Lucifer Recap: Face Time 

‘s Halloween Night outing was full of treats (Maze taking Trixie “for a walk”) and tricks (namely a final scene that would seem to mark a turning point for one character).

Fresh off killing his brother Uriel, Lucifer spent much of this week’s episode on a rip-roaring bender, doing whatever he could to offset his supernatural metabolism with plenty of booze (and babes). This left Chloe confounded, having never seen her partner in crime-solving so unfocused. On top of that, Chloe had a Halloween emergency to contend with, when Maze (and her toys) accidentally scared off the babysitter. At Trixie’s suggestion, Chloe asked Maze to take her daughter trick-or-treating — which the demon did with gusto, eyeballing neighbors until they ponied up plenty to “the President of Mars” and even wowing Trixie with her makeshift “costume” (aka her real, half-gnarly face).

Elsewhere, Charlotte tried to help Amenadiel deal with the chain of events that have unfolded since her arrival on Earth, up to and including Uriel’s death. To do that, she led him to where Lucifer had buried their brother, urging him not to hold himself, but her, accountable. She also avowed that his father (Father?) would be proud of who he has become and what he has accomplished. Their scenes seemed to be leading somewhere quite specific… but we didn’t get there just yet.

Lucifer’s guilt-ridden antics came to a boil when, in the course of helping Chloe catch her killer, he begged the sniper — repeatedly — to shoot him instead of his next mark. And yet Lucifer came away unscathed, due to the killer’s “code.”

At episode’s end, while Chloe came home to find Trixie

Maze zonked out after a busy afternoon of trick-or-treating, Lucifer had a session with Dr. Linda, where he went on and on about his role in Uriel’s death, Azrael’s dagger and what not. Fed up with his “metaphors,” Dr. Linda demanded that Lucifer once and for all be honest with her about who he is.

countenance to her — leaving the good doc speechless, a bit blubbering, and maybe even petrified.

I didn’t really get into the episode until the latest ten minutes. Linda’s reaction to Lucifer, wow! Now this season is picking up.

I’m getting confused about humans and divinity. Amenadiel’s big issue last season was that human’s can’t know divinity exists because no one knows what it’ll do to them and three who got proof became insane – the killer from the first episode, the guy who stole Lucifer’s wings and Malcolm. And now it’s… okay?

I think it has to do with context. The other people who have been exposed to Lucifer’s divine countenance were driven insane because his intent was to punish them. With Linda, Lucifer did not intend to punish her, he simply wanted her to understand that he was never speaking in metaphors–that everything he has ever said to her was the exact literal truth. That’s why she didn’t end up screaming and trying to bash her own skull in. She was still affected, however. The sheer weight of the revelation was enough to paralyze her with fear, even despite his attempt to ease her into it. From the previews for the next episode, we see she isn’t insane, but she isn’t sure how she can continue on from where they left it. To be fair, that would be a lot to process!

The show uses heaven & hell characters and setups of many country histories, mythologies, philosophies, religions, etc., a little from here and a little from there. It’s got to be confusing, sometimes, for the writers. Maybe, they wrote themselves into a corner, and what the h….just wrote themsleves out of it. shhhh….maybe, we weren’t supposed to notice?

It is not about it being “okay.” Lucifer is emotionally confused right now and he is not thinking rationally. When people are in emotional turmoil they make bad decisions. So he showed her; but he has shown glimpses of himself to many people. Based on next week’s preview she obviously makes it through.

I actually wish the show would explain the transformations. Do all angels have this weird appearance? Why is Lucifer all demonic looking but his wings are all white and pure looking? He would actually look fairly stupid running around all red with those white wings. So do all the other angels get to look human except for Lucifer? Is that his punishment? But even within the show Lucifer was not sent to watch over Hell as punishment; it was just his job.

I really think they need to figure a few things out.

For a show that was a lot of fun last season, It sure has been taking itself (way too) seiously this season.

I thought having mom around would be cool – nope.

It’s kinda like they “Sleepy Hollow’ed” it.

