Line #50 Recap/Lucifer2016S03E13TilDeathDoUsPart


1	In an attempt to understand Pierce, Lucifer ropes him into going undercover as a couple. Conveniently, that also helps Chloe's latest investigation.
2
3	!!Tropes present in this episode include:
4	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Charlotte does not seem at all comfortable with Maze hitting on her and invading her body space at every opportunity.
5	* AffablyEvil: The head of the Korean gang is extremely friendly and cooperative with Chloe and unconcerned about ending up in jail; it helps that Lucifer promised to give him June's secret formula in exchange for his cooperation.
6	* TheAllSolvingHammer: Maze knows a thousand and one ways of killing celestial beings, but all of them ultimately boil down to getting past their guard and stabbing them with a demon dagger.
7	* BadassInANiceSuit: Lucifer takes on Korean Power alone while dressed in one of his trademark three-piece suits.
8	* BrutalHonesty: The leader of the Korean Power, to Chloe after cutting a deal with Lucifer to get his old cook's improved formula...
9	-->'''Chloe''': ... how did you know we wanted to speak to you?
10	-->'''Gang Leader''': In my line of work, word gets around, you know?
11	-->'''Chloe''': And what line of work is that?
12	-->'''Gang Leader''': Oh, I run the Korean Power.
13	-->'''Chloe''': ''(look of disbelief)'' Oh.
14	-->'''Gang Leader''': Uh, we are a criminal organisation, specialising in extortion and drug dealing. And yes, Sandra Jang used to cook our Ecstasy.
15	* ChainsawGood: Lucifer's first idea on how to kill Cain / Pierce.
16	* TheComicallySerious: [[TheStoic Pierce]] sports an unchanging scowl of irritation throughout the UndercoverAsLovers charade.
17	* DiegeticSwitch: When Lucifer walks into Korean Power's base, [=SHINee's=] ''Lucifer'' can be heard faintly playing in the club, only to switch as Lucifer starts beating up {{Mooks}}.
18	* ExactWords: When Lucifer says that he wouldn't say something, he wasn't lying. Saying the same thing ''in Korean'' is a different matter, however...
19	* FriendshipMoment: Lucifer and Pierce have one in the middle of the party; it gets turned into a straight-up HoYay moment when Lucifer [[ShutUpKiss plants one on Pierce]].
20	* GirlOnGirlIsHot: When Maze suggests a threesome between herself, Charlotte, and Dan, the latter is visibly sweating and pulling at his collar to get some air.
21	* GuyOnGuyIsHot: Chloe seems to enjoy watching Lucifer and Marcus kissing.
22	* HallwayFight: Lucifer beats the Korean mobs to kpop music, making his way to their boss in a very Daredevil-esque fashion.
23	* HealingFactor: Pierce's is so potent that he can recover from absolutely every injury, up to and including jumping into an ''active volcano''. That being said, either getting back out or the recovery took a while.
24	-->'''Pierce:''' That was a rough six months.
25	* HypocriticalHumor: About Lucifer's idea to storm Korean Power's base:
26	-->'''Chloe:''' You can't just walk in there in your three-piece suit and say, "[[BriefAccentImitation Hello, drug dealers!]]".\
27	'''Lucifer:''' ''(slightly offended)'' I would never do that.\
28	''(cut to Lucifer walking into the karaoke club)''\
29	'''Lucifer:''' Annyeong, mayag-sang!! [[note]]As the entry for IResembleThatRemark states below, trust Lucifer to say it anyway. In Korean.[[/note]]
30	* ImplacableMan: Lucifer calmly walks down the corridor in the karaoke club while fighting bad guys that pop up from the adjecent doors.
31	* INeedAFreakingDrink: Dan's reaction when he sees Maze propositioning Charlotte. Later, Charlotte also gets a drink to help cope with the unexpected attention.
32	* IResembleThatRemark: Contrary to what Chloe believes, Lucifer is ''not'' going to just walk into the karaoke bar in his three-piece suit and say "Hello, drug dealers!"; he's going to say it in ''Korean''.
33	* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Lucifer and Pierce in their UndercoverAsLovers charade, with the ManlyGay "Marc" and the CampGay "Luke".
34	* MistakenForCheating: Anya thought that her husband Brian was cheating on her with Sandra, causing the latter's death. It turns out that Sandra was his dealer.
35	* NotSoAboveItAll: Chloe rushes to the window to see with her own eyes Lucifer kissing Pierce.
36	* NotWhatItLooksLike: Brian really wasn't having an affair with June; he was just buying drugs from her.
37	* NoSell: Lucifer stabs Pierce InTheBack with a "demon steel" knife that he claims could kill even him. He's genuinely surprised when Pierce pulls it out and walks off.
38	-->'''Lucifer:''' No, I-- I don't understand, how does this not work?
39	* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Pierce apologizes to Lucifer for behaving like an ass; in turn, Lucifer says that while he may not have all the answers, he ''is'' a man of his word and is going to do everything that he can for Pierce. They're talking about Lucifer's promise to help Pierce die; their guests think that they're talking about [[ItMakesSenseInContext their marriage]].
40	* {{Polyglot}}: In an earlier episode, Lucifer boasted that he can speak ''every'' language, and he was shown to speak Chinese. In this episode, he speaks Korean, adding further evidence that his boast is true.
41	* RefugeInAudacity: Lucifer walks straight into a gang's base, greets them as drug dealers, tells them about an upcoming police raid, and demands to talk to their boss. Of course, SuperStrength and NighInvulnerability help back this up.
42	* RecklessGunUsage: An aversion. When Lucifer takes a gun away from an opponent, as is usual for action scenes he ejects the magazine. However he then takes the rare extra step of ejecting the round already in the chamber, ''actually'' rendering the gun unusable before tossing it. (Of course he's able to do this one-handed by working the slide against his leg, difficult to do if you don't have super strength, and possibly bringing it back into being played straight if you're not invulnerable.)
43	* SharpDressedMan: Chloe {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}s Lucifer's status as this. Subverted later, when Lucifer dons something other than a three-piece suit for a change: a fluffy pink sweater.
44	* ShipSinking: Pierce preemptively torpedoes it, telling Chloe that he's not relationship material.
45	* ShutUpKiss: Possibly combined with ForcefulKiss; "Luke" pulls "Marc" into one to cement their renewed partnership.
46	* SlapSlapKiss: What Lucifer and Pierce's argument appears to be to their party guests.
47	* ShoutOut:
48	** When Cain tries to explain how his HealingFactor works, Lucifer interrupts him and sums it up as "ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Rules".
49	** A high school chemistry teacher cooking drugs on the side. [[Series/BreakingBad Sound familiar]]?
50	** Lucifer comments to [[Creator/TomWelling Pierce]] that "everyone has a [[Series/{{Smallville}} Kryptonite]]."
51	* UndercoverAsLovers: Lucifer and Pierce have to pose as a married couple. Needless to say, HilarityEnsues.
52	* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: In an attempt to lure out the person sending the notes, Lucifer dons a Stars-and-Stripes patterned Speedo and aviator shades with the flag on the lenses and dances around on the driveway.
53	* WomanScorned: Maze tells Lucifer that trying to come up with ways to kill Cain helps her brainstorm on a little problem of her own.[[note]]Amenadiel and Linda getting together behind her back, in case you were wondering.[[/note]]
