I MAY KNOW WHO ALASTOR HAS A DEAL WITH. AND ITS NOT LILITH
(Theory below the cut)
SO: there is a character we BRIEFLY seen in the pilot/ep. 1 who is a big part of the lore. The name is "Roo", short for Root of All Evil.
And, the person/entity in the base form looks like a wide-smiling woman, and a tree... Right? So keep following me...
So. Lucifer gives Lilith the apple. And creates Free Will, shame, etc. Ask irl Bible thumpers. THEN: Lucifer gives the apple to Eve... and creates the first "evil" thing...
When Eve gets the apple in the episode, whether intentional or NOT:
SHES A FUCKING SIMPLE, WIDE MOUTHED FEMALE SILLOUETTE. WHO TOOK AN APPLE FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
THEREFORE: EVE IS ROO.
Now, continue: we have Alastor. Who has been raising Hell in Hell. Making a name. He wants to get further up the ranks. Decides to bark up the wrong tree. A tree that looks SUSPICIOUSLY similar to Mrs. Devil Herself...
Instead of getting in favor with Lilith... he wins the favor of Roo, who looks SUSPICIOUSLY like Lily.
Alastor crosses Roo. Roo somehow traps him, or even, MAKES HIM ACCEPT A DEAL FOR HIS SOUL. And, THIS is the reason for his absence. His presence wasn't needed, and Roo wanted to save a precious pawn/puppet. Plus, Lilith suddenly disappeared. Perfect timing for Roo to make some moves in hell. She's setting herself up, breaking down/in pawns like Alastor to do her bidding. (You gotta admit that wide smile is HARD to break... much like fucking ROO'S).
Come to present day... Morningstar's daughter is planning an uprising. Just like Momma Lily. And Roo sees this as her CHANCE. She sends Alastor, as a fake out. Most people would assume that if he IS on a leash, it's Liliths (only people like Husk would know). But it's NOT. And Al is probably there to just invoke more chaos/Calamity, or: to take down the Morningstars so ROO can usurp the throne.
...but again. Just a theory. A GAME theory

I love that Rosie knows LGBT+ sexualities, but Alastor is too "old-skool" to probably care
Edit: Link to Amir Talai (VA of Alastor) apologizing for calling Al aroace

She can freely touch him
and make comments like that?
The shared hatred for that one particular person?
But also the mutual compliments?
Peak friendship if you ask me. They're truly besties ❤️

The desperation in this guy's eyes.
My boy nearly died (presumably forced to protect Charlie by his deal), and wants to escape and strike back more than anything.
Requested, image description/edit: Alastor having a breakdown from nearly getting killed by Adam, hands grabbing his head, his red eyes darting around and his perpetual smile is extremely strained, baring gum.

Definitely not watching episode 5 again.
Definitely didn't replay the "fuck you" part three times in a row.
Nor the uh. "Power display" part. Nope. Not I.

if there's one thing this last episode has affirmed for me about Alastor it's that he FUCKING HATES being reminded that he's not the most powerful creature in hell.
Like, he hates being ignored by Carmilla when she says she doesn't care why he was gone
He hates Lucifer ON SIGHT
He threatens to KILL Husk when he dares to mention that Alastor is working for someone more powerful than him
and now this.
Alastor freaking out because he almost died. Something almost killed him. He can fucking die. There is something more powerful than him out there. And it's not something he can ignore or brush off because it almost killed him.
Alastor hates the reminder that he's not as powerful as he tells people he is. He isn't indestructible, he isn't invincible. And he fucking hates that.
