* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Chloe's bad about this (as usual). She empties a clip into a demon with Eve and baby Charlie standing almost directly behind it. If she took a single step to the right she'd have a clear line of fire.

* LoopholeAbuse: Only an angel can rule Hell. It's synonymous with saying that only Lucifer can rule Hell, as the other angels refuse to take his place. The demons get around it by trying to make the half-angel Charlie the King of Hell, since, as a newborn, he's not in any position to refuse, and Dromos can effectively rule by raising Charlie into what he pleases.

* IdiotBall: Chloe takes the ball and runs with it during the climax of the episode. DemonicPossession is running rampant, Eve is carrying around baby Charlie alone and unarmed, and Chloe is now aware that she's the cause of Lucifer's mortality, but somehow that seems like [[SkewedPriorities the perfect time]] to try making an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove. Fortunately, Lucifer's devil form gets them out of the situation when the good guys inevitably face a ZergRush at the worst possible time.

* EasilyForgiven: Linda was upset and Maze was furious when Amenadiel admits he was ''thinking'' about taking Charlie to Heaven, even though he never went through with it. Somewhat justified as the ''real'' kidnapping shows that his temptation to move back to the Silver City wasn't exactly unjustified; earth ''isn't'' the safest place to raise an angel.

** Eve, having spent the last few episodes pining after Lucifer and attempting increasingly dumb ways to win him back, realises that her obsession and selfishness is not just destructive, but also misplaced, and she should look for love in people who ''actually'' want her. In the end she moves on from Lucifer and decides to try and figure out who she is outside of a relationship.

* CassandraTruth: Invoked when Chloe suggests telling Dan and Ella the truth on the demons so they know what they're really dealing with. Lucifer points out that he's spent the last ''three years'' being completely up front on how he's the Devil and they don't believe him. The only way to prove it would be showing his real face and Chloe knows first-hand how badly that can go.

** Even after all his CharacterDevelopment, Lucifer can be very selfish and self-centered at times, especially when it comes to things that may impinge upon his freedom. However, the idea of his baby nephew Charlie being forced to replace him as King of Hell horrifies and enrages him. Preventing something like this from happening again is one of the reasons why he returns to Hell at the end.
