Upon hearing Lucifer's decision not to become God, Amenadiel warns him that their angelic siblings have been causing havoc trying to fulfill the wishes of humans without guidance. Eventually, he decides that he will become God, but vows not to repeat his father's mistakes by becoming a distant entity to angels and humans alike. Lucifer, on the other hand, is living the last day before he disappears, according to Rory, and bids goodbye to everyone.

- I Have Your Wife: The episode ends with Vincent calling Lucifer that he has Rory, and wants him to meet him at the place where he will disappear.
- My Greatest Failure: Dan's greatest source of guilt is revealed to be his own belief that he was a terrible father to Trixie and that he couldn't be the role model she deserved.

- Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Angels are revealed to have become this in God's absence. They all want to help humans and answer prayers to the best of their ability, however without God's guidance their ill-thought-out blessings are slowly damaging the Earth. Amenadiel even says that without guidance soon they will cause the Apocalypse via Death by a Thousand Cuts.
- You Can't Fight Fate: Despite the deadline having passed, Lucifer still ends up having to go to the intersection between 10th and Swanson, the place where Rory said that he will disappear, once Le Mec holds her hostage.
