Sympathy For the Goddess- Thank you for another fun reaction, Morgan! I enjoy this episode. However, I have to admit this episode is probably one of my least favorite episodes of this season, if not throughout the entire show as well. It's still enjoyable, but there are some aspects or storylines throughout this episode that I just don't really care all that much for. However, there are definitely some very funny moments throughout, mostly in the beginning. Especially when Lucifer is trying to help his Mum with Chloe when she is trying to convince Chloe to come with her to help her client, whom they soon find to be dead. And then the last five to ten minutes showing the final two scenes are amazing, and they are easily the two best scenes throughout this episode. First... What happens in the end between Charlotte and the rapper kid is so mind blowing and completely unexpected. And I love it! I was shocked when the kid suddenly stabs her in order to keep her from talking and for putting him in prison, and even more shocked when Charlotte's Goddess powers suddenly bursts out of her wound and burns his body. What a rush! And second... My absolute favorite scene throughout this entire episode is the ending between Lucifer and Amenadiel, when Amenadiel is working on the translations from the book, while Lucifer is waiting by playing the piano. Although, I do have to say that I'm really kind of sick and tired of Amenadiel constantly being angry with Lucifer, and jealous of him since season one for him supposedly being their father's favorite son like all writings about Lucifer supposedly claim him to be, and like Amenadiel believes him to be. Lucifer certainly doesn't believe himself to be the favorite son because he's never felt like he's so upon feeling unloved by everyone in his family and cast out by his father. And he certainly never asked to be God's favorite son if he really is. It's not his fault. So, I'm sick of Amenadiel's attitude towards his brother for it. It's gotten a bit old. I understand Amenadiel feeling less than his brother, and feeling neglected by Lucifer and their mother. But they aren't doing it to be hurtful. So, I appreciate that Lucifer defends himself and honestly says he doesn't know of any key entrusted to him by their father. Now, with this being said... This scene is still my favorite within this episode. I love Lucifer's sarcasm and frustration towards Amenadiel when they're trying to work out the translation once Amenadiel interprets the passage from the book. Also... I like the speculation Amenadiel makes when he talks about the key possibly being Lucifer's ring, which he's worn since his fall and possibly beforehand. The ring isn't the key, but I really wish it is revealed what this ring means to Lucifer. Maybe in time. It must be pretty important to him since he is never seen without it on his finger. And then... it's finally revealed that the key has all along been the pendant worn around Amenadiel's neck, as he's always worn it. This revelation also reveals that if Amenadiel has translated the page from the book correctly, that he is in fact God's favorite son and not Lucifer. Which would make more sense, since Amenadiel is the oldest of all the angels, and because God was able to cast one of his youngest sons out of Heaven and into Hell, then forced him to become a punisher and to be vilified, which is all so wrong. I doubt if Lucifer really were God's favorite son, that He would have been able to do all this to him. I am still shocked that God could do this to His son at all, whether Lucifer is His favorite son or not. Whatever the truth may be... I absolutely love this reveal in the end, their humor, and simply the brothers' interactions with one another. :) And at last... Amenadiel won't be able to keep treating Lucifer so harshly and coldly for the same reason any longer. Now... I can't help but feel that the overall case is pretty boring. One of the most boring cases we see throughout the entire show, in my opinion. However, I like that it starts out with Lucifer and Amenadiel keeping a close eye on their mother, who is working out a deal with a criminal for something hidden within a safe deposit box that will hopefully help them to discover what the key to Azrael's blade is and where it might be, that we later learn to be the book. I love Lucifer's skepticism over his mother's ability to get what they need, while Amenadiel believes she'll be fine... their differences of opinions leading to quite a funny argument, while Charlotte proves Lucifer to be right about being unable to trust her with this. Very funny. Unfortunately... After they find the dealer again once he runs off with Lucifer's money, they find him to be dead upon him being killed by someone who is revealed to be the killer right away, which I actually really like. Because normally these characters take the whole episode to investigate who their killer is, while in this episode, they work out how they can convict the killers instead. It's different and I really like it. I also love all of the humor this storyline brings about between Lucifer, Charlotte, and Chloe, upon Charlotte insisting she be a part of their investigation, which makes both Lucifer and Chloe incredibly uncomfortable. Hilarious!!! However, this is where the case becomes boring for me. Nonetheless... Their investigation also leads to Charlotte being forced to finally admit to Chloe what her relationship to Lucifer is, as she reveals to Chloe that she is his father's ex, which is technically true. I love how carefully worded both hers and Lucifer's stories about who they really are to one another, whether the story seems plausible or not. Given who and what they are, and the fact that they can't make the detectives understand the full truth even if they were to tell them... this is the story that is closest to the truth. And I love that Chloe finally knows the so called truth and for a certainty that Lucifer never has slept with Charlotte like she's always believed him to have done in spite of him always being honest with her. I just really like this scene between Lucifer and Chloe a lot, because Chloe finally understands a little bit of Lucifer's bizarre relationship with Charlotte, and why he is always is uncomfortable around her whenever they're in public. Should this revelation regarding who Charlotte is to Lucifer been revealed to Chloe and Dan sooner? Yes. But at least it is finally revealed at last before the end of this season. Also... I enjoy the scene between Amenadiel and Dan as well. They have a fun friendship that only continues to grow. And while Dan claims to like Amenadiel way more than he likes Lucifer, I do believe Dan has grown to care about Lucifer more as a friend too. I just don't think he's willing to admit so. Because their friendship is simply