Heartwarming / Lucifer (2016)

The Devil and his first love.

Season 1

Episode 1 - Pilot

• The beginning, with the conversation between Lucifer and Delilah. When she comes to him for advice, he rather sweetly tells her to "pull herself together" and turn her life around.
• Some of Lucifer and Chloe's interactions are this, whenever he's not annoying her. He says with complete sincerity that she has good instincts and that she should ignore the other cops because they feel threatened by her. And then later, when Dan is calling her out on not closing the case quick enough and claiming that's the smart thing to do, Lucifer bites back with, "She is smart. You're the dimwit." Judging by Chloe's reaction both times, this is probably the first time someone has ever taken her side.
  • The talk between them later that evening at Lux, when she's telling Lucifer her life story and says that no one wants to work with her. He immediately tells her that he's available. There's definitely some flirting going on between them.
• Lucifer's interaction with Trixie. Not to mention scaring the girl who bullied her.
• Lucifer actually going out of his way to save a wounded Chloe. This, however, made Amenadiel and Maze very suspicious of him.

Episode 2 - Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil.

• During Chloe's acting days, a paparazzo made her life a living hell and she despises him to this day. However, when she realizes that he confessed to a crime that he did not commit, she is determined to prove his innocence.
• The idea of Trixie treating the Devil like a favorite uncle, racing to give him hugs when he visits, is just priceless. Children Are Innocent, indeed.
• Chloe shamefacedly explains to Trixie about the film she did a nude scene in, something she's clearly been dreading for years. It turns out that Trixie not only already knows, but she's seen the movie and liked it. She enthusiastically describes her favorite scene, and Chloe sheepishly agrees that that part was Actually Pretty Funny. Seeing the movie transform for Chloe from My Greatest Failure into something she can bond with her daughter over is very sweet.

Episode 3 - The Would-Be Prince of Darkness

• Ty and Debra reuniting at the end. Yes, they're both idiots and their relationship is all sorts of messed up, but as Ty puts it:
  Ty: You're crazy, but you're my crazy!

Episode 4 - Manly Whatnots

• Chloe is annoyed and flustered by naked Lucifer... until she sees the scars on his back where his wings used to be. Then all her self-consciousness completely disappears as she approaches Lucifer, concerned and shocked, even though the scars are old and healed over.
  • When she goes to touch them and Lucifer grabs her wrist reflexively, Chloe isn't at all alarmed. Her entire focus is for Lucifer's state.
  • This post explains the scene in detail.

Episode 6 - Favorite Son

• Chloe admits why she really doesn't want Lucifer to be a criminal (meaning she'd have to arrest him): despite how annoying he is, she really likes working with him. Just watch the expression on Lucifer's face when she admits this.
  • This is followed by Lucifer honestly replying that he's never lied to her, and never will.

Episode 7 - Wingman

• At the holy relic auction, Lucifer and Amenadiel have a laugh with each other over Saint Paul's manacles. They could have been good friends if things went differently.
• At the very end, Amenadiel miraculously heals a cop who's been in a coma for some time, right after the doctors pull the plug on his life support. It turns out he has ulterior motives, but you can't help feeling happy for the cop's family.

Episode 9 - A Priest Walks into a Bar

• Lucifer and Father Frank bonding over playing the piano. Lucifer's clearly enjoying himself, and when Chloe walks in on them, the look of sheer "d'aaaw" on her face is priceless.
• Father Frank assuring Lucifer God still loves him and has a good plan for Lucifer.
• Lucifer truly being affected by Frank's murder to the point of nearly killing the murderer right then and there. He only stopped because Chloe asked what Father Frank would want.
• Throughout the episode, Lucifer has given out cynical commentary about Heaven, has mocked Frank's faith, and has acted like a derisive jerk whenever someone makes an appreciative comment about God or the afterlife. However, the song he's playing on the piano when Chloe finds him at the end of the episode is "Knocking on Heaven's Door", the same song Lucifer had earlier mocked Frank for playing.
• Lucifer had, until this point in the series, had some minor Rage Against the Heavens moments, but Frank's death set him off on the most epic one he'd delivered, which has added impact because the previous ones had him bemoaning his own fate whereas this one was his outrage at an injustice committed against someone else.
• Chloe breaking off her time with Dan to go meet Lucifer because she knew that Lucifer was hurting over Frank. She then goes on to call Lucifer a friend and the two play a duet on the piano.
  • Made more prominent because Dr. Linda had previously asked Lucifer if he had any friends, and he was unable to answer. Lucifer's face at Chloe's statement says it all.

Episode 10 - Pops

• Despite herself, even Maze is helpless to resist Trixie's charms and the two are soon fast friends.
  • Followed up by Maze going to Linda's office to tell her about the friendship. Awwww.
• Lucifer saving Chloe from the fire, and then joking about it afterwards.
• Lucifer is horrified when Chloe shows up at the bar, drunk and upset after "Dan" rejected her (actually the Dirty Cop replying) and throws herself at him... and he pulls away. He then hugs her and lets her briefly vent before she falls asleep. Even Lucifer admits he doesn't know why he's doing the right thing!
• Javier was going to give his son the restaurant, despite their complicated relationship.
• Javier's desire: "I just wanted to have one more meal with my dad."

