Does Maze die in Lucifer season 5 part 2, episode 12?

From dealing with abandonment, mom issues, and losing Eve, Mazikeen has been to Hell and back (and not just figuratively). But does she also die in Lucifer season 5 part 2? Spoilers ahead!

After Maze betrays Lucifer, and by teaming up with Michael no less, many Lucifans had a change of heart about the character. Maybe fans didn’t immediately hate her, but they did begin to question the direction this character was headed.

That said, it’s no wonder why one of the main questions for this season was whether or not Maze would survive.

When God arrives to stop his sons from fighting, Maze wisely hides, knowing it’s not necessarily the right time to ask God for a soul. And when Maze does have the opportunity to hurt God, she decides not to. God then speaks with her and, in his own way, tells Maze that miracles happen and she does have a soul.

Maze does, however, get fatally injured in this episode. But if not by God or Lucifer, then how?

Nothing to worry about, Lucifans! Maze only pretends to die to help Lucifer pull the ultimate prank on Dan!

In the middle of a shootout, Dan is about to get shot when Maze heroically jumps in front of the “bullet” to save him. I have never seen Dan so scared in his life! It’s all very convincing, I must say, so it’s no wonder why Dan was horrified and so crushed over Maze’s “death.”

Soon enough, it’s revealed that everyone around him was in on the prank and Maze gets up laughing.

To add salt to the wound, Maze tells Dan she would never take a bullet for him. Ouch! Maze does feel bad about her words, though, so tells Dan “not in the chest, anyway.” Poor Dan! But poor fans, too! I have to admit, I was scared there for a minute.

What about you? Did you truly believe Maze had been killed? It would have been one horrible way to go, but the show can be unpredictable.

Lucifer season 5 part 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
