Supernatural
In the “Sympathy for the Devil” episode of season five, she played Sarah/Lucifer. Nick was married to Sarah. Under Lucifer’s command, the demon Abraxas killed her during a house invasion. In the narrative, Sarah, a mother of a kid born to Nick and a wife, experiences delusions brought on by Lucifer, who had just been set free from his cage. 2009 saw the appearance of Lucifer as Sarah, who attempted to get Nick to confess to his killings on the grounds that God was to blame. Skeptic Nick questioned if Lucifer could bring his deceased family back, to which Lucifer replied that he could not.
When Nick learns in 2018 that Sarah and Teddy’s murders are still unsolved, he decides to exact retribution. Frank Kellogg, a former police officer he seeks down, tells him that on the night Sarah was killed, she had called 911 to report a prowler. Nick uses an angel sword to kill Abraxas in retaliation for killing Sarah and Teddy after realizing that the demon was Frank’s possessor.
Nick initially thinks Sarah is Lucifer when he goes to his old house and is met by her as a ghost. Sarah says that her unresolved business, which includes her and Teddy’s killings, has left her imprisoned on Earth as a ghost. Nick informs Sarah that Frank Kellogg was under the control of Abraxas and that he killed the demon to exact revenge on her. Nick gives in to Nick’s yearning and releases Sarah’s captive spirit inside their home, despite Sarah’s insistence that he reject Lucifer.
