  • The Running Gag of Lucifer being totally and completely honest about who and what he is and no one believing him. He tells people that he is "Lucifer Morningstar", or The Devil or whatever, and people laugh him off.
    • Linda thinks it is all a metaphor for his family drama. Chloe asks if it is a stage name. Ella thinks he is a method actor; he told her several times that he is not.
    • He can even say something like "No, seriously, I am the Devil. This is not a joke." Then when someone finally believes him, they think he hid the truth from them.
  • The other Running Gag of Lucifer receiving good advice from Linda, only for him to completely misunderstand what she means and then later blame her when it inevitably doesn't end up yielding the results he wanted. She eventually learns to just roll with it.

    • Chloe is thrown to see the scars where Lucifer's wings were.
      Chloe: My God.

  • Chloe comes to a party at the club in a dress Lucifer gave her at the last minute, when he said the outfit she was wearing previously made her look too much like an undercover cop. After she puts it on, Lucifer reveals it was left behind by one of his conquests.

  • Dan waking up naked in Chloe's bed.
    • He then dons Chloe's clothes to sneak out of the house and enters the club to confront Maze dressed in pink sweatpants and top with an N*Sync t-shirt. He says he's going to arrest her for assaulting a police officer since she knocked him out, stripped him naked, and snuck him into Chloe's house. Maze points out that he can't arrest her, either because no one will believe that it actually happened, or because nobody will be able to take him seriously anymore.
      Dan: Why would you think that putting me in her bed naked would get us to have sex?
      Maze: [sigh] Always works for me.
    • Dan has to bribe Trixie to get her to get clothes. The deal, on her part, is chocolate cake from Dan on every visit. Meta-funny is the series in later episodes often call-backs this subtly by showing him indeed bringing her chocolate cake every time. Also, that Chloe will never find out about the "naked in bed" incident, and never starts to wonder/ask Dan "What's will all those chocolate cakes lately?".
  • All of Maze's interactions with Dan. The best part of the "drop him naked in Chloe's bed" plan is that she wasn't being a troll—she genuinely thought that would solve their relationship issues. What's even more funny is that it actually does help their relationship, since he happened to overhear something important while hiding from Chloe.

    Lucifer: We were like fish and chips! Salt and pepper! Hipsters and condescension!

    Dan: Did you really put out an APB for ...angel wings?
    Chloe: ...Maybe.
  • Amenadiel and Lucifer bonding at the "holy relics" auction over the obvious fakes. They especially note that the manacles supposedly worn by Saint Paul would never have fit him.
    Lucifer: Never one to pass on dessert, that one.
    Amenadiel: He should have been the Saint of—
    Both: Honey cakes. [they laugh, then fade into an awkward pause as they realize they're actually getting along for once]
  • Lucifer annoyed at how Amenadiel and Chloe are getting along.

    Lucifer: Not what, but who, if you must know, but I try not to kiss and tell.
    • And then Chloe and Linda get along surprisingly well, to Lucifer's annoyance.
      Chloe: And here I thought you were sleeping with him.
      Linda: Oh, I am.
  • Linda shows up at Lux, and Maze insults her. Linda calmly picks apart her motivations, saying people tend to be rude and aggressive when they're feeling defensive or powerless. "But I'm sure that's not you at all." Maze just smirks and says, "I like you."
  • Sandy reveals how she's kept bags of poop in her car to throw at a cheating patient.
    Lucifer: I'm not sure whether to be disgusted or impressed.
    Sandy: My friend owns a horse.
    Chloe: That's oddly comforting to know.
  • Lucifer barges into a group-therapy grief session to force them all to help him with his problem. It cuts away, and when it cuts back, he's explained his situation. Turns out he recapped the entire show.
    Lucifer: There's so very much to discuss. So let's start with the most important thing, shall we? Me.
    (later)
    Lucifer: So... what do you think? Yes?
    Patient 1: So... you're the Devil?
    Lucifer: Yes yes, try to keep up! Anyone? You.

  • Lucifer trolling by hanging out in the confession booth.
    Woman: My last confession was three hours ago.
    Lucifer: Ooooh, a speedy sinner...For your penance, ten Bloody Marys and a good shag.
  • In an otherwise sad scene, as Lucifer tends to the shot Frank:
    Frank: I'm not afraid to die.
    Lucifer: Well you should be, it's really boring where you're headed.
    Frank: Hope so, I've had enough excitement for one life.
    Lucifer: Stop talking like that! You've got more to do here, you've got more people to annoy!

  • Chloe and Lucifer check out a suspect's home.
    Lucifer: Board shorts. I don't know what further proof you need that he's deranged.
  • Lucifer annoyed hearing a couple in a hotel yelling "oh, God" while having sex.

    Cultist: Oh, the Devil's a cop now, is he?
  • Mike admitting he doesn't believe in the whole devil worship thing.
    Mike: The Devil ain't going to buy me an Aston Martin.
    Lucifer: Well, not with that attitude, he won't.
  • Lucifer and Chloe looking at a painting of a red-skinned and horned Devil
    Chloe: Looks just like you.
    Lucifer: I manscape.
  • Lucifer wants to talk to Trixie but Chloe tells him not to wake her up. The moment Chloe walks up the stairs, Lucifer kicks open Trixie's door and throws a stuffed animal at her.
    Trixie: Did you just throw a toy at me?
    Lucifer: Oh good! You're awake!
  • Suspecting Chloe might be an angel, Lucifer does the logical thing: He interrogates Trixie.
    Lucifer: There's some chocolate cake in it for you.
    Trixie: I want cash.
    Lucifer: Oh... I like your style.

     Episode 13 - Take Me Back To Hell  

  • Lucifer on Amenadiel being sorry for his actions.
    Lucifer: You know, I think this side of you is actually scarier than the other one.
  • Amenadiel and Lucifer in joint therapy with Dr. Linda is about as amusing as you'd expect it to be.
    Linda: Are you even a real doctor?
    Lucifer: Of course he isn't! If he knew anything about human nature, we wouldn't be in this mess!
  • Linda moaning about the ethical position she's in regarding Lucifer and Amenadiel, Lucifer opening his mouth...
    Linda: Let me guess, you were going to make a joke about putting me in a position, correct?
    Lucifer: That's true, yeah.
  • And then there's this:
    Linda: And you continue to insist on these ridiculous metaphors! Heaven! Hell! Angels! Demons!
    Amenadiel: They're not met-
    Lucifer: *interrupting* You do NOT want to pick this fight. Just don't.
  • All through the episode Lucifer introduces Amenadiel as his brother, and pretty much gets the reaction you'd expect when a white guy with an English accent introduces a black guy with an American accent that way.
    Lucifer: I know, shocking, isn't it, he's much less handsome than I am.
  • Lucifer and Amenadiel crash a funeral to talk up an informant and both note that the thing is "just a show" as the actual corpse is far beyond their cares.
  • Lucifer trolls Chloe by pretending to be a cop.
    Lucifer: (in an American accent) Put your hands in the air and walk towards me peacefully. If you do not - I repeat, if you do not - we will have no choice but to shoot you... with our new bazooka. (Chloe's face goes from "oh shit I've been caught" to "WTF?")
  • The only thing better than Lucifer and Amenadiel teaming up? Chloe and Maze teaming up.
    Maze: Wish I had my knives.
    Chloe: You don't need them.
    Maze: I never need them.
  • Maze noting "to think I almost killed you in your sleep that one time" and Chloe doing a great "wait, what?" double take.
  • Lucifer and Amenadiel take a time out in front a large group of heavily armed goons and huddle to discuss how they're going to handle this, deciding a literal Bash Brothers strategy would be the most fun.
  • Lucifer asking why they don't just go right after Malcolm.
    Chloe: Because it's incredibly impulsive and short-sighted.
    Lucifer: Have you noticed that's my jam?
  • Lucifer put out to find Dan has proven his innocence.
    Lucifer: Can I rethink my surrender?
  • When Chloe pulls her out of the way of gunfire and lands on top of her, Maze looks down at their breasts pressing together, grins, and tells Chloe she understands why Lucifer likes her.

Season 2

    Episode 1 - Everything's Coming Up Lucifer 

  • Lucifer and Amenadiel confront a bank robber who they believe to be possessed by their mother, only for it to turn out he's just a normal criminal with debts. He is confused and tries to shoot them, so they stop time, argue a bit, and leave. But not before Lucifer takes the opportunity to put a tiara on him, steal his gun and clothes, and tie his shoelaces together.
  • Lucifer tells Linda his mother is going to kill him and quickly adds "that's not a metaphor."
  • Lucifer explains how his mother and God created the universe by having sex.
    Linda: The Big Bang?
    Lucifer: Never knew how appropriate that term was, did you?
  • The new CSI, Ella Lopez, assumes Lucifer is a method actor. She seems far more creeped out by that idea than the possibility that he might actually be the devil.
  • After finding a pack of cash in the victim's home, Lucifer and Chloe exit to the yard packed with plastic flamingos.
    Lucifer: Maybe she needed the cash to fund her flamingo army.
  • Amenadiel is upset when he learns Chloe is going to test Lucifer's blood.
  • Lucifer mistakenly believes a teen actress with a (false) reputation for purity is possessed by his mother. When he rants about how he knows what she is, she rips off her shirt and jumps on top of him. He starts freaking out, because even though he realizes she's not his mother, he can't get the idea out of his head. Then Chloe walks in.
    Lucifer: Detective, for once, this is not what it looks like.
  • Lucifer reacts to the symbol on a bag of drugs:
    Lucifer: A devil emoji? That's it, I'm speaking to a copyright lawyer, today.
  • Chloe is naturally dubious of Lucifer's explanation of his mother inhabiting a human body. "You're making less sense than you usually do."
    • When Lucifer says his mom has to be behind the drug dealing as it's like her, Chloe gives him a look. "What, you think I took after my dad?" Lucifer replies.
  • Lucifer pushes for Chloe to test his blood.
    Lucifer: Scared of what you might find?
    Chloe: I'm not scared of anything except discovering what STDs you might have.
  • Lucifer describes Maze as "a bad penny...in tight leather pants."
  • Lucifer stands up before an AA group and offers money for drugs, listing a slew of ones to use. Chloe just sits there with a "Oh, God..." look.
  • Asked about his "lowest point," Lucifer fires back. "Hell, I suppose. Can't get lower than that."
  • The actress's boyfriend tries to stab Lucifer out of jealousy. Maze appears out of nowhere and beats him up, while Lucifer just casually finishes his drink.
    Lucifer: Oh, there you are, Maze. I was wondering where you had got off to.
  • Lucifer's look when Maze starts singing the theme song of the actress' TV show, revealing she's a fan.
  • Lucifer accuses Maze of letting his mother out. When she demands to know why she would do something like that, he says "Desperation makes for odd bedfellows. ...and now I just pictured you and my mother in bed. I can't unsee that."
  • Maze explains she was doing some "soul-searching."
    Lucifer: What, like hunting down and killing them?
    Maze: I wish. That would be a lot easier.
  • After Lucifer and Maze have a long conversation about Hell in front of the boyfriend (who's hanging from the ceiling with a gag Lucifer keeps grabbing on and off), Maze says she'll let him go... after she's had her fun. Next time we see them, he's running out the door, having been tarred and feathered, and Maze is watching him go grinning in satisfaction and armed with a cattle prod.
    Boyfriend: What the Hell is wrong with you people!?
  • Lucifer finds himself being strangled by the killer (a burly nurse) and gasps "Don't...tell anyone... I died like this!"
  • Chloe rescues Lucifer by hitting the woman with a taser. Lucifer just groans "nearly had her."
    • On his way out, Lucifer grabs the taser and sends another charge through it, causing the unconscious woman to twitch on the floor. This causes a full on Face Palm from Chloe.

    Episode 2 - Liar, Liar, Slutty Dress on Fire 

  • Lucifer's mother went through two bodies before she got to Tricia Helfer. The first man died of a heart attack; after she possessed him she immediately wandered into traffic and got hit by a bus. The second was a gang banger in the middle of a shootout; the second she wakes up, someone looks at her, says "Man. I thought I'd killed your ass," and shoots her between the eyes.
  • Lucifer's mom shows off her new body.
    Lucifer's mother: I apologize for my human form but at least this one has supreme hindquarters.
    Lucifer: You're lying.
    Lucifer's mother: No, they're quite sturdy, feel it. [Turns around and points her butt at Lucifer's face]
    Lucifer's mother: Now I'm just trapped in this stinky human with the exceptional ass.
  • Lucifer and his mother go back to the hotel where her body was murdered with Lucifer's mother in a very short and very revealing dress. Then she bends over to pick up the "Do Not Disturb" sign and Lucifer cringes.
    Lucifer's mother: Yes, half my hind is exposed. Human attire is very impractical. They're morons, aren't they?
  • When Lucifer says they need to escape a murder scene, his mother jumps into his arms and tells him to fly. He rolls his eyes and leads her out the fire escape. Once they're outside the building, he explains that he cut his wings off.
    Lucifer's Mother: Why would you...? I mean, come to Earth and get a haircut or something, but that's a little extreme!
    • When a guy hits on his mom, Lucifer mutters "him you can kill." He then has to stop her from taking him seriously.
  • Lucifer being the Straight Man when he tries to make her mother understand human rules, such as not taking your clothes off in public. (Plus, she managed to get the dress off in about two seconds. How?!?!)
  • Dan is waiting in an interrogation room as Chloe enters with a stern expression. She sits at a table, glaring before revealing a doll that's been mutilated. It then cuts to Trixie saying, "I was just trying to give Tammy Twinkletoes a makeover."
    • Lucifer interrupts and Chloe makes a frustrated face, prompting him to say, "Ooh. You know, when you make that face, you look a bit like the doll."
    • He also clicks the lights for the room on and off, while making "untz-untz-untz" noises. "Oh, look. You can disco a bad guy into confessing."
  • Lucifer insisting a killer has to be a woman because of the small hands.
    Ella: I've seen some guys with some pretty tiny lady-hands.
    Lucifer: Dan doesn't count.
  • Chloe tries to get Lucifer's attention while he's calling on Amenadiel, and is understandably astonished.
    Chloe: Are you praying?
    Lucifer: Yes, it usually works. He must have gone for a wank, or something.
  • Lucifer tries to give Charlotte's husband a wake-up call by going through his wardrobe.
    Lucifer: (holding up a pair of Crocs) There is only one body part rubber should be worn on. Not that you'd know, you've clearly castrated yourself. Hawaiian print? The eighth deadly sin. Dave Matthews tribute tank? Now I'm doubting your sanity.
    • He unzips a bag which explodes cocaine onto his face. Lucifer is downright giddy as he notes "the good stuff as well!" He then welcomes Chloe to "the party."
  • Left alone with a table piled with kilo packages of cocaine in the crime lab, Lucifer furtively looks around, counts "eeny, meeny, miny, moe", and grabs a package to stuff under his coat before casually walking out.
  • Lucifer's mother sees a black and white commercial for mac and cheese and asks Maze about the "strange, gooey substance that this boy is cooing about". Maze's response?
    Maze: You watching porn?
    • She is later seen at the supermarket, her cart filled to the brim with cheese wheels. And then at the end of the episode, she presents Lucifer with a dish of melted cheese mixed with noodles—and covered in about two inches of charcoal. It seems she didn't so much cook it as set it on fire.
  • When Lucifer's mother escapes from Maze, Lucifer tries to reassure himself that there's no way his mother could have gotten very far because she was so unfamiliar with the human world and didn't have anyone to help her.
    Lucifer: How far can a celestial being trapped in a feeble human body for the first time get?
    Maze: Well let's see... She's stupid hot, wearing my clothes, and she's got a corporate credit card.
    Lucifer: (Beat) ...Bollocks.
  • After Lucifer's mother convinces Lucifer not to send her back to Hell, she spends a few moments on the balcony gasping in relief, then looks up and gives an absolutely smoldering look of smugness up at her husband before strutting back inside.

    Episode 3 - Sin-Eater 

  • Lucifer is engaged in some kinky waxplay with a new paramour... only for his mother to walk in and politely ask to be introduced. The girl is excited for a threesome.
    Lucifer: That's my mum you're talking about.
    Girl: ...this just got too weird.
  • Dan shows up at the police station, seemingly begging Chloe to give him a second chance and he'll make it up to her. Cut to Trixie (in sunglasses) sitting at the desk as Dan gives her a cake. "You're lucky I like you."
    • Also, Lucifer intones "Good gracious, great balls of fire" and Chloe lets out a "should have seen that coming" sigh.
    • Lucifer goes on a tear, and Ella joins in.
      Lucifer: I've heard of hot pants, but this really brings new meaning to the term fire crotch, doesn't it?
      Chloe: Lucifer!
      Lucifer: Wait, I have more. Smokey Bobinson, Weekend at Burnie's.
      Ella: His burning bush?
      Lucifer: Oh, very good. That was actually me, by the way, so don't tell anyone.
  • The first victim was immolated, with the fire starting at his crotch. Chloe has to repeatedly tell Lucifer "Do not touch the charred crotch."
  • Lucifer notes such a burning is something he reserved for the worst offenders in Hell: "Pedophiles, Nazis, people who put their seats back on a plane."
  • Lucifer and Chloe talk to the victim's ex.
    Lucifer: Things just flame out or go up in a blaze of glory?
    Chloe: Lucifer.
    Lucifer: You're right, too subtle.
  • Lucifer finds his mother at the police station surrounded by a horde of male admirers, to his absolute horror.
    Lucifer: Why are they all being so... chummy?
    Chloe: Well, she used to be a cop and oh yeah, cuz she's a knockout. Personally I'm surprised that you haven't tried ... [Lucifer immediately leaves her hanging and walks over]
    Lucifer: How did you even find your way here?
    Charlotte: Well it wasn't difficult. I simply smiled at a male human and asked him to take me.
  • Lucifer tells Chloe that her fight with Dan is "hurting those caught in the middle."
    Chloe: You mean Trixie.
    Lucifer: No, I mean me! You know how bored I am hearing all this?
  • When Chloe goes to get the second victim's cell phone out of his pocket, Lucifer says, "Careful, Detective! It might be a booby trap." Chloe makes the same face that in the last episode caused him to notice that she looked like Trixie's mutilated doll.
  • Lucifer notes people should be careful with the phrase "Judgement Day" as "That's not due for a couple more years."
  • Lucifer's mother decides to try and learn about humanity by dancing provocatively in a short dress in Lucifer's club.
    Charlotte: But I have to admit, when I started dancing, rubbing up against the other humans, I got a tingling sensation... [Gestures toward her crotch]
    Lucifer: Okay! That's enough! [Hoists her away in a fireman's carry]
    Charlotte: I don't understand! I thought you'd be pleased by my efforts.
    Lucifer: Disturbed is more like it.
  • At the end of the episode, Lucifer's mother gets attacked by a mugger:
    Mugger: Your money or your life, bitch.
    Charlotte: [very confused] I... choose money. [Beat] Does anyone choose life?

