Chloe Does Lucifer- Overall... I really enjoy this episode. And I like the case, including how well it relates to Lucifer's latest dilemma upon it being revealed to him that his life has become boring and predictable by Amenadiel, as Lucifer then does whatever he can to prove otherwise to all of those around him, particularly to himself. Two of my favorite scenes takes place in the very beginning of this episode. First... when Lucifer is seen lying down on the floor in a firelit room sounding like he's talking seductively to whoever he's with, only for us to see seconds later that he's about to play Monopoly with Chloe and Trixie on a game night. It's adorable seeing him talking with Trixie as they're picking out their game pieces and seeing Lucifer choose the thimble thinking it's a shot glass, only for Chloe to correct him by telling him it's actually a thimble. He then attempts to choose the top hat until Trixie asks him for something in exchange for the piece instead. And it isn't until the next scene that it's revealed exactly what she wanted from him instead of the Monopoly money, or even real money like we are meant to believe he had given to her instead. I love how Chloe then mocks him and states that Trixie had slammed him. So cute!! Also... I love how Lucifer relates himself to the game pieces as he thinks he deserves the top hat over the shoe that Trixie suggests he take instead, as he adamantly objects because he doesn't see himself as a shoe, which becomes a big theme throughout this entire episode because he thinks that being a shoe is boring. Just like he sees the poor woman who has been killed until the very end, upon recognizing that the top hats are all nothing but phonies. In the next scene that is also another of my favorites in this episode, Lucifer is seen returning home from his game night, then is surprised to find his brother there once Amenadiel slams a book closed to alert him to his presence. I love how Amenadiel mocks Lucifer for enjoying spending time with Chloe and Trixie, and how he recognizes that Lucifer has allowed himself to become boring, after which Lucifer then actively seeks out to prove otherwise upon falling into disbelief that his brother may very well be right. I also love how it's revealed that Trixie's bargain with Lucifer leads to him having to allow her to paint a unicorn on his left cheek in exchange for the game piece, and it's hilarious when Amenadiel teases him about it and him actually enjoying a quiet evening with two people he cares about, rather than spending a rowdy night with all the women and men Lucifer typically invites to his parties at LUX, or with his sexual companions. So funny! :) Also... this scene also announces that Linda is off dealing with her ex husband's funeral arrangements after the events shown within the previous episode... Off the Record, which gives us an idea of the timeline between these two episodes. I really enjoy each of the scenes between Linda and Amenadiel once he leaves LUX to seek her out so he can try to offer her his condolences and help with anything she might need. Amenadiel is very good to her and offers really good advice to her, which by the end helps Linda to be able to feel less guilt over he ex husband's death and to realize she isn't to blame for what happened between them. These scenes also allow for Linda and Amenadiel to become closer than they've ever been, as it appears that a spark has come between them. However, I will admit, that after this moment is shown, I'm not too impressed with the idea that a relationship might develop between these two, especially after Amenadiel's twisted and failed relationship with Maze back in season one. Maze is someone else I just don't like the idea of him getting together with either. I love each of these characters, but in all honesty, I wouldn't pair Amenadiel with either of these characters because to me... I don't see any of them as anything more than just friends. Anything more would just be weird. I would prefer the creators and writers of this show to introduce us a new character if they were to ever put Amenadiel into a relationship with someone. And the same goes for Linda and Maze as well. I love how Lucifer goes out of his way to try to prove mostly to himself that he isn't a shoe and that his life hasn't become boring, given that he still loves to have fun times like he's always done, as he sees a number of the suspects in their case as people like him. People who are anything but boring, only to become disappointed when it's revealed they are all frauds, including the face of the company who created a dating app, which the killer has stolen from its true creator upon killing her for it. Chloe's attempts to try to be Lucifer in order to catch their initial suspect are hilarious, and I love the moments Lucifer tries to help her channel her inner Devil so that she can go undercover to draw out their killer, only for her to realize it's better to just be herself and trust her own instincts. I especially love the scene between Lucifer and Chloe when he's trying to teach her how to be him through help from Trixie's Barbie dolls, and seeing Lucifer