Love, Gilda, a documentary on the life and career of actress/comedian Gilda Radner, has been chosen as the opening night film at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. The festival’s 17th year will kick off on Wednesday, April 18 and is scheduled to run through April 29th.
“As a Festival that has always supported women’s voices and is largely run by women we are incredibly proud to celebrate the inimitable voice of Gilda during the opening night of our Festival,” stated Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder and CEO of the Tribeca Film Festival. “Gilda Radner was a powerful comedic force of nature who opened doors and thrilled audiences while becoming one of the most prolific comedians of a generation. Her cutting edge humor was only second to her dedicated leadership in cancer care with her eponymous Gilda’s Club.”
“Love, Gilda is the right film at the right time and the perfect way to open our Festival,” added Paula Weinstein, EVP of Tribeca Enterprises. “Gilda is a woman for the ages, an extraordinary talent in film, television, and theater who overcame her personal struggles to make us laugh, to make us cry. She understood the healing power of laughter not simply for her audience but in her own life as she struggled with cancer and lead the way for all of us to make the world a better place.”
CNN Films’ Love, Gilda was directed by Lisa D’Apolito and was made with the support of the Gilda Radner estate. D’Apolito also produced the film with Bronwyn Berry, Meryl Goldsmith, and James Tumminia. Julie Goldman, Christopher Clements, Carolyn Hepburn, Alan Zweibel, Robin Zweibel, Amy Entelis, and Courtney Sexton executive produced.
“I fell in love with Gilda Radner while doing pro bono work at Gilda’s Club, the cancer support organization Gene Wilder founded in honor of Gilda, in Greenwich Village where I grew up,” said first-time feature filmmaker D’Apolito. “This started my journey to discover who Gilda was as a person and as a performer. Gilda inspired me and many other women with her remarkable spirit and unique talent that changed the world of comedy. I’m grateful and honored to share the extraordinary legacy of Gilda Radner at the Tribeca Film Festival.”
The Plot: “Love, Gilda opens a window into the world of celebrated Emmy® and Grammy® award-winning comedian Gilda Radner who became a cultural icon the moment audiences first laughed with her on Saturday Night Live’s debut episode. A trailblazer for female comedians, her impact on the entertainment industry has endured almost four decades.
The film is a true autobiography of a pioneering woman, told in her own words and in her own voice. It weaves together audiotapes, rare home movies, diary entries, and interviews with her friends and those inspired by her including: Bill Hader, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Cecily Strong; SNL original cast members Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman, and Paul Shaffer; as well as Lorne Michaels (SNL creator and producer), Alan Zweibel (SNL writer), Stephen Schwartz (Broadway composer); Andrew Alexander (CEO of Second City), and long-time friend and actor Martin Short.
Gilda Radner captivated millions of television viewers as an original cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1975-1980. The popularity of her now classic comedic characters Roseanne Roseannadanna, Emily Litella, and Lisa Loopner fueled the young talent to meteoric fame in television, movies, and on Broadway. After finding happiness in love with Gene Wilder she received the cruelest joke of all, cancer. Her fight against the disease served as an inspiration to people impacted by the illness to stay positive and to keep laughing no matter what challenges life brings you.”

Amber Heard has signed on to star in Run Away with Me, a romantic thriller to be directed by Fred Grivois (Through the Air, 15 Minutes of War). The casting announcement was made by Sentinel Pictures and XYZ Films, the production companies backing the project. Filming is expected to get underway later this year.
“Run Away with Me” is in the great tradition of movies such as Frantic and True Romance or more recently Taken, which is why it caught my attention in the first place. It is an ‘Action-romance’ story set in my hometown, Paris. A city famous for its beauty, that also hides a darker side. Run Away with Me is simple and realistic, raw and violent. It is about real people facing exceptional but true problems, and solving them the way any of us would… Or the way we wished we would,” explained director Grivois.
Grivois is directing from a screenplay by Matthew Ian Cirulnick (South Beach, Absentia). Adam Brawer and David Beitchman are producing and Nate Bolotind, Aram Tertzakian, and Raphaël Rocher are executive producing.
Amber Heard’s credits include Justice League, The Danish Girl, Adderrall Diaries, The Playboy Club, Never Back Down, Pineapple Express, and Magic Mike XXL. She recently finished work on Aquaman opposite Jason Momoa and London Fields with Jim Sturgess and Theo James.
