Yippee-ki-yay, movie lovers, I'm Jan and today we're taking a deep
dive into the ending of Season 5 Part 1 to explain the daddy of all get-togethers,
what the hell Michael is really up to, whether a demon can actually get a soul, plus predictions
and theories for Part 2 and Season 6! Just before we begin, many thanks to the
sponsor of this video, Raid Shadow Legends. We will, of course, be talking spoilers,
so take care if you're not all caught up. Michael's elaborate plan to ruin his brother's
life appears to be working by the end of Part 1. He's not only turned Maze against Lucifer,
but he's triggered Amenadiel's fears to spiral out of control causing time to freeze.
And as the battle between Team Lucifer and Team Michael comes to a head, in the very final moments
of the Part 1 finale, God arrives to intervene. "That's enough! Children.
You know I hate it when you fight." Lucifans have been wondering when
God would finally turn up on the show, and given the first episode of the second part of
Season 5 is called "Family Dinner", we can expect to see some interesting family dynamics between
God, Lucifer, Michael, and Amenadiel. And perhaps Luci's other siblings,
Remy and Azrael, will also make an appearance. Lucifer's family reunion in the next episode
is bound to relate back to the moment in Season 5's first episode when Luci
takes Lee to his parents' house where they were celebrating his sister's baby shower.
Lee says he can't go in to see them because he's ashamed of what they think of him,
and Lucifer proceeds to berate him: "Sooner or later, you are going to
disappoint them all over again! And so you'd rather stay away for all eternity."
As Lee points out, and Lucifer soon realises, this situation isn't just about Lee;
in fact, it reveals Luci's feelings about how he relates to his own family.
"This isn't just about me, is it? Whose Hell is this anyway?"
With Lucifer's dad arriving on the scene, Lucifer will finally have to confront his own
feelings of shame towards his celestial family. It'll be interesting to see if Luci continues
to feel guilty for his rebellion or if he can re-join his family.
Although Lucifer previously said in Season 4 that he was lying to himself about God manipulating
everything in his life, faced with his Father now, will any of those old feelings resurface?
"If you mean his plan to continually manipulate and control me, then agreed."
Also, will Lucifer confront God over his Mother's claims that God
wanted to destroy Luci after the rebellion? "I asked him to send you to Hell instead."
And if the Goddess was manipulating Lucifer about that, it'll be
intriguing to hear God's version of events. After all, in the "alternate universe" bonus
episode, God said that "a parent just wants what's best for their child".
But, of course, Michael will be at the family reunion too
and we know from Amenadiel that Michael has positioned himself as God's only trusted
advisor to the point that no other being in Heaven can speak to God.
"He is stronger than you think, Lucy. Michael's become...
untouchable in the Silver City." So, what is Michael's grand
plan and what's he really up to? Well, when Michael explained to Maze why
he came to Earth, he said that he was annoyed at the praise Lucifer was getting from all the other
angels after he returned to Hell voluntarily. "Then Raphael starts going off
about how Lucifer's grown, and then pretty soon all I hear
is, 'Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer!'" Michael's jealous that Luci is getting
kudos for doing what he views as the bare minimum, just fulfilling his basic role,
something he'd previously been shirking. Michael also appears to be threatened
by his twin brother's growing maturity and ability to sacrifice his own happiness in LA
in order to save those he cares for and do his duty as ruler of Hell.
If God believes that Lucifer has redeemed himself for his rebellion,
then Michael's favoured position in Heaven sitting at God's right hand may be in danger.
Because of his inferiority complex in relation to his twin,
Michael has been constantly plotting to have Lucifer make decisions that will make him
look "unworthy" in God's eyes all the while raising his own status in the Silver City.
As Amenadiel pointed out: "You're terrified that
Lucifer is better than you. That he'll always be better than you."
According to Michael, he claims he's been secretly planting ideas in Lucifer's mind
from starting an uprising against God to his antics in the Garden of Eden.
Michael even says he was responsible for giving Luci the idea to abandon his
responsibilities in Hell to come to Los Angeles. Of course, given Michael's tendency to tell lies,
it's possible his claims of controlling Lucifer's actions are actually false,
and that what he's really doing by telling his brother that he's been playing him all
this time is preying on Luci's fears; because if there's one thing we know
about Lucifer, it's that he does not like to feel that he's being manipulated.
Another part of Michael's plan has been to exploit Chloe's fears around
her relationship with Lucifer. After Michael abducts Chloe,
he exposes her concern that Lucifer hasn't said the exact words "I love you" to her,
something that begins to prey on her mind,
in particular given that earlier Ella was raving about Pete's "I love meatloaf" line.
"How long did it take Lucifer to say 'I love you'?"
Michael also tries to worry Chloe about Lucifer's new-found invincibility when he's with her.
"Him choosing to be vulnerable around you actually meant something.
Cause you do know that we angels, we self-actualize, right?"
So, when Chloe's reunited with Lucifer, she wonders whether subconsciously he's pushing her
away, and if his new invulnerability around her means he's choosing not be vulnerable with her.
Now, Michael has obviously amplified Chloe's fear, but I think it's evident that Lucifer
does love her because he finally attempts to tell her how he feels:
"No, Dete-- Chloe. I...
