* NoDelaysForTheWicked: Amenadiel isn't exactly "wicked" but he tried to convince Abel to commit suicide because he thought (with no evidence whatsoever) that it would please God, so he wasn't at his most moral in this episode. There was no explanation given for how he found out Lucifer brought Abel back from hell, or how he found him before Lucifer and Cain, or where he got a gun.

* AssholeVictim: Pierce points out that Abel was an "asshat". Pierce/Cain was just the one who was lucky enough to win their final fight. Him ending up as the first soul in Hell supports the idea that he wasn't a good person. When he's revived in Bree's body he proves to be self-centered and has a terrible attitude towards women which takes some of the sting off him dying again at the end of the episode.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Discussed by Pierce and Lucifer. Abel is often portrayed in The Bible and religious texts as a gentle, pious man who was killed by a jealous Cain. In reality, he was just as selfish, lustful and aggressive as his brother.

* LoopholeAbuse: Basically how Lucifer intended to try and break Cain's curse; by bringing Abel back to life in a newly-deceased body, he assumed that this would essentially invalidate Cain's status as the first murderer as his victim was now alive again.
