Lucifer had been attempting to hang out with everyone in the hotel for the next few days to figure out what he could do to assist them like Sir Pentious with non-destructive, such as making ducks with him and caring for a plant. He was doing alright, not the best, but the plant was still alive, so Lucifer gave him prompts for that. Husk would listen to Lucifer ramble on ideas while advising, so they would get closer even playing games together, and with nifty, he would watch her roach puppet shows, which he found creepy but cute in a way because he would sometimes be drawn into the drama that nifty created.

Lucifer would bake and cook with angel dust, with angel teaching him new recipes and getting him lessons on cussing because he once said "fuck me" in front of Alastor when he pissed him off, which he regretted and was embarrassed about saying, but when Angel told him he said it wrong, he felt even more ashamed. Yeah, he needed a lot of lessons, but Lucifer enjoyed hanging around with Angel Dust, who he saw as an intriguing demon on the verge of redemption.

Lucifer and Alastor's bond was special. They would quarrel a lot mostly due to Alastor giving outrageous ideas to Lucifer that may kill someone, forcing someone to be good was not what Lucifer desired. Alastor was well aware of this; he simply enjoyed messing with Lucifer.

 Angel is suspicious of Lucifer and Alastor's relationship. When he asks Lucifer about it, he says "psycho cannibal demon..." but when Angle asks how he feels about Alastor, his ears turn bright yellow, and he remains silent, saying only that he was an annoying partner of his. And Alastor would tell him that it was none of his business. When Angel said he was in love with Lucifer, "nonsense" Alastor teleported away to his chamber.

He felt strange as he heard the words from angel dust replaying in his head. Sure, he wanted Lucifer to remain and abandon heaven, to see him kill angels, and to stay in hell with him, but he never imagined that the emotion he was feeling was love since he never considered it to be that feeling, but the more he thought about it, the faster his pulse beat and the redder his face became, but he dismissed it as foolishness and went on with his day.

Lucifer was in the kitchen early in the morning, intending to drink wine but instead opting for coffee. When he noticed Angel approaching the kitchen, Lucifer shouted hello and good morning, only to receive a sleepy reaction. Lucifer was annoyed, and when Angle saw this, he asked what was wrong with Lucifer, who said he had no idea what to do for the next trust exercise, to which Angle replied that he had an idea. Lucifer later noticed that Angel Dust was playing a porn video of Angel Dust acting, after the entire scene of Husk and Angle fighting and him leaving for the studio.

As Lucifer slumped down on the couch, contemplating what to do, Alastor emerged from the shadows, crouching down to Lucifer's level: "Something bothering you mhmm, Lucifer~"

Lucifer:"I don't know what to do but you are probably enjoying this right"

Alastor: "Perhaps"

Lucifer: "Happy for you": he said in an annoyed fatigued tone

Alastor considered something seeing the tired Angel of his telling him to examine the place of the Angle Dust work. Saying it would help him comprehend angel dust and redeem him. Lucifer nodded excitedly he got up so happily, he knew Alastor wasn't doing it sincerely, but it was great that he was assisting. but still, he was helping so he went to hug Alastor but as soon as he got closer he felt his heart beat faster than he stopped in his tracks.

 Alastor stared at Lucifer expecting the hug only to see Lucifer say"Thank you", moving away from Alastor before stopping recalling something he wanted to ask Alastor but seeing he might lose angel dust he said " I have something to tell you later, so can we meet later" with Alastor said" fine"
