* ObsessiveCompulsiveBarkeeping: The bartender serving booze to Lucifer keeps drying a glass. Justified in this case, since he's Gabriel in disguise. He also keeps doing it after revealing himself, largely to mock his brother.

'''Season 13, Episode 20:'''

!Beat the Devil

Written by: Robert Behrens

Directed by: Phillip Sgriccia

Air date: May 3rd, 2018

Lucifer is captured, allowing Sam and Dean to cross over into the Apocalypse World along with Castiel and Gabriel. But they run into trouble, and their prisoner has ideas of his own.

!Tropes:
* DisneyDeath: Sam is killed by vampires, but thanks to Lucifer he's not out for long.
* DrowningMySorrows: Lucifer is drinking shot after shot at the bar when we first see him, despondent over his son and situation in general. As he's an archangel, it takes a lot to even get him buzzed. Well, usually.
* HulkingOut: Rowena's mockery of Lucifer gives him enough strength to escape his bonds and almost kill her yet again.
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: The "bartender" gives himself away by using the calling Lucifer's son "Jack" when the name hadn't come up in conversation. This is almost certainly intentional.
* LooksLikeOrlok: Vampires on Apocalypse World are hairless and bestial because the human race has been thinned out too much for most of them to feed.
* ManlyTears: Shed by Dean when Samantha asks where Sam is.
* SlippingAMickey: Rowena has cooked up a knockout spell to slip into Lucifer's drink.
* VampireBitesSuck: Sam is brought down by a ragged vampire bite, jugular blood flying everywhere.
* VillainousRescue: Lucifer brings Sam back from the dead and gives him safe passage through the remaining vampires, in exchange for a chance to impress Jack.