    Episode 4 - Lady Parts 

  • Lucifer is happy to finally have a cell phone.
    Lucifer: A thousand Tinder dates and Sex Words With Friends? Gosh, it's more addictive than a whore's navel cocaine.
    • His password for the phone? "Carnal. Capital C."
  • Maze and Lucifer's mother discussing "Charlotte's" new living situation.
    Maze: And how's that human husband?
    "Charlotte": I discovered a trick with him. Whenever he asks a question, I just have sex with him. Seems to render him mute.
    Maze: [impressed] Hm. Took me a while to figure that one out.
    Charlotte: They breathe through their mouths and they won't shut up about something called "gluten".
  • Chloe complains she can't afford a house in a nice neighborhood. When a man comes out in a seemingly blood-stained apron with a butcher's knife, Lucifer states "If this home is the site of a recent massacre, you may well be in an excellent negotiating position."
    • Apparently the man had been harassed by "militant vegans".
  • Lucifer wants Maze to take Chloe out to have fun to get her out of his hair, so he bets Maze his convertible.
    Lucifer: Three drinks should do the trick.
    Maze: [grinning] Sucker's bet! Easy.
    Lucifer: Yes, but you're not allowed to tie her up and pour booze down her throat.
    Maze: [not grinning] ...Less easy.
    • Followed by Maze yelling at somebody off-camera.
      Maze: I said GET NAKED. [To Lucifer]...wanna watch?
  • Amenadiel runs into Linda and mentions his "physical problem" (meaning his decaying wings, but he can't outright mention that because he knows Linda is skeptical about him being supernatural). She, of course, assumes he's talking about erectile dysfunction.
    Linda: It's very common.
    Amenadiel: I doubt that.
  • Apparently, Lucifer isn't a cat person.
    Lucifer: I detest cats. Want an animal to stare at you in contempt? Get a cat. Open box of excrement in your house? Cat.
    • And the moment he utters that last sentence, they are walking into the apartment of the girl they're looking for and her cat, and he immediately follows it up with that he's indeed smelling cat excrement in this apartment — to which Chloe immediately corrects him that's not cat excrement smell, it's a human dead body decaying smell — and she's right.
  • When Maze drags Chloe to girls' night for the bet with Lucifer, Ella pretty much just invites herself and comes along, to Maze's intense confusion.
  • Chloe interrupts Lucifer picking up two girls to talk the case.
    Chloe: You have a finger on the pulse of this town...
    Lucifer: Not the appendage I hoped to have pulsing by now...
  • After Linda shows up for girls' night (Maze invited her), she suggests everyone shares something from their past. Linda paid her way through med school by being a sex caller, Ella used to steal cars (Chloe gives her a look), and Maze just loudly says she was forged in the bowels of Hell to torture the guilty for all of eternity. Chloe is still focused on the case, so they ask her what's on her mind besides the case.
    Chloe: Um... a little divorce... uh... single parenthood... possible homelessness and... most likely, many, many cats in my future.
    Maze: Or things that require batteries.
  • Lucifer is embarrassed to find Amenadiel at Lux drinking a cosmo. When Lucifer takes the drink away to give him something harder, Amenadiel says with an absolutely straight face: "Cosmos are yummy."
  • When Maze suggests taking Chloe and Ella out, she mentions piña coladas, to which Ella, with a Squee voice, answers "I love pina coladas!". Gilligan Cut to Ella finishing a pina colada (presumably having consumed it very quickly), Chloe not having touched her pina colada at all, and Maze pointedly drinking a beer (instead of a pina colada) with a bored/annoyed face. Then Ella notices that Chloe's pina colada is untouched, and tries to grab it to drink it herself.
  • The girls drunkenly singing karaoke. Including Maze.
    Maze: I wish I had my knives, we could have made a blood oath.
    Chloe: Oooh, next time!
  • Chloe's drunken impression of Lucifer's British accent.
  • Chloe drunkenly wanders toward a good-looking man to the approval of the rest of the girls. She then pushes the man aside to reveal a less-good-looking man behind him. The girls immediately voice their disapproval.
    Maze: NO. Abort!
    Linda: Oh. Don't do that.
    • Even funnier is that Chloe was drunk beforehand, but the moment she addresses the second man, she suddenly seems her sober, serious detective self again. It's as if the "cop part" of her brain immediately took over from the "drunk part" as soon as she noticed she had a new clue in her case.
    • The fact that the other three girls, and the viewer, initially think Chloe's straight walk with a determined face towards those men means she is going to pick them up/flirt with them, but it then turning out she is adressing the second man in a dead-serious way in her role as a LAPD detective, because she noticed a clue involving her case on him.
  • The girls engage in a full on brawl in the bar.
    Maze: No one calls my skank a skank! [Turns to the rest of the girls] I'm hurting her.
    • Chloe and Linda hold Maze back, but Ella throws in with an unhelpful "Wipe that smile off her face!"
      Linda: Clearly, this woman is having some serious trust issues. Or maybe she's just a raging bitch.
  • Which prompts a bar fight. Ella immediately delivers a headlock, Linda dives for cover, Chloe tries to calm everyone down with her badge before she gets tackled, and Maze... well. Even when drunk, Maze effortlessly takes down four large men in about 8 seconds.
  • Dan's This Is Gonna Suck face when Chloe suggests he and Lucifer go undercover at a sex party.
    Lucifer: Then again, if you're me, every party is a sex party of sorts.
    • Dan also reacting when Lucifer drags Amenadiel along to the party.
  • Dan refusing to accept he "looks like a cop."
    Dan: I do not look like a cop.
    Amenadiel: Cop.
  • Dan telling Lucifer and Amenadiel to "keep everything low key." Gilligan Cut to Amenadiel howling and dancing crazily.
  • And as the party's winding down, Lucifer goes to find Amenadiel, sprawled, semi-conscious, in a chair with a glass of wine in his hand. He hauls him to his feet, in time for him to spill it on Dan. Lucifer's response?
    Lucifer: Oh, I wish I'd got that on camera. Oh wait! I can! *whips out phone and starts following Dan* Douche cam!
  • The photo of a drunken Chloe Maze sends Lucifer.
    • A pissed off Chloe walks out on Lucifer. Naturally, he asks what Dan said to her.
  • Chloe using a rolled up yoga mat to lay a beatdown on the murderer.
    Chloe: There's a special place in Hell [Whack] for women who fake [Whack] friendships [Whack] as a way of manipulating [Whack] other [Whack] women [Whack] !
    Lucifer: She's right, you know.
  • Lucifer points out how the apartment is now vacant.
    Chloe: Are you seriously suggesting that I should move into a dead girl's apartment?
    Lucifer: No no no, the killer's place is much nicer. I mean, just look at this view!
  • Chloe asks how Maze got into the police station.
    Maze: Let's just say Samantha at the front desk is no longer into men.
  • Maze claims she wasn't faking being Chloe's friend.
    Maze: Like when I strangled psycho chick for the win. That was genuine. You know, I wouldn't just kick ass for anyone. Okay, fine, I would...
  • The idea of Chloe and Maze becoming roommates.
    • This includes Chloe's My God, What Have I Done? face when she realizes she agreed to this when she was blacked out the night before.
    • Then Maze pointing out to Chloe that she (Maze) would be the ideal roommate for Chloe because she would never steal/borrow Chloe's clothes because in Maze's words "[Chloe] wears terrible clothes".
  • Lucifer reacts to the idea with about ten "nos."
    Lucifer: Dad forbid you manage to have sex with her before I do. Oh, actually, can I interest you in another wager?

    Episode 5 - Weaponizer 

  • After talking of Chloe's accident, Lucifer mentions she's now getting into "another disastrous wreck that is avoidable..." Living with Maze.
    Lucifer: Potential for sexy pillow fights non-withstanding, you and Maze are like snow pants and elephants. You don't mix.
  • While Chloe is talking to Trixie about the dangers of the job, Lucifer is pulling things out of Maze's box of "toys." Some are sex toys. Some are not.
  • The victim was known for being a drug user.
    Chloe: He had a drug problem?
    Lucifer: Well, only if you consider it a problem if you habitually stuff your face with millions of dollars of cocaine. For me that's Tuesday, but apparently it's frowned upon.
  • Lucifer tries to take a selfie with the corpse before Chloe stops him.
  • Ella says she needs to ask Lucifer something. He sighs, says he will have sex with her, and offers the mangy bed in the next room. Of an active crime scene. Ella actually says yes before stopping herself at the last second and asking her actual question.
  • Lucifer repeats he's not a "method actor" and Ella points out that's "so method" to say.
  • Lucifer welcomes Uriel.
    Lucifer: Clearly, I got the fashion sense in the family. Word of advice, I'd lose the trench coat because as it stands, it looks less cool brooding angel and more pedophile chic.
  • Lucifer tells Chloe to be careful because of Uriel.
    Lucifer: Just do the opposite of what you had planned.
    Chloe: Too bad. Because I was planning on having sex with you today.
    Lucifer: Really? Oh, well played.
  • Dan and Lucifer bonding over the movies the victim was in.
    Dan: I actually skipped some of our wedding planning to wait in line for Bodybags 4, remember?
    Chloe: That was the big emergency?
    Dan: Well... yeah... but it was totally worth it.
  • The Running Gag of Lucifer trying to get his own catchphrase. "It's Devil Time." He tries to use it, bringing weird looks from Chloe, Dan and the witness.
  • We first see "Charlotte" struggling at work, on phone with the school, who are mad at her for bringing the children in late. And, apparently, pantsless.
  • Lucifer pays the Weaponizer's bail just for his image.
  • Dan taking a selfie photo with Van Zant's mugshot. Chloe just goes up to him afterwards.
  • The actor's manager explaining why he's broke.
    Manager: You know what costs more than an albino tiger? The upkeep on an albino tiger.
  • When we actually see Charlotte's children, her son is barking like a dog, and she has responded by giving him a "time out." Which means she chained him to a soccer goal. Maze rolls her eyes and barks at him—once. He immediately apologizes.

    Episode 6 - Monster 

  • Chloe outraged to find Trixie swinging on Maze's sex swing.
  • Chloe ripping into Lucifer showing up drunk at a crime scene.
    Chloe: You look like a homeless magician.
    Chloe: You look like hell.
    Lucifer: [mimics rimshot] Never heard that one before.
    • Lucifer successfully hits on one of the zombie bridesmaids, leading to the two making out at an active crime scene.
      Chloe:
      Lucifer: Detective, I found you a lead!
      Chloe: Where? In her mouth?
      Lucifer: Yes, actually!
  • The fact that Lucifer knows what cankles are and nonchalantly points out that the bridesmaid's dress doesn't flatter her at all.
  • Lucifer trying to get snacks out a vending machine with a $100 bill.
    • After getting his money eaten, he just pries open the machine and steals food from the vending machine. In the middle of the police precinct. Chloe doesn't even bother anymore.
    • Rather than outright stealing the food, he just takes two bags and stuffs the $100 dollar bill into the vending machine in their place.
  • Trixie's babysister left early because she looked into Maze's room and ran away screaming. Trixie found it hilarious.
    Chloe: What did you do to the babysitter?
    Maze: Me? She's the one who didn't knock. I didn't have time to hide my toys.
  • The talk between Chloe and Maze.
    Maze: Sure, I'll take your offspring out for a walk.
    Chloe: She's not a dog, but thank you. Take her out early, by 3.
    Maze: Great, late after-parties don't start until three.
    Chloe: Not 3 am, 3 pm!
    Maze: Lame.
  • While Lucifer's downward spiral is mostly depressing, the fact that he is more effective than ever is pretty funny. Like when he gives Dan a big hug, then returns a few moments later to reveal that he stole the files they need using Dan's badge.
    Lucifer: At least I didn't have to use this. [reveals Dan's gun]
  • Dan's awkward attempt at pronouncing of "lymphangioleiomyomatosis".
  • Chloe gets Maze to take Trixie trick-or treating. First, while Chloe got Trixie a princess dress, Maze lets her dress up as what she really wants—president of Mars. Then, when they actually go trick-or-treating, Maze keeps glaring at the people until they give up more candy. And money.
  • A very dark example: Lucifer shields the target from the sniper with his own body. Or, to be more specific, he tries to get the sniper to shoot him and the target hides behind him. The sniper keeps firing warning shots, to Lucifer's intense annoyance.
    Lucifer: (shot misses) Seriously? I'm standing right here! (shot misses) Alright, you're just embarrassing yourself now! I mean, can you be any worse of a shot! (shot misses, and he turns to the woman cowering behind him) It's like he's not even trying! (shot misses) Not her, you idiot! Me!
  • When Chloe confronts the sniper, he tries to bring his gun to bear on her... only to bang it against the construction frame he was using as a stand. He just kind of sighs and gives up.
  • While at Lux, Lucifer extinguishes a cigarette in his own drink. A few minutes later, he goes to drink it, only to remember the cigarette.
  • Chloe comes home and finds her living room floor liberally covered with candy wrappers.

     Episode 7 - My Little Monkey 

  • Lucifer figures he needs to be someone "more boring..." Enter Dan.
  • Lucifer on following Daniel. "I'm going to learn how to douche... I may have to rephrase that."
  • Maze knocks on Linda's door but she doesn't answer. Inside her office, Linda turns to find Maze standing there. She gasps and asks if Maze can teleport; Maze answers that she just came in through the window.

      Ella: You're the one who wanted tit for tat.
      Lucifer: Yes, if only it were that simple.
  • Lucifer in his session with Linda. He's explaining about what happened between him and Chloe in the previous episode...while she's silently staring at him, eyes comically wide, with her pen tapping repeatedly against her notebook.
    • She then interrupts him to ask how he tortured Hitler in Hell.
      Linda: I mean, is his cell next to Idi Amin's? Or Mussolini's? Or is there kind of a-a-a... a tyrant wing in Hell?
      Lucifer: Right... I suppose it was futile of me to think that you wouldn't want to discuss the whole "I'm really the Devil" thing.
    • The conversation leading up to Linda asking about Hitler, as Lucifer goes on a tangent about the sandwich Chloe made him in the previous episode.
      Lucifer: I believe this is the part where you tell me it's much more than just a sandwich. (Linda just stares at him) For example! Maybe it was a gesture of intimacy. You know, the slices of bread representing perhaps the detective's trust? Or... was it a mistrustful sandwich? Doctor, please, what delicious message was she sending me?
      Linda: (Beat) What about Hitler?
      Lucifer: (extremely confused) ...the sandwich is Hitler?
    • Linda asks about her uncle Edwin being down there as he was "a bad mammajamma."

    • Linda is surprised that the angel of death is "a chick".
    • She also has a My God, What Have I Done? reaction when it hits her that she had sex with the Devil. Lucifer replies with "You're welcome".

    Lucifer: Now she's somewhere to the left of totally useless and to the right of babbling lunatic.
    Chloe: So, she's you in a skirt.
  • Lucifer asks Ella to run a test. When she asks if it's paternity, he complains if he looks that irresponsible. The look on her face is priceless.

    Ella: Favors are based on faith.
    Lucifer: Please don't ruin favors for me.
    • Lucifer asks Ella for help in analyzing Uriel's disinterred grave and promises her a favor.

At the end of the episode, it turns out that Ella... gets Lucifer to go to church with her.
  • Lucifer's mom apparently read all the law books in a weekend. And taught her husband some new sex positions...
    • Lucifer's mom is pretty happy that Lucifer is "sexually prolific". Turns out he got it from her. Yet another brain bleach for Lucifer.
  • Lucifer is less than pleased that his mother led hapless mortals to Azrael's blade.
    Lucifer: Why in the world would you tell people?? What's wrong with you?
    Charlotte: Me? If you didn't want the blade found, you shouldn't have left it in a hole in the ground.
    Lucifer: A filled-in hole in the middle of nowhere, which nobody would have possibly found if not for you!
    Charlotte: Yes, well... there's that.
  • When Lucifer is working his mojo on Jenson Glory, he says, "Tell me what you want, what you really, really, want."
  • Dan spends almost a minute complaining about how his pudding's gone missing.
    Chloe: Wow. Do you want me to schedule a stake-out?
    Dan: I'm just saying, a man's snacks, they're sacred, okay?
    • In the midst of Dan's Azrael's Blade-induced rage against Lucifer, otherwise a not-very-funny moment, Dan voices a particular complaint: Lucifer has been stealing his pudding.
      Lucifer: Okay, I have been known to lay waste to the department fridge, but how was I supposed to know they were yours?
      Dan: Because it was labeled!
  • Chloe is so obviously jealous that Lucifer and Ella are spending more time together, but keeps denying that it means anything. Dan isn't buying it.
    • Then Lucifer walks up behind her when she's talking about it.
      Lucifer: Not like Lucifer would...what?
      Chloe: ...like...poker.
    • What's funnier? Dan clearly saw Lucifer coming, and knew he was standing behind Chloe. He didn't stop her from talking.
    • Chloe and Dan then begin whisper-arguing the moment Lucifer turns his back on them.
    • Then later, when Chloe, Lucifer and Ella are analyzing the crime scene of the massacre, Ella begins to re-enact what most likely happened with Lucifer's help...and they both unintentionally end up in some very suggestive positions. Chloe's reaction throughout is a sight to behold.
  • Lucifer starts heading to the suspect's office, only for Chloe to start coming with him. He holds her off by saying he needs to make a personal phone call. Cut to Amenadiel and Maze ransacking the suspect's office.
    • Lucifer was in such a rush to make sure Chloe didn't see Maze and Amenadiel that he apparently jumped out of her car before she finished parking.
  • Amenadiel's less-than-stellar comeback to Maze calling him a mama's boy.

