Lucifer season 5: How Lucifer and Chloe's relationship pans out has fans putting on their speculative caps
Lucifer Morningstar and Chloe Decker have had a hard time defining their relationship ever since the beginning of 'Lucifer'. The two leads of the show -- played by Tom Ellis and Lauren German -- have always been in the "we like each other but we won't accept it" phase right from the start. Their relationship involved a lot of arguments, quarrels, contradictions, indecisiveness - in short a lot of drama.
The equation tested the patience of fans, who just wanted them to admit their love for each other and just become a couple.
Chloe was put on Earth for the Lord of Hell - she was a miracle child who made him vulnerable. When she is around him he loses his powers and his heartbeat stops, because of his undying love for the detective.
'Deckerstar', as fans call the duo, is a couple that fans desperately want to ship, and their joy knew no bound when they finally defined and accepted their relationship in Season 4.
But by the end of Season 4, their relationship was all but over.
The plot of season 4 finally focussed on 'Deckerstar' as they expressed their feelings for each other and Lucifer finally revealed to her who he really is. Lucifer's true identity as the Lord of Hell and his physical manifestation of the same plays a huge part in the fourth season. One of the most extreme moments of the series was the reveal of his true self to Eve (Inbar Lavi) in the flesh. He expected Chloe's reaction to be positive but she freaked out.
But Eve reacts contrary to expectations, and takes a step forward and kisses Lucifer, thus giving him the affirmation that no matter what his true self looks like she still loved him. He has never been accepted in this positive way before and makes him feel that he is not that bad.
Coming back to the Luci-Chloe relationship, their love went south as the Lord of Hell had to go back to his throne, according to the prophecy. According to the prophecy, Chloe along with everyone on Earth will be endangered as demons from hell will come down to rule the planet if the devil does not return. Hence he has to do this to save the life of his lover.
This ending obviously had a lot of fans disappointed -- just when they thought they were finally a couple, everything came undone.
Season five of Lucifer will be the finale season, and can fans expect the reunion of the devil and the detective?
Well, there are fan theories which speculate that Chloe will join Lucifer in Hell, leaving her child behind. Some fans say that this won't happen as the bond of Chloe as a mother is stronger than the bond of Chloe as a lover.
Season 5 may also herald a change in events for Chloe as she decides to stay back on Earth and lead a life without her lover.
In season four's finale episode, Lucifer tells Chloe: "My first love was never Eve, It was you Chloe." They seal their final goodbye with a kiss. Leaving fans in anticipation as to how the 'Deckerstar' duo will make their way through life with or without each other.
We'll just have to wait and watch.
