Helena Dax May 8, 2019 Share May 8, 2019 Oh, I'm glad the story with the priest finished quickly and Chloe stopped lying to Luci. Amenadiel was hilarious, lol The Catholic Chruch in the USA has to be pretty different from the CC in my country, because no way they wouldn't cover for the killer priest here. I've never liked Ella and I'm not enjoying her religious crisis: on a show about angels and demons, atheism can't go anywhere. 2 Link to comment

What country are you in? Maybe you mean that the Catholic Church wouldn't cover for a killer priest now? Because they've absolutely covered for abusive and murderous members of the clergy in many countries. The Sisters of Mercy let a ton of kids die. 3 Link to comment

Sakura12 May 9, 2019 Share May 9, 2019 Still wish they brought in Lilith instead of Eve. While Maze being the devil on Dan's shoulder should be interesting. I would've liked seeing her family issues too. Luci and Chloe being in another triangle is not interesting after we just had one. Lilith being Maze's mother could've even tied into the Linda pregnancy storyline. Chloe dealing or not dealing with Lucifer is it's own storyline without adding another love interest. They had such a good first episode. I hope they don't fall back into what made almost give up on the show last season. 4 Link to comment

thuganomics85 May 10, 2019 Share May 10, 2019 Heh, even though they don't say her name, having Eve ordering an appletini is about as on the nose as they could get! Still, I'm looking forward towards more Inbar Lavi here. They certainly aren't wasting time at least, with everything pretty much being out in the open, now. Even though it ends with Lucifer not trusting Chloe, because she only revealed things after Father Kinley already spilled the beans to him (granted, he twisted it in a way to make himself look more innocent.) I guess they'll still be partners going forward, but this is clearly going to be a major issue for them. Dan is now letting loose and kicking ass with Maze. Fun, but I have a feeling Dan is going to spiral unless he really addresses his feelings. Amenadiel trying to be supportive to Linda was great. 5 Link to comment

tennisgurl May 12, 2019 Share May 12, 2019 I guess Wallmart doesn't carry a "sorry I tried to send you to Hell" card. Chloe did come around to realizing that Lucifer probably isnt evil incarnate, and they will probably keep solving cases together, but its going to take a hot minute for him trust her again. I cracked up that the priest specifically created a case to perfectly mirror Lucifer's issues because Chloe told him that he "makes the cases all about himself" because, yeah that is totally true. I mean, the show does it so much that I didnt even realize that this was super on the nose, even by this shows standards, and that it was a set up. Dan and Maze teaming up was fun, but I think this could lead Dan down a really dark path, he is clearly not dealing with Charlotte's death at all, and is lashing out all over the place. Amenadiel was so adorable with his enthusiasm for the baby, even though Linda is clearly freaking out. Even beyond Amenadiel being the baby's father and Linda's ex as well as her friend, she is certainly going to want him around because, well, we dont really know what this kids deal is yet. Have angels ever had kids with humans in this universe? Will the baby have powers? Linda might want some cosmic babysitting if her kid comes out with glowing eyes or angel wings or something! 2 Link to comment

Rambler May 13, 2019 Share May 13, 2019 It's kinda dumb that Father Bad Guy's plan depended entirely on Dan and Maze being able to fight through more than a dozen gang members in order to make the boss spill the beans on who the killer was. And why did the killer commit suicide if he was so devout and suicide is such a big sin in the Catholic Church. Was it just so Ella could make her shish kabob quip? Because if it is, I got a good chuckle out of it, so all is forgiven. 1 1 Link to comment
Gummo May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 Regarding the scene where Chloe finally breaks down and admits to Lucifer, "I'm TERRIFIED!" -- I'm not going to listen to anyone slag off Lauren German's acting ever again. That was amazing, and it's about time someone of the mortals in Luci's inner circle besides Linda had an appropriately freaked out reaction to the truth. And how do you as an actor convey a character's entire universe being upended, shattered and blown to pieces? It was an impossible moment and she conveyed it brilliantly. Kudos, Ms. German, I knew you had it in you. 17 Link to comment
Emma9 May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 (edited) Chloe trying to keep Lucifer from drinking anything really highlights how pointless it was to enlist her in the first place. Lucifer owns a club constantly packed with anonymous people where he swans about drinking on a regular basis, and if they've researched him they'd know that, but Chloe is the only person they've ever thought to have drug him?

