Copied over from the Episode 1:13 thread so all the theories are in the same place:
Did God really raise Lucifer after Malcolm shot him?
This draws a little on info we learn in Season 2 but mostly from Season 1.
- When Lucifer gives Malcolm the Coin in exchange for his life the exact words he uses are 'it's all yours if you don't shot me'
- When Malcolm does shoot Lucifer in this episode I suggest that it invalidated the deal and ownership of the Coin (on a celestrial/spiritual level) would have reverted to Lucifer.
- Lucifer could then escapes Hell using the Coin, which we do see as the coin desintergrates ('one use only') when he gets back to earth.
- Season 2 established that a soul that escapes hell enters a recently dead body (in this case Lucifer's own) and heals it of all injury. Hence he was fully restored and able to save Chloe from Malcolm
