TEXT: Lucifer, Amenadiel and Charlotte are at the Penthouse. Amenadiel: Azrael's blade. You're sure? Charlotte: I am. So if we could just get your brother to stop drinking and show us where he hid it... Lucifer: I just wanted you to tell him what you told me, before I make a mess. Charlotte: What mess are you going to... Lucifer hits a wall. Amenadiel: That's where it's been this whole time? Lucifer: Put it somewhere I could keep an eye on it. Wouldn't want someone to incite another stabbing rampage, now, would we? Charlotte: Well, it's not my fault humans can't handle the divine. Besides, if I hadn't done that, we wouldn't have found out what that blade actually is. Lucifer: And you really think that this is the Flaming Sword? I thought Father destroyed it during my rebellion so I wouldn't use it against Him. Amenadiel: Father said He destroyed it. Charlotte: Apparently, He just hid it in plain sight. Lucifer: But it's so small and so... Not flaming. Charlotte: That's because only you, my Lightbringer, can ignite it. Lucifer: Well, what am I supposed to do, dip it in some whiskey and light a match? Charlotte: Last time it caught flame, you were angry, so think about your Father, that should do it. Lucifer: All right. Nothing happens. Lucifer: No! Right, back to my whiskey plan. Charlotte: No, you're much too calm. When it flamed before, you were furious. Lucifer: So you're saying the blade can sense my emotional state? It's the most powerful weapon in the universe, Mum... The sword that guarded Eden, not a groovy mood ring. Amenadiel: Maybe I should try it. Charlotte: Your brother is the Lightbringer, Amenadiel. He just needs to apply himself and get angry! Lucifer: Well, I can't just get ang... Amenadiel hits Lucifer. Lucifer: Aah! Blood
SUMMARY:
Lucifer retrieves Azrael's blade, which turns out to be the Flaming Sword that once guarded Eden and can cut through the Gates of Heaven, allowing Charlotte to return home. As the Lightbringer , Lucifer is the only one who can reignite the blade, but fails to do so as it can only be triggered by extreme emotion. Chloe and Dan investigate the murder of an admissions officer at a prestigious elementary school; despite uncovering embezzlement by the assistant dean, they are unable to find any leads. Chloe and Maze pose as a married couple and attend a party in honor of the deceased, where the real murderer, a teacher whose affair was discovered by the victim, is caught and subdued by Maze. Linda suggests to Lucifer that his inability to use the blade may be because he suppresses all of the pain and heartbreak in his life and, by channeling pain instead of anger, he is able to briefly ignite the Sword. It is revealed then that Charlotte is desperate to return to Heaven because her human form is weakening.
