As more and more people realize that Lucifer Morningstar is indeed the devil, there's one character, ironically close to him, who was late to discover his true identity: Ella Lopez (Aimee Garcia).While Ella does realize his real identity, the show has left the discovery until the tail-end of the final season.

Part 2 of the season has also come and gone with fans expecting that she will discover his true nature, but Ella remained blissfully unaware even throughout most of season 6.Ella has only realized that Lucifer Morningstar is the devil in disguise in season 6 episode 7. Her investigation about the celestial came to a head in episode 7, and it all came crashing down during Maze and Eve's wedding. Discovering the truth about the celestial, that she is friends with some of them, and the devil's real identity, is something she discovered, not told about.Perhaps the weight of the discovery and the feeling that the people closest to her, friends and colleagues alike, kept her in the dark was too much. She drank throughout the party and at one point stopped the party when she took the mic and exposed everything she knew.She called out Lucifer in front of the crowd for being the devil, Amenadiel for being an angel, Eve as Eve in the Bible, Maze for being a demon, and more. While Chloe tried to console Ella, she already felt betrayed. While she has always believed in celestial beings and the supernatural, what she couldn't process was how her friends kept her from the truth.Read more: 8 shows to watch if you like Netflix's The SandmanHow does the show leave Ella's character?The series ends its six seasons with Ella Lopez in a much better relationship with Lucifer after discovering his real identity.
