In this thread you’ll see all the theories/speculations/ headcanons I have for the anticipated LuciferS5B:
(disclaimer: some of them may have already been said by others but I’m only listing & writing about all I WANT & BELIEVE WILL HAPPEN because I want to get back to these before & after S5B releases)
Halloween+/Christmas episode (family dinner + gifts. God not knowing how to consume food i.e. how to simply Human, Lucifer being in denial acting like nothing’s wrong, Amenadiel busy showing off Charlie, Michael still being a dick, Chloe and Linda’s rapidly declining level of sanity by getting stuck in the middle of a Very Dysfunctional Family Dinner).
Charlie’s problem solved. He’s half mortal and half angel. He can catch simple human diseases for a while but won’t be affected as much (like normal humans) because he’s part angel. Amenadiel relaxes a little - one problem down, now to solve 10393829 pending family problems.
Deckerstar being interrupted by Dad while doing something naughty (school storage/gym).
Lucifer serenading Chloe + slow dancing.
A Holy Family musical number (L+M+A+Dad).
A Hot Tub High School remake RP scene because Lucifer deserves it and they kinky.
Linda to file the database release form given to her by Maze. For Adriana to look for her mother and for her and Linda to have a talk. After said talk, Linda will finally forgive herself and accept that even though things could have been worse for Adriana it didn’t end up like that and now she has Charlie who she can do everything she wished she could have done for Adriana. Reconciling with her daughter and getting to raise Charlie will be her salvation.
Lucifer to permanently lose his Devil face - for him to finally let it ‘rest’.
Lucifer to inherit the Throne - meaning he’s going to be the new “god” whether Dad just steps back and retire or he just simply ceases to exist.
The scene LAB was talking about is the death of both Dan and Chloe that Maze will unintentionally cause by siding with Michael and how she’s going to face Trixie (and the rest of their found family) knowing what she did.
Maze to realize she doesn’t need a soul to be not like her mother (because she already WASN’T). Then Eve helping Maze to find her road to self (re)discovery and redemption by talking about HER (Eve) journey. (Ffs Maze you already have your very own found family, you keep pushing them away so they pull back if only you guys talked, like fine aged celestial (and human) beings that you are, PROBLEMS WOULD BE SOLVED) ILY but seriously
Dan to mirror Charlotte’s death - dies protecting an Angel (Lucifer). (So sad but will be satisfying to see.)
Dan dies (won’t get resurrected - he’s been struggling with a lot of guilt from everything he’s done before but will probably grow and find acceptance and forgiveness for himself before he dies so he’ll end up in heaven. I don’t want him to go back because it’d seem anticlimactic for his growth - please see Re: Charlotte)
The “ILY please don’t go” in 4x10 only this time it’s Lucifer saying those words. (At this time Lucifer still believes he doesn’t deserve to go back to heaven so he believes he’ll never see Chloe again) See 4x10 and 5x08 for the “I lo-"
Chloe dies (but gets resurrected, one possibility is her being like Lilith and Eve created directly by the hands of God so going back to her own body would be possible while, the other is once Lucifer accepts his new role, why would he deny Trixie of a parent who still has a lot of criminals to catch and bring to justice. Charlotte and Dan has peaked - Chloe would feel like she hasn’t done enough yet, there’s still more to be done)
Chloe Jane Decker will deck god.
The reason why Amenadiel was so adamant on getting Lucifer back to hell was because Dad gave an order – the problem is it was too vague and Amenadiel misunderstood BIG TIME. Amenadiel was actually NOT supposed "to get Lucifer and bring him back to HELL” rather he was supposed to “to get Lucifer and bring him back to HEAVEN”. Amenadiel was meant to help Dad make Lucifer realize that Dad was waiting for him to come home and also maybe play a little matchmaker to Deckerstar while he was at it.
The clue of a 'beloved character’ dying is Chloe’s death because Lucifer will call her “My beloved”.
Michael will be redeemed. This will be a stretch because I’m thinking that Lilith ends up in hell maybe because she feels guilty about something (her not being a better mother (insert Pete is Lilith’s SON theory), a better wife to Adam, and for abandoning her other kids in hell). She might introduce herself as Maze (because they look alike) and convince the demons wage war to Lucifer because he left again but Lilith’s after him because he BROKE HIS WORD (Maze found her when she didn’t wanna be found and for any of her kids to know what she had done). Demons will go topside, God is dead (or just retired) and it’s up to the Angels to deal with Lilith. And in a very defining moment Michael would have to choose sides – with the demons so he could finally prove, if he defeated Lucifer, that he’s the better twin or die trying anyway or side with the Angels, his family, because this is the result of the mess he tried to make out of Lucifer’s life. If he never mentioned it to Maze she wouldn’t have known and Lucifer wouldn’t have 'broken’ his word to Lilith. Michael will only be redeemed WHEN he DECIDES to face and deal with the consequences of his actions. No one would get redemption if they can’t realize why they have to have it in the first place. (this basically turned into a fanfic huh)
Ella’s talk with Dad will help her deal with her inner 'darkness’. Also, maybe Michael - kinda like when you slowly face your fears in therapy. Exposure therapy?
Zadkiel (the rumored new Angel; Angel of mercy and forgiveness) will either come get Lucifer (because after Chloe’s Death she’s in heaven meeting up with her Dad catching up and all that but also being insistent that someone better get her boyfriend 'cause she ain’t staying a second longer in that place without him) OR welcome him by the gates once Lucifer’s done grieving and actually tries to go to heaven to get her back or something. I’m biased for the former because Luci is sometimes a Dumbass™ and also because of the bts pics.
Lilith’s ring will be given to Eve. Maze will ask Lucifer for the ring or give the ring to Maze once he hears about Lilith’s death because that’s what started everything - then give it to Eve. A perfect symbolism of the garden (the ring having part of the garden) being passed from the first wife to the second. If there’s any of the characters who’ll enjoy their immortality on Earth it’s Eve. She’s bored of heaven and she didn’t have a nice experience with demons - it’s on Earth where she felt most alive and free. Also, if anyone deserves the ring it’s Eve because they basically have the same woes – one of those being made just to become someone’s wife. Can you guys imagine, if the situation they’re all in were better, we could have had the first two women getting drunk and digging up all of Adam’s dirt.
5x09: FAMILY DINNER Victim is burned + possible casts for a Mom and Dad. The couple might mirror God and Goddess (a workaholic absentee Dad and a cold, manipulative, distant Mom) and the burned victim a parallel to Lucifer being thrown to hell.
I might add more later – 9.25.2020
