Either Lucifer was "Disk 1 Final Boss" to clear the path for Mr. Ketch as the villain, or the whole Lucifer thing was leading up to the Nephilim to be the villain.

But he can still send visions from the cage since it was cracked by Amara. And he'll appear as Mark Pellegrino in the visions, coz of course it'd do no good trying to trick Sam since this time he'll know the visions are from him.

If he is still un-imprisoned, however, I still think he'll not die. Redemption or revival are highly unlikely coz he's an archangel and they played with his redemption but it didn't last
