* SuperStrength: Once again, Lucifer gets to show off that devilish strength of his when he not only completely stops a car from driving off by grabbing onto it, but also by lifting it into the air. He also bends a Desert Eagle, a rather large and heavy HandCannon, in half with ''one hand''.

* BaitAndSwitch: At one point in the episode, it seems Lucifer is revealing the truth about him being the devil to Ella. Not only does he not use his devil face but he uses it to show Chloe how fun it is to not be LockedOutOfTheLoop like the rest of the precinct anymore.

* BrickJoke: When Lucifer and Chloe are at the pool party, Lucifer takes a (quite big) pot of honey and starts eating from it, licking it off his fingers as a FunnyBackgroundEvent. Later, when Lucifer and Chloe are back at the police office, he nonchalantly hands over the now empty jar to Ella--having eaten all of the honey in what can't be more than a few hours.
* CallBack: Linda mentions that she has experience with exactly what Chloe is going through, undoubtedly referring to when she, herself, found out in "[[Recap/Lucifer2016S02E06Monster Monster]]"
* ConsummateLiar: It is somewhat shocking to see how good of a liar Chloe actually is. She manages to convince two demons that she's none worse for wear after knowing the truth. Eventually becomes subverted when her lies are shown to be easily capable of being torn apart with her daughter unraveling one and the other one falling apart because she really isn't in the right state of mind to be with Lucifer.

* KarmicDeath: The killer, a US Marshal working in the Witness Protection Program, tries to set these up. In the past, he’s simply revealed the location of the victims to people from their past lives who would kill them or let current significant others find out they were lied to and commit the murder themselves. When neither of those attempts worked in this case, the Marshall just killed the guy himself.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Dan says that for a strange reason he believes Amenadiel when he says that Charlotte is in heaven. Did the fact that Amenadiel is an angel influence him, or was it just the conviction with which he said his words?

* NoodleIncident: When Linda suggest doing a role-play with Lucifer as part of his therapy, he answers "Role play? It's been a while, doctor. We don't have the clown masks now but I'm still game." Considering that Lucifer and Linda not only have a therapist-client relationship but also had sex with each other in the past, this can be interpreted multiple ways...

Previously Chloe was using Trixie's anger at Maze as an excuse to keep Maze away from her daughter but thanks to Trixie meeting and forgiving Maze, Maze has now caught on that Chloe was lying for some reason.

* HollywoodDensity: The opening scene with [[ButtMonkey Lee Garner]] culminates in Lucifer deciding to give him an armful of bundles of cash... and at least half a dozen gold bars the size of housebricks, which should weigh around sixty or seventy pounds apiece. This adds up to considerably more than an Olympic weightlifter can hoist, but Lee doesn't seem to be overly strained.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: To Amenadiel, InUniverse. He walks in on Linda punching Maze in the face, so he assumes they're still mad at each other and even that they're fighting over ''him''. Turns out Linda had actually ''asked'' Maze to fight, in an effort to better understand her, and that Linda and Maze have reconciled and are friends again.