    Maze: Yeah, it is.
  • Lucifer does the "deepest desire" trick on the fitness guru who confesses he wants a flavored muffin. He then tears off the girdle he's been wearing to show off a large belly.
    Suspect: I backslid a little bit. Carbs are the devil's spawn, man.
    Lucifer: Don't blame your weaknesses on me!
    • When the man asks for a lawyer, Lucifer snaps "don't eat him."
  • Maze and Amenadiel raid the guru's house and Maze takes all of his stashed-away Poptarts, which were apparently kept in a safe.
    Maze: I figured it's win-win. I'm saving the evil guru from future fat, and you know ... Poptarts.
    • Lucifer criticizes their theft of the Poptarts as patently ridiculous - only to wait until they leave to pick one up, clearly intending to eat it before Ella interrupts them.

     Episode 9 - Homewrecker 
  • Lucifer takes over the tour bus with his own unique style.
    Lucifer: See that building? The owner came to Los Angeles with ten dollars to his name. Today, he owns the biggest sex club in the city.

    Chloe: ...Okay.
  • Chloe warns Lucifer not to hang a suspect out a window. Lucifer responds "I solemnly promise the man's feet will not leave the ground." Cue the guy falling out a window onto a car behind them.

    Lucifer: Detective, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
    Chloe: I doubt it.

    Linda: Right. Thank you for... all this. Existence.
  • Charlotte telling Dan what he does not realize is the literal truth.

  • Maze has to take a selfie of Amenadiel's disgusted reaction when he sees his mother and Dan kissing.
    • She then proceeds to troll him about following them in order to watch them "do it".

      Amenadiel: I know what they're gonna do, Maze!

     Episode 10 - Quid Pro Ho 
  • For black comedy, Charlotte casually tossing the detonator over her shoulder in disgust when Amenadiel talks her out of blowing up Chloe. Cue his frantic scramble to catch it.
    • Later, he stops by Chloe's place in order to get rid of the bomb, and meets Maze outside. He tries to lie and say he's there for her...but not only does she already know about the bomb, but she managed to attach said bomb to his car when he wasn't looking, steals the detonator, and blows it up. We later see Amenadiel in Linda's office for a therapy session, with the steering wheel on his lap.
  • Again, Chloe is dismayed at how her mom and Lucifer get along so well.
  • Lucifer pretends that he remembers why today is special by repeating what Chloe says after her.

    • Lucifer flirting with the female judge and jurors.

      Lucifer: Well, you want the full story, don't you? I mean, the Devil's in the details.
  • Ella pretends to have figured out Dan slept with Charlotte by various details like a longer blonde hair and lipstick. She then admits she "just noticed your butt pucker" when Charlotte showed up.
  • Lucifer discovers that Dan slept with Charlotte. Cue Lucifer tackling Dan through a wall.
    Lucifer: You slept with my m- Marlotte?! You BASTARD!
    • Before that, Maze tries to get Dan to admit it with a number of lame sex puns.

    • Lucifer reveals he can speak Chinese ("I'm the Devil. I speak everything.") and talks with the leader of the syndicate.
      Dan: What's he saying over there?
      Maze: No idea.
  • Lucifer explains that in order to get the information they need, they need to defeat a rather intimidating martial arts expert. When Dan asks how they're supposed to do that, Lucifer gestures to Maze...but Dan thinks he's pointing at him.
    Dan: Oh, hell no!
    Lucifer: No, no. As much as I'd like to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Douche, I'd actually like to win this. I was pointing at Maze.
    Maze: [gives Dan a friendly shoulder punch] Why not?
    Dan: OK, fine. She's terrifying. But what happens if we lose?
    Lucifer: They kill us. Well, you. Because I'm immortal.
    • Kang begins the fight by waving his swords around, showing off. Maze asks, "You done?" and he nods. Cut to her throwing him out the hole in the wall.
    • The end of the fight qualifies too. Maze has both of Kang's swords to his neck when Lucifer whistles for her to stop. She just looks at him like, "Are you kidding me?"
      Maze: Are you serious?
      Lucifer: Well, I mean, you did get two new toys.
    • This is followed by the woman in charge - who looked utterly serious and intimidating before, and seemed to only speak Chinese - taking one look at how the battle turned out and saying in perfect English, "Well, that sucked."
  • Dan describing his new love interest, Charlotte, as "a Goddess", to praise her—without having a clue that she literally is a Goddess.

  • Lucifer asks Chloe to understand the flight attendant coming between them "and not in a good way."
    Chloe: Lucifer, I'm homicide, not the slut police. Meaning you, not her.
  • When Chloe asks Lucifer what happened in the 5 minutes that Jana was with him right before she was murdered, he reacts very insulted that Chloe might be suggesting that they might have had sex for only 5 minutes, instead of worrying that he might become suspect of a murder because he was the last person who saw Jana.
    Lucifer: You can't be suggesting...
    Chloe: ...that you slept with her?
    Lucifer: No, that I'm a two-pump chump!

    Lucifer: "Ditch the loser from Lux?" That's terrible, she was seeing someone else at Lux?
    • He also takes offense at being called a "DJ."

  • Chloe asks Lucifer to list everyone he's slept with in the past eight weeks. He looks down at her notepad and tells her she'll need a much bigger one.

    • Lucifer's past lovers going into detail about their sexual exploits, involving plenty of Noodle Implements.
      Woman: He even did this thing with a pan flute and a butternut squash...
      Lucifer: I was improvising. I didn't have any zucchinis.
    • Chloe's brief look of smugness after one of Lucifer's exes says that she and Lucifer had no emotional intimacy. Plus the fact that Chloe specifically brings up things that Lucifer used to pamper her, such as bringing dinner and buying burger and fries, as if she wants to confirm if she is someone special to him.
    • Lucifer voicing his disapproval at Dan's fling with his mom. Made even better since Dan's response and Lucifer's little head tilt afterwards are not on the script.
      Lucifer: The last thing I need is a step-Dan.
      (Beat)
      Dan: You say some weird things, man.
  • Maze interrupting Linda's lunch break to rant to her.
    Maze: You ever do something awesome for somebody and they just don't care?
    Linda: I'm a therapist, being taken for granted is in the job description. Like, for example, when a friend uses your lunch break for free therapy and doesn't say "thank you".
    Maze: ...You want me to take care of this friend of yours?
  • Linda tells Maze that she finds her to be more human than a lot of people she knows. Maze's response is to sit bolt upright and demand "Take that back."
  • Lucifer doesn't recognize Suki from her picture.

    [later, on seeing Suki up close, Lucifer still can't place her]
    Lucifer: Darling, could you do this [holds fingers out] and say, "I am not a crook"? No, it's definitely not Sexy Richard Nixon.
  • Lucifer's deranged stalker, Suki. At first he's pleased that someone cares about him, before becoming increasingly disturbed by her.

    Linda: Now I see the resemblance.
    • Before leaving, Charlotte attempts to manipulate Linda into telling Lucifer information on her behalf, who is having none of it:
      Linda: I'm not going to tell him this information for you, if that's what you're asking.
      Charlotte: (smiling sweetly) What if I say "pretty please", hmmm?
      (Linda just glares at her)
      Charlotte: (smile immediately fades) Apparently that's supposed to do something.
  • Dan, Charlotte, and Lucifer all running into each other in the police station.
    Charlotte: (cheerfully) Detective.

    Charlotte: I think that's my cue to leave.

     Episode 13 - A Good Day to Die 
  • Ella showing up late when Lucifer and Chloe call. "You're lucky I remembered to put on pants... eventually."
  • Lucifer and Dan go undercover at an art auction, and Dan tells Lucifer "follow my lead and don't do anything unless I say so". So Lucifer lets them get captured and tied up, simply because Dan didn't tell him otherwise, which leads to this exchange:
    Lucifer: Right, I'm not sure what 'lead' I'm following here, but am I supposed to let them punch me, too?
    Dan: [bloodied and beaten up] What? No! I screwed up, OK, Lucifer? I let my anger get the better of me, and now Chloe's gonna pay for it!
    Lucifer: What, so this isn't just some elaborate game of bloody possum?
    Dan: Of course not!
    Lucifer: Oh. Well, in that case... [breaks free of the handcuffs with no effort whatsoever]
    Dan: [stares in disbelief] Are you kidding me?! You could've gotten out of those this whole time?!
    Lucifer: Of course I could. [stands up and effortlessly beats the crap out of the mooks]
    Dan: Why the hell didn't you stop them from beating the crap out of me?!
    Lucifer: [while still beating them up] Because I promised you I wouldn't do anything without your permission!

  • Lucifer announces to Maze, his mother and Amenadiel that he intends to die, go to Hell and get the formula from the Professor. They all think he's crazy, so he turns and asks another opinion... from Linda, who's sat watching in the corner, overwhelmed.

    Linda: I think... that I followed... about half of that.
    • "Do you...guys do this a lot? Like...celestial planning session?"

  • When the Mother volunteers to go and get Lucifer out of Hell, Maze — who actually refused to kill Lucifer despite volunteering, which led to him killing himself — doesn't waste any time in killing her mid-sentence. Linda's WTF?! look is hysterical.

  • Candy's entrance, stumbling down the stairs in her high-heels.
    Lucifer: I told you to wait in the car.
    Candy: But it's so stuffy in there.
    Lucifer: It's a convertible.
  • The glorious WTF?! faces of everyone when Lucifer introduces Candy as his wife.
    • YMMV on this one. While Dan's reaction is pretty funny, Chloe's reaction is more heartbreaking than it is funny.
  • Lucifer and Dan watch Chloe talk about her horribly immature partner.
    Lucifer: Ouch. I wouldn't take it too personally.
    Dan: Yeah, right. I'm pretty sure it's not me she's talking about.
    Lucifer: Who else could she be talking about?

    Linda: You mean indispensable?
    Candy: No, I got a boob job and it totally expanded my horizons.
  • Maze knows Chloe is upset.
    Maze: You've got that vein in your neck. The same one that pops when I dump dishes into the trash instead of washing them.
  • Chloe's impersonation of Candy (pink streaks in hair and accent) to take shots at Lucifer at a meeting is glorious.
    Chloe: You picked an idiotic bedazzled tweener as your partner.
    Mediator: Candy, there's no name-calling here... even if it's to yourself.
  • Charlotte meeting Candy is absolute gold.
    Candy: Someday I wanna open my own juice bar. Or a tanning salon. Or a combo juice bar and tanning salon!
    Charlotte: You’re speaking and yet I don’t understand a single word.
    Candy: I get that a lot. Why don’t you talk and I’ll listen. I’m a great listener. Like right now, I know exactly what you’re trying to say.
    Charlotte: But I didn’t—-
    Candy: You want what’s best for your son, and you’ll do anything to make sure he’s happy. I want you to know, I got Lucifer’s back. And yours. ‘Cause, you’re my mom now too. We’re family!
    • Followed by...
      Charlotte: She’s a sinister genius.
      Amenadiel: Mother. Come on now.
      Charlotte: Here I thought this Candy was an insipid dullard. But she may be the most formidable opponent I’ve ever faced. I came away with nothing! Not a single crumb of information about Lucifer’s real agenda.
  • At a club, Lucifer sings a version of "Eternal Flame" seemingly for Chloe. Chloe just stands with a look of total annoyance. A woman next to her is waving a lighter back and forth and Chloe pushes her arm down.
    • And it turns out Lucifer was doing this just to flush out a suspect, who gets body-surfed to the stage after Lucifer claims the song was for her.
    • When Lucifer dedicates the song to "a woman who says she doesn't need [him] anymore," a woman in the far background yells, "I need you!" Lucifer certainly does have that effect on people.
  • Lucifer playing the show's theme on Marla's bass. Complete with lyrics he just wrote!
  • The revelation that Candy has been faking all her stupid behavior as part of an act with Lucifer just makes all her antics in the episode even funnier. Especially the part where Charlotte thought she was a "sinister genius," because she was right.
  • Maze blatantly checking out Candy's behind. "Awesome. Lucifer has outdone himself."

     Episode 15 - Deceptive Little Parasite 
  • Lucifer can't believe that Azrael's blade is the Flaming Sword. "But it's so...small and...not flaming."

    • "What am I supposed to do, dip it in some whiskey and light a match?"
    • When Lucifer can't light the blade, Charlotte says that he needs to get angry. Cue Amenadiel punching him in the face.
      Lucifer: Bloody hell!
      Amenadiel: It's worth a shot.
      Lucifer: Right. Maybe Amenadiel should try it? Here, why don't you hold it... (hands him the blade, before taking several steps back) ...and I'll kick you in the-
      (goes to kick Amenadiel in the balls before Charlotte intervenes)

    • Linda makes a point on Lucifer avoiding his feelings.
      Lucifer: Right, you've got that look on your face when you're saying something insightful and waiting for me to figure it out.
  • Chloe and Maze's morning routine: apparently, Chloe makes Maze breakfast as if she's the child in the house.
    • Then, when Chloe starts talking about her problems, Maze puts headphones in and pretends to listen. Chloe figures this out by saying she's "gonna adopt a dozen puppies and let them sleep in [Maze's] bedroom". When Maze doesn't react, Chloe leans forward and yanks out the headphones.
  • Ella reveals she's seeing a therapist. "I know, I'm so upbeat all the time but up here? A lot of darkness." Lucifer gives a wicked smile of "Really?"

  • Lucifer reading a children's book: 'Your Feelings and You'. Right in the middle of Lux.
    • Then, three women approach him, dressed as detectives, ready to give him the time of his life. When Lucifer notices their resemblance to Chloe, he immediately realizes that his mother is behind it.
      Charlotte: Since anger didn't work, I wanted to incite a... different emotion.
      Lucifer: A foursome isn't an emotion, Mum!
    • Lucifer then sends the ladies away, stating it'll be hard for him to enjoy a "Triple Decker" with his mother's hands all over it.
    • Then, before he leaves, he gives his mother the book about feelings, saying that she could "learn a few things".
  • After getting off the phone with Ella, Chloe turns around...and jumps when she finds Lucifer standing in the middle of her apartment, smirking. What's funnier is that we saw the spot where he was standing moments before, and it was completely empty.
    Chloe: I am gonna tie a bell around your neck at some point.
    Lucifer: Oh, sounds like a fun bit of foreplay.
  • Lucifer convinces Chloe to let him take Trixie to school...and then he takes her to the private school, having convinced her to pretend to be his daughter for the day.
    Lucifer: I can take the little shhhh...sugar plum fairy to school.
    • There's something about the way she so smoothly introduces herself as Trixie Morningstar.
    • During the tour, Trixie takes Lucifer's hand. Lucifer tries to subtly shake her off.
      Lucifer: Do we have to touch? Don't you have a leash, or something, for when you go out?
      Trixie: Do you want to sell this or not?
    • During the class about emotions, Lucifer wants to ask a question, but the teacher wants one of the children to ask. Lucifer quickly sticks Trixie's hand in the air.
      Lucifer: Hmph, so much for being progressive, they're horribly ageist!
    • Just Lucifer in general sitting in a circle of children and seeming to be the only person paying attention to what the teacher has to say.
    • What did Lucifer promise Trixie in return? She gets to drive his car. When Chloe puts her foot down, Lucifer quietly suggests to Trixie that the driving lesson will have to wait until her mother's not looking.
  • Amenadiel tries to make the sword light up by waving it around. Of course, he has his back to the elevator, and when Lucifer walks in it looks like Amenadiel's doing something else entirely...
  • Maze playing the part of Chloe's wife while she investigates Starford. She gets a little too into it for Chloe.
    Maze: She has a gun and everything. REAL pistol in the sack.
  • When they find the culprit, there's a long emotion scene, and they manage to talk said culprit down... right before Maze tackles the culprit mid-sentence from off-screen.
  • The ditzy PE teacher realizes he's the father of one of the students... several minutes after it was stated outright.