I couldn’t disagree more with “CaptMediocre” above. I’ve been really loving this season *because* of how serious it’s been, and the excellent work it’s given the actors–Ellis, Woodside, and German especially. I think it shows real growth for this wonderful little show, but you have to admit that even season one had a lot of seriousness to it–the wings, Father Frank, Malcolm, etc.

I’ve loved the addition of “Charlotte,” although I wish they could find a way to better balance her interactions with Lucifer/Amenadiel/etc with the core friendship dynamic between Lucifer and Chloe — they’ve been working together just as much, of course, but I miss their real talks and meatier scenes from last season. That’s my main gripe.

Well, that, and I agree with “Slh” above: Maze has never landed for me. I’m not sure if it’s the acting, or the character herself, but I can’t find myself warming to her even in these new scenes with the adorable Trixie. They just unnerve me together.

On the whole, I thought this was a wonderful episode with several intriguing plot advancements. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

I loved this episode. Season two has been all about shaking up what we saw last season and it’s been great. Loved th interactions between Amenidal and their mother, though I wished she included Lucifer in her whole grief counseling, if it was even about that.

I personally adore Maze, so watching her and Trixie together was a treat. Especially when she showed her real face to Trixie and was accepted. It was a contrast to Lucifer showing his real face and being rejected.

For me, this season took everything I loved about season one and took it to the next level. Every episode so far has been really engaging and I’m looking forward to seeing how this all plays out with their mom and Uriel’s death.

Trixie has accepted both revelations because children are more free with their thinking and less jaded than we are as adults.

…and then there are those of us who have watched enough devilish movies (or End of Days periodically for seventeen years, in my case) that we have specific “proofs” in mind should we ever come across someone claiming to be the devil. ;)

Trixie brings out the best in the actors playing Lucifer and Maze — and the reaction when Trixie saw Maze’s true face, from both the child and the demon, was a quick but rewarding exchange.

great episode. although I wanted horns. Mephistopheles needs some horns :) seriously though loved the last scene should through a wrench into the spokes. While this show isn’t much like its comics counterpart I still love it. mostly because Ellis is so great in this role.

I get why people would want horns but honestly, to me that was the best part of the whole episode. The “real” Lucifer we saw didnt look monstrous or … well, devillish. He looked lost and small and alone. Wich is an absolutely brilliant move.

I believe that much we see ourselves reflects of what we are :)

Lucifer’s session with his only Therapist was ever so very intriguing to me, it is as if that Both the Mortal plane and the Immortal plane diverge into one path it is as if that both Fantasy and Reality becomes one, What we believe and What we do not. (although it is a work of fiction nonetheless!) I begun to think that this revelation will have a key role to more of the upcoming events, let us say Linda is the catalyst will it do her good? will it do her bad? There is always something in every Human of the world to get clarity with the Divines with every religion, if they really do exist why would they just watch and let the world plunge into such sufferings? Is they are not All-seeing? All-powerful? Dr. Linda sure is lucky to finally sought the Ultimate Truth that all humans want to know.

Are We Just Here to Wait for Death? Are We Just Here to Wait for Life? Some must be lucky? Some not so Lucky? Why are there people who are chosen? Why are there people left to their fate? Why? Why? Why? So many questions I assume being a Psychologist and Psychiatrist Dr. Linda was the most in depth in this kind of things if she know a lot about what is going on in one Human’s Life, Human’s Condition, Human’s Set of Thinking, Feeling etc. Ain’t the Divines feels like they are also Humane? It feels like WE created the Divines? SO many thoughts is swirling into Linda! What will happen to her? She is at the verge of Chaos and it will break her! I hope not! She has an important role to play!

I was really waiting for this, I was waiting for this exact clarity!

I loved this episode and find Lucifer very intriguing. Yes sometimes I miss his impish ways on coercing people. Contracts coming due,etc. But I think the evolution of the show has been great. Ellis is awesome portraying the depths of his character. And because I use closed captioning, I can see the lyrics and titles of the background music which has been so appropriate to the character and scenes. Great job all!
