* BilingualBonus: Maze's BattleCry is in Zulu (one of South Africa's major languages, which Creator/LesleyAnnBrandt is fluent in despite being a native Afrikaans speaker), but the translation isn't exact. Rather than simply saying "fight", she says ''babulale bonke'', which literally means "KillThemAll".

* TeamSwitzerland: Azrael remains neutral in the conflict between Lucifer and Michael. Her reaping Chloe isn't because she's sided with Michael, it's just her duty as Angel of Death and clearly not something she enjoys doing.

* FailedAttemptAtDrama:
** Michael loudly declares himself God into the sky, expecting some kind of divine theatrics to accompany him. None of those happen.
** Lucifer exposing Michael's dirty work only causes two angels to switch to his side (and one quickly changes her mind). Lucifer lampshades this, thinking that there would be more than that.



* LastSecondWordSwap: When he seemingly surrenders to Michael:
-->'''Lucifer:''' You are God...awful.
* ManipulativeBastard: It turns out that Michael orchestrated Dan's death so Chloe can feel guilty about it, therefore damning her to Hell. Therefore Michael can use it as a bargaining chip for Lucifer to retake his throne in Hell, which will mean he can be with Chloe forever, even though she will be behind the bars.



* SequelHook: Dan is still in Hell, nobody except for Lucifer and Amenadiel know about it yet, and the two will no doubt attempt to rescue him now that Lucifer knows that damned souls can escape their Hell loop.