     Episode 16 - God Johnson 
  • Linda is hoping that Lucifer has reconsidered his plan of having God and his mother duking it out:
    Linda: God and his ex, having a fight to the death? Sounds kind of bad for, you know, humanity.
    Lucifer: (dismissively) Oh, you'll probably be fine.
  • Amenadiel reveals that he enjoys watching cat videos.
  • Lucifer has doubts God Johnson is in fact his father.
    Ella: Come on, guys. Is it really so crazy? I mean, what if God was one of us?
    Chloe: Just a slob, like one of us.
    Ella: Exactly. Or just a—-
    Chloe: Just a stranger, on a bus.
    Lucifer: My father would never use public transport. That song is completely unrealistic.
    Ella: What song?
    • Later, Ella is singing along to it when Chloe interrupts her:
      Ella: Oh my God, Chloe, this song is so good!
      Chloe: Yeah, yeah, people really seemed to like it in 1995.
  • Wanting to have another talk with God Johnson, Lucifer goes to the asylum and asks for a room for the night, preferably one with a view.
    Receptionist: Are you joking? This is a psychiatric hospital.
    Lucifer: Apologies, I'm skipping ahead. Uh, I am the one and only Lucifer Morningstar.
    Receptionist: (stares blankly at him)
    Lucifer: The Devil. Dark Lord? (beat) Oh, for goodness sake, Beelzebub!
    Receptionist: (continues staring)
    Lucifer: (frustrated) Look, I clearly need to be committed right away!
    Receptionist: Yeah, we're at near capacity, pal. So unless you're a danger to yourself or others—
    Lucifer: (sighs, grabs the receptionist by the collar, and smushes his face on the window pane) How's that?
    Receptionist: [muffled] Great.
    Lucifer: [beaming smile] Lovely.
  • Maze tries to get Chloe on a friendly side.
    Maze: You and I are flowing, Chlo. Same page.
    Chloe: Nope, different books altogether.
  • Lucifer is introduced to one of the patients when the latter's underwear lands on his face.
  • After witnessing God Johnson's Healing Hands and finds it proof he may be his Father, Lucifer smiles and what initially looks to be a touching reunion is thwarted as the audience watches the Devil calls God a "son of a bitch" and punches him in the face.
  • Lucifer's hilariously childish drawing of Chloe, complete with huge boobs.
  • Linda is bowled over with the realisation that she's just met God... to the extent that Lucifer has to wheel her out of the room in a wheelchair while she breathes into a paper bag.
    Linda: Okay, so that was "God" God back there? As in capital "G"? I didn't bow. I should have bowed.
    Lucifer: You should have spit in His face.
    Linda: Yeah, I'm not gonna do that.
    • Later, Linda's absolutely starstruck expression when she shakes God's hand.
  • Linda realizes that Lucifer is trying to "Parent Trap" Charlotte and God.
  • Charlotte musing humanity isn't all bad.
    Charlotte: They did make vodka. Rollercoasters. Triple creme brie.
  • Lucifer talks to the patients about "Operation Help Lucifer Escape."
    God Johnson: A little on the nose, son.
    Lucifer: You are literally the judgiest person in the universe right now, Dad!
  • One patient doesn't want to escape because "we get pudding here." Lucifer uses his mojo on him and he admits he wants to burn the place down.
    Lucifer: (wielding a lighter) Then fire away.
    • Someone else wants to turn the lights on and off. And someone else wants to throw underwear at people.
    Lucifer: (points) Laundrey room.
  • Lucifer and God Johnson calmly strolling through an asylum riot in slo-mo, set to "Blackout".
    • Funny Background Event: Amidst the chaos, one patient is calmly sitting in a chair, reading a book and gives Lucifer and Johnson a little salute as they pass him.
  • Chloe makes the mistake of letting Maze make reservations for a "dinner" with the doctor.
    Chloe: Here?
    Maze: Your bedroom's here. Where else are we going to have sex?
    Chloe: Maze, for the last time, we are not having a threesome!
    Maze: I'm OK to watch.
    • Maze opens the door to find Amenadiel there.
      Chloe: Oh, an orgy? Definitely off the table.
  • Amenadiel's awkward attempt at socialising with Dr. Garrity.
    Amenadiel: ...I like the shape of your head.
    • Before that, Amenadiel asks Dr. Garrity if he's going to eat the remains of the pizza slice left on his plate. While there are three more slices inside the box. You get the feeling that he's intentionally messing with the doctor.
  • Dan's pudding gets stolen. Again.
  • Charlotte knees God in the balls. That is all.
  • Lucifer is drugged with a massive dose of Haldol, which only works because Chloe is still in the building. This leads to some hilarious moments when the killer shows up dressed as Santa Claus.
    Lucifer: (drugged, sees the killer enter in a Santa mask) Santa, you're here as well? Oh, I'm afraid I've been a naughty boy!

     Episode 17 - Sympathy for the Goddess 
  • Amenadiel comes and warns Lucifer that he might be in danger.
    Lucifer: Is it the Yakuza? The Nephilim? One Million Moms? note 
  • Lucifer is keeping an eye on Charlotte while she strikes a deal with one of her clients. Amenadiel doesn't think she needs help.
    Amenadiel: She seems to be doing just fine.
    [Charlotte brings out a brief case and puts it on the table]
    Lucifer: That's not the money, is it?
    Amenadiel: Of course not. She wouldn't bring it to their meeting.
    (Charlotte opens the case, revealing the money)
    Lucifer: Oh no! Course not! I mean, that would be absurd, wouldn't it?
    Amenadiel: She's just showing it to him. I mean, it's not like she's gonna hand it to him before she... [sees her handing her client the case] ...gets the piece. That's great.
    • Charlotte just looks so pleased with herself, and doesn't understand why Lucifer is worried.
      Charlotte: He's a client of mine, darling. I don't think he'd be that foolhardy. [the client doesn't return, and she looks around] I'm sure he'll be right back.
    • When they find the client dead in the back room, Lucifer and Amenadiel just look annoyed...while Charlotte looks pleased that he didn't con her.
  • Maze enters Linda's office to find her with a man. She instantly pulls out her knives until Linda tells her to put them away. At which point, Linda informs her the guy was the Chairman of the Ethics review board. Maze naturally pulls the knives back out as Linda tells her stop.
  • Finding a clue in an ancient language, Charlotte gives it to Lucifer, only to have him claim not to read it.
    Charlotte: But you speak every language!
    Lucifer: Speak, not read! I've always found tongues more useful than books.
  • When Lucifer finds out that Charlotte told Chloe the truth about their relationship, he awkwardly tries to work out exactly what Charlotte said without admitting to anything.
    Charlotte: Children always find new ways to test us.
    Lucifer: She's talking about Amenadiel.
    Charlotte: Put us through Hell.
    Lucifer: That one's me.
  • Lucifer playing with his chair at the precinct next to Chloe's desk.
    Lucifer: You know, I should get my own desk.
    Chloe: Not happening.
    Lucifer: Right next to yours will probably be best.
    Chloe: Definitely not happening.
    • Chloe suggests that he helps her with paperwork. Lucifer loses his smile, and thinks that maybe a desk in the far corner would be better.
    • Charlotte trying to lie to Chloe with Lucifer standing behind the latter, coaching her on what to say...and Charlotte completely misunderstanding his signals. It must be seen to be believed.
  • Just the expression on Lucifer's face when his mother insists on staying and helping them with the case.
  • When they find the killer's phone, the home screen is two circles with dots in them.
    Ella: The home screen is...two eyes?
    Charlotte: Human female breasts?
    Lucifer: No, that is a woman's perfectly freckled rump.
    Chloe: So our lead on the killer is a pair of...butt boob eyes? It's a great start.
  • The entire sequence of Charlotte and Chloe is gold.
    • Charlotte claiming Chloe's outfit is like "pajamas."
    • On why Chloe needs her:
      Charlotte: Because I'm the best.
      Chloe: At getting criminals off.
      Charlotte: Well that's not true: I haven't slept with any of my clients.
    • Checking on a suspect...
      Chloe: I'm not going to sleep with him, Charlotte.
      Charlotte: Not with that posture, you're not. Fine, I'll do it.
  • Maze ranting on Lucifer.
    Maze: He is a backstabbing, selfish, narcissistic little devil. He’s greedy—
    Chairman: Is there a point to this?
    Lucifer: Yes, I'm wondering the same thing.
  • Lucifer and Maze finally have it out and ready to fight as the show cuts to commercial. When it gets back, they're both bloody as hell and need to "take a break" by sitting amid the smashed up stone outdoor furniture for a chat.
    • They then go to see Linda, both still bloodied up and Linda asks if they killed the Chairman. "Not that he didn't deserve it..."
    • Linda then takes advantage of no longer being a therapist to outright tell Lucifer how Maze is pissed at him.
  • After they find out that Charlotte is Lucifer's "step-mom", Chloe proceeds to tease Dan that "he'd be like Lucifer's dad" if he married Charlotte.
  • Ella attempts to hug Charlotte, and Charlotte stops her by pressing her palm against Ella's head awkwardly.

     Episode 18 - The Good, the Bad and the Crispy 
  • Linda fixes Charlotte's hole with... duct tape.
    • Before she actually fixes it, she holds up a first aid kit, looks at it, and then tosses it aside.
  • Lucifer talks to Chloe.
    Lucifer: You've worked with emotionally fragile men, right?
    Chloe: You're self-aware today.
  • When told that the victim had all his hair shaved, Lucifer notes that the killer probably had a 'fear of hair'.
    Lucifer: Lots of fun whenever they get to Hell, plenty of wigs involved.
  • Trixie giving Lucifer and Maze "check-ups" and wrapping Maze's head in a bandage.
    Trixie: Did you slip on a banana peel, too?
    Lucifer: What?
    Trixie: I'm afraid you're gonna need surgery.
    Maze: Don't fight it, the kid's fierce.
  • Lucifer and Maze discuss the plot while Trixie plays doctor.
    Lucifer: Then we can get the pendant, assemble the sword before Mum spews light everywhere.
    Trixie: You don't have to speak in code. I can handle adult stuff.
  • Trixie gives Maze a lollipop as a reward for being a good patient.
    Lucifer: Love me a lolli.
    Trixie: Sorry, wussies don't get any.
    (Trixie & Maze fist-bump).
  • Lucifer saying "Good..." when Ella tells him that she can't find evidence on Chet's murder. And when Chloe steps in, he adds "...ness me, that is awful".
  • Lucifer and Chloe find two people (The Lyon sisters) dressed in bright yellow rubber overalls and gas masks carrying a corpse on a stretcher.
    Ava Lyon: This is not what it looks like.
    Lucifer: What? Minions' day out?
  • Dan's reaction when Lucifer comes up behind him with Azrael's blade is possibly the funniest thing in the entire episode.
    Lucifer: (comes up behind Dan, the blade in full view) Hello, Daniel.
    Dan: (turns to him, sees the blade and freaks out, jumping several steps back, offscreen) Whoa! Whoa! She [Charlotte] kissed me!
    Lucifer: Literally have no idea what you're talking about.
  • Maze tazers Amenadiel mid sentence.
    Amenadiel: You see, I thought I had fallen, and I - (Taser crackles, Amenadiel falls)
    Maze: I don't get paid by the hour.
    ...(later)
    Lucifer: Where's your pretty necklace?
    Amenadiel: Oh, I've put it in a safe place.
    Lucifer: Ah. Keister it, did you?
    Maze: Nope. Already checked. Not there.
    Lucifer: Lovely.
    • Its actual location is in Dan's pants. Amenadiel put it in his pocket while they were at open mike night. Oh, and how Lucifer finds it is by waving the knife around trying to get the two to attract to one another. The way the piece moves around almost makes it seem like something else.
  • The way Lucifer and Amenadiel stammer and stumble over their suggestion that their mother find someplace else to go, like two kids trying to awkwardly suggest how Mummy and Daddy maybe should have separate bedrooms so they don't have to hear them fight all the time.

Season 3

    Episode 1 - They're Back, Aren't They? 
  • The opening scene is comedy gold. Lucifer stands directly in the middle of the road, and the guy driving the van only manages to stop in time.
    Lucifer: Are you blind?!
    • Lucifer then tries to get in the van...only he can't get his wings through the door. He tucks them away again, while the driver just stares blankly. Then Lucifer asks for a ride back to LA.
      Lucifer: [looking in the mirror] At least I'm healing fast... Do you have any aloe vera?
      Driver: I ain't going back to LA!
    • The fact that Lucifer is asking for a ride home, when he can probably just fly back.
    • Then Lucifer figures out that not only did the guy steal the van and is on the run from the cops, he's also the jewellery thief Lucifer confronted in the first episode of season 2.
      Driver: You got me put in jail!
      Lucifer: I think that one's on you, sir. I wasn't the one with the gun and the ski mask.
    • This:
      Lucifer: I know you don't want to shoot me, Mr... What's your name?
      Driver: Said "out", bitch!
      Lucifer: Mr. Said Out Bitch, tell me...
    • How does the scene end? With Lucifer returning the van to the cops...after having stolen the man's clothes, leaving him running around the desert in his underpants.
    • Also, when the cops ask Lucifer for Chloe's name and badge number, he doesn't know the latter.
      Lucifer: She's a 34B if that helps!
  • Lucifer invites Linda back to his penthouse for a meal. He says he feels guilty for what happened to her, but Linda sees right through him.
    Lucifer: I just want to take care of you. Is that so hard to believe?
    Linda: Yes. Out with it. What's going on?
  • Lucifer asks Linda to cut off his wings.
    Lucifer: Come on, snip, snip, Bob's your uncle!
    Linda: And God's your father.
  • Lucifer arrives at the precinct, loudly announcing that the search party for him can be called off...but no one, not even Chloe, questioned his absence, because it was only two days long.
  • Lucifer apparently told Amenadiel what happened with their mother via text. Emojis, to be precise.
    Lucifer: Didn't you get my text?
    Amenadiel: What, you meant this string of nonsensical emojis? [Pulls out phone, points to emojis on screen] Fire, sword, donut, spaceman! Clock, dancing lady, flashlight, thumbs up! How am I supposed to know what that means?
    Lucifer: [Takes phone] I ignited the flaming sword, used it to cut a hole in space and time, Mum's light flooded through it and it closed up behind her! All good!
  • Marcus is the embodiment of The Comically Serious.
    • His first meeting with Lucifer. When Lucifer holds out his hand to shake:
      Marcus: There was an investigation last year. We interviewed, what was it? Ninety-two of your sexual partners? I think I'll refrain from physical contact, if you don't mind.
    • Then:
      Marcus: You don't seem reckless. Narcissistic, hedonistic, that I see.
      Lucifer: Well, thank you very much.
      Marcus: Not a compliment. Your file's as long as my Johnson.
      Lucifer: Quick read, then?
      Marcus: Hardly.
      Lucifer: Well I for one don't need a file to ascertain that you haven't even had a snog in ages, have you?
      Marcus: ...Accurate.
    • The fact that Ella is clearly fan-girling over him.
      Ella: Isn't he amazing? We just had the best conversation over the doughnuts I bought him. [Lucifer, Chloe and Dan all stare at her] ...Everyone... Not just him. I'm not...kissing ass, or anything... Doughnuts for everyone. Doughnuts... [quickly leaves]
    • He keeps getting Dan's name wrong, and outright says that Dan is expendable. He even tells him to go get himself kidnapped.
  • Lucifer informed Amenadiel of their mother's final fate in a text. A text filled with nothing but emojis.
    • Then, when Lucifer leaves and says he'll text Amenadiel some info later, Amenadiel yells after him, "Words this time, please!"
  • The expression on Amenadiel's face when Ella gives him her typical "hello" hug.
  • Lucifer hears Chloe mention a suspect having gotten written up for buying a tiger. "Those are illegal? Too bad."
    • The two then check out the man's hotel:
      Lucifer: Imagine, buying your own establishment just to justify your decadent lifestyle. That's absurd.
      Chloe: Yeah. Absurd.
  • In a scene long overdue, when a suspect meets our heroes, a woman claiming to be a cop but recognizable as an actress from a memorable movie nude scene and a guy calling himself Lucifer, he naturally assumes it's some sort of prank.
  • The way Lucifer matter-of-factly corrects Josh's apparent misnaming the movie Chloe once starred topless in, while Chloe does an eye roll in the background because to her it's Old Shame.
    Josh:... the girl from Hot Tub Hotel
    Lucifer:Hot Tub High School; she wasn't in the sequel.
  • Lucifer purposely gets himself kidnapped. The taser just tickles him, and when the two guys walk away to check the taser is working, Lucifer unties himself off-screen and appears directly next to the guys, scaring the crap out of them.

    Episode 2 - The One With The Baby Carrot 
  • While seducing a woman and taking her to his bedroom, she takes her top off and Lucifer suddenly has what can only be described as "a wingboner."
    "For the record I usually don't suffer from premature... unfurling."
    • His partner is into it, thinking it's cosplay, and offers to dress up as the Devil in return, which further spoils his mood. "I have no desire to have sex with myself. Not right now, anyway."
  • From his session with Dr. Martin:
    Linda: It's not like you invented the concept of giving away favors.
    [Lucifer gives her an "Oh, really?" expression]
    Linda: Ha! Yep, forgot who I was talking to. I suppose you did.
  • When Chloe talks about the Sinnerman used as blame for bad actions, Lucifer complains "another thing he stole from me!" He then backtracks and states that the Sinnerman can keep that part of him.
  • Lucifer reads the comic's notes.
    Lucifer: "Avocado? How about avocad-ont?" Is it rude to throw tomatoes at a corpse?
  • Dan is offended when Lucifer compares stand up comedy to improv and starts a monologue on how they are completely different things.
  • Ella's Fangirl over Bobby Lowe, even when she sees what a Jerkass he is.
    Ella: God, he just called her honey, that's so sweet.
  • Chloe and Lucifer's utter bafflement at Bobby Lowe's show of him talking to an imaginary friend turned puppet.
  • Lucifer grabs a puppet and waves it about. Suddenly, a gun shot goes off as Lucifer stares in disbelief, realizing a gun was inside the puppet.
    Lucifer: Don't worry, everyone! No one was hurt!
    [Bobby collapses on the ground with a gunshot wound in his arm. Lucifer looks at him and holds up the puppet]
    Lucifer: He did it.
  • "Prostate exams for all the puppets!"
  • Ella's Broken Pedestal moment when Bobby confesses to stealing his entire act.
    Ella: I defended you! J'accuse, Bobby Lowe! J'accuse!
  • During a session with Linda, Lucifer repeats something the killer of the week said during her Motive Rant, but without any context.
    Lucifer: Everyone has itchy butts.
    Linda: [confused] What?
    Lucifer: It's something a woman said before I punched her in the face.

