#marcus is tricksy and false

I just had a thought...

So in The Last Heartbreak there’s a murderer going after couples in love. So Pierce suggests that he and Chloe go undercover thinking ‘we’re secretly dating. We can pull that off.’

Chloe being the nice person she is who doesn’t defy her boss and is intimidated by her boss stammers out a yes.

But the murderer has already met Lucifer and Chloe and has observed (correctly) that they are in love. So the murderer goes after them.

The dinner from the promo is at the end and Pierce is annoyed because “obviously the murderer saw something between you two,” he says.

Chloe is like “Are you seriously jealous that a murderer went after me and my partner?”

Pierce: “No, I’m bothered by what that implies. Is there something going on between you two?”

Then she talks about their almost relationship and then Pierce asks “Do you still have feelings for him?”

And Chloe either dodges the question, says “I don’t know”, lies and says “No”, or the episode ends on her face having a thoughtful and unsure expression.

OR....

Alternatively he says “Is there something going on between you two?”

She explains and he says “Considering your history maybe it would be best if you two don’t work together anymore.”

And she doesn’t have that because Lucifer is her partner and if that is all she can have with him then she is going to have it, says “There is nothing between me and Lucifer. We are just friends and partners.”

Episode 19 is her facing her friends about her new relationship (“3rd guy at the precinct and my boss to boot. Man!”) and coming to grips with what that means and the fact that she isn’t happy with it because she does have feelings for Lucifer and what they had/have is yet unresolved. She probably breaks up with him by saying “There are some things I need to figure out. And it’s not fair to you to put you in the middle of it.”