The Plot:Run Away With Me centered on Tom and Kimberly (Amber Heard), two star-crossed lovers escaping the dark criminal underbelly of the European modeling industry. Tom, an American visiting Paris for his best friend’s bachelor party, falls for the beautiful, mysterious Kimberly. When Tom learns a surprising truth about her, his trip takes a lethal turn; the two embark on a riveting journey through Paris streets to start a new life together.

The writing was on the wall with the lower ratings Once Upon a Timegenerated following its move this season to a Friday night timeslot. That new Friday slot combined with the loss of most of the major characters fans had grown to love over the previous six seasons pointed to the show’s end, with ABC confirming Once Upon a Time will close its storybook with the season seven finale.
“Seven years ago, we set out to create a show about hope, where even in the darkest of times, a happy ending would always be possible,” stated series creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. “But we never imagined the happy ending that was actually in store for all of us — years and years of adventure, romance, magic and hope. We’re so grateful to our brilliant collaborators — the cast, crew and writers — as well as our partners at the studio and network for making this journey possible. But most of all, we want to thank the fans. Their fierce loyalty and devotion was the real magic behind Once Upon a Time. We hope they join us for these last few hours as we journey to the Enchanted Forrest for one more adventure.”
“When we first heard Adam and Eddy’s pitch for Once Upon a Time, we knew it was something incredibly special. For seven years, they have captivated us with their creativity and passion while reimagining some of our most beloved Disney fairytales, creating an undeniable global hit. Saying goodbye will be bittersweet, but Once Upon a Time will forever be part of the ABC legacy and we can’t wait for fans to join us in this epic final chapter,” said ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey, announcing the series’ end.
Season seven is set to return on March 2, 2018. The cast of this final season is led by Lana Parrilla as Regina/Roni, Robert Carlyle as Rumpelstiltskin/Weaver, and Colin O’Donoghue as Hook/Rogers. The season seven cast also includes Andrew J. West as Henry Mills, Gabrielle Anwar as Lady Tremaine/Victoria Belfrey, Dania Ramirez as Cinderella/Jacinda, Alison Fernandez as Lucy, Mekia Cox as Sabine/Tiana, Adelaide Kane as Drizella/Ivy, Emma Booth as The Witch/Gothel/Eloise Gardener, and Rose Reynolds as Alice/Tilly.
Following the announcement that the series will not return for an eighth season, Lana Parrilla took to Instagram to post a message to fans.
The worlds of Star Wars and Game of Thrones are colliding, but not in front of the camera. Lucasfilm and Disney announced the creative minds behind HBO’s award-winning Game of Thrones will be handling writing duties on a new series of upcoming Star Wars films.
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have committed to writing and producing the new Star Wars series of films, leaving Westeros behind to travel to a galaxy far, far away. Lucasfilm is keeping the details on the new films under wraps, however they have stated that the new films “will be separate from both the episodic Skywalker saga and the recently-announced trilogy being developed by Rian Johnson, writer-director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
The studio has not indicated when we can expect this new set of Star Wars films.
“David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today,” stated Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “Their command of complex characters, depth of story and richness of mythology will break new ground and boldly push Star Wars in ways I find incredibly exciting.”
“In the summer of 1977 we traveled to a galaxy far, far away, and we’ve been dreaming of it ever since,” said Benioff and Weiss in a joint statement. “We are honored by the opportunity, a little terrified by the responsibility, and so excited to get started as soon as the final season of Game of Thrones is complete.”
The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones is expected to air in 2019. Following the end of Game of Thrones, Weiss and Benioff were expected to begin work as writers, executive producers, and showrunners on the announced HBO series, Confederate. The announcement of that series drew an overwhelmingly negative response due to its controversial plot. Per HBO, Confederate would take place in an alternate timeline in which America’s Southern states seceded from the Union and formed a country in which slavery remains legal. There’s no word on whether Weiss and Benioff’s involvement in new Star Wars films means Confederate has been tabled for now.
CBS All Access’ The Good Wife spinoff, The Good Fight, will return for its second season on Sunday, March 4, 2018. With a little less than a month before its premiere, the network’s released the official full trailer for The Good Fight.