    Episode 3 - Mr. & Mrs. Mazikeen Smith 
  • An episode about Maze going to Canada to collect a bounty. Naturally, the whole thing goes off the rails, dragging the rest of the cast into the mess. Including Dan (who's supposed to be on vacation), and if Trixie had her way, she'd be along for the ride.
    • When a worried Lucifer finds out that Dan tagged along, his immediate response is, "That's worse!"
    • The fact that Chloe is tracking Maze the entire time, and tells both Trixie and Lucifer without any humour that she's more worried about Canada than Maze.
      Chloe: [to Lucifer] You're the reason Canada is in danger?
    • Chloe's tracking Maze by following police reports about violent incidents, and comments that she's pretty sure a "bear attack" is actually Maze's work.
    • Lucifer says later that Maze is probably trying to prove that she can scare an entire country.
  • The opening flashes back to Maze and Linda sharing drinks.
    Linda: How do you do this all the time?
    Maze: How do you not?
    Linda: Fear of liver failure, mostly.
  • Maze complains about her life.
    Maze: I mean, I was getting a little bored with the constant drinking, violence, sex, you know how it is.
    Linda: Yes, of course, all those things, all the time, for me.
  • Trixie literally putting herself into Maze's luggage to try and go along.
  • Maze is jarred that the niceness of Canadians undermines her threats.
    Maze: I can break your fingers.
    Clerk: Well, gee, I can't give my wife backrubs then.
  • Lucifer and Chloe question the crook's lawyer who claims to have no idea where the guy is. Chloe gives Lucifer a look, he frowns then goes "oh, really?" with a wave of his hand. Chloe gives a nod and Lucifer smiles to do the "deepest desire" trick to get the lawyer to talk.
  • Maze tries to get more information on her bounty by taking the place of a masseuse and massaging the bounty's newest girlfriend. The girlfriend is happy to chat about her newest boyfriend, who is apparently secretly a prince, all while complimenting Maze on her amazing massage.
    Girlfriend: ...are you supposed to be massaging my boobs?
    Maze: I can stop if you want me to.
    Girlfriend: I didn't say that.
  • Maze does a video chat to Linda to get advice on a gunshot wound for her mark.
    Maze: How do I keep this human from dying?
    Linda: Take him to a hospital, that's how! How many times do I have to tell you I'm Not That Kind of Doctor?
    • Linda asks if the bullet went through. Maze figures it out by sticking her hand into the wound.
  • Lucifer is enjoying the show.
    Maze: I'm good at dismembering humans, how hard can it be to put one back together?
    Lucifer: Maybe you should listen to him, Maze. Everyone has the right to refuse treatment.
  • When Lucifer persuades Chloe to stop tracking Maze, he briefly bops her nose. A funny moment not only in-universe, but also out, since this and Chloe's reaction afterwards ("Don't touch my nose!") are completely unscripted.

    Episode 4 - What Would Lucifer Do? 
  • Lucifer asks his conquest what her deepest desire is. Her answer to "have sex in the ball pit of a Chuck E. Cheese" throws even him.
  • Lucifer confronts the husband of said conquest.
    Lucifer: Relax, not a thief. Your valuables are untouched. Well, unless you consider your wife a valuable in which case I've touched her a lot. Twice this morning.
  • Lucifer excuses not knowing this was a judge's house as "I was blindfolded by your wife's underwear."
  • The judge's deepest desire? To no longer be with a hot, nubile, hard-partying, sex-loving younger woman but rather to get back with his much smarter ex-wife.
  • All episode, Decker wonders why Lt. Pierce won't make her the representative for the police union, as he turned down her request immediately, and declined to give her an explanation when she asked. He eventually tells her that the position is for has-been, useless cops with no hope of advancement... and then the two of them have to keep a straight face when Dan shows up to thank Lt. Pierce for the opportunity, and tries to make Chloe feel better about not getting it.
  • Lucifer riding on a horse. Nuff said.
  • Amenadiel's attempts to act like Lucifer. His pick-up lines leave much to be desired, and no one will give him the time of day. Then a girl takes interest in him... and the next day, he's in jail. Turns out the girl was a prostitute, and he didn't know that. Dan has a good laugh at his expense before bailing him out.
    • Amenadiel eventually figured out that the woman was a prostitute, but it took Dan pointing it out for him to realize that her "cousin" was actually her pimp. ("Hardly any familial resemblance...")
  • Lucifer gives a lecture to the young delinquents that turns into a lesson on drug dealing. Amazingly, this leads him to the discovery of a weed farm on the camp grounds, which eventually leads to the true motive behind the murder.
    • Before long, Lucifer is helping the group figure out how to pull their drug operation off with helpful lessons.
    • When one of the girls is questioned by Chloe, she refuses to speak without a lawyer present. Lucifer happily says he taught her that.

     Episode 5 - Welcome Back, Charlotte Richards 
  • Lucifer thinks that a swear jar means that Chloe pays Trixie every time the latter swears. When Chloe clarifies it, Lucifer is more impressed that she "extorts money from your own child."
    • Lucifer then teaches Trixie some "loophole" swear words.
      Lucifer: In my defense, "motherflunker" was entirely the little deviant's creation, and very clever of her, I might add.
  • While also a bit sad, it's also funny how Dan doesn't grasp that Charlotte literally has no idea who he is whenever he tries to hit on her.
  • Lucifer follows a hot model into a shoot designed to look like Heaven with scantily clad ladies wearing fluffy wings amid clouds.
    Lucifer: Not at all accurate. But I approve.
  • When Chloe and Lucifer first arrive at the studio, Lucifer is distracted by trying to reach Charlotte Richards on his phone. With a little mixing-up of the studio stage they're heading for, Chloe finally gets Lucifer's attention elsewhere.
    Lucifer: Sixty-nine?! W-.. Where?!
  • The director assumes that Chloe is one of the models.
    Director: Why are your clothes still on?!
    Lucifer: I ask myself that all the time.
  • Lucifer does the "deepest desire" trick on the director, who admits that she wants to stop the shoot.
    Grace: It distracts from how my pudding tastes like crap!
    Lucifer: Well, that's an odd choice of flavors.
  • Completely misunderstanding Dan's talk of how "close" she and Lucifer were, Charlotte tries to seduce him. Hilarity Ensues.
    Luficer: What in Dad's name are you doing?!

     Episode 6 - Vegas With Some Radish 
  • Lucifer and Ella going on a road trip to Vegas to save Candy. Hilarity Ensues is the least of it.
  • Chloe is about to blow out a birthday cake in the station... and out comes a huge cake with a male stripper. Naturally, Dan assumes Lucifer was behind it, but he insists that he can't take credit. Instead, it's Ella.
    • Meanwhile, Lucifer is holding up a pair of red and blue police lights at his chest.
      Ella: What can I say? (gestures to herself) Big surprise, little package!
      Lucifer: (checking out stripper) Big package, by the looks of it!
  • Lucifer's idea of a fond goodbye to Chloe.
    Lucifer: Just concentrate on getting older!
  • Lucifer pointing out that the corpse believed to be Candy has dainty feet (since Candy has huge feet, it can't be her). Ella thinks that Lucifer has a foot fetish and is getting off at the weirdest time.
  • Ella tries "Pig Latin" to get Lucifer to be quiet about the victim not being Candy.
    Lucifer: I'm sorry, is that German? Because if so, it's awful, and I should know. Hitler was a talker. Well, a screamer.
  • We find out how Lucifer and Candy met: She robbed him of his wallet and ring while singing to him. Instead of being upset, he's actually proud of her. Then he shamelessly pulls the ring from her cleavage.
  • Ella enters a home.
    Lucifer: They teach lockpicking in forensic class?
    Ella: No, middle school.
  • Lucifer is appalled at Louis's decorations.
    Lucifer: Even if he's not guilty of murder, this collection alone warrants execution!
  • Ella notes that Louis' suicide has been staged.
    Lucifer: Typical Vegas, even the suicides are fake.
  • Ella's attempt at a Brooklyn accent pretending to be a statue seller.
  • Chloe and Linda getting completely hammered on Lucifer's stash of drink and dancing around wildly, Chloe in shirt and panties and glasses, mocking Lucifer's accent.

  • Linda is examining Lucifer's bookshelf and notices an unusually old book, which turns out to be a copy of Hamlet autographed by William Shakespeare with a note: "Thanks for the punch-up. Will." She hastily stuffs it back in the shelf.
  • Lucifer's sheer delight when he learns that Ella is a legendary card-counter in Vegas, which is the reason she hates being there.
  • Lucifer pulls the "deepest desire" trick on the victim's wife, who confesses that she wants the pro golfer at her table. She's hoping to get "a hole in one."
  • Chloe and Linda rationalizing breaking into Lucifer's safe. Cut to Dan, who wasn't there before.
    Linda: Maybe "ravishing", I mean, "radish" is code for "Help!"
    Chloe: Yes! Maybe... Maybe that's why he skipped town. 'Cause someone's after him, and it'd be irresponsible for us not to open this thing.
    Dan: Or... maybe you two just had too much to drink, you're too curious to leave well enough alone, which is why you hauled my ass out here.
    Chloe: Does that mean you're not gonna help us?
    Dan: I didn't say that. [starts up drill with an eager look on his face]
  • Dan's complete failure in breaking the safe open. He's about as elegant with the power-drill as a As-Seen-On-TV presenter intentionally fumbling a simple task, and all he accomplishes is defacing Lucifer's ancient Sumerian wall.
  • Lucifer in a red blanket sharing ice cream with Candy. He then "proposes" to her, causing her to spit in his face.
  • Lucifer tells Candy that Louis' wife didn't kill him, as "the woman has as much passion as a protein bar."
  • Lucifer's plan to flush out the killer at a nightclub? Him doing "Luck Be a Lady" on the piano while Ella is among his "Morningstar" showgirl dancers.
    • Ella does a high kick and instantly moans in pain. She also ends up smacking her boa into Lucifer's face while dancing.
      • This did not go unnoticed by Candy.
        Ella: Any suspicious behavior?
        Candy: Nothing except your high kick.
        Ella: Hey, you try dancing with a .22 strapped to your thigh!
  • Lucifer's gift for Chloe: A necklace containing the bullet that she shot him with.
    Lucifer: Well, I thought since I'd never likely penetrate you, I'd commemorate the one time you penetrated me.

  • Lucifer introduces himself to Reese saying he's noticed Reese staring at him, and he knows why: Reese wants to sleep with him.

  • Reese finds a woman tied up and gagged on Lucifer's bed and makes to free her, removing the gag— of course she's not there against her will, she and Lucifer were about to have some fun. Before Reese and Lucifer leave, she asks Reese to put the gag back.
    • Then serves as a Brick Joke shortly after when Lucifer goes for the Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique on a suspect because he doesn't want to waste time talking while he has his lady friend waiting for him back at Lux.
    • As Reese is staring off into space trying to process the incident, Lucifer seeks to assure him there are no hard feelings.
      Lucifer: Look, I know why you're upset. You thought you had a nice, juicy scoop for your paper. And I don't blame you; you're just doing your job. Unfortunately for you, the only juicy thing here is the, uh... Watermelon Willies. They're pretty good. You should try one.
      Reese: ...I'm allergic to watermelon.
  • Reese puts a picture of Charlotte Richards/Goddess on his whiteboard, suspecting she's Lucifer's lover. Later in the episode we see he's expanded his guesses to "Lover", "Sister" and "Step-Mom" and then just writes "WTF?" under those three.
  • Lucifer complains that the comments he's posted on an article about roosters of unusual size on the local newspaper's website keep getting pulled because he was posting pictures of his... yeah.
  • It takes Lucifer an entire year to figure out that he's the guy Reese wants to destroy, even after Reese shoots him in front of Linda, whom he has revealed to be his ex-wife.
  • After Reese shoots Lucifer, to no avail, the latter is more upset about Reese ruining his suit than trying to kill him.

  • Lucifer teaching Chloe how to be like himself is comedy gold.
    • He uses Ken and Barbie dolls, and has his Ken "die" of boredom from her talk.
    • Lucifer describes her laugh as "like a demented witch on crack!"
  • When Ella is trying to avoid Charlotte Richards, we get treated to a juxtaposition of Charlotte smiling and waving, while sinster music plays. The entire scene is shot as if Ella is trying to escape a murderer in a slasher film.

    Ella: (expression of utter terror) Oh crap!
  • A suspect sighs "Thank God" that Chloe is a cop and not paparazzi.
    Lucifer: The things Dad gets credit for.
  • The suspect pleads that he's innocent.
    Lucifer: Well, you're an overpaid DJ, so that's up for debate.
  • Linda quotes Oscar Wilde... and Lucifer groans about how "I'd have never fed Oscar that line if I knew how often people would quote it back to me."
    • Linda naturally wants more details on Oscar, and Lucifer starts with "Well, he was straight when I first met him."

     Episode 9 - The Sinnerman 
  • Lucifer trolling Dr. Linda:
    Linda: Okay, so, how do you angels work? I know Amenadiel can slow time, and your other brother Uriel could predict patterns. So why is your gift desire?
    Lucifer: Well, that's a good question, actually, I suppose. When I first went to angel school, they sorted us into different houses for different powers.
    Linda: There's a school for angels?
    Lucifer: No. There's no Hogwarts in the sky.
  • Lucifer defending being back in the "favor" business.
    Lucifer: Granting favors defines me! You wouldn't ask Superman not to fly, or a Kardashian not to selfie?
    • The "Superman" is also a Shout-Out to Smallville, which starred Tom Welling (who plays Pierce) and had a "no flights, no tights" rule.
  • Asked if he got a kid into the mob, Lucifer claims he "may have gotten him an internship."
  • Maze didn't rescue Lucifer... she just tracked him down to scream at him about ignoring her earlier. And then she locks him right back into the freezer again.
    • Maze refuses to free Lucifer from the freezer until he listens to what she has to say, then proceeds to vent about her suspicions that Amenadiel and Linda are a couple because she walked in on them talking in her office. Lucifer reminds her that talking to people in her office is literally Linda's job.

     Episode 10 - The Sin Bin 
  • A massive party is at Lux's.
    Lucifer: Nothing screams weekend like tequila and scantily-clad women. And tequila.

    Ella: It's like a master class in ass-whup with a minor in whatevs.
    • Her reaction to hearing that the Sinnerman killed Pierce's brother is that "he needs a hug." Chloe has to literally hold her back.
  • Lucifer takes in the female roller derby.

    Dan: Oh. I see. My condolences. (hanging up and looking to Trixie) Well, sweetie, you won't be staying with Mrs. Baczynski today. Or ever again.
  • Chloe's method to distract Pierce? Sic Ella on him. Her attempts at soothing/seduction have to be seen to be believed.
  • After Lucifer and Chloe execute their plan, Pierce appears in the driver's seat of their getaway truck.
  • Lucifer makes a big show of waving to Maze, who makes a hot entrance... then realizes that the Sinnerman is blind.
  • Dan upset about the entire thing.
    Dan: Lucifer plants a bomb at my desk, and I’m the creepy one?
    Chloe: Um, actually, that was me. Sorry. The bomb was fake.
    Dan: Wow. Okay. Human heads, explosives. Can someone send me, I don’t know, a muffin basket next time? That’d be nice.
  • Maze is Hell's most brutal torturer. The first thing she tries when torturing the Sinnerman? Play Nickelback on repeat.
  • At the end, after Lucifer has stabbed Pierce, he just sits down at the bar and has a drink while he waits, looking only mildly annoyed that it's taking so long.
  • And once Pierce pulls the knife out of his chest, he just sits down next to Lucifer with a sigh.

     Episode 11 - City of Angels? 
  • Lucifer walks the streets in a 1970s disco outfit, happy how he looks... until a young woman says "my grandfather wore something like that."

  • Amenadiel warns Lucifer not to "expose humanity to divinity."
    Lucifer: Then don't sit on the couch, I left plenty of divinity lying there.

  • Amenadiel initially tries to get the cops to help with his stolen necklace, while wearing a too-small shirt from one of Lucifer's conquests that says "If you're rich I'm single." He finds Officer Chloe Decker, and gives her all the information she thinks she'll need for her "quest" (including insisting on pronouncing the street name correctly using a language that's at least a few centuries out of date).
    Chloe: Estimated value of the necklace?
    Amenadiel: Well, it's not of this world... let's just say "priceless beyond measure."
    Chloe: I'm gonna put down forty dollars.
  • Chloe muses on the Jack 'O Lantern mask the man was wearing: "Where can I find this Mr. O'Lantern?"
  • Lucifer is delighted upon hearing a piano player, leading to this exchange:
    Amenadiel: What, is there no music in Hell?
    Lucifer: Only for torture, and usually out of tune. Lately we've been playing songs by this chap named Bieber. Gosh, you should hear the screams.
  • Lucifer identifies a woman that is connected to the case he and Amenadiel are pursuing based solely on a picture of her cleavage.
  • Lucifer picks out a car.
    Amenadiel: Don't you need a key?
    Lucifer: You know me, I can turn anything on.
    • Lucifer then tries driving and nearly smashes the car going into reverse. He thought "R" stood for "Really fast." The look of shock on his brother's face being in a car for the first time is priceless.
  • Apparently there aren't many porn stars in Hell, which Lucifer attributes to "the good work" they do on Earth.
  • Amenadiel gets mistaken for a costar of the porn shoot that he and Lucifer wandered into, and gets roped into shooting a scene.
  • Lucifer reminds Amenadiel that he needs to act like a normal person, since using his celestial strength is going to make people inquire into his life.
    • This results in a training montage where Amenadiel has to get WORSE at fighting and appear WEAKER. Going from easily lifting a ton of weights, to making the silliest straining face by the end with Lucifer cheering him on.
  • When Tio asks Lucifer and Amenadiel where they're from, Lucifer says "down south" at the same time as Amenadiel says "up north".
  • The Training Montage, complete with Amenadiel chasing a chicken... which Lucifer appears to later eat.
  • Lucifer is watching a hot movie and about to take off his pants. The movie? Hot Tub High School, aka the movie in which Chloe did her infamous nude scene.
  • Maze gets called up to torture someone for information. In Hell, she has to torture someone in a manner specially designed for them, to cause them maximum suffering, but up here on Earth she can do anything she likes. The thought of complete freedom in how to torment her victim turns her on so much, she ends up having sex with him instead. But since she's a Sex Goddess, he ends up confessing everything anyway once when she's done with him. When Lucifer notices later that he's crying, he thinks she's done something really horrible to him, but she explains those are tears of joy.

