History Recap / Lucifer2016S03E11CityOfAngels

* ADatewithRosiePalms: Lucifer unzips his pants while turning on ''Hot Tub High School'' with the obvious intention. When Amenadiel walks in, he hurriedly puts a pillow over his crotch.

* NotSoDifferent: Lucifer, to Amenadiel: "Pride's your sin, too." Doubles as {{Foreshadowing}}, considering that [[TheDevil Lucifer]] [[FallenAngel fell]] because of his pride.

How Lucifer, Maze and Amendiel first came to Los Angeles is revealed along with the circumstances behind Chloe and Dan breaking up.

** When Lucifer first sets foot in the suspect's club, he comments that he could get used to this place; said place will eventually become Lux.
** Turns out that Amenadiel was so pissed off at Lucifer in the ''Pilot'' not just because he had to watch over Hell while Lucifer was partying in Los Angeles, but because Lucifer tricked him into letting him stay on Earth.
** "Taco Tuesday" is mentioned by Chloe, who tells Dan that she'll pick up some tacos for dinner and suggests they make it a tradition from now on.
** Lucifer was seen about to watch ''Hot Tub High School'', which is how he recognize Chloe later on.
** When Amenadiel reports the theft of his necklace to Chloe she asks if it's a prank organised by Paolucci, Malcolm Graham's partner who he ended up killing.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Subverted. Maze having sex with the suspect to get information is [[BlackComedyRape played for comedy]] while [[Recap/Lucifer2016S02E08TripToStabbyTown an earlier episode]] had a female rape victim being played seriously... but the suspect was crying "tears of joy" afterwards, implying that he was anything ''but'' an unwilling participant.
* EnsignNewbie: Chloe is still a police officer; this it the first time she takes the initiative in an investigation, wanting to prove she has what it takes to become a detective.

* TheHedonist: The ''second'' thing Lucifer does after arriving in LA? Get laid at an orgy. (The first is [[ManOfWealthAndTaste purchasing a new suit]] to replace the outdated one he's wearing.)
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Amenadiel casually says that the only way to find someone evil is to ask for help from someone just as--if not more--evil, referring to Lucifer. This deeply hurts Lucifer, who's the punisher of evil and not its root.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Maze tries to torture the suspect but she gets so turned on by the infinite methods of hurting him she has now, in the human world, that she decides to have sex with him instead.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Lucifer has had enough of trying to win his Father's approval and decides that since he's going to be viewed as "evil" no matter what he does, he might as well rebel in earnest and stop playing his allotted part in his Father's plan. So he abandons Hell, has Maze cut his wings off, and takes up permanent residence in Los Angeles.

** The reason why Amenadiel hates Lucifer is revealed by how Lucifer tricked him into staying on Earth.

** And of course, just what sparked Lucifer to finally quit, cut off his wings and stay in Los Angeles.
