Linda is in her office, writing about her time with Lucifer as his therapist. Lucifer barges in and Linda quickly hides her work, and Lucifer notices and asks what she's working on. The therapist dismisses it as her "journaling", and Lucifer moves on and tells her that it's Linda's fault that her advice to him about helping someone he didn't care about was wrong.

Linda points out that she didn't say that, and Lucifer ignores her and says that he ended up caring for the person. Linda suggests that Lucifer might look to the past to get answers, and says that they met because of a case that she still doesn't know about. Since she doesn't know much about it, Linda wants Lucifer to tell her more so she can write more of her work. Lucifer talks about how Delilah was murdered and she Linda's patient, and Lucifer and Chloe met and they caught the killer, a record producer Jimmy Barnes who was trying to profit from Delilah's death. Lucifer says that Jimmy was a vile man, and then figures that it's better that he helps someone he hates and Jimmy is perfect, He leaves without giving any more details, much to Linda's disappointment.

At the station, Ella is in her lab peering at the frog, which she put in a terrarium. Lucifer comes in and Ella asks him how far he thinks a frog could fall and live.

Lucifer doesn't care, and asks for her help finding Jimmy. Ella looks him up in the system and discovers that he died.

Chloe tells Lucifer that they can't just leave, and grabs him. An animated tussle ensues, and Chloe says that the struggle makes the goal all the more worthy. Lucifer agrees and Chloe points out that the door has disappeared. Lucifer tries to summon a new one but can't, and can't feel the control he normally has in Hell.
