* TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight: Mother hands a smuggler a BriefcaseFullOfMoney then takes him at his word when he says he's going to retrieve the item he smuggled for her. Lucifer and Amenadiel are horrified by how gullible she is. Though as it turns out, he really was telling the truth. He didn't come back because he was murdered for unrelated reasons.



* VillainyFreeVillain: The chairman of the ethics review board. Linda describes him as a smug egomaniac. However, to anyone who doesn't know the truth about Lucifer, helping people sneak out of a mental institution and sleeping with a patient are valid reasons to punish a psychiatrist.



* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never learn what Maze did to the chairman of the ethics review board, although since Linda continues to be a practicing psychiatrist and he's never mentioned again, it can't have been pretty.

'''Charlotte:''' [''Lucifer seems angry''] Very angrily. Yes. Also, a gunshot. [''Lucifer puts his hand on his chest and falls slowly''] Sounded like he was dying, or... melting? [Lucifer looks at her, dumbfounded] It's... hard to tell.

Berserk Button misuse; it's not for serious issues that can genuinely enrage people. It's for comedic overreactions to trivial things.

* BrutallyHonest: Since Linda is no longer a licensed psychiatrist, she just tells Lucifer straight up that he's the problem rather than getting him to realize it on his own why Maze is angry at him. Of course, Lucifer does deserve that, since he made things worse (see Not Helping Your Case).



* InternalReveal: Lucifer finds out the hard way that Maze knows of his plan.



* NotHelpingYourCase: Lucifer and Maze try to convince Linda's superior not to suspend her. But Lucifer being Lucifer opens his big mouth, by mentioning that they slept together.

* SpoiledBrat: Chet Ruiz, big time. He publishes his (terrible) songs through a vanity label that his mother pays, he's almost been arrested more times than either Bianca or Charlotte can count, and drops his phone in the scene of a murder, but he still has the nerve to whine about his bank account (which his mother is funding) running low.
* TheUnfavorite: Amenadiel confides in Dan that their parents always favored Lucifer more than him. He's spectacularly proven wrong when the thrid piece of the Flaming Sword that God entrusted to "His favorite son" turns out to be the pendant he's been wearing for millenia. The look on his face says it all.