channel his inner Chloe through roleplay. So funny. But in all of this, I really appreciate seeing Lucifer become concerned for Chloe and be protective of her as well. I really enjoy the end of this case upon Lucifer and Chloe both winding up at the killer's place for two different reasons, only for them both to come to an understanding between one another that the face of the app is really the killer. And I love how they both work together to find the murder weapon used, only to come face to face with the killer when he points a gun at them upon figuring out they are there to arrest him for murder. What a self absorbed phony. And total waste of the perfect pun. :) It's hilarious how easily Lucifer is able to trick this idiot into allowing himself to be apprehended by Chloe, as he picks up the bust of the killer' s head upon threatening to smash it as he throws it to the guy, who stupidly chooses to save it instead of keeping hold of his gun he had trained on them to protect himself. But then... the killer is certainly full of himself, and that doesn't make him or people like him all too smart. :) Most of all... I really love how Lucifer comes to understand that a person he might perceive as a shoe isn't always so boring like he initially believed throughout most of this episode, upon discovering that everyone trying to be top hats aren't always so glamorous like they make themselves out to be. And I love how Lucifer comes to feel that being a shoe isn't so bad after all, and how the end scene with him at his piano within his penthouse reveals that he's taken the shoe game piece from the Monopoly game as a new cherished keepsake, because whether he really admits it to himself or not, Lucifer has grown quite a bit and has come to appreciate the more quiet nights in and not having to always be the exciting Devil most people he's always surrounded himself with expect him to be. That it is okay for him to be a shoe at times as well. It's also really adorable when Lucifer attempts to convince his latest conquest to play a game of Monopoly with him, or to play with face paint instead of his usual activities with women. It doesn't happen, but it shows that he really has come around to appreciating the so called boring times in his life as well as his typical excitement. Earlier in the episode, their suspect from the bar where Chloe seeks him out in an effort to catch their killer, their suspect makes a point of saying that he appreciated being with Kim (the woman killed) because she made him feel that he didn't have to be who everyone else expected him to be. To be himself. And while Lucifer doesn't look at Chloe in this moment, I do believe he recognizes for a brief moment that this is what she does for him as well, even though Lucifer then shakes it off and they just continue on with their investigation like he hasn't learned anything. I don't think Lucifer really understands exactly why the suspect's words made such an impact on him in this moment, at least not that he could really admit to himself, but you can tell that he does understand his words enough for him to be able to recognize that Chloe does this for him as well. That she allows him to be more himself and helps him to be okay with being such. A subtle moment within this episode, and yet I absolutely love it! As for the scenes between Ella and Charlotte... I really love how Charlotte comes to Ella seeking her help in her efforts to become a good person. Ella really is the perfect person to ask for help, given how sweet and good she really is. And I love the awkwardness between them, as well as Dan's awkwardness around Charlotte as well. Thankfully, in the end, Charlotte comes to make good progress upon understanding the importance of being sincere in her efforts to be good, and not through faking it. Plus... Charlotte announces she's taking on a new job to help the police with putting the bad guys away, so that she won't ever have to defend criminals or help them get away with murder ever again. Bravo to Charlotte!! And lastly... another of my favorite scenes is when Lucifer comes to meet with Linda again once their case is over, as Lucifer talks about what he's come to learn about himself from the case, and then how he kindly asks Linda how she's doing after she took some time to deal with her ex husband's affairs. I really appreciate how selfless Lucifer is upon recognizing when those he cares about are struggling with their own struggles, showing how much he's grown since halfway into season two. I also really love the quote Linda speaks from Oscar Wilde... "We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars", and then how Lucifer states that he never would have fed Oscar this line had he known how irritated he would be upon hearing people constantly quoting it back to him, indicating that Lucifer once had a relationship, or at least a fling and possible friendship with the man. I love how Linda becomes intrigued to hear more about Oscar Wilde, and seeing Lucifer become eager to talk to her about his experience with the man. Overall... this is a fun episode, so thank you once again for your reaction, my friend!! Until next time...
