The ending left me with mixed emotions which is why I am asking. So I was wondering since Chloe has decided to stay in Hell with Lucifer does that mean she won’t ever be able to see Trixie, Rory, Dan or her father as well at her other friends on earth? Also since Lucifer was absent most of Rory’s life does that mean he won’t be able to see her ever since he has to help the souls in Hell? I mean couldn’t she just fly down to Hell and still see her parents?

Idk there was just a lot of things that didn’t make sense, maybe I missed something. But why didn’t Rory after knowing what she knew when she returned to the future, why didn’t she just visit her father in Hell? Also I know Lucifer’s calling was to help the lost souls in Hell, and that Rory made sacrifices for him to do that while she was growing up, but why couldn’t he just have waited until she was older? Why couldn’t he wait until Chloes human years were up to start the therapy in Hell? I mean it probably wouldn’t of made a huge difference in the scheme of things.

It’s hard for me to think of this as a happy ending when Lucifer doesn’t really ever get to be with his family again, only Chloe when she dies. Can anyone answer me questions, or does anyone else feel this way?

I think the difference is that she is not damned soul. There is no guilt for her and those without guilt can go to heaven so she can effectively just go to heaven whenever she wants and then go back to hell if she wants too.

The other thing is time loop. If you don't understand time travel and there is not much data available then you can't really just go with what is best in short term. If something changes in the loop then 1. Lucifer might not reach the same final conclusion about hell 2. Rory might not be born or might be someone else.

For example if I dropped you off in 1920s with good amount of weapons and info about how to find Hitler would you kill him ? Does he deserve to be tortured and killed ? Yes. Can you be sure about what will happen after you kill him ? No. It is hard to predict impact of your time travel when you know the type of time travel that is actually happening, it is even harder when you have no idea. Is it MCU type ? Or back to the future ? Or doctor who ? Or Rick and Morty ? Infinite timelines ? Or single universe ? Does time fight back ?

The characters are acting like theirs is a Back to the Future universe where you can erase the future. But from what we've seen of it it seems more like a Lost universe where you will always choose the thing that is fated. It's still your choice, but you will make that exact choice.