The follow-up to The Good Wife stars Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, Rose Leslie, Delroy Lindo, Audra McDonald, Sarah Steele, Justin Bartha, Michael Boatman and Nyambi Nyambi. The series was created by Robert King and Michelle King, the team behind The Good Wife, along with Phil Alden Robinson. The Kings serve as showrunners and executive producers. Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, Liz Glotzer and Brooke Kennedy also executive produce the one-hour drama.
Season two will consist of 13 new episodes, available exclusively on CBS’ digital subscription video on-demand and live streaming service.
The Season 2 Plot: In season two of The Good Fight, the world is going insane, and the Chicago murder rate is on the rise. Amidst the insanity, Diane, Lucca, Maia and the rest of the law firm find themselves under psychological assault when a client at another firm kills his lawyer for overcharging. After a copycat murder, the firm begins to look at its own clients suspiciously. Meanwhile, Diane battles with a new partner at the firm, Liz Reddick-Lawrence (Audra McDonald); Maia becomes tougher after her parents’ scandal puts her on trial; and Lucca is brought back into Colin’s orbit.
A Look Back at the Season 1 Plot:The Good Fight picks up one year after the events of the final episode of The Good Wife. In the new series, an enormous financial scam has destroyed the reputation of a young lawyer, Maia Rindell, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor and godmother Diane Lockhart’s savings. Forced out of Lockhart & Lee, they join Lucca Quinn at one of Chicago’s preeminent law firms.
Focus Features’ upcoming thriller 7 Days in Entebbe has released a new one-minute clip titled “Hijacking.” The film’s based on true events and stars Rosamund Pike (Hostiles, Gone Girl) and Daniel Brühl (Captain America: Civil War, The Alienist) in the lead roles.
In addition to Rosamund Pike and Daniel Brühl, the cast includes Eddie Marsan (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House), Ben Schnetzer (Warcraft: The Beginning, Happy Town), Lior Ashkenazi (Good Family, Foxtrot), and Denis Ménochet (Assassin’s Creed, Spotless).
José Padilha (Narcos, Elite Squad: The Enemy Within, Robocop) directed the movie from a script by Gregory Burke (’71). Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner produced 7 Days in Entebbe with Kate Solomon, Ron Halpern, and Michelle Wright. Jo Burn, Liza Chasin, Olivier Courson, Jean-Claude Darmon, Jonathan King, Angela Morrison, and Jeff Skoll were on board as executive producers.
Focus Features has set a March 16, 2018 theatrical release date. The action thriller earned a PG-13 MPAA rating for violence, some thematic material, drug use, smoking and brief strong language.
The Plot: A gripping political thriller inspired by the true events of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris, the film depicts the most daring rescue mission ever attempted. 7 Days In Entebbe brings the longstanding conflict between Israel and Palestine into focus by recounting the heroic military mission while also exploring the nuanced perspectives of both sides.
7 Days in Entebbe is based on the 1976 true story of four hijackers who took a plane hostage and forced it to land in Entebbe, Uganda, while they demanded the release of dozens of Palestinian terrorists. The ticking-clock thriller follows the hijackers and hostages as well as the political leaders trying to decide whether to negotiate or send an elite special forces unit on a dramatic rescue mission to free the hostages.

FX has announced the return of the critically acclaimed comic book-inspired series, Legion, with the network setting an April 3, 2018 premiere date for season two of Legion. The series, set in the X-Men world, will air on Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT.
Legion was created by Noah Hawley (Fargo) and is based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz. The cast of the popular series is led by Dan Stephens (Beauty and the Beast, Downton Abbey) as David Haller and includes Rachel Keller as Syd, Jean Smart as Melanie Bird, Jeremie Harris as Ptonomy, Amber Midthunder as Kerry, and Bill Irwin as Cary. The cast also includes Aubrey Plaza as Lenny, Jemaine Clement as Oliver Bird, Hamish Linklater as Clark, and Navid Negahban as Amahl Farouk.
Noah Hawley executive produces along with John Cameron, Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb, and Jim Chory.
The Plot:Legion is the story of David Haller (Stevens), a man who believed himself to be schizophrenic only to discover that he may actually be the most powerful mutant the world has ever seen.
