We're skipping the trouble here (I am SO EXCITED to skip this trouble!), so this one should be a bit quicker. Basically:

1. Octavia wakes up the boys with a nightmare and they are cuddly and supportive and maybe also awkward because Haven sucks for EVERYONE

2. Jennifer heard Audrey hear that she needs to go through a door or she'll die. Duke agrees to help her try to hear more from the Barn while Nathan helps Dwight deal with a missing kids trouble (so, basically, we set up the structure of the ep here)

3. Duke, Octavia, and Lucifer all try their own methods to help Jennifer relax so she can hear what's going on in the Barn properly. Duke tries yoga/meditation. The other two are welcome to try their own methods. Canonically, it's playing quarters for beer that works, which I figure Lucifer will roll his eyes at the low-brow nature of but otherwise approve?

4. Jennifer hears that they need to find a door in Haven that they'll have to open at the same time as Audrey opens her door in the Barn, or she's screwed. She also hears fog horns. Nathan tries to butt in via phone and Duke is all "YOU ARE THE OPPOSITE OF CHILL GO AWAY". They work out that the fog horn that Jennifer is hearing must be coming into the Barn through the door in Haven, so they can triangulate the door's location from that.

5. SHOW DOWN ON THE BIG EMPTY HILL! Jennifer found the door, but no one else can see it (unless maybe Lucifer can?) until Audrey opens here door. And Jennifer can't open it. Jordan and the Guard show, and then Vince and Dave, and there's lots of yelling as Dave claims that they can't open the door without letting out a great evil (I'm SURE Luce and Octavia will have Opinions on this!). Nathan opens the door anyway, and they can see Audrey in her door past the Void fog and Audrey jumps -- AND BOOM. Splosions.

6. 'Splosion knows them all over (except maybe Lucifer? Though he would then probably see William coming through too? Unless he's blinded and/or distracted trying to rouse Duke and Octavia. . . .), and when they come to, the door is gone, but there is an Audrey shaped person in their midst! Yay! Nathan immediately hands her a gun and tells her to kill him, because Nathan's gonna Nathan, and Audrey goes "wtf, I'm not going to kill a complete stranger, who tf are you people?" DUN DUN DUN.

Ep out.

Nathan needed to stop ignoring their snark. The snark was the only reason Lucifer was managing to slap on this chipper face in the first place.

"Well, the faster our elven friend here can tune in, the faster we'll know how and where," he said, "And the faster we can get out of here." He clapped his hand. "So let's get a move on, shall we? Or, well. You."

He looked at Jennifer.

Jennifer's shoulders were creeping up around her ears. "I'm not hearing anything here, okay?"

"Listen harder --" Nathan started. Duke put himself between him and Jennifer.

"Back off, okay?" He shot a glance at Lucifer. "Both of you."

"It's not like there's a switch in her head for this," Octavia agreed, dry and mild.

And maybe an inch or so closer to Jennifer than she had been before, but you couldn't prove anything.

Lucifer let out an irritated breath through his nose, but he fell silent.

What? It wasn't like he had a magical switch for this either.

"Sorry," Jennifer said. "She's right. And I'm not good with pressure."

"You're doing great," Duke assured her. "Just keep trying."

As he spoke, Nathan pulled his phone out, bringing it to his ear and stepping away to talk.

"Right," Jennifer muttered. "Trying to listen to a magical barn. Wheee."

Octavia eyed Nathan as he stepped away, then looked at Jennifer again.

"Just try to relax, I guess," she said. The dry tone was her main mode right now, but also served to acknowledge that this was not a relaxing situation by any stretch of the imagination.

Lucifer reached into the inside pocket of his jacket to pull out-- "Whiskey?" he offered Jennifer.

Jennifer wrinkled her nose a little and shook her head. "Ew."

She was not a straight liquor kind of person.

"That was Dwight," Nathan said, hanging up the phone. "A second kid's gone missing, another 4-year-old." He sighed, visibly frustrated. "But Audrey could walk out here at any second!"

Duke made a face and held up his hands again. "Look. Usually when Jennifer hears Audrey, she's been relaxed. Now, getting her to relax is something that you suck at." He spread his hands. "But what don't you suck at?"

"He needs to go do his job."

Yes, Tavi, that was what Duke had been getting at.

"They're telling you to fuck off," Lucifer retranslated, helpfully.

Nathan frowned hard at him. Duke shrugged.

"Basically. So you go find the kids. We will get her to calm down. We will find Audrey, and we'll all live happ —" He broke off and cough. "— You know what I mean."

Good save, Duke.

Octavia was already back to watching Jennifer out of the corner of her eye, and wondering how anyone was supposed to calm down with all this pressure. Even without Nathan here.

Lucifer looked from one to the other to yet the other. "Right," he said. "I'll go plunder the Gull's liquor storage, then, shall I?"

Duke looked at Jennifer, who now had her eyes squinched shut, her nose wrinkling, as she clearly tried very hard to listen to something that wasn't there.

"Yeah. Can't hurt."