     Episode 12 - All About Her 
  • Chloe realizes the reason Maze puts up slews of Trixie's artwork is to hide the holes made by her throwing knives.

    Linda: Should have seen that coming...
  • Amenadiel goes to a doctor and is told he has... chlamydia.
    Amenadiel: That's impossible, I'm an angel!
    Doctor: ...Uh huh...
    • Amenadiel admits he slept with a prostitute "although I didn't know she was one at the time."
  • Dan smacks Lucifer on the butt with a portfolio as he walks past him to go into the interview room with Chloe.
  • Chloe and Dan think they've gotten the suspect to confess to killing... but he thinks they're talking about a seal he accidentally hit. Chloe shows a picture of the victim, and the guy sighs "he's dead too?"
  • Charlotte realising a second too late that her big "I didn't get where I am today by letting people walk all over me" speech isn't quite as compelling any more, now that she's resigned her position as head of her own law firm to become a low-ranking lawyer at the district attorney's office.
  • Charlotte is able to intimidate the world's first murderer who's been walking the Earth for thousands of years.
  • Maze's idea of a "gift" to Linda is a deadly hunting knife... right after giving a scary speech about "getting what you deserve."
  • Maze's ring tone is the theme from Psycho.
  • Maze mentions to Linda how Amenadiel has chlamydia, causing a glorious Spit Take.
  • Lucifer's new file folder labels: OBVIOUS KILLERS, TEDIOUS EVIDENCE, HOT SUSPECTS, RIDICULOUS ALIBIS, BORING DETAILS, GRAFFITI, and BORING CRIMES.
    • He also leaves a new screen saver of himself in his underwear lying in bed (the picture comes from a real photoshoot that Tom Ellis did for Attitude magazine).
    • And he pours out his flask of alcohol onto a wilting potted plant. Because that will certainly perk it right up!
  • Trying to take Charlotte's advice on toughening up, Ella ends up snapping at Lucifer when he barges into her lab. All she does is leave him mildly confused.

     Episode 13 - Til Death Do Us Part

    Lucifer: Have you tried grenade down your throat?

    Lucifer: Devoured by wolves?
    Pierce: Yep.
    Lucifer: Dropped into helicopter blades?
    Pierce: [nods]

    • Lucifer brushes over it all as "Wolverine rules."
  • Lucifer attempting to get to know Pierce by pretending to be Dr. Linda and giving him a therapy session. Pierce isn't happy when he discovers that Lucifer re-arranged his entire office to do this.
    • Lucifer throws a box of tissues at Pierce... and it bounces off his chest. The noise it makes as it does so shouldn't be funny but is somehow hilarious.
    • He then explains that he's trying to figure out his strengths and weaknesses, before adding, "everyone has a kryptonite, Lieutenant." This. To someone played by Tom Welling.
  • Maze reunites with a human Charlotte.
    Maze: You were a monstrous bitch and I hated you.
    Charlotte: Yeah, I get that a lot.
  • Maze smells Charlotte, who clearly has no idea how the hell to handle this.
  • Chloe meets Lucifer at the bar with the bartender putting down some pills.
    Chloe: Your bartender is a drug dealer.
    Lucifer: Well, I certainly didn't hire him just for his abs.
  • Chloe says they need to get a team together to raid a drug house and can't just have Lucifer "strolling in a suit and saying 'Hello drug dealers!'" (complete with mocking his accent). Lucifer claims he'd never do that. Gilligan Cut to him coming into the place and saying it...in Korean.
    Lucifer: Annyeong, mayaksang!
    • Lucifer then proceeds to kick the Korean gang's ass, all set to the tune of SHINee's "Lucifer".
  • The leader of the Korean gang is strangely cooperative, confessing to several felonies and seemingly unconcerned about being arrested. Chloe's face when Lucifer explains why is great; in exchange for cooperation, he provided the gang with the formula for the high-quality ecstasy the victim of the week created.
  • After Lucifer discovers a hidden note with a stash of pills, they go to Pierce.
    Pierce: So you can take the girl out of the ecstasy biz, but you can't take the ecstasy biz out of the girl.
    Lucifer: Well, actually, it's not ecstasy. It's more sort of a home-brew Adderall. It's very smooth. [sniffles]
    Pierce: [to Chloe] Did your partner just admit to snorting evidence?
    Lucifer: The only thing I admit to is being very focused on this case.
  • Lucifer and Pierce go undercover as a married couple. Lucifer is enthusiastic. Pierce... is not.
    • Just the sight of the duo in sweaters (Pierce with his tied around his neck) and having dinner with neighbors.
    • Lucifer claiming they "met through my father."
    • Pierce downing his entire glass of champagne in one long drink.
    • When Pierce tries to retire for the evening, Lucifer stops him by saying, "I cook. You clean."

  • Maze is tearing up a dummy (one that looks a lot like Amenadiel) when Ella (who she calls "Ellen") shows up. She lets Trixie go at the dummy.

    Lucifer: Truly the greatest trick someone besides me played on the world. Thousands of dollars for lumps of coal. Incredible.

    Lucifer: Look at me, being the responsible one.
  • Maze talks to Trixie about her problems with Amenadiel and Doctor Linda, and refers back to how she used to be the "most brutal torturer in Hell". Another example of how angels and demons on the show misunderstand advice from humans.
    Trixie: Mommy says that sometimes, people are just scared to tell the truth. Maybe they need a little help.
    Maze: That's not a bad idea, kid. Helping people tell the truth is kind of my thing.
  • In a beautiful Brick Joke, Todd, the loser Lucifer was supposed to impersonate, is Maze's pick for Linda's blind date.

    Pierce: What's that supposed to be? Are we shaking hands or holding spiders?

    Pierce: That's not how it happened.
    Lucifer: Well, artistic license, my friend.

  • After Lucifer and Pierce concoct their scheme to put Abel into a newly deceased body, they start going through a bunch of random files and folders of recent dead guys as if it was a shopping catalog.

    • Throughout the bus tour, Ella has to act like a beleaguered mother hen for the bachelorette party, with Charlotte trying to pry her way into Chloe's mind and get her to reconsider the wedding, Maze trying to do the opposite, and Linda picking fights with Maze when her date gets thrown off the bus.

      Lucifer: (watching Eve calm Ella down with a kiss) Ladies... Oh, it's a comfort to know I'll expire erect. (raises glass) Cheers. (coughs blood into the glass) Oh bugger.
  • Lucifer's mental freak out over Eve calling him her "boyfriend." It's so unsettling, they only have sex two more times after that!
  • Eve's mail-order "me costume"— a green bikini that looks like leaves.
  • Lucifer takes issue with Eve using his toothbrush. With a meaningful glance downward, she retorts, "You're worried about your toothbrush being in my mouth?"
  • Ella is less interested in the murdered victim than his classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.
  • Amenadiel enters the loft with a small box.
    Amenadiel: Lucifer? I got your baby present... but I don't think those are teething rings.
  • Amenadiel meets Eve.
    Amenadiel: Did you hurt Lucifer?
    Eve: Only when he asked me nicely.
  • Lucifer makes a big show of pointing out cops, from one who put a siren on his car, to the evidence locker clerk who let him get first shot at any cocaine.
  • Lucifer wants his final murder case with Chloe to be special, as he believes it will give him some form of closure, and therefore looks forward to tracking down the killer. Then Ella walks into the room and reveals she's basically solved the entire case by herself. When Chloe and Lucifer protest against any evidence she may have, hoping there will be something left for them to do, she reveals she's already covered practically every angle, right down to sending Dan to apprehend the suspect instead. Not realising how she's just completely shattered Lucifer's plans for closure, she happily runs out of the room to go celebrate, leaving both Lucifer and Chloe incredibly disappointed by the anticlimax.
  • Amenadiel asks why Lucifer didn't tell him Eve was there. "Oh, please. I'm not gonna text you every time someone stays the night. Think of my data plan."
  • Ella is initially determined not to like Eve on Chloe's behalf, but finds Eve far too nice to dislike, especially since Eve immediately glomps her in delight while gushing how she's even prettier in person than Lucifer had described her. The resident Cuddle Bug is left mumbling indignantly.
    Ella: How dare you use hugs against me?!
  • Ella spending 90% of the episode, including the entirety of the Lux hostage situation, while drunk. Then high as balls on molly, courtesy of Eve. Lucifer tries to "sober her up" by... giving her cocaine. It just makes her worse.
  • Chloe stunned to realize this is "the Eve from Adam and Eve?"
    Eve: I never understood why they put his name first. I thought we were living in progressive times.
    • Chloe just casually asking Eve if she has any superpowers (she doesn't) when the group ran out of options to solve the hostage situation speaks to how jaded she is regarding the whole Biblical/supernatural things affecting her life.
    • Near the end of the episode, Chloe visits Amenadiel and channels the viewers' collective suspicion when she asks if Eve is secretly a bad guy or some kind of evil supernatural entity.
    • A bit of Fridge Brilliance to the show's tangled mythology: Eve is, of course, the mother of Cain, AKA Marcus Pierce. Which means that this is the first time Chloe meets someone who would have been her mother-in-law if things turned out differently. Yet, here, she is meeting her as a love rival for Lucifer's attention.
  • Maze taking in the hackers in a small room.
    Maze: Shared office workspace? Even I find this a bit cruel, torture-wise.
  • Lucifer spending twenty-plus minutes of the episode calmly bleeding out from a bullet to the gut on the floor of his nightclub, always with a glass of alcohol on hand and a sex joke at the ready.
    • Furthermore, Lucifer using what may be the last moments of his corporeal life to drag himself over and mock the criminal who shot him after his colleague shows up and stabs him in the gut, leaving him to also bleed out from a gut wound on the floor. The level of petty is incredible.
  • Eve mentions that Adam was always boring because he thinks paradise should just be lounging around all day. This got worse once Heaven got ESPN.
  • Lucifer happily telling Eve he bought a snake costume to wear when they have sex.

     Episode 6 - Orgy Pants to Work 
  • Maze's anger over Lucifer throwing an orgy while she's out of town, referring to it as "fifty shades of betrayal."

    Eve: [Cracks whip] Everyone hydrates!
  • Eve and Maze face-off tensely... then Eve realizes who Maze is and fangirls over her.
    Eve: This world is so full of dumb-ass rules. You know, "no drugs for breakfast" or "put on some clothes". But you... For years you have been the keeper of Lucifer's devilish flame. He just forgot to mention you were so damn hot!
    Maze: I like her.
  • Having been gone for months, Maze is jarred to find her "knife shelf" has been replaced by a changing table and Linda is heavily pregnant (naturally, she can only declare "You're fat!")
  • Chloe and Dan talk of Lucifer being late for a crime scene.
    Dan: Maybe he'll show up with another kilo of coke. Or a Mexican wrestler.
    Chloe: That was a scheduling issue.
  • The Title Drop comes from Lucifer showing up at a crime scene in assless chaps. Which he then covers up with scores of red crime scene tape.
  • The archangel Remiel shows up on Earth because she senses the presence of a new celestial (Linda and Amenadiel's unborn child). Of course, the person she actually assumes responsible for fathering it is Lucifer.
    Remiel: Our brother Lucifer is a... what do they call it here? (pauses) A slut!
  • Lucifer wakes up from a nap.
    Lucifer: Fetch me the goat!
  • Lucifer tries to buy apology gifts for Eve and Chloe, only for them to get mixed up. Thus, Eve gets a copier printing out an apology at Lux, while Chloe gets the sex doll delivered to her office.
    Chloe: There's a card.
    Dan: You really need a card to know who this is from?
  • Discovering the murder victim was at a nudist club, Chloe is told no one enters with clothes (unless they have a warrant). Of course, Lucifer is already naked and Chloe is chewing him out for being unprofessional... only for Ella to also step out buck naked.
    Ella: Bucket list?
  • Lucifer and Ella questioning the nudists.
    Nudist: Gary... really found his happy place here.
    Lucifer: And how could you tell he was happy? Oh, don't worry. We know. (Turns to laugh with Ella).
  • In the nudist club swimming pool.
    Lucifer and Ella: We're not cops.
    Ella: I'm actually a forensic scientist.
    Lucifer: And I'm the devil.
  • The fact that a Netflix show goes overboard on Scenery Censor at the nudist club.

  • Lucifer shows Dan to Eve.
    Lucifer: That's Daniel. He's a douche again.
    Eve: Oh, can we punish him too?
    Lucifer: Believe me, his existence is punishment enough.
  • Maze speaks to Linda's stomach... with stories of her murderous past.
    Maze: With my first vanquished foe on his knees, I slit my blade across his throat. I felt the heat from his blood dripping down my face... And then a stranger heat in my loins.
    Linda: Ooooookay. When I mentioned that the baby could hear everything from inside the womb, I imagined introducing him to things like classical music, and stories... that aren't about graphic murders.
    Maze: Why would you want to hear a story not about graphic murder?
  • Linda is more than slightly worried to realize Maze is taking her "aunt" role seriously by following Linda everywhere, including work.
  • Ella drinking coffee from a mug plastered with her own face.
  • Trixie enters Lucifer's loft and goes wild, admiring everything from the hot tub on the patio to a horse statue that was a "gift from Napoleon!" Eve can only giggle in delight.
  • Trixie interrogates Eve.
    Trixie: Ever been married?
    Eve: Once. It didn't work out.
  • Linda point-blank asks if Maze is in love with her. Maze laughs - "you have that 'good things come in small packages' vibe", but no - and Linda lets out a laugh of relief.

  • Lucifer asks a plastic surgeon if he can "dress up" his terrible wings somehow.

  • Ella and Dan's wonderfully awkward meeting at the crime scene after being together.
    Lucifer: Whatever is happening here is undoubtedly my fault.
  • Lucifer tries to use the prophecy to break up with Eve. Her take is merely that it means he loves her.

  • Amenadiel starts to ask random people at Lux for advice.
    Amenadiel: Do you have a good relationship with your father?
    Dancer: I'm dancing half naked in an ice bucket for money. What do you think?
  • Maze hits on a female prison guard, who responds with basically one-word sentences. Maze declares that she's "too clingy" and calls it off.
    • The best part? The prison guard is basically Maze. She looks similar, has the same fashion sense, and acts and talks the same way as Maze. Yet Maze dismisses her, even though she essentially dismisses herself.
    • And then she gets dumped by a chubby overweight man with glasses who says they won't work as "we're both alphas."

  • Lucifer telling Linda how Eve is "coming off a long-term relationship."
  • Lucifer's horror at realizing Eve and Linda are bonding over his many flaws.

  • Lucifer playing up every single "bad husband" cliche in the book, from having guys over watching football, to playing video games, to making out with another woman (without including Eve).
    • And then Eve gets back at him by beating him at the games, being more popular with the football guys, and making out with the exact same woman Lucifer was.
    • Just the fact that the former King of Hell resorts to such mundane attempts at being a bad boyfriend, rather than doing anything truly malicious.
    • What the two were playing: Killer Instinct (2013)

     Episode 9 - Save Lucifer 
  • Linda and Amenadiel are trying to choose a name for their son. Amenadiel is constantly suggesting angel names, which all end with 'iel', while Linda wants to go more mainstream with something like 'Jack'. When she suggests 'Michael', something you think they'd both be happy with, Amenadiel flatly shoots it down with narrowed eyes. Although it becomes Harsher in Hindsight in Season 5, after learning what kind of angel Michael really is.
  • Lucifer informs Chloe that he made a breakthrough with his therapy.
    Chloe: Really? What is it?
    Lucifer: I hate myself.

  • Maze is out to hurt Lucifer for hurting Eve but has trouble finding her weapons in the new baby-proof apartment.
  • Ella does a goofy dance for "Hammer Time" due to the victim having been killed with a hammer. When Lucifer and Chloe simply stare at her, nonplussed, she complains that "I've been waiting years to do that!"
    • Moments later, Lucifer reaches for a piece of evidence and she stops him with "You can't touch this!", then has to clarify that she's not still doing the Hammer Time thing; she genuinely doesn't want him handling the evidence.
  • Chloe and Lucifer joining together in sheer bafflement at Maze and Eve becoming a bounty hunting duo.
  • Eve and Maze are making out in an office just as Lucifer and Chloe show up. They all just stare at each other while the guy tied up and gagged in a chair groans for attention.
    Man: Thank you! These two maniacs barged in here and tied me up!
    Lucifer: Yes, I can see you've had a most unpleasant time here.
  • Eve's Chloe impression is a sight to behold.
  • Chloe's idea for Lucifer to hide his face while they wait for Kinley is for a masquerade party at Lux, with Lucifer donning a comical goat mask.
  • When Lucifer's Power Incontinence swallows Lux, Chloe can't help but use the opportunity to do his "what is it that you truly desire" shtick to interrogate the murderer (who, like everyone at Lux at the time except for Chloe, is hypnotized to tell her deepest desire).
  • Dan helps Maze realize she has feelings for Eve by pointing out that he's never seen her look at anyone the way she looks at Eve: like she wasn't thinking of stabbing her.