From childhood, David shuffled from one psychiatric institution to the next until, in his early 30s, he met and fell in love with a beautiful and troubled fellow patient named Syd (Keller). After Syd and David shared a startling encounter, he was forced to confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real.
Syd led David to Melanie Bird (Smart), a demanding but nurturing therapist who heads a team of specialists – Ptonomy (Harris), Kerry (Midthunder) and Cary (Irwin) – each of whom possesses a unique and extraordinary gift. Together, they helped David to recognize and harness his hidden powers. With their support, David finally unlocked a deeply suppressed truth – he had been haunted his entire life by a malicious parasite of unimaginable power. Known as the “Shadow King,” this malevolent creature appeared in the form of David’s friend Lenny (Plaza), but is actually an ancient being named Amahl Farouk.
In an epic showdown, David and his friends battled his demon, ultimately forcing it from David’s body. Unfortunately, Farouk found a new host – Melanie’s husband Oliver Bird (Clement) – and escaped. Just when they thought they’d earned a moment of respite, a mysterious orb appeared and took David away to an unknown place. With David and Oliver missing and Farouk on the loose, the team forms an unlikely alliance with their former enemy Clark (Linklater) and his well-funded government organization, Division III. Meanwhile, Amahl Farouk (Negahban) is on a new path to attaining infinite and world-ending power.
Following an episode that welcomed back Ruth Connell as Rowena, The CW’s Supernatural season 13 episode 13 welcomes another special recurring guest star – Danneel Ackles. Danneel and series star Jensen Ackles have been married since May 2010, but the February 8, 2018 Supernatural episode marks her first guest starring appearance on her husband’s long-running series.
Directed by Eduardo Sanchez from a script by Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner, season 13 episode 13 is titled “Devil’s Bargain.”
The season 13 cast includes Jensen Ackles as Dean, Jared Padalecki as Sam, Misha Collins as Castiel, Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer, Alexander Calvert as Jack, and Samantha Smith as Mary Winchester.
The “Devil’s Bargain” Plot: DANNEEL ACKLES GUEST STARS – Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel (Misha Collins) search for Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) who, meanwhile, strikes an unlikely deal with a local faith healer named Sister Jo (guest star Danneel Ackles). Asmodeus (guest star Jeffrey Vincent Parise) inches closer to finding Jack (Alexander Calvert).
The Season 13 Plot: The exciting journey of the Winchester brothers continues as Supernatural enters its thirteenth season. Sam and Dean have encountered every kind of supernatural threat, facing down monsters, demons, and gods. Saving people, hunting things, and keeping the world safe. In the show’s twelfth season, the Winchesters were reunited with their long-dead mother, and joined forces with the British arm of the Men of Letters. But things turned from bad to worse, with the return of Lucifer and the surprising revelation that the Devil is expecting a child. Now, Sam and Dean find themselves facing a creature of almost unimaginable power… one that could save the world… or destroy it.

Fox’s Lucifer season three episode 14 puts Ella’s family in the spotlight, with Chloe (Lauren German) and Lucifer (Tom Ellis) investigating a murder that may have been committed by Ella’s older brother. Of course, dealing with Ella’s brother provides Lucifer plenty of opportunities to comment on his own relationship with his dad’s favorite son, Amenadiel.
The episode titled “My Brother’s Keeper” begins with a man’s phone ringing, indicating it’s the LAPD on the other end of the line. The call comes at the most inopportune time as he’s picking up a suitcase of diamonds, and the man in possession of the gems isn’t happy about any possible connection to the LAPD. It turns out the call is coming from Ella (Aimee Garcia). She’s dialed up her brother, Jay (Rey Valentin), and is not pleased to be sent straight to voice mail.
At the police station, Lucifer wants Cain (Tom Welling) to take off his shirt so he can look at the mark his dad left. It’s just a circle now because the skull and spears tattoo has healed and Cain hasn’t reapplied it yet. Lucifer doesn’t understand why Cain hates being immortal, and he’s pissed that his research – which amounted to watching Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code – hasn’t led to a way to kill him.
Cain and Lucifer agree that Amenadiel (DB Woodside), the brainy one, might have the answer.
Ella pays a visit to Chloe’s place and she and Trixie (Scarlett Estevez) high five after realizing they’re both wearing sushi shirts. Chloe’s out but Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who’s busy eviscerating a dummy, is actually who Ella’s there to see. While Maze talks to Ella, Trixie takes over with knife practice. (No way would Chloe allow this!)
