Recap / Lucifer (2016) S06E01 "Nothing Ever Changes Around Here"

Go To

Lucifer and Chloe attempt to celebrate their last night on Earth with a visit to a magic club that is interrupted by a murder. Meanwhile, Linda and Amenadiel have dinner with Maze and Eve.


Tropes present in the episode include:

  • All Part of the Show: When the victim's corpse flops out of a sarcophagus onstage, it takes Lucifer a while to figure out that it's an actual dead body and not part of the act.
  • And Then What?: Linda forces Eve to confront how she hasn't put any thought into what she'll actually do with an eternity by Maze's side as the ruler of Hell.
  • Call-Back: The opening scene is one to the very first scene of the pilot, complete with a return appearance by the traffic cop (whose life has gone decidedly downhill since accepting Lucifer's bribe).
  • Feet-First Introduction: The mystery person who sits on Lucifer's throne in Hell is only shown by their feet.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Maze admits that she doesn't want to return to Hell and rule as queen, but live a normal life (well, as normal as she can) on Earth.
  • Job Mindset Inertia: Chloe has difficulty accepting that she is no longer an LAPD detective and doesn't have the authority to nose around the case anymore.
  • Locked Room Mystery: Ella works out that the murder victim was killed after all the guests arrived at the club, and nobody has left since, meaning that the murderer is still present.
  • Stage Magician: The case of the week involves a legacy magician and the murder of his intended successor.
  • Time Skip: Lucifer tells the traffic cop that a month has passed since his battle against Michael in the previous episode.
