God’s Favorite Idiot Season 1 Ending Explained

God’s Favorite Idiot Season 1 Ending Explained

Since the series was planned as two eight-part batches, the end of the 1st part left a big cliffhanger. But what happened at the end of God’s Favorite Idiot Season 1?

The war with Lucifer wasn’t over yet. Lucifer’s forces have won some important battles, but they have yet to win the war completely. God’s conversation with Clark showed that Lucifer has the upper hand, and although she wants to fully focus on fighting this threat, it might not be enough in the end. At the end of Part 1, however, it looked like Lucifer’s dominance might be weakening.

Satan seemed to be a threat to Lucifer’s power.

Satan, on the other hand, seemed to be a threat to Lucifer’s power, as she probably wanted the throne for herself, while Tom the Baptist was still recruiting more disciples. Satan also spared Wendy, Gene and Mohsin after Wendy convinced her that she was too powerful to spend the final battle killing people on earth. Instead of killing the humans, Satan returned to heaven after admitting she deserved to be in charge.

Meanwhile, Clark and Amily finally fled the town. Their attempt to spread God’s message had been met with much hatred, and God then ordered them to leave the town to be safe. Clark was told his next destination by God, and Episode 8 showed Clark and Amily leaving together. Fortunately, Amily confessed to Clark at the end of the season that she loves him too. Even though we don’t know where the duo is going, it’s clear that they’ve a mission and God has hinted that Clark will know what to do when it’s time for him to find out.