Ella explains she can’t reach her brother and Maze, being Maze, doesn’t care. That is until Ella says she’ll pay for Maze to find him.
Back at Lux, Amenadiel refuses to help Lucifer kill Cain. Dad placed the curse and there had to be a reason. All Lucifer wants his brother to do is look at Cain’s mark, but Amenadiel wants none of it. He’s about to leave when Lucifer says, genuinely shocked, “We’ve been through a lot, you and I. I thought we were getting along. I thought we were brothers for once.”
Amenadiel agrees but reminds Lucifer their dad placed him on Earth as his test, and he’s there to protect Lucifer from himself. Amenadiel doesn’t care that Lucifer gave his word.
Maze and Ella make it over to the diamond dealer’s place and Ella explains that her brother is a diamond authenticator so it makes sense he would be there. When they enter the room, they find the diamond dealer, Fahrid Nasser, dead. Maze points out that means Ella’s brother might be the killer.
Ella calls in Chloe, much to Maze’s disappointment. Chloe and Lucifer arrive to investigate, and Ella explains that Jay is her older brother. He’s also the “good one” and they all look up to him. Lucifer, of course, makes the discussion about himself, saying older brothers are never there when you need them to help you kill someone. (It’s amazing how everyone just skips over Lucifer’s bizarre comments.)
Maze found Jay’s wallet in the room, so it’s obvious he was there and was probably the killer. Ella, attempting to clear Jay, points out powder burns indicate the killer was left-handed. Her brother is right-handed.
Chloe thinks Ella should excuse herself from the case, but Ella is determined to go find Jay with Maze. After they leave, Chloe says she trusts Ella’s instincts so she’ll pursue other angles. However, Lucifer’s just as sure that brothers can not be trusted. As he talks, Chloe finds what could be a piece of evidence – a loose diamond.
Charlotte (Tricia Helfer) pays a visit to Dr. Linda (Rachael Harris) after getting a recommendation from Lucifer. Dr. Linda, however, is obviously stunned and frightened to have Charlotte sitting on her couch. She’s not Lucifer’s mom anymore, but Linda struggles to see her as the old Charlotte Richards.
Charlotte’s never been to a doctor to talk about her feelings before and thinks Dr. Linda’s reaction is normal. She spills her story, saying she felt like she was in Hell during her near-death experience. Finally, Dr. Linda finds her voice and kicks Charlotte out. “I can’t help you. You need to leave now,” says Dr. Linda, leaving Charlotte to believe she’s beyond help.
Back at the station, Lucifer wishes he was able to kill his brother, like Cain did. Lucifer calls his brother a d*ck and Cain wonders how Lucifer knows Amenadiel is God’s favorite. Long story short, Lucifer reveals a book said it and therefore it must be true. However, he still thinks he can bring Amenadiel around.
Dan (Kevin Alejandro), Chloe, and Lucifer discuss Fahrid’s death, and Dan and Chloe are looking for someone other than Ella’s brother. Dan has learned the diamond Chloe found was reported stolen and it turns out diamonds have serial numbers laser etched in them. It’s possible the dead man is the one who stole it since he was a diamond broker for the store it was stolen from.
There wasn’t any surveillance camera footage or any witnesses at the store where the theft occurred, but Chloe thinks their victim may have been the thief. If he had a partner, that person might have killed him.
Chloe and Lucifer head to the store where the burglary occurred and Lucifer confesses he believes diamonds are huge practical jokes someone played since they’re just lumps of coal. Chloe and Lucifer pretend to be engaged and claim to be looking for a ring. (Lucifer had no idea Chloe was going to pull off this charade.)
After Chloe insults the diamonds on display, the salesman heads off to retrieve more expensive merchandise. While he’s gone, Chloe shows Lucifer all the surveillance cameras and points out that they’re not new. She thinks the theft was an inside job.
The salesman returns, shows off more unacceptable rings, and then Chloe whips out the bag with the stolen diamond. She lies and says Lucifer gave it to her for Valentine’s Day, and she thinks he’s cheap. She asks the salesman for his opinion and he tells them the diamond was stolen. Chloe cusses out Lucifer and makes a scene as the salesman begins to call the cops.
