[[AC: Everything's Okay]]
* Just the fact that all of Lucifer's worst fears about [[spoiler: Chloe's reaction to finding out the truth about him are legitimized, except that he is unaware of the worst of it because she is playing her part in Kinley's plan too well for him to know it.]]

[[AC: Somebody's Been Reading Dante's Inferno]]
* The way in which Father Kinley manipulates [[spoiler: Chloe]] is quite unsettling. She's clearly in a fragile emotional state and terrified that everything she's known is a lie, and his entire plan hinges upon preying upon those fears.

[[AC: Orgy Pants to Work]]
* Remiel is intent to retrieve the [[spoiler: celestial child Amenadiel has fathered]] and return it to the Silver City at any cost. The condescending manner in which she talks about humans takes on a decidedly more chilling tone when she [[spoiler: talks about literally cutting the child out of the mother to get to it.]]
* Lucifer decision to restrain his devilish side and leave the perp to the police to deal with backfires horrifically and leads to [[spoiler: a police officer being shot and killed by the perpetrator during his escape. Chloe and Dan are furious with him, and his own guilt drives him to violently attack the man at Eve's suggestion later on.]]

[[AC: Devil Is as Devil Does]]
* The fact that [[spoiler: Dan's attempt to force Lucifer to suffer the consequences of his violence by alerting Tiernan of who attacked his son nearly leads to Eve and Trixie being killed by his henchman.]]

*** A guilt ridden mind is not a prerequisite for this Hell. Charlotte Richards had no guilt too, but see Infernal Guinea Pig below. She got a tailored Hell. Pre-Hell Charlotte only broke Commandments 7, 8, 10. Cain broke 4,5, and post-Abel breaks 1, 2, 5, 8. Charlotte got Hell for breaking relatively minor Commandments. Imagine what Cain would get. Keep in mind Abel was sent to Hell, and he was the victim. Taking it on faith that God lets slide Commandment 3 "Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day." Or there would be a Lucifer monologue on the hundred billion breakers.
*** It’s been implied that Charlotte did feel guilt.

* Charlotte reveals the details of her personal Hell: She wakes up goes about her morning, sits down to eat breakfast with her family and then someone who she got off comes in and shoots her whole family, and she smiles and does nothing, she wakes up and the same thing happens with a different guy she got off, over and over again.

[[AC:A Devil of My Word]]
* Lucifer gives a rather chilling speech to Cain, with a SlasherSmile that makes you ''very'' glad he's on our side...
-->''Deep down, you know you're a monster, and that you belong in Hell where you will torture yourself with that truth for'' eternity''. 'Cause no matter what you tell yourself... you can't outrun what you've done. What you truly are.''
** Worse, Cain tries to deny feeling guilty over causing Charlotte's death, until Lucifer happily reminds him with the line above. Since guilt is required to go to Hell, this could be interpreted as Lucifer intentionally making an appeal to whatever is left of Cain's conscience just before he dies, so Lucifer can ''make damn sure'' Cain goes to Hell.

* After nine episodes of Lucifer knowing of the Sinnerman's work - and the Sinnerman knowing that Lucifer is both the Devil himself ''and'' has the power to compel the revelation of someone's desires - the two men finally end up in a room together. But the Sinnerman finds a way to still come out ahead. By ''[[EyeScream gouging out his own eyes with a metal rod]]'' so that Lucifer's power (requiring two-way eye contact) is suddenly rendered useless. It says a lot that the sight of the man's desperation - coupled with his quiet taunt: ''"Now you'll never know what I want."'' - is enough to render ''the Devil'' shocked and utterly silent as Espinoza rushes in and calls for a medic.

* Cain has a HealingFactor that makes him immune to death. No matter how much damage his body takes, sooner or later he will be back to his original form. However, he still experiences the pain from the damage his body suffers. Over the last 5000 years he was cut to pieces, blown up and even once jumped into an active volcano. Even Lucifer winces at the suffering Cain has experienced over the millennia.

She has no memory of any of it, though, no idea why her husband got custody of her kids and such, and she's on the verge of a total mental breakdown from trying to make sense of everything that happened.
