* AmbiguousSituation: It's unknown if Linda's claims that her child really is as much of a genius as she says are true. Ella is unconvinced but Dan notes that Charlie laughing at only two months ''is'' pretty advanced.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Lee/"Mr. Said Out Bitch" was simply a minor thief who got humiliated by Lucifer in previous episodes gets expanded focus here as the murder victim of the episode.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing "Lucifer" casually strolling in to save Chloe from three armed gunmen without a care in the world despite her presence making him mortal hints the twist ending that it's not really him about half a minute before TheReveal.
* GreenEyedMonster: It becomes apparent that Maze has become this by the end of the episode with her being rejected not just by Eve but also by Chloe thanks in part to their affections for said devil.

** Both Chloe and Lucifer attempt to invoke this trope; Chloe takes Maze on as her new partner and Lucifer tries to get "Mr. Said Out Bitch" to replace Chloe as the detective.

* SpringtimeForHitler: Chloe plans to lose big at the poker game, noting how "I never win." Guess who ends up with a great winning pile of chips.

* TheReveal: After Lucifer supposedly reunites with Chloe on Earth, we cut back to Hell, where Lucifer somberly notes that Chloe is fine without him coming back, revealing that whoever guy she meets, it's ''not'' him.

* BackForTheDead: Lee Garner, who is murdered sometime before the events of the episode. He does, however, follow Lucifer around to identify his murderer.

* BaitAndSwitch: The entire episode seems to be Lucifer, in his role as ruler of Hell, aiding Lee solving his own crime...and then we find it's not Lucifer at all.

* WhamLine: "So you're not going to go in there and save your lady friend?" showing us that the Lucifer who saved Chloe and Meg is not the one we've been following throughout the series.

Lucifer toys with a murder victim while Chloe and Maze investigate the death. Meanwhile, Amenadiel cleans up the club and Linda mothers a genius.

While overseeing the torture of a thief who was murdered by an unknown assailant, Lucifer becomes nostalgic of Los Angeles and decides to help identify his murderer. Back on Earth, Chloe attempts to cope with Lucifer leaving her by solving the same case with Maze.

* AngerMontage: At the end, Maze goes to Lux's penthouse and vents her abandonment issues by destroying Lucifer's piano.

* LonelyTogether: Maze kisses Chloe, thinking that their shared abandonment issues make them perfect together. However, Chloe pushes her away.
* TheOneThatGotAway: Both Lucifer and Chloe are still coping with their separation by turning to work, but are constantly reminded of their loss. It's a worse case with Lucifer; while Chloe merely has to live without him for two months, he has to experience the equivalent of ''thousands'' of Earth years without her.
* OverprotectiveDad: Amenadiel has been trying to arrest people for simple misdemeanors to make the world a better place for his son. Dan eventually manages to convince him to instead be with Charlie, instead of looking out for supposed dangers.
* TheReveal: After the scene where Lucifer apparently reunites with Chloe, we cut back to Hell, where Lucifer somberly notes that he doesn't have to go back since Chloe can live by herself, meaning whoever Chloe meets is ''not'' him.
