[[3rd POV]
After finding out that her Mama did indeed know that she was into both, Bloom had a rather similar reaction to Beatrix, especially once she got teased by Alice who had also known. It wasn't hard to tell either, as they had noticed the reactions she had when they had watched Game of Thrones (without Rose as it wasn't appropriate for her) and she saw Jon and then Daenerys.
It was cute, really.
At the moment Lucifer was in the LAPD, leaning back at Decker's desk as she waited for Samael. She had avoided the last case, mainly because she really didn't want to get involved in musical shenanigans, and the one after that was a rather brutal prank on Dan, one that the man had actually needed.
But now she was here, and waiting for them to arrive, and soon they did. But they didn't arrive alone, as Linda was in cuffs in between the two of them, causing Lucifer to raise an eyebrow.
"Well, I can't say I was expecting to see this. Also, congratulations on finally getting together, took you two far too long" Lucifer said, glancing at them before going back to Linda.
"How do you? Right, you're like a God or something, totally forgot" Chloe said with a sigh, as Maze spoke up.
"Do you have any idea who did this? I mean, you know she obviously didn't kill anyone"
"I do. But I also won't be telling you that, and before you say anything, it's because I respect Linda's privacy and it's not my right to explain this sort of thing to you. You'll find the one who did this in the end, and the case will be quite...helpful for one of you" Lucifer replied, giving Linda a look as her eyes widened in understanding.
"You sound like my father" Samael said with a grossed out look on his face.
Snorting, Lucifer replied "Yes well, I don't usually like doing this, but this is one of those situations where it's for the best, Samael. You'll understand later on, now, why don't we get into a private room so you can explain everything to them?" Lucifer said, as they all moved into the room.

What followed was a long explanation on how she had a secret daughter, one that she had been stalking for a while now after finding her. Lucifer kept silent the entire time, as she could literally sense the love Linda had for her daughter who she had to give up when she was much younger, and not ready to take care of a child.
It wasn't on par with her, but the intensity was on par with Chloe's, which said a lot.
"Well, quite the secret you've been keeping from us" Samael said as he leaned back in his chair, contemplating the fact that his therapist had been keeping something like this hidden, and for this long.
"You have a biological daughter who doesn't know you exist?"
"Adriana" Linda said with a nod.
"And you've been stalking her" Chloe asked, trying to make sure she had all her information right.
"More like...keeping an eye on her. From a distance" Linda replied.
"Secretly" Samael added. Which was...basically stalking, but Linda didn't want to admit that she was stalking her own daughter, which was....a little creepy.
"Of course, secretly. A little harmless stalking never killed anyone. Okay, um...after Maze tracked her down, I...I told myself to be patient. Wait for her to find me. But I couldn't help it. I had to see her" Linda said, a sigh escaping her lips as she did so.
"So you just did it. One can definitely understand that" Samael said, nodding alongside Chloe while Lucifer silently listened to Linda.
"Yes, and it's a good thing I did. Because, even from a distance I could tell that she was mixed up with something bad. Dangerous even" Linda replied, as Chloe spoke.
"Is that why you bought the gun?"
"No, I bought that after I was fried by a Goddess and demons took my baby. But it is why I started carrying it with me" Linda replied, as Lucifer snorted at the Goddess part, remembering that Yahweh did have a wife in this universe, one that was weaker than him, but still quite powerful.
She was off in another universe she had created for herself after being freed from hell. It was...complicated.
"Okay, Linda, you need to tell us what actually happened last night" Chloe said seriously, as this was becoming more and more serious.
"Okay, so...I was tailing Adriana's car, when suddenly she started driving like a crazy person. I knew something was wrong. So, when she went inside the house...I followed her in, and that's when I saw the body" Linda explained, as Chloe glanced at Samael.
"Did you see anyone else?"
Linda hearing this question shook her head.
"Okay, Linda, um, I hate to say it, but it looks like-" "Yeah I know what it looks like. That's why I turned myself in. I know Adriana didn't do this, she couldn't have"
"Why not?" Chloe asked.
"Because...because" Linda replied simply, wanting to believe that her daughter didn't kill anyone. She didn't seem like a bad person, as she was a simple realtor, and from the single time she had personally interacted with her, she believed that she woudln't do this.
"So I'm buying her time to get away while the cops find the actual killer" Linda said.
"Sounds like someone is in denial" Samael muttered, as Lucifer shook her head.
"No, it sounds like a mother who cares very deeply for her child, and wants nothing more than for her to be safe" Lucifer said, as Linda gave her a grateful look, while Chloe just sighed.
"Either way, we're going to have to bring her in" Chloe said. As it looked pretty bad for Adriana no matter what, and legally they couldn't just let her roam free just because Linda was their friend, as that just wasn't how it worked, morally and legally.
"Well then, I hope she is far away from here by now" Linda said, only to stop when she looked behind Chloe and Samael, eyes widening in shock.
"She's here" Linda said, noticing her daughter in the back, seemingly talking to another officer.
Seeing her there, Linda slipped underneath the desk that they were all sitting in, the other three looking at her with confusion as she did so.
"Any reason why you're going under there, Linda?" Lucifer asked as Linda nodded.
"She doesn't know about me, and she can't find out, not like this"
"How would she even know who you are?" Lucifer asked as Linda replied.
"I met her once at an open house. It's a long story, just promise me you won't tell her" Linda practically begged, as the three of them looked at one another before sighing.
"They won't tell her Linda, I'm sure of it" Lucifer said, giving them both a look of warning, one that meant pain if they didn't hide it. The two of them nodded rapidly at that.
"Thank you, Lucifer" Linda said, as the two got up and walked off, watching as her daughter was taken into questioning.
"She'll be alright, Linda. I know she didn't do this" Lucifer said to the worried woman, who looked up at her.
"You're sure?"
"I'm certain. You just need to figure it all out on your own. Trust me, it'll be for the better that you do. Both for you and your daughter" Lucifer replied with a soft smile, knowing that the end product of all of this would be her officially meeting with her daughter, and telling her the truth of who she is. Something that Linda deserved just as much as her daughter did, and she didn't want to ruin that outcome by interfering.
"You're good at this, you know. You could be a therapist" Linda said as Lucifer chuckled.
"I was a therapist in many of my lives, Linda. In one of my lives, I was considered the "Father" of it all. I'm connected to it closely, which means I know just how incredible you are in regards to helping others" Lucifer said genuinely, as she could sense the amount of good the woman has done over the years, and it was an incredible amount.
Sure, she had her dark side, but she had saved thousands of lives thanks to her therapy, both directly and indirectly. And it was because of Linda that Samael was becoming the man he was, and that alone was an accomplishment unlike any other.
"Oh...I forgot about that" Linda said in embarrassment, as Lucifer just chuckled.
"Yes well, I didn't expect you to know" Lucifer replied, before watching as Adriana was taken to the room for interrogation. Upon seeing this, Lucifer looked to Linda, before speaking.
"Now...why don't we go and see what your daughter has to say?"

That's the end of the chapter!
Basically a chapter of more interaction with Linda, and some of this "Episode".
