* WasItAllALie: Not on Lucifer’s part, but Chloe worries that her own feelings for him are because she’s a “gift” to him, it isn’t until Amenadiel posits that the only thing being a “miracle child” did was make it so Lucifer couldn’t reflect her desires back at her and he chose to make himself vulnerable around her that she realizes her feelings for him are a choice.

* SwappedRoles: Amenadiel takes Lucifer's place working with Chloe while Lucifer sticks with Dan on the "grunt work" at the office. Adding to the hilarity, Dan and Lucifer have developed a "bracelet bros" bond, similar to Dan and Amenadiel's OddFriendship and bromance.

Not an example; while the nun made an unwanted advance, she was just misreading what Amenadiel was telling her, not abusing or harassing him in any way (and once he clarifies he's not interested in her, she's very apologetic and sincerely ashamed at herself for making a pass at him), and Lucifer, Dan, and Chloe all react before Amenadiel even begins to pull away, and besides Comedic Sociopath Lucifer, the others are clearly shocked at what happened.


* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Lucifer convinces Dan not to intervene and to let Amenadiel 'put in the work' when one of the nuns that he's questioning abruptly kisses him...even though he's clearly shocked and straining to get away from her. Chloe ''doesn't'' find it amusing, but she doesn't do anything to stop it either.

* CompellingVoice: Amenadiel has gained an ability like this, similar to Lucifer and Michael's [[note]]though it's entirely possible he had it the entire time and didn't realize it because he was never put in a position to use it until now[[/note]]. Apparently, it allows him to reflect the love the devout have for God back at them, causing them to be entranced by him and more susceptible to doing what he wants. Hence, it works on all the nuns at the convent, but not on Destiny Page, who is faking her turn to faith as a publicity stunt to promote her new album.
