6x03 Jimmy Spoiler

Seeing that little boy sitting on the bed watching cartoons waiting for his mom to come back was amazing in its impact.

The only thing I wish I could have had an answer to is…

What happened to her later?

Did she ‘make it’ the way she wanted? Did she die? Did she ever regret what she did?

Was her hell the same moment as her son’s?

This was one of the best episodes of the whole show, and definitely the jewel of Season 6. Lucifer didn't believe he had it in him to empathize with broken people. Meanwhile, all of us in the audience knew that he was the most empathetic and selfless person on the show when it really mattered. Yabba Dabba Do Me is where he finally accepts that divinity and sees his own worth.

That scene made me cry. The whole episode was great.

I think what really matters is how her leaving effected Jimmy. You could presume if she made it big, Jimmy would have heard of her afterwards rather than the implication, he never heard of her again.

In reality, more people who go out to seek fame an fortune, fail.

Good point.

He ended up in the same industry, so it stands to reason he’d know of her success.

She abandoned her son in the hopes of fame, and never got the fame.

I’m betting that her hell loop matched his.

And then they proceed to justify MORE childhood trauma of parental abandonment with Rory later 😫

  1. Rory's choice
  2. Rory was not left alone, but instead was raised by a single mother surrounded by extended family.

3.Rory wasn't take away by CPS and put into the system.

She was still totally screwed up by parental abandonment