     Episode 10 - Who's da New King of Hell? 
  • The entire opening dance dream sequence.
    • The best part? Dan leaping out so Lucifer can do a Dirty Dancing lift of him. And he isn't seen coming down!
    • Also, don't miss the blink-and-you-miss-it and Funny Background Event of Ella's strange face and movements looking at this.
  • During a crime scene with Ella and Dan, Chloe sees Dan of all people being silly and reenact a goofy hip-hop song.
    • Which is then made better as the camera moves to some knocking only to show Lucifer smacking the recording booth glass like a child shouting "DETECTIVE, DETECTIVE! WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?!".
  • Dromos complaining how bad Hell has become and Lucifer pointing out it's Hell.
    Dromos: Lucifer, Hell has been really bad since you left.
    Lucifer: Oh, well, that's a shame, because it was a real vacation destination before.
  • Dromos stating that Kinley "talked like a pirate."
  • Chloe and Maze wake up Lucifer.

  • Chloe spread the story that Lucifer moved to... Florida.
  • Chloe and Maze have a conversation about how to get into a card game, with a lot of unfinished sentences as they practically read each other's minds. The kicker is when Maze smiles and says she has an idea, and Chloe says "Absolutely not, Maze! You should be ashamed of yourself!"
    • Later, Maze shows the invite on a playing card covered with blood.
  • Linda is convinced that being the child of an angel means her son must be a gifted genius. Which means Ella and Dan have to stare at Linda showing a two-month old infant the periodic table and ready to start on hard sciences and Japanese.
    Dan: We all think our own kid can walk on water.
    Linda: I hadn't thought of that. [writes on Post-It] Cancel swimming lessons...
  • Dan has gone on a "Cleansing", so now walks around with a chipper attitude and smelling of various oils.
  • Amenadiel is reporting any crime to Dan.

  • Maze shows up for the poker game in a lush "slutty" dress... and thinks Chloe is the "eye candy" of the operation.

    Episode 2 - Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer! 
  • In therapy, Chloe takes what Linda was trying to tell her about giving Lucifer time and runs in a whole other direction with it. Linda just comments, "You two are perfect for each other."
  • Not-Lucifer pairs with Chloe interrogating the suspects. He's clearly thrown by Chloe's attitude goading folks and missing all her cues.
    • One of the "astronauts" seems to be played by Sharon Osbourne...then it turns out she IS Sharon Osbourne, a "celebrity guest."
    Sharon: (to Lucifer)' Thank you for everything you did for Ozzy. One Prince of Darkness to another, right?
  • Chloe's exasperation to get Not-Lucifer to start acting like Lucifer, to the point that she starts making the crude jokes and double entendres that Lucifer would, culminating in her stealing Dan's pudding and telling Not-Lucifer to eat it.
  • The sight of Tom Ellis boasting an American accent and a whiny persona is absolutely priceless.
  • Chloe reveals that she wasn't fooled at all by Michael pretending to be Lucifer, and when he starts gloating, she shoots him several times in the chest.
    Michael: You know that won't kill me.
    Chloe: (Shoots him again) Yeah, but it makes me feel better. (Shoots him once more for luck.)
  • Once Michael stops pretending to be Lucifer, he also stops wearing his brother's stylish three-piece suits and breaks out a turtleneck, ill-fitting tweed blazer, and chinos, basically looking like a murderous college professor.

     Episode 3 - Diablo! 
  • Lucifer and Amenadiel have a talk in front of the Hell of one guy... which is a circus tent and him in a cage.
    Lucifer: My slopey-shouldered brother is pulling a prank hardly worthy of Saved by the Bell in order to humiliate me.
    • Amenadiel is explaining how Michael has grabbed power in Heaven.
      Amenadiel: Michael's become... untouchable in the Silver City.
      Lucifer: Well, he's not in the Silver City now, is he? So excuse me while I go touch him! [starts to walk away, stops] I can see how that's a poor choice of words.
    • After Lucifer leaves, two demons dressed like clowns awkwardly ask if they should get back to work.
    • Before that, Lucifer just asks Amenadiel to deal with Michael how he used to always do: give him an atomic wedgie. To which Amenadiel claims that a wedgie won't stop him, essentially confirming that the Celestials, the divine children of God, give each other wedgies. There's something strangely amusing about the idea that they're that childish and sophomoric.
      • Made even funnier because, according to Amenadiel, angels were created fully formed. So the actual scene would look like an adult man giving another adult man a wedgie.
  • Lucifer strolls into the station.
    Lucifer: Burnt coffee and body odor never smelled so good.
  • Lucifer protests that he's the genuine article, pointing out his "immaculate pocket square." Then proves it by getting a random patrolwoman to admit that her deepest desire is to find a way to take a nap in the evidence room.
  • Lucifer claims that Michael saying he knows Elvis is a lie because "I'm the only one who knows where he lives."
  • Lucifer discovers that all this time he was telling about himself to a TV writer, the guy used it for a show about the Devil becoming a cop. Which then leads to the title screen being the fake show's title.
  • Lucifer obviously loves how his on-screen persona is a dashing handsome figure adored by all. Chloe's reaction to her on-screen character, Detective Dancer, being a former stripper and bimbo is... less than pleased. As is Lucifer when he realises the inevitable conclusions she'll draw.
  • Blink and you miss it: The crafts table has a platter of deviled eggs.
  • Lucifer is disappointed that the actor playing "Him" is not into drugs.
  • Chloe and her on-screen counterpart actress end up holding guns on each other, saying the exact same things, before Chloe dryly points out that she is a real cop, and the other woman's gun is a prop. Cue Lucifer's inevitable comment, made even better by how the counterpart actor just grins and nods his agreement.
  • The actors join in the investigation on the idea "how much harder can it be than on TV?"
    • The Diablo actor then proceeds to exactly mimic Lucifer, to their shared bemusement.
  • Ella happily tells Chloe that she doesn't believe in predestination and that all patterns can be broken... then she gets a text which Chloe glances at... aaaand it's a tatooed dick pic.

  • When Chloe looks down at the desk, frowning, she says something (evidence) looks familiar.
    Chloe: No, I don't know Greg and his tatooed penis.
  • Dan tries all his self-help positivity on Lucifer (who has just stolen his mug). Who reacts predictably - with bemusement, sarcasm, apathy, and more sarcasm.
  • Maze watches the Diablo show where her counterpart is a beefy, muscular, bald man with a more-than-passing resemblance to Amenadiel.
    Maze: Wow. It's like looking into a mirror.
  • Linda tries to cheer up Maze.
    Linda: You know I'm not going anywhere, right?
    Maze: Not on purpose. But you're going to drop dead in what, five years?
    Linda: How old do you think I am?!
    Maze: I don't know, thirty?
  • Linda and Maze are riveted at the sight of their fictional counterparts making out.
  • Ella demonstrates a plastic copy of the prop knife that was used as the murder weapon — which on the Diablo show is said to be the only thing capable of killing the devil — by hitting Lucifer in the chest with it, causing the plastic to fold.
    Ella: ...That was funnier in my head.
  • Lucifer's reading through one of the unfilmed scripts, about Diablo solving a mystery in space.
    Chloe: And what was Dancer doing, a Zero-G strip tease?
    Lucifer: Have you read this one already?

     Episode 4 - It Never Ends Well For The Chicken 
  • Trixie finds some handcuffs.
    Trixie: Do these work?
    Lucifer: Depends who you're asking.
  • "The Devil solving crime. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
  • Chloe and Ella take roles in Lucifer's tale simply because Trixie wants more than just boys there.
    • Ella as a mob boss has to be seen to be believed.

  • Chloe declares that she's concentrating on police work "and not anything God-related." Gilligan Cut to a murder at a church.
    Chloe: Hilarious.
  • Chloe snarking when a nun tells her that "God sends you here". While she means it literally, everyone assumes that they're dealing with an unbeliever.
    Chloe: That's what God does, yep, hmph, sends me here, sends me there, kills a nun!
  • Ella is concerned about Chloe's dismissive attitude towards talk of divine plans.
    "You're making me look bad in front of the nuns!"
  • Lucifer is astounded at how Dan just does filing and paperwork most of the day instead of "solving your own bloody murders!"
    Dan: A murder is like a gigantic puzzle, only you don't know where the corner pieces are. Or what it's going to look like when it's done.
    Lucifer: You just described torture. Trust me, I know.
  • When Chloe first finds out about Amenadiel's power to stop time, she asks what else he can do. Amenadiel replies that he is God's greatest warrior.
    Chloe: Well, as much as I love the mental image of you punching a bunch of nuns...
  • Amenadiel talks about how he "can't expose myself" just as Ella passes by and gives him an ugly look.
  • Amenadiel realizes that, because he reflects back God's love, all the nuns are infatuated with him. Hilarity Ensues.
    • When Chloe first points this out, Amenadiel denies that he has any special powers any more, only for the nuns to approach him in awe as a Cherubic Choir is played in the background.
    • During their interview, the nuns are so distracted by Amenadiel that they don't react to Chloe's questions. One cut later, Chloe is gone and Amenadiel takes over. The nuns are more receptive this time and answer his questions, but not without praising him all the time.
      Young nun: You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen.
      Elderly nun: It's a secret, but who can lie to those gorgeous eyes?
    • When a nun starts kissing Amenadiel in the interrogation room, Dan moves as if to go break it up.
      Lucifer: Ah ah ah ah ah, remember, Daniel, there are no shortcuts. Let him put in the work.
      Dan: (Beat) Good point.
  • Lucifer asks if Amenadiel is truly powerless, as "this sure does seem like time is stopped."
  • Turns out Amenadiel is familiar with pop star Destiny Page's work.
    Amenadiel: Well, her latest album was a testament to a newfound faith, and the one that she's working on is supposed to continue in that vein.
    Chloe: (looks at him like "WTF?")
    Amenadiel: ...Please don't tell Lucifer.
  • The conversation between Chloe, Amenadiel, and Lucifer after the former finds out the truth about her birth has a few cringy moments in an otherwise serious scene.
    • The first question Chloe poses when she learns the truth:
      Chloe: Amenadiel, you're my dad?
      Amenadiel: (laughs nervously) Of course not.
    • Chloe asking, if she is really a gift, does she have any special powers like laser beams or something. The looks of confusion on Lucifer and Amenadiel are priceless.
    • Chloe mockingly surmising that she was created to be the perfect "Mrs. Morningstar".

    Lucifer: Well, there's millions of bullets dodged.
  • Ella is so used to the various stumbling blocks in Lucifer and Chloe's relationship that, when Chloe confirms that they did finally sleep together, she automatically starts apologizing that things didn't work out, only to literally stop short as what Chloe said actually registers with her.

  • During the couple's therapy, Linda doesn't find Lucifer's assertions to be that ridiculous and says that it's an indication that he has grown, much to his delight. Lucifer then asks her if they can skip to the part where Chloe gives back his mojo.
    Linda: Yeah, scratch emotional maturity.
  • Lucifer talks of Ella being a Trekkie. When she speaks Klingon, he intones "see, she even speaks Chewbacca."

    Maze: I had two rocks growing up. One sharp, one not. With the sharp one I'd try to stab things, with the dull one I'd try to make it sharp.
    Amenadiel: That... actually explains a lot.

    Episode 8 - Spoiler Alert 
  • After Dan shoots Lucifer, and Lucifer stands back up invulnerable, Chloe talks to Dan and while they're arguing, there's a gunshot. Turns out that Lucifer had just tested his invulnerability by shooting himself.
    • And Chloe’s reaction was to go take away the gun like she was dealing with a naughty child.
  • Lucifer's first idea to get back at Dan for shooting him is putting a snake in his desk. When Chloe says that it's not a good idea, Lucifer agrees, as "It's not even poisonous!"
  • Here is a closer look at Lucifer's whiteboard plotting Operation Pay Back Dan.
  • The imprisoned Whisper Killer is annoyed at the "lame" name, as "I don't kill whispers!" His "genius" suggestions include "The Shusher."
    • Then Lucifer asks him for suggestions to how to get at Dan.
      Whisper: I once ate someone's kidney in front of them.
      Lucifer: Ew, that's a non-starter. I refuse to put any part of Daniel in my mouth.

Season 5B

    Episode 9 - Family Dinner 
  • Peter Peterson or, as Lucifer, says "the best name ever."
  • The utter awkwardness of the family dinner. Linda accidentally using God's name in vain in front of God, Amenadiel downing an entire glass of wine, and Michael just hunched over his plate.
    • Also, the mere fact of Linda having a dinner with, among others, the Devil and God.
    • God telling Linda that of course she is part of the family might seem sweet... until Amendadiel reveals that Linda really wanted to escape and is now trapped like the rest of them.
    • Michael pettily skipping Lucifer in favour of Linda when passing a plate of meat.
    • Lucifer insists on saying Grace.
    • Linda begins to... then realizes that God is right next to her: "I'm used to you up there." She then starts gushing on thanking God for, basically, everything.
    • Breaking up an otherwise tense scene, Linda laughs that she now realizes that chicken is God's favorite food and that's why "everything tastes like it!"
  • If God asking to crash at your place on a spare futon doesn't make you laugh, nothing possibly can.
  • Chloe comments that Lucifer uses their cases to deal with his family issues... and then proceeds to do the exact same thing herself, much to the befuddlement of Lucifer who finds himself in Chloe's role of trying to keep them focused on the case.

    Episode 10 - Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam 
  • As one can guess from the episode title, the series is finally doing a musical episode, which naturally means that Hilarity Ensues. The best part is that, contrary to what one might believe, it's not Lucifer but his Father who's responsible. Showing that any version of God is a fan of musicals.
  • When his father asks how Lucifer knew he was there, Lucifer says that the singing and dancing was a bit of a giveaway. God: "Ah, but fun, right?" Lucifer begins to agree, then catches himself, sobers up and says that that's beside the point.
  • God trying to be a good father to Lucifer. It... doesn't end well.
    • He tries to play catch with him, only for Lucifer to let the ball smack him in the chest.
    • Later, he is seen putting Lucifer in a headlock and giving him a noogie.
  • Amenadiel steps into it nicely when he matter-of-factly states that "angels are better than humans." Linda... does not take it well.
  • Lucifer does the "deepest desire" on a football player, who confesses that he wants to join the CIA... the Culinary Institute of America. Lucifer and Chloe admit "didn't see that coming."
    • And his mom still thinks he means the spy one.
  • Maze "being herself" by offering a bounty in handcuffs to Ella. When she says the guy "has a motorcycle," Ella is horrified... then tempted when she asks if it's a Harley.
    • Ella's little bi-panic at the end of her and Maze's song.
  • Chloe flat out calling God out for being a shitty father... then quickly adding a "respectfully". And she was going to start with the whole "Gift" thing before Lucifer interrupted her.
    • The end of the conversation:
    Lucifer: Now you see what I've been dealing with?
    Chloe: Yeah.
  • God asking Lucifer where his 'throne' is at the station. Then his office. Then his desk. Then his own little nameplate.
    • God pointing out that Dan of all people gets a desk, so maybe if Lucifer works very hard, he can reach Dan's level.
  • Dan freaking out over how he slept with God's wife, hopefully asking if God's above all that jealousy stuff. Amenadiel's response is that no, he definitely isn't. Amenadiel takes this as an epiphany that celestials and mortals aren't so different. Daniel, meanwhile, just freaks out even more and downs shots like there's no tomorrow.
  • God. Dad-dancing. At Lux. Lucifer's sheer exasperation sells it.
    Lucifer: Oh, and now he's dancing.
  • The inevitable joke:
    Coach: He didn't have to be so goddamned sanctimonious about it!
    God: Oh, please don't bring me into this.
  • Lucifer is annoyed that God finds him naked on the couch, until his dad points out that he's seen Lucifer in far more compromising positions. A lot. In a lot of different places.

    Episode 11 - Resting Devil Face 
  • The opening of Lucifer and Amenadiel walking in slow-motion to "Believer" by Imagine Dragons... and Lucifer keeps interrupting to make sure that Amenadiel is on board with their plans to confront their dad.
    • And then they find that God is missing. And then behind the bar fixing the plumbing and making a joke about a "flood."
  • Among other things, God is also responsible, per an exasperated Lucifer, for fixing 'the feng-shui of the penthouse' and the soda-dispenser now miraculously producing pinot noir.
  • Chloe talking to a suspect... who turns out to be Trixie, who stole her mom's handcuffs to go after a bully at school. Trixie has clearly been hanging out with Maze too long.
    • And when she's dropped off with Linda, who thinks she'll be easy by comparison, an almost Lucifer-worthy grin slowly spreads across Trixie's face.
  • Lucifer growling when his dad shows up at work.
    Lucifer: Moses wouldn't want this much face time!
  • No matter what anyone does, God remains pretty calm. Except when he meets Dan and finds out that Dan slept with God's wife. God calmly... makes Dan explode. Then reverses time, with only a horrified Lucifer remembering what happened. God's reaction?
    God: No harm, no foul.
    • Later, Dan's relieved, drinking.
    Dan: It's cool, man. You're still in one piece. God is not going to kill you.
    • The relief is temporary, however, when he realises he might go to Hell and be tortured for all eternity.
  • The crime scene has a crazy man about.
    Man: Prepare to meet your maker!
    Lucifer: Just got rid of him, actually.
  • So much of God as a mortal, getting used to how the world stays when you close your eyes, to just the feeling of not knowing what comes next.
    • And when Chloe is understandably shocked, Lucifer's response?
    Lucifer: He does inexplicable things from time to time. Marsupials, pomegranates... the gallbladder.
  • "As the Spanish like to say, Vaya con... you."
  • Ella, the most religious of the group, greets the Almighty with a delighted hug when she hears his Lucifer's dad, not getting who he really is or why he says "thank you for all the support." It's both adorable and hilarious.
  • God slurping a slushy in the background. And getting brain freeze. Repeatedly. And Lucifer, Lucifer of all people, having to be the responsible one. Which includes having to take God to "the little boys room." Hilarity Ensues.
  • Dan finally realizing that Maze "being scary as hell" makes sense, as she's a demon. He asks what Hell is like, and is relieved when she says "awesome"... then realizes that she means for the other demons.
  • The doctor explains about YSD, a very exclusive drug, and describes it as best she can - it's pink. Lucifer then gets out a pillbox for reference, as he and God riff on the variations of pink (with God happily remarking that he outdid himself on the flamingos). The box contains all his drugs. There's a lot of them. All different.
  • The Colonel assumes that God is Lucifer's boss as "the man behind the man".
    God: Well, actually, son, I'm the man behind all men. And women.
  • God gives away this is all a sting.
    God: I'm sure everything will turn out fine.
    Lucifer: That's what you said about the bloody dinosaurs!
  • Trixie interprets Linda's advice to kick Lucifer.
    Trixie: Your hair is stupid and your jokes are immature and who puts a bar that big in their house?
    Lucifer: My hair is majestic and you know it!
    • And then Lucifer punishes Trixie by banning her from his penthouse for a month.

