* OrphanedReference: When Ella asks Chloe if she deems Ella "crazy" for her claims that she can see a ghost, Chloe denies it and explains that she's seen "much, much crazier things". This was clearly scripted as a reference to her having found out about Lucifer's true nature in [[Recap/Lucifer2016S03E24ADevilofMyWord the Season 3 finale]], back when ''Boo Normal'' was supposed to be part of an alternative Season 4. However, it doesn't fit into the story of the actual Season 4 that was later produced, and WordOfGod places the story's events within Season 3, so it's not clear what Chloe might be referring to.

Um, it's very obvious this episode is set earlier in the season.


* CanonDiscontinuity: Season four basically treats this episode like it never happened, even mentioning that Chloe left town immediately after the previous episode so she wouldn't have been here; not to mention Dan's resentment of Lucifer in season four makes their working together on this case extremely unlikely.
