Linda Martin

Uncle Edwin†

*"It's not like I didn't know I was dealing with the most powerful, well...the most dysfunctional family in the universe. Lucifer. I walked into this with my eyes wide open, chose to be your friend, and face all that comes with that. The good, the bad, and the crispy."*

**-Linda to Lucifer**

Linda Martin is a therapist living in Los Angeles. Lucifer Morningstar, the former ruler of Hell, goes to see her as his therapist, previously in exchange for sex, until she was reminded of the ethics of her job.

## History

Linda attended medical school before becoming a therapist. This likely means that she is a psychiatrist, a medical doctor who has completed a residency in psychiatric medicine. To pay for med school, she worked as a phone sex operator, later calling it "1-800-ProfessorFeelGood".

She was married to Reese Getty but had been separated from him for approximately two years when she met Lucifer. The pair finalized their divorce sometime after Reese approached her after seeing Lucifer's devil face. Linda was the therapist of Delilah. She told Lucifer and Chloe about Delilah's relationship with a famous celebrity in exchange for sex with Lucifer.

She suggests that a person could be the reason for his change of character, Maze told Amenadiel about Lucifer confiding in Linda, and the latter starts to get close to her in order to find a way to convince Lucifer to go back to Hell. Linda joins Chloe, Maze, and Ella for a girls night where they sing karaoke and get into a bar fight over a case Chloe is working. Linda pressures Lucifer to tell her the truth and to drop the Biblical metaphors. He decides to show her his true appearance, revealing himself as the actual Devil. The episode ends with Linda in shock, frozen in place, while a dejected Lucifer leaves her office. Linda pesters Lucifer with questions about Hell as he remarks on her new change in behavior. Linda states she can't believe the devil is her patient and that Maze told her to be open-minded.

## Relationships

### **Reese Getty**

At some point, Linda met reporter Reese Getty. She said that one of the reasons she fell in love with him is because he never gave up. They married but later their relationship deteriorated, and she asked for a divorce. While Reese believes it was because he was a bad husband and put his work first, Linda says she "wasn't perfect either" and "neither one of us could be what the other one needed." She was patient with Reese and waited for two years for him to sign the divorce papers. When they met again, he tried to prove to her Lucifer was the devil but she already knew and tried to make amends with him but he left out betrayed, to her dismay. After he was killed, Linda organized his memorial service.
