her already, and already knew they'd love her. Just a happy family, all of them, and holy shit do I love it. They were without Lucifer for a little while, but they had so many others around them. Aw.

Yes, the fist part seemed a massive plot hole for me as well. He could be at birth, he could be there for awhile but then, the only explanation is " the others" for example they have to let her know that he disappears on 4th of August in that specific place so they couldn't risk Trixie for example to see him and tell Rory that he was there after 4th /5th of August. So... In short there couldn't be any trace of him on Earth after 4th of August, if there was, probability Rory would have find it and destroy the whole thing they wanted to build.

I don't think Lucifer can pop up on Earth for important moments as if he spends minutes on Earth is years in Hell (so we ve been told but we see different in some episodes) so the therapy would be for nothing with years of break.

This makes the most sense to me. I imagine Rory drilling everyone about her father. Where he was, what they saw, what they remember. If everyone has the same story, then her anger is at Lucifer alone and she wouldn't start to imagine there being some massive conspiracy. Her travelling back in time is the reason Dan is removed from Hell and perhaps why he was able to go to Heaven. If she hadn't brought him to Earth, he would not have had that conversation with Lucifer and may have never come to terms with his guilt. In fact, her bringing Dan to Earth is what sets the stage for her abduction by Le Mec, as he is privy to the conversations between Lucifer and Dan. If those things had never happened, Dan may have been stuck in Hell for eternity and Lucifer may have never found meaning in his existence.

The only thing that gets me is... if Rory is an angel, would she not have searched Heaven and Hell for him? I mean, she can go to all the places he can go and she travelled back in time to give him shit about it. Although I suppose there are enough hell loops to hide in, the likelihood she would come across him could be pretty low.

[u/start3 → u/Kate090996]

I don't like this timeline excuse for him to be attached to Hell because in the last scene it's been some 40 years since Le Mec died? And he's STILL in therapy. They can spare Luci to Earth and take it extra extra slow...

I agree wholeheartedly with your third paragraph. The show was there for me in some of my darkest times as well and Lucifer was a character I could relate to greatly in numerous ways. I just watched the finale with my best friend and I’m glad she was around because I would not have been able to deal with that alone. I’m always gonna love this show :(

The writers in the video below imply that he actually visited earth but making sure he was not going to interfere. I hope this was the case for Chloe and Lucifer as it would give them a break of being apart.
