So many people like to complain and complain about events and outcomes in this season. It gets old. So many worse things happened in previous seasons that did not get this much backlash.
I'm just going to say, I loved this episode despite the results. Honestly, I would have made 0 sense if Shu won. Where would that take the plot? Another Lucifer? Another rematch? It would get really boring. With this result, at least the plot goes somewhere especially with Lane's internal conflict developing.
In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

Every time I see this, I think of Hikaru and Hyuga