    Episode 12 - Daniel Espinoza: Naked and Afraid 
  • Lucifer is grumpy that Dan isn't taking part in their usual back-and-forth Vitriolic Best Buds routine and isn't rising to the insults.
    Dan: It's like being teased by Genghis Khan, or Darth Vader.
  • When Chloe points out how she reacted, Lucifer notes that she ran off to Europe, and decides that Dan could do with a vacation.
    Lucifer: Now, who do I know in one of those countries where they hunt American tourists for sport?
  • Lucifer spending time with the Los X gangsters in a bicycle shop when one of them claims that riding them is popular.
    • He and the gang do an impromptu counseling session.
    • Meanwhile, in the background, Dan is screaming as he tries to ward off Los Xs guard dog as he tries to get over the back gate. He fails, goes back in, and Lucifer offers to hold them off... then refuses to let Dan drive his car. Cue Dan escaping on a blinged out bicycle.
    • Then, he crashes into a car, the box lands beside him, revealing a human head. Cue yet another Girly Scream.
  • Maze asks Dan to explain what happened.
    Dan: Fine. But you gotta promise you're not gonna laugh,
    Maze nods solemnly.
    (Gilligan Cut)
    Maze laughing in Dan's face.
  • The whole episode is one big Brick Joke towards "Spoiler Alert" and Operation Payback Dan: An elaborate revenge prank by Lucifer to get back at Dan for shooting him. Highlights include hiring Dan's improv group (who were in on the prank) to fight the Russian mob (who are also in on the prank). Towards the end, turns out even the dog was in on it.
    Lucifer: Five million, four thousand, one hundred and fifty-seven dollars spent. Totally worth it!
    • The closing lines of the episode are just the icing on the cake:
      Dan: Well then, why did you do all this?
      Lucifer: Because you fucking shot me, Daniel.
      [Both down their drinks]

    Episode 14 - Nothing Lasts Forever 
  • Lucifer declaring that as God, he'll abolish war, eradicate hunger, and "make hangovers like they never existed."
    • Spending the episode musing on what parts of the world he's going to "correct."
  • Ella's... energetic way of imagining how someone died being eaten by a shark.
  • Lucifer describes his siblings as having "more opinions than Twitter".
  • God returns to Earth with his angelic children in order to have his "retirement party", which is shown to be in a public park. Thus the audience are treated to the surreal sight of God working a grill and cooking for the angels.
    • God is also wearing an apron that says "Let There Be Burgers".
  • This episode introduces the Archangel Gabriel: a woman who matches her sister Azrael in being a spunky and awkward adorable person who Lucifer and Amenadiel treat as an Annoying Younger Sibling.
    • Gabriel wants to know all about her big brother's [Amenadiel] baby mama [Linda]:
      Amenadiel: Like I would tell anything to the Angel of Gossip? [Lucifer chuckles]
      Gabriel: [Like a teenage girl] It's the Angel of Messages but whatever.
  • One of the angels is named Hanjobadiel. Amazingly, Lucifer doesn't comment.
  • Lucifer arranges a date with him and Chloe alongside God and... Chloe's mother, Penelope.
    • Chloe tries to pass off Lucifer's dad as "Godfrey."
    • Penelope completely missing the meaning of "Godfrey"'s tales, like Lucifer "causing a mess in that Garden."
  • Black Comedy of Maze trying to kill a pack of puppies in her living room in the hopes that it will give her more guilt than breaking up with Eve, so that when she goes to Hell, her brothers and sisters will use that to torture her instead of her breakup. She can't do it, so she just stands there with them.

    Episode 15 - Is This Really How It's Going To End?! 
  • When the gang remember the good things they had with Dan, Maze tells them that it was beautiful when she and Dan took on a gang months ago.
  • There's something inherently funny about Rob Benedict appearing in the show. Benedict's most well known role was playing Chuck aka God in Supernatural. Even funnier, he's a dick here as well, but he's not playing God.

    Episode 16 - A Chance at a Happy Ending 
  • When Lucifer brings one of Remiel's feather to Ella, she thinks that Lucifer ran down an Emu with his car.
  • Doubling as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, when Maze finally accepts Eve's wishes to not live forever and they end up getting back together:
    Maze: I don't care if you die.
    Eve: That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me.
    • And then, this little flirtation:
    Eve: That's so sexy.
    Maze: Not now.
    Eve: Right. Of course.
    Maze: Definitely later.
  • Michael announces himself as God by shouting "GOOOOOOOOD!!!!" at the top of his lungs, while looking at the sky with his hands stretched out... and nothing happens, with everyone looking at the sky in confusion. Michael does it again, and receives the same response. Cue utter disappointment as he thought that something would happen.
  • Amenadiel of all people calling out one of his sisters when she switches sides a second time in less than five minutes.
    Amenadiel: Mom never liked you.
  • When Lucifer and his team pretend to be caught up in God creating a musical again to stall for time, Zadkiel has no idea what the plan is, but still starts singing and dancing with them.
    • Made doubly so when Gabriel starts dancing along, and only stops when Michael glares at her.
      Michael: Alright, stop!
      Lucifer & Co.: Hammer time!
  • Lucifer at the very end of the episode, glancing awkwardly upwards and mumbling.
    Lucifer: Oh my me...

Season 6

    Episode 1 - Nothing Ever Changes Around Here 
  • The opening as Lucifer recaps the season 5 finale to a cop who pulled him over... who just happens to be the cop that he bribed in the first scene from the first episode... who reveals that he basically became a drug addict, lost his wife and home, and is now stuck as a motorcycle cop for the rest of his career. And then he hits Lucifer up for more money.
  • Lucifer once started a magic club with Rasputin.
  • Lucifer hates learning how a magic trick is done. Remember, he's now God, and has his fingers in his ears going "lalalalala" while the magician explains the trick.
  • Carol is questioning Lucifer and asks him his age... and Lucifer does his best to not give an exact year, with Chloe admitting that even she doesn't know how old he actually is because Lucifer is sensitive about it.
  • Lucifer is honestly shocked that his talk of stabbing guys and being the Devil makes him a prime suspect.
    Lucifer: I would never kill a magician! A mentalist, maybe...

     Episode 2 - Buckets of Baggage 
  • When Lucifer complains about not knocking after Amenadiel walks in on him and Chloe starting to go for a Round Two, Amenadiel points out "your door is an elevator!"
  • Lucifer attempts to get Carol a girlfriend. It goes as well as expected.
    • He interrupts an interrogation as "the voice of God" to brag about Carol to the very confused suspect.

    Episode 3 - Yabba Dabba Do Me 
  • Chloe and Lucifer journey to hell and enter the cell of Jimmy Barnes, the first killer that Lucifer caught back in the first episode of the series; Lucifer warns Chloe that it could be intense... only for them to be turned into Looney Tunes-style cartoons, complete with Chloe doing the eyes-bugging-out-of-head gag and Lucifer doing a full jaw drop to chest level. Turns out Lucifer's scare tactics drove Barnes completely insane.
    • Lucifer can't get over his chin looking like a butt.
      Lucifer: Is my chin...
      Chloe: Butt-like?
      Lucifer: I was going to say "this amazing in real life". Butt-like?
  • Lucifer horrified to drop his pants and see that he's "a smoothie!"
  • Chloe's super-strength is bigger as she crushes Lucifer into a cartoon accordion.
  • Jimmy's first hell loop is Lucifer interrupting his wedding. Only it's not the normal Lucifer, it's a Big Red Devil complete with pitchfork.
    • Lucifer is, of course, utterly enraged by this and keeps complaining about how the Big Red Devil looks.
    • When said Red Devil lets a woman play with his chest hair, he asks if Chloe wants him to grow out a tuft, and she is quick to assure him no.
  • Chloe takes a look down below to see if her cartoon self has something... down there. She can confirm that there's nothing down there.
  • Maze looking amused at the cop ready to bring her in for vandalism and smirking "been there, done that" when the cop says that this is a "gateway" to murder. Then annoyed when she's dropped off at a women's shelter.
  • Lucifer tries to curse, only to be stopped by constant beeps and images over his mouth. Which is funnier, given that this is Netflix.
  • When Lucifer and Chloe finally get out of the cartoon hell loop, the first thing that Lucifer does is check his pants to make sure that "Little Lucifer" is back where he belongs.
  • Lucifer is confused when Chloe laughs at his complaints about guyliner.

     Episode 4 - Pin The Tail On the Daddy 
  • When Rory has Lucifer at bay with her metallic wings and she claims to be his daughter, Lucifer fires off that angels can't have children. Dan, of course, has to point out that Amenadiel did, with Lucifer snapping "not helping, Daniel!"
  • Lucifer describes Rory as "Resting mean face. Loves blaming others. Combative, rebellious, claims I abandoned her." Amenadiel naturally observes "maybe she is your daughter".
  • Lucifer denies ever being on Earth in the 1990s.
    Lucifer: Who wants to visit the '90s? Frosted tips? Dial-up? Creed?
  • The end of the pre-opening sequence teaser. Caption – MIAMI. Film of beaches and speedboats.
    Beach Hunk: Hey, Daddy.
    Lucifer: No, that's where you're mistaken, buddy boy.
    I am here to prove that I…
    (puts on sunglasses)
    am nobody's daddy.
    (walks away determinedly. Scream sounds just like at the start of CSI: Miami.)
  • Lucifer's "drawing" of Rory which is basically a stick figure and wings. Trixie could clearly do better.
  • It turns out Maze was just ignoring Dan when he first tried to talk to her because she's Maze.

     Episode 5 - The Murder Of Lucifer Morningstar 
  • Rory mentions to Chloe that she can always count on Trixie for good porn. While Rory reassures Chloe telling her she's kidding and that Trixie only hides chocolate (while proceding to seek and find a chocolate bar hidden in a drawer), it's not clear if Rory was just trolling Chloe or was telling the truth about the whole porn thing. Apparently, Maze's influence is still strong in the future.
  • Rory is naturally not happy listening to her parents talk about their "sex math."
    • She also notes the partnership with "you're really carrying him, Mom."
  • Eve saying that their wedding will be "spikes and moats free", as "I'm saving that for the honeymoon."
  • Rory trolling Maze, Eve, Amenadiel, and later Linda. Like father, like daughter.
  • After exposing a love affair in a dentist's office, Lucifer remarks "I may need to get my teeth cleaned here."
  • Linda observes that Lucifer and Rory are more alike than they think. The duo's reply is... to let out near-identical scoffs and crossing legs. And despite claiming that she used to believe she had seen everything before adding time travel to the list, she doesn't seem too bothered by that.

    Episode 6 - A Lot Dirtier Than That 
  • Lucifer tries to make up "lost time" with Rory with bits like decking his entire flat in Christmas decorations, including a choir singing carols.
  • Linda is quite unsettled to learn she and Maze are actually on the same page with what Lucifer needs to do regarding his newly discovered daughter from the future. Even funnier, the chances of this happening are apparently so unexistent that Rory, the newly discovered daughter from the future, also finds it weird, which considering that she's implied to be in her late forties/early fifties, that's saying a lot.
  • Harris, telling Amenadiel about her backstory, says, "I used to have a mouth on me?" Amenadiel's reaction: "Used to?"

    Episode 7 - My Best Fiend's Wedding 
  • Adam, the First Man, the start of the human race...is a shlubby self-centered overgrown frat boy with an attitude of It's All About Me.
  • When Adam says that it's time to come home, Eve realizes that he's only just noticed that she's been gone from heaven... when she left a few years earlier.
  • After Lucifer draws out Adam's desires, one of his complaints is that humans have turned wolves into "like 800 different kinds of pets", and he criticizes the names of dog breeds, especially poodles, complaining that this is why you don't let amateurs do the job of professionals.
  • After Eve turns down Adam by saying that she never chose him, she and Maze start making out. Maze flips Adam off, shoving her hand right in his face while continuing to make out with Eve.
  • Lucifer invited demons to the wedding in the bodies of recently killed humans as "something old in something new in something borrowed." And gives them something blue, to complete the adage.
  • Maze invited her whole family to attend her wedding to Eve, but most of them turned her down because there was a fresh batch of white supremacists to torture.
  • Squee's favorite movie is revealed to be Four Weddings and a Funeral (although he mainly likes it for the funeral).
  • According to Dan, the only book in Hell is The Field Guide To Birds In North America.
  • When Linda walks Maze to the altar, a metal rendition of "Here Comes the Bride" is played in the background.
  • Adam, after his Heel–Face Turn, offers to give Eve away at the wedding, saying that it feels like he's giving away a part of himself.
  • When Adam and Linda are talking after the wedding, Maze can be seen in the background trying to give Trixie alcohol and Eve stopping her.

    Episode 8 - Save the Devil, Save the World 
  • Lucifer tries to pop out his wings to fly up to the Silver City, only he can't. He's confused, then tries to reassure Chloe, Amenadiel, and Ella that this has never happened to him before.
    • Linda later states that most performance issues are actually mental. Lucifer is initially offended and assures her he has never once had any trouble performing for anyone, before quickly realising she's talking about his wings.
  • Lucifer's reaction when Linda tells him that she has been secretly turning his therapy sessions into a book.
    Lucifer: Well… this is, uh…
    This is marvelous!
    I mean, Western literature has portrayed me in a terrible light for centuries, starting with that perennial best-seller that need not be named.
    Thanks for nothing, Gutenberg.
  • The Imagine Spot of a typical day at the station, with Chloe solving murders every five minutes and Ella wearing something that just says “HAPPY T-SHIRT” and being constantly cheerful.
  • Dan screaming in horror when Maze yanks a severed head out of her bag, only for her to assure him that the guy was like that when she found him.
    • Maze also receives sexual gratification from a random cop under a desk. The real Maze then jumps up and admits that she actually can't wait to read the rest of the book.
  • The second Imagine Spot about how Dan and Maze had the corrupt warden killed by the Russian mob, each with their own different perspective. Dan imagines himself as a gruff, hardboiled Max Payne expy and Maze as a meek sidekick who actually does the sign of the cross. Maze's version on the other hand is more closer to the truth, but still pretty far off compared to how it actually happened. Dan eventually admits they both have their own different versions of events.
  • Ella being told by Lucifer that her ghost friend is actually Azrael, the angel of death. Already pissed off that everyone has been keeping her out of the loop, she responds in a tone that screams "seriously dude?" and storms off angrily. Good thing no one ever mention to her that she hugged God.
    • Followed by some Hypocritical Humor from Lucifer, who complains that this could be the worst idea that "Linda" has ever had.
  • The ending that Linda wrote for her book, which concludes with Lucifer praising Linda while sitting on the God Throne by reciting her ridiculously long list of titles.
    Lucifer:: I, Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil, have returned to Heaven to rule as God Almighty. And it's all thanks to one woman. A woman with the mind of a genius, the patience of a saint. A woman I adore with all my heart. The greatest therapist the world has ever known, Dr. Linda Martin, MD, PsyD, PhD, MA, MPhil, Master in Science, Master in Technology, Master of the Universe, Ma—
  • Maze arrives in an insanely out-of-character pink ballerina/lolicon outfit. Apparently she and Eve were in the middle of some quite kinky sex games when the summons came.
    Maze: You interrupt a demon on her honeymoon, you get what you get.

     Episode 9 - Goodbye, Lucifer 
  • Although the topic is serious, Amenadiel describing how the other angels trying to answer prayers are going wrong and their response to him. It's not hard to imagine them as a bunch of teenagers messing around when dad isn't in home and Amenadiel as the older, responsible brother (which he actually is) trying to keep them in line to no avail.
    Amenadiel: [on rains of toads] A little girl prayed for one, but Lezmegadiel didn't realize that humans get them at pet stores. That, plus his terrible aim...
    Amenadiel: [on telling their siblings to stop] They don't take orders from me. I believe their exact words were, "You're not the God of us."
  • Lucifer has a chalk board with a to-do list on it in his living room. On his list are, amongst other things, call Dan Casper, rewatch Bones and try the Golden Gate with Chloe.
  • Dan, inhabiting the body of the man who killed him, finds Trixie and attempts to hug her. She instantly says (in a surprisingly calm voice) "Stranger Danger" and proceeds to knock him on his ass with a series of martial arts moves. Dan, lying on the grass, just asks if Maze taught her those moves.

    Episode 10 - Partners 'Til the End 
  • Dan being served pudding as his luxury food in Heaven.
  • Amenadiel and Linda's reactions to Charlie finally developing angel wings. He grins and punches the air, while she is left open-mouthed.
  • There's something inherently funny in seeing "Chuck" aka Vincent going to therapy with Lucifer being the therapist.
