Thing I’d like to see happen next episode (that probably won’t:)

ambular-d:

Michael: *Leaves to prepare his troops or whatever, agreeing to meet back near the site of the rift*

Lucifer: *Waits a few minutes, staring up at the sky after him; then*:  All right, he’s gone.  You can come out now.

Gabriel’s body: *Wavers and vanishes*

Gabriel: *Walking out of the trees*  You knew?

Lucifer:  *Scoffs*  Of course I knew.  You got away with that once.  You didn’t really expect me to fall for it again?

Gabriel: But you didn’t give me away.

Lucifer:  What are you, crazy?  *Gestures up at the sky*  You think I want to be stuck here, alone, with him?

Gabriel:  Good point.  Actually, that’s a really good point.  What were you gonna to do about it if you hadn’t wound up stranded here?

Lucifer:  *Half-shrugs, pulling a vaguely uncomfortable face*  Welllll, the plan was to regroup and come back later, take down Michael and save everyone.  You’d have been okay, here, for a while, as long as you kept your head down.  You’re good at that.

Gabriel:  *Huffs, shaking his head in annoyance*  Okay, I take it back.  You’re only a medium-size bag of dicks.  So what now?  I mean, I get it, okay, you want your kid back.  And as much as it pains me to admit it, that was kind of a dick move Sam pulled…

Lucifer:  Oh, you think?  *Frustrated gesture*  See, it’s stuff like that that drives me crazy…they bitch when you’re bad, and then they keep right on bitching when you try to do better.  No wonder they were Dad’s favorites, they’re just like him.

Gabriel:  *Wave that away impatiently*  Sure, whatever.  Who’d have thought they’d be so unimpressed by your whole one day of repentance.  Bunch of ingrates, yadda yadda.  But come on…you’re not really gonna turn our whole world over to that psychopath?  I mean, forget the humans.  Forget what’s left of the other angels, even.  You’re just gonna let him waltz in and bring it all crashing down?  The Earth, everything?

Lucifer: *Long silence, staring off into nothing; then,*  No.  No, I’m not.  I just haven’t quite figured out how we stop him.  Yet.  I’m working on it.

Congratulations, you have just resurrected my need to see Gabriel and Lucifer bro it up (to a degree – I’m not talking it’s suddenly all unicorns and sparkles) and maybe have a tiny bit of bonding.
