Added DiffLines:

* CallBack: When discussing her breakup with Ella, Chloe confesses that it's not the first time a man's run out on her when things get serious, and it's getting hard not to wonder if she's the problem. She's presumably referring to [[Recap/Lucifer2016S02E14CandyMorningstar that time Lucifer disappeared for weeks and returned with a stripper wife]].


Added DiffLines:

* DomesticAbuse: It's not a stretch to interpret Pierce's behaviour towards Chloe in this episode (showering her with elaborate gifts and praise) as love bombing. Then he presents her with an ultimatum disguised as respecting her boundaries by telling her he'll back off entirely if she doesn't accept his proposal.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: When Marcus tries to recover Chloe with gifts, Lucifer tries to beat him by giving her the same gifts but in more luxurious versions, not only does it not work, but it makes things worse.
* CannotSpitItOut: Linda has to use Lucifer's "what do you desire?" trick to convince him to tell Chloe how he really feels. Unfortunately, by the time he gets to her home she has already accepted Pierce's marriage proposal.

** Lucifer himself ended up screwing it up even worse than Ella. He set up this lovely little dinner for Chloe then instead of confessing his feelings, he makes a dig at Pierce. It’s implied if he had come right out and told her he loved her, she would have chosen him.
* ObfuscatingDisability: Under Lucifer's "deepest desire" trick, Miles reveals his car accident didn't harm his leg at all. Rather, he saw it as a great way to enhance his career as a dance teacher by making it seem like he could have been a legend if not for this "accident." He thus goes around with a prosthetic over his real leg and a cane to cover how he's perfectly healthy, he just wasn't good enough to be a real dancer.