I thought it was poison. Anyway, Chloe called Father Kinley out on that when she told him she wouldn’t help. She accused him of using her specifically because they knew she makes Lucifer vulnerable to the poison/drug. It couldn’t have been anyone else. 4 Link to comment
sinkwriter May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 (edited) I thought the priest said that the stuff in the vial was some sort of hardcore sedative (or as Chloe called it, a "roofie"). It was intended to knock out Lucifer, and then the priest would do the next part of the plan, whatever that was meant to be. Exorcism, I think he told Chloe, to send Lucifer back to Hell. Though I wonder if he had more in mind, especially because he said what he would do would send Lucifer back there permanently. Quote It was an impossible moment and she conveyed it brilliantly. I agree, and I'm glad for the moment between them. I'm glad there's someone in the main cast of characters who isn't taking it so smoothly. (I mean, obviously it took Linda some time, but she did recover and I don't think she holds Lucifer's devil face against him like Chloe is. She's not afraid of him anymore, not like Chloe is.) I thought maybe they'd show Chloe slowly descending into insanity, but instead they're going with another believable reaction - terror. And I like that she's at war with those emotions, because after all their history together she does feel like he is a good person... she just wishes he didn't have that side that scares her so much. Which is pretty fascinating. I feel bad for Lucifer, though. Dan's the one that scares me a little. He's out of control, and I get the sense that if he were to find out about Lucifer right now, Dan would have no qualms about sending him right back to Hell. Whatever it took. He's heading down a very dark path. Edited May 22, 2019 by sinkwriter 5 Link to comment
BabySpinach May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 I found it refreshing that, perhaps for the first time in the show, Chloe was allowed to actually be wrong and to face fallout for it. Her motives and reasoning didn't come out of nowhere, but her actions were still a serious blow to their relationship. After everything they'd been through together, after the multiple times Lucifer had risked/sacrificed his life and family for her (some of which she does know about), her pushing all that history aside to only focus on him being the Devil was deserving of consequences, especially following her multiple proclamations of love and forgiveness of all aspects of him. Words like that aren't cheap, and when they were actually put to the test, Chloe did fail to follow through. The whole "Lucifer is a spazzy, tunnel-visioned goober always trailing after eternally forgiving and patient Saint Chloe who deigns to tolerate him" had worn VERRRYYY thin by season 3. It'd both diminished Lucifer as a character and placed Chloe on an unwarranted pedestal. This was a welcome shake-up to their dynamic. She got to come back down to earth and Lucifer got to be rightfully angry with her for once and demonstrate some dignity and self-respect in the process. 4 Link to comment
xander874 May 23, 2019 Share May 23, 2019 If that vial had a sedative so strong it would kill a man, then wouldn't Lucifer die if he drank it near the Detective (I love that he has that as her name in his phone)? I also thought when Brody mentioned that Susan had a clean drug test, that would come back. I was hoping Lucifer would've told murder guy since he made a point of saying she was still on drugs. I assume he was lied to by Father Evil but I wanted him to realize he killed totally innocent people. 1 Link to comment

Because Lucifer did tell them he was up to no good, and Dan was in on bringing Pierce down. I think it's fair that there's at least one character who is just sick of Lucifer's act. Link to comment
StarBrand August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 I was impressed with Chloe revealing that the reason she even thought about working with the priest to send him back to Hell, was because it's terrifying for her to know she's actually dealing with the actual devil. So she's far from being OK with him, even after refusing to work with the priest against him.Lucifer proved his point when he asked Chloe if she could look at him with his devil face, and she could barely do so. 3 Link to comment