I lo--" Luci may
have been cut off by Amenadiel accidentally freezing time, but the crucial point to note
here is that Lucifer used Chloe's real name rather than "Detective", because although
he rarely uses her true name, when he does it signals his true feelings towards her.
"My first love was never Eve. It was you, Chloe."
On top of that, Lucifer was desperate to find Chloe when she disappeared in the final episode,
making it clear that he does love her deeply.
Now, I've got a lot more details to discuss about Lucifer's new-found invulnerability and the weird
mojo swapping going on between him and Chloe. That's all in a separate video and I'll add
a card here and a link in the video description as soon as it's ready.
When it comes to Maze, she's been through a rough time so far in Season 5
leading her to switch allegiance from Team Lucifer to Team Michael after he promises he'll get her
the soul she's been longing for. At the start of the fifth season,
she's already mad at Lucifer for going down to Hell without her.
And adding to her abandonment issues are Chloe who splits up their detective partnership;
Eve who left her at the end of Season 4; and then her mother Lilith who dies a few
days after she sees her again and before Maze can really tell her how she feels.
Maze believes her lack of a soul is responsible for her loneliness and blames Lilith for that:
"It was her stupid idea to have soulless offspring...
making it her stupid fault that I am doomed to be alone forever."
And when she asks Lucifer if he's heard of a demon getting a soul,
he enrages her with his dismissive attitude, even after she points out that nobody heard of
the Devil falling in love before, or of an angel and a human having a baby together.
"There's a first for everything, right?" "Well, that's different.
We're angels. You're just a demon."
The topic of Maze and demons not having a soul has come up previously,
in particular in the Maze-focussed episode "Mr and Mrs Mazikeen Smith":
"When I die, that's it. Maze out."
This season, presenting himself as a friend to Maze, Michael offers her a
soul which is what she thinks she wants; although, given his tendency for lying
and manipulating, that's likely to turn out to be a ruse of sorts.
Instead, what I think could be important to resolving Maze's existential dilemma is Lucifer's
ring, which her mother Lilith gave him and which Maze was staring at in the final episode.
We learned in the noir episode that Lilith gave up her immortality when she blew what looked like
perhaps her own soul or essence into the ring. The ring also contains a stone from the Garden
of Eden, and so I think it could play a part in Maze acquiring a soul or something else
that will make her feel complete. After all, as Amenadiel told her:
"I don't know if a soul is what you need to feel whole, but...
I do know this. If anyone is going to find what
they're looking for, it's you, Mazikeen." Perhaps just like Lucifer and Amenadiel,
we'll learn that Maze has the ability to self-actualize,
and with the help of her mother's ring, she will come to believe that
she isn't just a soulless demon after all. Like Dorothy with her shoes in the Wizard of Oz,
Maze has 'always had the power', she 'just had to learn it for herself'.
A big reveal at the end of Season 5 is that Amenadiel and Linda's baby boy
Charlie appears to be mortal and not half-angel as everyone had previously assumed in Season 4.
This could somehow be a trick by Michael, but Charlie does get frozen in time together
with all the other humans in the finale. And he also got a fever which turned out
to be a cold, something that in theory shouldn't happen to a part-celestial.
Charlie being an ordinary human does tie in with a little running gag throughout the fifth season
about the baby's parents being over-optimistic about the extent of his abilities.
Linda, for example, has arranged everything from Japanese language classes to art appreciation
events for the 2-month old baby, and she's convinced he can even identify
elements on the Periodic Table. And Amenadiel tells Dan he thought
Charlie had some kind of super-strength, but then discovered he couldn't even hold up his rattle.
This could all tie back to Lucifer's theory in Season 4 that explained how
Amenadiel had been able to conceive a child with Linda in the first place:
"When you lost your wings, you became as mortal as it gets.
Maybe you became more human than you realized." Perhaps Amenadiel was so human when Charlie was
convinced that the baby never inherited any of his father's celestial powers.
But there could be something else at play when it comes to Charlie's human vs celestial nature, and
it relates to an intriguing incident in Season 3. In the episode "All About Her", Amenadiel visits
the doctor after getting some cold and flu-like symptoms.
Amenadiel says he's never had a human illness, but then the doctor tells him he has Chlamydia.
Later on, he discovers, the diagnosis was a false positive.
The reason for the test results coming back wrong was never really explained,
but it seems reasonable to think it's something to with him being an angel and not human.
And I think something very similar happened to Charlie when he ran a fever which the doctor
diagnosed as a normal human cold. Something about his half-angel,
half-human nature is likely at the root of it, and I expect we'll get an explanation
in the second half of Season 5. Now, there are another eight episodes
still to come in the second part of Season 5 and there's a sixth and final season after that,
and I'll be going in depth with more theories for those in an upcoming video.
Season 5 was originally expected to be the end of the show, which means that the sixteenth episode
would have wrapped up all of the series' character arcs in a montage of sorts.
What's going to happen instead now is that the sixth season will
dive deeper into each character's ending. According to Aimee Garcia, who plays Ella,
we may be getting a full episode for each character in the final season to
see in detail where each of them ends up. The ending then will still be the same as
the original ending for Season 5, but it will just be extended over a full season.
And while we wait for what we hope will be an awesome final one and a half seasons of Lucifer,