The salesman’s stopped in mid-dial by Tiffany James (Jackie Geary), the owner of the store. She doesn’t want the cops involved and swears she’ll find them the perfect diamond.
In Tiffany’s office, Chloe reveals she’s a detective and wonders why Tiffany robbed her own store. After clearing up that he’s not cheap, Lucifer asks Tiffany how she helped Jay Lopez murder Fahrid Nasser. Tiffany claims not to know Jay and not to know Fahrid is dead.
Chloe whispers to Lucifer that he needs to stop making everything about his fight with Amenadiel. She adds that she wishes she had a brother to fight with.
Tiffany admits to knowing Fahrid and then Lucifer does his Jedi mind trick. Tiffany’s biggest desire is to punch every millennial in the face. Sales are down because of them. She admits she was in on the robbery with Fahrid and that he was supposed to sell the diamonds back to her after he cleaned them. It was all just a big insurance scam because of the millennials.
Maze and Ella visit a cheap hotel and Ella believes her brother would never stay in such a place. Maze threatens the clerk and he turns over the guestbook. Ella recognizes her brother’s fake name, Michael Knight, the name of the lead character in Jay’s favorite show.
Lucifer shows up at Dr. Linda’s after receiving a text that she needed to see him. She’s pouring herself a drink when Lucifer barges in, and Linda reveals Charlotte came to see her as a client. Lucifer thinks that’s a good thing since Linda’s the best. Linda explains that when Charlotte sat in front of her, all of the horrible things that happened to her came back.
Lucifer patiently explains Charlotte did nothing wrong and his mother is gone for good. He calls her an innocent woman who needs Dr. Linda’s help.
Insurance adjuster Don Zeikel (Ed Kerr) visits the station and thanks Chloe for catching Tiffany James. He admits it’s not often they catch insurance fraud. He says it’s almost an untraceable crime because “cleaners” can get rid of the serial numbers on diamonds. Chloe and Dan realize Ella’s brother is once again a suspect.

Maze and Ella continue to track down Jay, with Ella breaking into his hotel room. Surprised, he swings a bat at Maze…never a good idea under any circumstances.
Over at Lux, Cain and Amenadiel finally meet and Amenadiel still won’t help him. Cain explains that being an immortal human being is boring, nothing surprises him anymore (Amenadiel helpfully suggests watching Game of Thrones), and it’s been a literal Hell on Earth. Amenadiel is not sympathetic, and then Cain asks if he’s the one who marked him. Amenadiel admits he did it, so Cain threatens to shoot him. He demands to know how to get rid of the mark.
Back at the hotel, Ella tells her brother his wallet was at Fahrid’s murder scene. He claims not to have known the diamonds were stolen and says Fahrid was jumpy. When Jay used the bathroom, he heard the gunshots and then took off running when he saw the dead body. Ella, angry at her brother, beats him with her shoe while cussing at him in Spanish.
Chloe calls while Ella and Maze are with Jay, and Ella lies and says she hasn’t located him. When Chloe hangs up, she knows Ella was lying. Lucifer and Dan try and figure out where Ella would take her brother, with Lucifer suggesting a strip club and Dan suggesting Comic-Con. Chloe, once again the voice of reason, thinks Ella will take Jay back to the crime scene to try and prove his innocence.
Meanwhile, Amenadiel continues to refuse to help Cain. Cain then threatens an innocent bystander to get Amenadiel to remove the mark, and finally Amenadiel reveals he doesn’t know how to remove it. Amenadiel was only the messenger.
Cain actually believes Amenadiel but that doesn’t stop him from clearing the club and kicking Amenadiel’s “angelic ass.” The two engage in hand-to-hand combat and it’s pretty even. Finally, Amenadiel’s had enough and he shoots Cain just to get a little rest. After he recovers, they return to fighting.
Maze and Ella have Jay walk them through Fahrid’s murder. Jay says he peeked out of the bathroom and saw the murderer standing over Fahrid’s body. He had a ski mask and Jay only remembers him wearing red wingtip shoes. When Ella tries to reenact Jay’s version, she determines it could not have gone down that way.
