After what felt like an eternity, Lucifer season 5 part 2 is finally streaming on Netflix. And the back half of the season exceeds all of our expectations. Lucifer season 5 will go down as the most emotional and impactful season, one only a final season has the potential to beat.
Our Lucifer season 5, part 2 review is spoiler-free and discusses the penultimate season of the hit show from Netflix, starring Tom Ellis and Lauren German.
The Lucifer Season 5 part 2 episodes catch on after Lucifer has returned to Hell from Los Angeles, abandoning all of his Earth-bound friends alone. In the premiere episode, Michael, Lucifer's identical twin brother, saves Chloe Decker from being assaulted during a murder case. When Chloe is abducted during an inquiry after Lucifer returns to Earth, he becomes enraged. Michael was holding Chloe captive in a cave, it was later discovered. Michael invites Lucifer to a battle when Lucifer succeeds to liberate Chloe from Michael's grip. The mid-season climax of the fantasy drama saw the mighty God arrive upon Earth for the very first time to split up the struggle between Lucifer, Michael, and Amenadiel, leaving a big cliffhanger.
God chooses to quit in season five part two and travels to an alternative dimension with his lady, the Goddess (Tricia Helfer). When Amenadiel notes that God has yet to pick his replacement, the Almighty being clarified that this is no longer his prerogative and that they will decide between themselves. But, of course, it's not that easy.
Lucifer season 5, part 1’s finale takes place directly after the previous episode, which means we see the fallout from Dan shooting our titular hero. On the one hand, we can celebrate the fact that Lucifer is invulnerable again, but on the other—as is usually the case—there’s something else going on here.
Lucifer has chosen not to be vulnerable around Chloe anymore, which leads to a few more bumps in the road for their relationship. Life doesn’t slow down, however, and they must put aside their issues while they try to catch the Whisper Killer.
Much to Ella’s disappointment, they find out who the real killer is, though Pete admits he had nothing to do with Chloe’s disappearance. That was all Michael, of course, and we see how the arcangel has been pulling everyone’s strings throughout the season.