a friendship neither one of them stubbornly care to admit out loud to anyone. Now as for the aspects and storylines throughout this episode that I don't really care all that much for... While I do certainly understand Maze's anger towards Lucifer because he really can be selfish, insensitive, and blind to his friends' feelings, and I love how we actually see that she feels real human emotion like Lucifer does too despite her being a demon... I don't like how Maze treats Lucifer throughout most of the episode. I absolutely understand her feeling hurt by Lucifer's choices to not tell her the truth, and I understand her for being angry with him for not really understanding how he's wronged Linda and her. Especially her being angry with him about not telling her about his plan to return to the Silver City with Amenadiel and their mother. However, I hate that she blames Lucifer one hundred percent for Linda's predicament. He is partially to blame for her getting in trouble with the ethics board, and his charm that causes all the women to become obsessed with him did somewhat lure her to want to sleep with him for a while back in season one. However, even he can't really be fully to blame for her being drawn to him. It's a power he can't exactly control. He doesn't always purposely use his charms on women to get what he wants. And they all still have free will. The choice to sleep with him or not. And Linda wanted to. She was the one who asked for him to have sex with her in the first place and every time they did since until she finally called it off. As we know... Lucifer believes in free will above all else and he would never force anyone to do anything they wouldn't want to do. Lucifer wasn't ever even attracted to her from the beginning. It was really more Linda than him and she didn't even try to resist his charms until episode eight of season one, when she finally realizes she didn't want to go against her ethics and moral standards any longer. Also... Linda agreed to help Lucifer escape with God Johnson from the mental hospital of her own free will too. He never forced her to help him. She could have said no, which Lucifer would have absolutely come to respect in time. So, this is on her as well. Plus... She used her own name, which was silly of her to do. So... I really wish Maze had understood that and offered Lucifer an apology for being so harsh towards him. But as far as Lucifer being blind towards Maze's feelings... Lucifer really had no idea just how much Maze's time on Earth and being around their friends have really changed her too, just like their time on Earth has changed him. Maze fights even harder to hide her feelings and denies them far more than even Lucifer does, and that's saying a lot. It's like Lucifer said... Anger is Maze's default setting, so it makes sense he wouldn't know how hurt she really is by his plan. And he didn't not tell her out of malice or to hurt her either. He never wants to hurt anyone he cares about, including Maze and Linda. He simply thought that not telling Maze was best for his plan, knowing that Maze might disrupt and/or ruin the plan should she become angry with him, such as she has become. And Maze has betrayed him in the past multiple times, as seen in season one when Maze went behind Lucifer's back and told Amenadiel about Linda so that they both could try to get Lucifer to return to Hell. Lucifer doesn't trust anyone fully, except for Chloe. And he never has, because he's been hurt by so much by his own family and then someone he did trust more because he considers her his closest friend, until Maze screwed up. Lucifer has messed up... yes. But I understand why he has. And he certainly didn't mean to make things worse for Linda with the head of the ethics board, or to hurt Linda either. He cares very deeply for her, and we've seen that he does. He can be an idiot at times, as well as thoughtless, callous, and inconsiderate, but he would never intentionally hurt Linda at all. So, I can be more understanding of his mistakes towards her too. Whenever things go wrong for Maze, or the people she actually cares about, she always blames Lucifer without trying to understand his emotions and feelings too. So, she should try to understand him more as well. She does the same to him. Nonetheless... I certainly appreciate seeing Lucifer come to understand his mistakes in making things worse for Linda and hurting her as well as Maze. And I love that he apologizes to them for hurting them, and seeing the sadness as well as his sincerity on his face. As for Lucifer and Maze fighting one another... There is some humor to their fight and overall, it is okay. However, I don't really care for seeing Lucifer so beat up upon Maze beating on him, even if Lucifer might have let her get multiple punches in on purpose to allow her to take her aggression and anger out on him, just like he allowed for Amenadiel to do back in season one's episode... Wingman, when Amenadiel gets angry with Lucifer for burning his wings. However, I would have preferred it if this fight between Lucifer and Maze was written this same way. Yet with Lucifer being the Devil, immortal, and so much stronger than Maze should be, I really hate seeing him so bloodied and beaten. Especially after seeing his eyes turn red when he unleashes his own anger on her. Plus, back in season one's episode... #TeamLucifer, Lucifer tells Chloe that angels can hurt other angels, so seeing Lucifer and Amenadiel bloodied and beaten then makes sense. Clearly demons can hurt him as well. But to see in this episode that a demon can beat him just as badly as the angels can, just shouldn't be possible. Lucifer is after all, the King of Hell and ruler of all demons. I suspect that demons don't have the capability to kill him or any angels without a demon blade or celestial blade. So, to me... This scene makes no logical sense. Not to me. And while it makes sense that someone from the ethics board would eventually come around to investigate Linda's mistakes at some point... I just feel that this storyline is the weakest part about this episode. It's boring, and there's no conclusion to it, given that we have no idea what Maze said or did to the guy to make him change his mind about firing Linda, which we have to assume she had done. Did she kill him? Torture him, or just scare him to the point of changing his mind like she wants? Ugh... Overall... I do enjoy this episode. I mostly enjoy it for Lucifer's, Amenadiel's, and Charlotte's storylines, I am happy that Maze is so determined to help Linda, and I love, as well as appreciate seeing Lucifer come to his understanding about how he has hurt Linda and Maze too. So... Thank you so much for this reaction once more, Morgan! Like always... I can't wait for more of your amazing reactions for Lucifer!! Sincerely, Heidi
