"Guys?" Dean calls as the four hunters return to the bunker. Chuck and Lucifer are in the war room and Lucifer is sitting on the steps to the library with Chuck standing in front of him.

"Hey, how's it goin' in here?" Sam asks.

"Listen, I know I've been gone for a while." Chuck tells Lucifer. "I've missed a few... million... birthdays--"

"Yeah, and the second your apes send a distress flare, boom, daddy's home." Lucifer quips.

"That's not what happened." Chuck argues.

"Hey, these apes saved your ass." Dean says.

Lucifer glares at him and snaps his fingers. The four flinch, but quickly realize nothing happened.

"He can't hurt you." Chuck says.

"Oh, so you're controlling me now." Lucifer turns to his father.

"It's just a safeguard." Chuck says.

"Hey guys? Uh, Chuck? Lucifer. Uh, Dean, kids." Sam says. "Think we can try and focus here? You know, end of the world, common enemy, all that?"

"Enemy of my enemy is my friend." Lucifer says as he stands in front of Chuck. "Team Amara. Go Amara."

"You don't mean that." Chuck says.

"You're really not gonna say it." Lucifer says, the two staring at each other.

"He's not gonna say what?" Sam asks.

"Screw you." Lucifer tells Chuck. "Screw all of you." He tells the other four before storming out, shouldering his way between Daphne and Billy.

"Hey." She glares at his retreating figure.

"Kids, huh?" Chuck asks. "I'm sure you two get it." He walks off.

"They better not get it." Daphne says. "Well... maybe with you." She tells Billy making him give her an annoyed look.

Daphne and Billy are sitting on the steps to the telescope as Chuck sits in a chair. There's an empty chair across from him. Dean, Sam, and Lucifer walk in, Lucifer sitting across from Chuck.

"One of you is gonna have to, uh, go first." Sam says, but neither of them say anything. "You know what? Lucifer, you agreed to have a sit down if God would show, so--" He motions to Chuck.

"And Chuck, you did say you'd talk."

"Him first. I'm the one who's owed an explanation." Lucifer says and Chuck lets out an aggravated sigh.

"This is going well." Billy sarcastically mumbles.

"Okay, let's try "I feel" statements." Dean says. "Dr. Phil." He informs Sam with a smile. Sam doesn't really care. The two brothers sit on the steps with the siblings, Billy and Dean in the middle.

"I am... sorry that you feel that I betrayed you. That I acted without cause." Chuck says. "I'm sorry that you can't see you gave me no choice." He continues. "I'm good." He tells the four.

"That was the worst apology in the world." Daphne comments.

"You heard that, right?" Lucifer asks.

"We all know that you're God, but maybe could you be a little less... Lordly?" Sam asks.

"But I am-- I am the Lord." Chuck says.

"Okay, well, pretend you're not." Daphne says.

"Wow. There he goes." Lucifer rolls his eyes.

"I did what I had to do! To create the world, I had to lock Amara away. And when the Mark corrupted you and I saw you posed a threat to humankind, I did the same with you." Chuck says.
