'Lucifer’ recap episode 205: ‘Weaponizer’

Catch up on Lucifer before this week’s episode. On this installment, Lucifer’s brother threatens to kill Chloe if he doesn’t give up their mother. What will he do to save the women he loves?

A man moves a skateboard into an exact position. A mother arrives home and trips over the skateboard, screaming at her son. The son storms off, accidentally letting the dog loose who runs into the road. A car swerves to miss the dog and hits Chloe’s car instead. Apparently, someone went to great lengths to injure her as a message to Lucifer.

Chloe makes it out with a minor head wound. She assures Lucifer it has nothing to do with his Father.

An action film star, Wesley Cabot, is their new murder victim. Lucifer is a big fan. He died around 7 a.m., hit in the head by a movie award. A kid witnessed a hummer driving away.

Lucy sees his brother Uriel walk by outside. He follows and Uriel tells him he has 24 hours to return their mother before he takes Chloe’s life. Will Lucifer really send their mother back to Hell?

Amenadiel and Lucifer realize that Uriel caused Chloe’s accident. Maze insists they send their mother back. Lucifer wants Amenadiel to convince Uriel through force to leave Chloe alone. When will Amenadiel tell his friends that his powers are dwindling?

Lucifer takes away all of Chloe’s sharp objects and tells her he’ll be her guardian devil for the next 24 hours. Dan says the kid remembered the first 3 plate numbers from the hummer and 13 cars came up. One of them is Cabot’s ex-wife, Jamie.

Jamie admits that she was at the Dojo that morning. She got a phone message from Cabot, but when she got there, he was already dead. She spent that morning with her Pilates instructor. Then, she says her current husband, Kemo, who hates Cabot, was out of town at a convention, but Chloe knows it isn’t really that weekend. Did Kemo kill Cabot?

Chloe and Lucifer stake out a bar, looking for Kemo. When he comes out, he puts on a ski mask and tries to jump someone. Chloe arrests him. What is this about?

Kemo says he was hired by the mob to break the guy’s legs to make some money. Lucifer feels incredibly let down by his action hero. Kemo says he was friends with Cabot. He lied to Jamie about the convention. He was signing items at a comic book store. An officer tells Chloe that Kemo’s prints were on the murder weapon. She arrests him for killing Cabot. Can it really be that easy?

Lucifer pays Kemo’s bail and Kemo’s business manager, Ryan, thanks him. Amenadiel appears at work and tells Lucy they should handle Uriel without violence. Lucifer says Uriel fears Amenadiel and they should use that to their advantage. What will he do?

Amenadiel tells Uriel he should go home because he has things under control. Uriel says he’s there to help. Amenadiel insults him and says God comes to him when he needs help. Uriel is just standing in the way. Uriel punches him and knows Amenadiel has lost his powers. Now, what?

Kemo’s alibi is valid. Dan got copies of Kemo and Cabot’s contracts. Ryan is taking the majority of their profits away from them. Chloe thinks Cabot figured out the scam and Ryan killed him to keep it quiet. Chloe invites Lucy to interrogate Ryan with her, but he says he has family business to attend to. Is it safe for her to go alone?

Dan tells Chloe that there were two of the awards that killed Cabot because it was presented for a fight scene. Someone switched them out – that’s why Kemo’s prints were on the murder weapon. Dan thinks Ryan and Jamie are working together.

Lucy comes home to find Amenadiel in bad shape. Maze is nursing him and reprimands Lucifer for sending him to deal with things. Amenadiel begrudgingly admits his powers are gone. Lucifer yells at him for failing. He’s worried about Chloe.

Uriel sets another series of actions into motion which lead to Kemo seeing Jamie and Ryan kissing in front of Ryan’s building. Chloe arrives next while Uriel looks on. How will this play out?

Maze finds Charlotte screaming at her kids. She takes her aside to talk.

Chloe accuses Ryan of stealing from Cabot and getting caught. Kemo overhears and points a gun at their table. He threatens to kill Chloe if she doesn’t move out of the way. Lucifer arrives, but Chloe tells him to stay back. She tries to talk Kemo down. Will it work? She begs him to make the right choice and he puts down the gun.

Lucifer wants to escort Chloe back to the station, but she wants to go alone. Lucy tells her to stay safe and heads home. Charlotte is there. She’s going to let Uriel take her back to Hell. He wants to talk her out of it, but Maze tells him it’s the right move.

Lucifer starts screaming that no one knows what his Father wants because he won’t tell anyone directly. Charlotte tells Lucifer that Uriel is stubborn. He won’t give up until he has her or Chloe. Lucifer says he’ll find another way.

Uriel finds Lucy praying at a church. He admits he doesn’t know what their Dad wants, but he knows what he needs. He thinks their Father will forgive their mother and she’ll destroy him. However, he can’t let that happen and has Azriel’s blade. It will kill someone without sending them to Heaven or Hell. They’ll just be gone.

Uriel threatens to start a sequence that will kill Chloe in two days. Lucifer hits him, but he fights back. When Lucifer’s down, Maze jumps in. Uriel threatens to use the blade on her but ends up dropping it. When he goes to start the sequence, Lucifer uses the blade on Uriel.

When Uriel dies, Lucifer cries for his brother. He goes to his mother and she breaks down with him.
