Welcome to the DC TV Report. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for the back half of season 5 of Lucifer. There were 8 new episodes this week and I binged them as fast as I could.
Friday - 5/28/2021
Lucifer - Midseason 5 Premiere "Family Dinner" 1) Dad decided to try and resolve all of Lucifer, Michael and Amenadiel's problems with each other over a family dinner. 2) Maze asked Dad for a soul. 3) Amy wanted to switch places with baby Charlie so his son could avoid a life of human suffering. 4) Dan and Ella were still in shock, coping with the revelations from season 5A. 5) Chloe and Lucifer investigated the incineration of an estranged brother on his family's mini-golf course.

Lucifer - S05E13 "A Little Harmless Stalking" 1) Dr. Linda injected herself into one of Chloe and Lucifer's cases after the daughter she gave up for adoption became the prime suspect. 2) Lucy and Chloe decided to throw caution to the wind and make a go at a relationship. 3) Eve showed up and begged Maze to tag along on her bounty hunting. 4) After Lucy suggested Amenadiel would be God's natural successor, Amy started to warm up to the idea. Last Minute Reveal: Lucifer changed his mind and decided he wanted to be God!
Lucifer - S05E14 "Nothing Lasts Forever" 1) Lucifer was distracted trying to figure out retirement plans for Dad in hopes to be named his successor. 2) Chloe and Lucy looked into the murder of an aquarium manager who may have been selling rare fish to high-end restaurants. 3) Maze became sick realizing her hellscape would be reliving her rejection of Eve for eternity. 4) Ella became depressed, believing she had an unhealthy obsession with murder. Last Minute Reveal: Gabriel brought MIchael Azrael's blade to help his hostile takeover!
Lucifer - Season 5 Penultimate "Is This Really How It's Going To End?!" 1) Chloe announced her retirement as Lucifer campaigned for his siblings to support him over Michael to replace God. 2) Chloe and Lucy's investigation into the murder of a wine connoisseur and thieving con man turned up some divine connections. 3) Dan tried setting Ella up on a blind date. Last Minute Reveal: In the wake of Dan's death, Lucifer became determined to go to war for the throne!
Lucifer - Season 5 Finale "A Chance At a Happy Ending" 1) Everyone took Dan's death hard and tried to live in the moment. 2) Everything culminated in a showdown between Lucy and Michael at the LA Coliseum for control of the Silver City. Last Minute Reveal: Everyone kneeled to Lucifer, who held the flaming sword and realized he was now the big man in charge!
Ed’s Winner for the Week: Dan "Detective Douche" Espinoza (Kevin Alejandro) - Dan really got put through the ringer this season. He started out looking over his shoulder after realizing God was in town and knew Dan had slept with his wife. Then he found himself victim to Lucifer's hysterically expensive and elaborate practical joke. Finally, he ended up making the ultimate sacrifice and became the catalyst for the showdown that was originally intended to be the end of the series. Through it all he never lost his resolve or stopped being a consummate friend. It is hard to think of another character in any show I have covered over the past year who has better fit the definition of an MVP. Let's hope he is able to find peace in the afterlife. Season 6 will not be the same without him.
