Behind The Scenes Video:

Since the press release of 3x23 and the one of the Finale, this episode is treated more like a filler. I believe that’s wrong since the plot might not be as straightforward as we think.

The basic plot is given by the Press Release of the Episode and is supported by the promotional video and promotional photos.

Chloe Decker is engaged and so a hen party occurs where Charlotte and Maze seem to collide on what is the best way to celebrate. Maze clothes suggest that her plan is set and tries to make things as proper and easy as possible whereas Charlotte -who can afford the party bus- organizes a wild and alcohol filled night for the whole gang. The Tribe, in short, is back yet everyone seems to have their own agenda.

Maze still wants to return to Hell so she gets to the precinct in a curly hairdo... There we see Chloe with her hair down having lunch with Marcus and so it is apparent that Maze is willing to overstep boundaries in order to check on his immortality or lack of. Her plan as always is to make sure that Chloe will not only stay with Marcus but convince her she is in love and her choice is the right one and perhaps just perhaps put some seeds of doubt for Lucifer’s mental stability.

Charlotte is still working with Amenadiel and cannot quit now. In the Amenadiel supplied short version, Chloe should be with Lucifer as this might give Charlotte a chance to avoid Hell the second time around. Things also seem to escalate by 3x23 where nightmares return but with a twist. Also, this episode has many of the characters come to terms with what relationships are all about. I believe that in this episode Charlotte might at the end go to Dan and start a more meaningful and close relationship which we will see more clearly in 3x23…

Linda has broken up with Amenadiel but as we know her experience with Reese (her ex-husband) has given her a perspective which she may share with the group. What perspective? A relationship in which she felt trapped as she said in 3x07. Now if you want to understand Marcus and Charlotte or even the relationship between Marcus and Chloe, you should rewatch 3x07. As a key character, Linda does not only know Lucifer’s darkest deeds like killing Uriel but she knows that Lucifer was ready to confess his love for Chloe. When drinks are involved a lot of secrets might be spilt… And when those secrets are the unadulterated truth what can a Demon do?

Lastly, we have Ella. Ella has shown to be on Marcus’ side for the past episodes but she does acknowledge that what Chloe and Lucifer have is on a whole different level. Most importantly though she was with him in Vegas. Ella knows why he married Candy and all it takes is one little tipsy nerd to set the record straight…

As you can see every character has something to say that night but what exactly happens in that episode? That’s the purpose of this post after all…��

Okay so let’s begin!

Chloe Decker is seen having lunch with Marcus early in the episode as far as I can tell but I believe that Marcus somehow gets Chloe away from Lucifer when the new case comes in thus making Lucifer and Dan work together. The hen party is also a very good excuse to make it all about him... Also, there is a scene between Dan, Lucifer and Chloe in the conference room where Lucifer wears his suit, meaning they are not yet at the case or they are at the very end of the episode... I bet on the first possibility.  

Here the most important spoiler is that Chloe wears her hair up in a bun. That hairstyle is usually done when Chloe needs to be seen as a professional in her line of work but also when she confronts Lucifer.

What is also interesting is that Maze and Linda wear the same dress in this episode or someone forces Linda out of or even steals it… Weird I know… 

Also Lucifer’s scene is played behind Rachel Harris in that dress while Tom Ellis is still wearing a costume meaning that something might be said like,  put yourself in her shoes which might take a literal meaning as Maze is dressed in Linda’s dress and Lucifer changes clothes. 

As @kikitsa-di noted at a promotional pic Lucifer seems to imitate Chloe’s posture. That’s, of course, normal as Lucifer in this episode according to Henderson in TvLine, will try to understand why Chloe took the decision to accept Marcus proposal.

So for the first time, Lucifer will try to understand Chloe by imitating her. Probably it will work to an extent but I foresee some painful moments of realization near the end…

The real story in this episode begins with The Tribe getting in the Fun Bus but also Dan and Lucifer working together. Their paths do cross later in that episode but in order to understand what is going on, unfortunately, we will have to separate the two events although they will play at the same time on our screens and probably be conected in a hilarious yet bittersweet way. 

First, we will take the case that Dan and Lucifer are assigned which involves a dog show but so many more locations as well…

Everything seems to begin at the Dog Show event at the Pacific Palm Resort. There we see Lucifer along with Dan and Ella at the crime scene and II do believe that sooner or later they might return to that venue but we shall see as nothing is sure about them returning to the show but hey, you never know.. 

