"Ahhh, that's why you keep making me look forward, because you're bad at it," Lucifer says in a sage-like tone. Now it all makes sense. The fact that Lucifer's even a little bit better of again looking forward is impressive because he was fully loose-cannon after Dad used and ditched him again. Heck, it's how he ended up with a child. He had no plan and no care and just wanted everyone to feel what he did, damn the consequences.

It's no wonder Crowley got a one-up on him.

It probably will be them, more than anyone, but Lucifer doesn't push that certainty.

"Oh, don't worry, if I become irreparably corrupted I'm taking you down with me and we'll both be walking disasters on the world."

Is that a kindness? Well it's better than being on the other side, isn't it? Lucifer thinks it is.
