* ShownTheirWork: The Satanists aren't portrayed as some crazy evil cult, but just regular, law abiding citizens who follow a misunderstood religion. The high priest even mentions that all the rituals are just for fun, and that what attracted him to Satanism was the core tenets of free will, being honest, and other morally upright beliefs that the actual Satanic Church upholds.

to:

* HollywoodSatanism: Averted. They're really a case of DarkIsNotEvil, and more misguided at worst than anything else. Lucifer finds the whole thing irritating and gets annoyed when the group starts worshipping him in person. That said, when Malcolm starts killing them Lucifer is furious as they were ultimately harmless.
-->'''Lucifer:''' These kids were pretending to be bad, but they weren't, they were innocent, so I would never hurt them, I'm not a monster.

Added DiffLines:

The episode opens with a horrifying sacrifice in a Satanic temple. [[BaitAndSwitch Except it's just foreplay]], and Rose, the "victim", is very much turned on by it. Her boyfriend, Corazón, wants to bring the ''real'' Lucifer into it - but lest you think Lucifer himself is showing up for a sexy roleplay romp, Rose ends up sacrificed for real. In the meantime, Maze has been throwing knives at Lucifer to test his immortality, but with the exception of a demon dagger, none of them work. Maze has been sleeping with Amenadiel - a ''lot'' - but Lucifer thinks it's time for his dear brother to go. Chloe shows up before the subject goes further. She needs Lucifer for a case, and it's made clear why when it's revealed that "HAIL LUCIFER" has been carved into poor Rose's back.

Lucifer, eager to avoid mortality-by-Chloe, keeps his distance, but things only get more complicated when Corazón winds up dead, too.
