Now that Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) is God, his first move might be to bring back Dan Espinoza from the dead. In Season 5B episode 15, the detective bled to death in ex-wife Chloe Decker's (Lauren German) arms. He was tragically killed when Michael, Lucifer's evil twin, decided to meddle in the officer's matters.

To make matters worse, Dan is damned to hell, which came as a shocker. Apparently, he died with a semblance of guilt. It was a head-scratcher for Lucifer and Amenadiel (DB Woodside), but now that Lucifer has assumed a new role, he can afford to do a little bit of tinkering with the afterlife rules.

Dan didn't die in vain. He spilled details of the case he was handling to Chloe so that she would be on track and prepped to solve it. Even though he had earlier confessed to having forgiven himself for past misdeeds, he still went to hell. Probably, his guilt was way too much. What was he so overworked about?

However, the bigger question to ask here is: Will Lucifer bring back Dan? We all know they did not get along. Even though they tried to mend their fraught relationship and managed to get to a point where they could be in the same room without killing each other, they can be labeled frenemies at best.

Even so, we speculate there is a good chance of him making an effort towards bringing Dan back. With Lucifer gone to fulfill godly responsibilities, Chloe and Trixie will be left to themselves. This means that they would need to be taken care of and that could motivate him to bring Dan back. Also, Lucifer is now God so he will not face obstructions when forcing his will on heaven and hell.

Also, another way he could revive Dan was by using feathers from his wing, which has healing powers. But we all know that the feathers work when one is injured by a celestial weapon. With that out of the way, Lucifer is left only one option using which he can bring Dan back.

Also, what pushed us towards believing that Dan could be back were Season 6 behind-the-scenes photos, in which Kevin popped up intermittently.

'Lucfier' Seasons one through five can be streamed on Netflix.
