At Lux, Maze is watching a stripper and a man, Sergei Bok, watches Maze from
across the crowd.

Maze finally looks at
Sergei and goes upstairs to the office.

Sergei follows her in and finds Maze in the hot tub.

She invites him in and he
joins her.

Sergei starts to kiss her, and
Maze directs him below the water.

She holds him under for a few seconds until he starts to drown, and then pulls him up.

Lucifer comes in and greets him by name, and demands to know his wings.

When Sergei insists that he doesn't know anything about them, Maze holds him under again.

When she brings him up, Lucifer repeats his question.

Sergei swears that he doesn't have them, and Lucifer suggests that perhaps they're
going about it wrong.

He figures that they need the help of a professional and reminds Maze to
pull Sergei back up.

He says that Malcolm's wife decided to pull the plug on him, and points out that Chloe is stil investigating

Malcolm for corruption.

Dan advises his ex to stay away from the station because the police
holding a living wake for Malcolm.

He advises Chloe to close the investigation, warnings that the investigation could cos Malcolm his benefits. Chloe refuses to drop it, and Dan tells her to do
something in the next 24 hours or let Malcolm's family move on.

At home, Chloe goes over the evidence from the Palmetto shooting. Lucifer comes in and asks
for her help.

She tries to usher him out, but Lucifer realizes that she's upset. Chloe finally tells him that they want her to drop the Palmetto case.

Lucifer tells her to do it anyway and then says
that he has a case he needs her advice with.

He asks what she does when she gets stuck, and
Chloe says that she gets someone to look at the case who will tell her the truth.

She offers to
help Lucifer... and discovers that he's gone.

Lucifer goes to the beach and meets with Amenadiel.

The Devil points out that they landed five
years ago on the beach when he abandoned Hell, and had Maze sever his wings.

He explains that his wings have been stolen and he needs the angel's help getting them back.

Amenadiel points
out that he's had to patrol Hell since Lucifer quit, and the wings are too powerful for humanity.

The angel wonders why Lucifer held onto the wings if he hated them, and suggests that Lucifer
kept them because he regretted his decision to abandon Hell.
