** Losing someone is painful even if you know they're still out there. Even if they thought Dan was in Heaven, it's still upsetting that he's not THERE. Besides, as Lucifer is shocked to find out, Dan didn't make it to Heaven but got stuck in Hell due to his inability to forgive himself. Even though Lucifer manages to arrange it so that Dan isn't being tortured and instead plays ping-pong with the demons, the situation still sucks majorly for everyone involved.

** They know that Dan, due to his inability to forgive himself, is stuck in Hell. Even though Lucifer has arranged it so that Dan isn't being tortured and instead plays ping-pong with the demons, it's still not a happy thought that someone they loved is stuck in Hell.

* God claims that his job of being God left him no time for his family. How is that possible? God is a nigh-omnipotant, nigh-omnipresent entity who can control the flow of him. He can create realms where the flow of time in one is much faster than in another. As God he hardly did anyting except a vague presence people felt. Both Lucifer and Amendiael had no problem with the idea they could balance their celestials duties along with family obligations. So why couldn't God? What kept him so busy? Why couldn't he pop on Earth to check on things and focus on heaven?

* This happens... rather a lot, but it's particularly egregious in Season 6, episode 10, when [[spoiler:Rory is kidnapped to bait Lucifer.]] Lucifer wants to go alone. It makes sense that he doesn't want Chloe to come with him, that's fairly reasonable thinking from someone in love. But why would they go without any other backup? At the bare minimum, they should have brought Amenadiel, who, most notably, would have been able to [[spoiler:fly Chloe to a hospital after she is stabbed, while Lucifer goes on to rescue Rory]]. Additionally, while it makes sense for them to not call Maze and Eve, them being on their honeymoon, and them not wanting to interrupt that, I ''kinda think [[spoiler:"my daughter has been kidnapped to bait me into a deathtrap"]] is a big enough deal to justify asking them to come back!''
Alright. So they thought they were going after one man. But they knew 1- [[spoiler:Le Mac was aware of Rory's connection to Lucifer]] and 2- the location that Lucifer [[spoiler:Le Mac knew the location Lucifer is supposed to die at]]. Therefore, it's quite reasonable for them to realize that [[spoiler:Le Mac was aware of what was happening while Dan was possessing him]], and so maybe they should not roll in all by themselves, and it would be prudent to bring in as many big guns as they have. Even barring them realizing these things, when they got to the location, and found that [[spoiler:Le Mac had men, and they were carrying daggers made from Rory's feathers]], they should have immediately called Amenadiel, who has been shown to be able to fly, at least, to a vaguely nearby location ''very fast,'' when Lucifer was pranking Dan in Season 5. And even if they didn't want to pull Maze and Eve away from their honeymoon, a quick call to say "[[spoiler:Rory's in trouble]], and we need backup to save her, who do you trust to roll with us?" would be reasonable. And honestly, there are probably still demons kicking around from Maze and Eve's wedding who could have at least been no-guilt bodies in the way of blades and bullets!

** To be fair to Ella, while he did not technically lie, he didn't exactly actually push back on the idea of him being a method actor besides the occasional "I'm not an actor" comment either, which is '''exactly''' something an insanely method actor would say. There's also the fact that she was scared everyone else knew and was keeping her out of the loop to make fun of her (which, given Ella's trust issues after Pete, makes total sense) and watching her bounce up and down with her faith after Charlotte's death when they knew for a fact she was in Heaven.

* As he rightly points out, he never once lied to her. He always told her the truth about who he was. '''She's''' the one who thought he was an actor. Even when he flat out told her he wasn't and tried to include her when everyone else on Team Lucifer knew. She still insisted he was acting. Why, when she finally figured it out, was she so mad at him about it then? I get everyone else, because they DID lie to her about it. But Lucifer never once tried to hide the fact he was the Devil from her.

This does kind of support the "Trixie has always known" hypothesis but it just bothers me that it's not addressed. It's like the writers stuck in a token scene for her with Rory then completely forgot she existed.

Why did God not hold Michael accountable for his actions especially when what he did was just as bad if not worse than Lucifer? Even when confronted about it he blew them off? Was it really the whole "free will" bit? God blamed himself? Or by that point did God just not care?

I mean yeah, Lucifer is mad that his dad threw him out of Heaven and banished him to Hell. Fine. But he did rebel and try to overthrow his father and tried to burn down the Silver City. What did he think was going to happen after all of that failed? A slap on the wrist? That would be like you adult son was living with you and then one day decided that HE was the head of the household. Of course you're not going to continue to let him live in your house after something like that.