*The Dog Show location also provides a chasing scene*

Lucifer around this time seems to change his clothes, presumably in order to understand how Chloe thinks and acts. For the first time he takes time to see Chloe from a different perspective and the result of this experiment if you can call it that or therapy exercise by Linda for all we know, might be fruitful. PS I love the grey shoes! 

The next stop for our favourite Devil and Douche is probably at the Dog Spa where Lucifer is trying to extract some information from the groomers and at that point, we get to see the Spa’s doggy pool… I do wonder if Lucifer will be in the mood for inappropriate jokes in this episode... Perhaps he will manage to stay in character and I would love to hear Ella saying how an amazing method actor Lucifer is by trying to imitate Chloe… Yeah, doubtful but hey I have said weirder things that have made the cut!.

PS Marcus bike was spotted on set when they were shooting 3x22 but we don't know if it will indeed appear in the episode.

The third stop for Lucifer and Dan is the liquor store or at least a parking lot. Not much is known from that scene but we do know that the favourite duo will ride a lot of miles together during the day but also at night which brings us to how they will meet the Fun Bus and The Tribe near the Roosevelt Hotel or inside it. More about this at the end of The Tribe’s section!

So The Tribe is back… What we see is that Maze has prepared something different for the hen party but as would luck have it cakes didn’t really work for her so Charlotte took over. If we believe the BTS Charlotte was also the one who came up with the T-shirts that show Chloe as a comic figure in a wedding dress and veil + a photograph of her face on it. That woman is sure crafty… and this time presumably with God’s blessing! 

In between the takes in WB, there was something like a  barn to which some of the cast and crew took some photos of them sitting on the stairs and drinking their large cocktails. Also what that implies is that Dan and Lucifer will find themselves on the bus at some point near the end of the episode.

We know very little about what is going on the bus itself. Yet what we do know is that it’s mostly about how the girls have a good time but as Charlotte will let Maze *politely* know before they boarded on the Fun Bus, this is war. So do expect several moments of truths, hilarious excuses and downright deathly glares between Maze and almost everyone else as well as a roll of the eyes for at least one of Ella’s comments.

You may ask that’s it? That’s the purpose of the whole episode? Not really. 

You see first whether before or after the Fun Bus we meet Trixie who might give her mum a solid advice if she meets Marcus. Trixie may act in this episode as one of the catalysts for not only Chloe’s engagement dissolvement but the start of Maze coming to her more human-like senses. I mean the kid did have a ‘girl power!’ message on her shirt (watch the BTS video)

Additionally, in this episode we see probably Charlotte talking with Marcus and that talk will not end well again. If the speculation is correct about Charlotte being killed by Marcus in 3x22 then the scene between the two characters at the station’s garage will be the reason why. (Please note that Tricia might have posted a photo of the WB garage so treat this as a wild speculation.)

And now the point of the 100th Deckerstar meet-cute. Let’s be honest who hasn’ watched The Holiday? 

In film and television, a meet cute is a scene in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time. This type of scene is a staple of romantic comedies.

At some point near the end of the episode, the Tribe gets close to the Roosevelt Hotel. The cast and crew also shot some scenes inside the hotel that night... At that location, The Tribe might find some things that we as the audience might not have been expecting to see in 3x22. 

PS There is a hidden door behind the library of the Rosevelt Hotel which might be used for the episode so beware of who is behind it.

Here is also the point where possibly Lucifer and Dan meet the Tribe. We know they will be driving at night talking and they will meet them on the bus so the Tribe might eventually team up in order to take down the murder of 3x22′s case

As you know it is impossible to know everything but I do believe that Chloe after the ride, watching some of  Lucifer’s actions -perhaps also Marcus’ - as well as Trixie’s displeasure over the whole engagement thing might be why she will decide to take a step back. 

You have to realise this. In order for Chloe and Lucifer coming so close in 3x23, then 3x22 should change Marcus and Chloe’s relationship on a fundamental level and irreversibly.

6 AM (GR) Sunday Edit: I realised I forgot to add DB twitter post in the speculation. As we know Amenadiel will have a chit-chat with Charlotte because that is to be expected by her actions in this episode but we also see in one of the photos Lesley Ann along with DB Woodside. 

As I mentioned before I expect all the characters to get something out of this episode. Especially the members of the Tribe. Therefore do not be too surprised if Amenadiel and Maze have a talk at some point probably around the end. After all, if someone can relate to Maze is Amenadiel of S2 who desperately wanted to go home and was ready to sacrifice everything for it...  

The End of 3x22 - All Hands On Decker Spoilers and Speculation Post.

Remember to have fun in this episode as everything goes down for Marclo in this episode and Deckerstar will rise once more in the next one!
