Its third and final (sob!

One last time, let’s recap.

We pick up with Lucifer and Chloe watching numbly as Charlotte’s body is wheeled away.

A subdued Ella asks, “Who would do something like this?”

just as that jerk Pierce starts barking orders.

He throws it through her kitchen table, and in the destruction, he uncovers her Pierce file.

Chloe starts to deny it, but Lucifer calmly states that he’s known this for months.

They’re, uh, displeased to hear this, especially the woman who almost married the guy.

They agree to put a pin in this conversation until after they catch Charlotte’s killer.

Then Ella interrupts with a summons from Pierce, who emotionally eulogizes Charlotte to the precinct.

It belongs to Steve Chamberlain, whom Charlotte was prosecuted for embezzlement.

Their investigation into who planted the gun leads them to Chamberlain’s chauffeur.

Y’all, she’sso closeto seeing the whole picture!

Then this morning, a burner phone showed up, followed by the gun.

It’s a setup, natch, and Dan and Chloe soon have their hands on Mr. Baldy.

Pierce admits he was actually trying to kill Amenadiel to get his mark back.

Thanks to the sneezy murderous chauffeur, he admits, “I think I gave myself that face.”

“She never loved you.”

As far as delivering a devastating set-down to your enemy, that’s about as good as it gets.

Then Pierce shouts that Lucifer’s attacking him, and a trillion big cops rush in to subdue him.

Back at the loft, Chloe and Dan yell at Lucifer for confronting Pierce.

(“It’s all true,” Lucifer assures an incredulous Dan.)

But Chloe’s concern is too over the top, and Pierce realizes she’s playing him.

He claims he still loves her but declines to turn himself in at her request.

And then his day gets worse when he returns to his lair and finds all of his henchmen dead.

“Twelve people, four miles,” Maze corrects her, and my heart!

My heart can’t handle this!

And “this is the strongest I’ve ever seen you.”

A tear runs down Maze’s cheek as she starts to apologize.

Linda says her actions speak plenty.

But actions are easy for Maze, so she needs to say it: “I’m sorry.”

Maze swears it’ll all be fine, and THANK DAD this relationship is back on track.

If the show had ended with these two still on the outs, I might never have recovered.

“We’ve no one to blame but ourselves.”

Aww, stay strong and sweet and surprising, Ella!

In the end, it gets us where we need to be, and that’s all that matters.

But loyal, loving Chloe steps in front of Lucifer.

On the roof, Chloe gets Dan’s delayed call warning that it’s a trap.

She tells him she doesn’t know how she’s okay… “or maybe I do know.”

“I am a devil of my word,” he shouts in triumph.

Then Chloe enters the room, and Lucifer turns to face her sporting his full Devil face.