Maze finds Fahrid’s hidden stash room which has laser engraving equipment. Chloe and Lucifer arrive just as Maze breaks into it, and Chloe explains that that equipment’s used to clean stolen diamonds. Jay admits he was in that hidden room doing just that when Fahrid was murdered. He also claims it was a one-time thing.
Panicking, Jay pulls a gun on Chloe. He won’t put it down and Ella gets in the way, allowing Jay to make a run for it.
A short while later, Ella tries to convince Maze to continue to help her find Jay and get him out of trouble. Maze agrees but will only do so for a price. Ella’s disappointed Maze is only doing this for money, and she can’t believe her brother would lie to her like this.
Maze leaves and Ella, disappointed in pretty much everything and everyone at this point, taunts Lucifer to say he was right all along. Lucifer won’t and actually seems concerned. Just then Chloe yells from the stash room that maybe Ella’s brother wasn’t lying about seeing the killer.
The room is equipped with video surveillance equipment and Jay could have seen something. Ella tells Chloe what her brother said he saw, including the red wingtip shoes. That seems to ring a bell with Chloe and she thinks she knows who the killer is.
Jay also thinks he knows and confronts insurance adjuster Don Zeikel, telling him he won’t get away with Fahrid’s murder. Jay refuses to take the blame for the murder and Don says they can go to the cops and he’ll tell the truth. Unfortunately, it’s a ruse and Jay is easily disarmed. Don demands Jay clean the diamonds and then he’ll kill him.
Chloe and Lucifer make Ella stay outside the hotel as they head to Don’s room.
Once more back to Lux we go and Amenadiel and Cain are still going at it. Amenadiel wants Cain to just accept his punishment for killing his own brother. Cain reminds Amenadiel he also planned to kill his own brother, reminding him that he pawned the job of killing Lucifer off on someone else. Cain wonders what punishment Amenadiel deserves.
Ella waits outside as she was told and sees Jay leaving with Don. When she tries to stop them, Don turns the gun on her. Ella warns Don the LAPD is onto him, and Don admits he was working with Fahrid but Fahrid got greedy. Jay tries to get Don to leave Ella out of it, but he refuses. As Don’s about to shoot Ella, Maze tosses a knife and kills him. She leaves before Ella can even thank her.
As Don’s dead body is being taken away, Ella sticks to her story that the knife just came out of nowhere and anyone could have thrown it. However, Chloe knows it was Maze because she recognized the knife. Chloe assures Ella that Maze isn’t in trouble because she was just trying to save her life.
As Ella and Jay have a happy reunion, Chloe lets Lucifer know Jay’s probably not going to be charged. Lucifer compliments Chloe on keeping Jay out of jail, and she can’t believe it. “I’m sure if you had a brother, he would be very proud of you,” says Lucifer.
The bag of stolen diamonds has not been located, but Chloe’s sure they’ll show up.
Dr. Linda shows up at Charlotte’s office and apologizes for refusing to treat her. Charlotte realizes she must have hurt Linda during her lost time, but she doesn’t want a hand-out. She lets Linda off the hook, telling her she doesn’t need to treat her. Linda, however, believes she does. But first she stabs Charlotte’s hand with a pin to make sure she bleeds and feels pain. That accomplished, Linda relaxes.
Later that night, Lucifer catches Jay with the bag of diamonds. Lucifer calls him “Evil Lopez” and knows it wasn’t just a one-time thing. Jay explains he has to look out for everyone and it’s tough. Jay reveals it started small, helping out his family with one thing after another. He admits he takes a little bit for himself, too, and he wants to know if Lucifer will tell Ella what he’s learned. Lucifer says no because that would hurt Ella and he won’t allow that to happen. Jay turns over the bag of diamonds as Lucifer warns him he’ll be watching to make sure he never disappoints Ella again.
Lucifer arrives back at Lux to find the place destroyed. Amenadiel’s still around and he tells Lucifer he’s the one who gave Cain the mark. He continues to claim the mark is supposed to be there and he can’t remove it. Amenadiel warns Lucifer that Cain only has one goal and if he works with him, that will incur God’s wrath. Lucifer laughs, saying that’s the whole point.
Lucifer tells Amenadiel he doesn’t need protecting and warns his brother to stop meddling. Amenadiel doesn’t agree to leave his brother alone, saying he’ll continue to get in Lucifer’s way.