Episode 11 - St. Lucifer

• Chloe admits to Lucifer that she can let her guard down around him because he makes her vulnerable (in a good way). This is something she admits has never happened with anyone before - which may or may not include Dan, her ex-husband.
• Before the above, it's revealed that Lucifer anonymously donated money to a kid's scholarship fund.

Episode 13 - Take Me Back to Hell

• Maze uses the last Feather of Lucifer's Wings to save Amenadiel's life.
• When Lucifer is shot by Malcolm and dying, he actually does try praying to "Dad." He promises to do whatever He wants him to do, playing whatever role or going wherever He needs him. And all that Lucifer asks in return? Save Chloe.
  • What does God do? Send him to Hell just long enough to warn him about his mother's escape before bringing him back to Earth so he can save Chloe. Sounds like God is starting to like this side of His son.

Season 2

Episode 4 - Lady Parts

• Courtesy of Maze when jumping to Chloe's defence: "No one calls my skank a skank!"

Episode 5 - Weaponizer

• Lucifer's protectiveness over Chloe is just adorable to watch.
• Lucifer revealing that everyone looked up Amenadiel as their "own personal superstar". Yes even Lucifer though he ruins the moment telling his older brother that he was a "power-hungry dick" about it.
  • Lucifer trying to lift Amenadiel's spirits and try and convince him that his older brother can more than handle Uriel unaware of the his fall and lost of powers.
• Even though it comes in the middle of an absolutely tearjeaking moment but Goddess' reaction to Lucifer killing Uriel. She sees him upset and rather than attacking him or yelling at him for killing Uriel she tearfully comforts him, hugging him tight and letting him cry.

Episode 6 - Monster

• During trick or treating; Trixie wishes Maze would dress up. Maze reveals her true face (half-human, half demon as in the comic). Trixie simply looks up and yells "Cool!", causing Maze to smile. Doubles as a funny moment.
  • The fact that Maze let her guard down enough to show her true face to a little girl and was attached enough to worry about what she would think. Her shaky smile of relief says it all.
  • Trixie's "President of Mars" costume is made up of a vinyl jacket, plastic margarita glasses, Mardi Gras beads, and a leather whip — all things Maze had lying around. Maze didn't just take her trick-or-treating, she helped her make her costume. Awww!
  • Then there's Maze intimidating a guy into giving Trixie more candy. Then adding some cash.
• When Chloe comes home, she finds Maze and Trixie cuddling together on the couch, having fallen asleep while watching a horror movie. Then she puts a blanket over them. Not to mention, all this comes after Chloe and Maze had a big fight over Maze's, shall we say, less than child-friendly taste in decor.
• Lucifer finally letting down his guard enough to show Dr. Martin his real face. To the audience, it's also the first time we get to see Lucifer's face not being used to scare or as a weapon. Though the doctor doesn't react at all, his smile seemed very peaceful and serene, despite scaring the doctor into silence.
  • The scene includes a touching use of book ends. At the beginning of the episode, Linda tells Lucifer her door is always open, despite his rejection of her help. At the end of the episode, Lucifer leaves her office clearly saddened but hopeful - he leaves the door slightly ajar, echoing her sentiment from earlier.

Episode 7 - My Little Monkey

• After being rejected the first time, Maze goes back to Linda in order to tell her about her new job as a bounty hunter and show her the pay check. When Linda doesn't answer, Maze is about to leave sadly...but then Linda opens the door and asks how they can still be friends. Maze assures her that despite what Linda found out about them, nothing's changed.
• Ella volunteers to dig through the archived files that Chloe's dad was working on to look for a connection to Joe Fields' murder. Chloe tells her she doesn't have to but Ella admits she already started looking. Chloe is so grateful she pulls Ella into a hug.
• After spending the episode trying to act like Dan, Chloe tells Lucifer flat out that she needs her partner back...and that's Lucifer Morningstar. His smile says it all.
• The ending scene between Lucifer, Chloe and Trixie.
  Lucifer: I don't care much for my dad. But...you...clearly care about yours...which is...why you followed in his footsteps, I suppose. W-what I'm trying to say is...I think he would be proud of you. (Chloe starts to cry, and Lucifer looks confused) My apologies, Detective. I didn't mean to hurt you.
  Chloe: No...no...it's...
  Lucifer: Then why are you...crying?
  Chloe: Just shut up. (hugs him)
  • The hug in itself. Chloe lets her guard down and cries into him, letting him comfort her. And Lucifer, while confused at first, gradually melts into the hug with a little smile of wonderment. There should be a trope for Big Damn Hug.

Episode 8 - Trip to Stabby Town

• Lucifer finds the last wielder of the blade, standing over the last body in complete shock, unable to believe that she killed someone. To his horror, he discovers that she wasn't taking retribution for a petty grudge - she was actually raped by the yoga instructor years before, and that was what drove her to use the blade. So when Chloe and Dan show up, what does he do? Speaks on her behalf and explains that she acted in self-defense - that is, that she was attacked and that she had no choice but to use the blade.
  Lucifer: I think in this case, justice has actually been served.

Episode 9 - Homewrecker

• Lucifer and Chloe's adorable dancing. That is all.
  • Before that, when Lucifer is throwing a party in order to prevent Lux from being demolished, the police show up. Chloe is with them and sends the other officers away, saying she'll take care of it. Then when they're gone, she holds Lucifer's gaze...before telling him to turn the music back on.
    Lucifer: Does that mean you're on my side now?
    Chloe: Lucifer, this is your home. I've always been on your side.
• The murderer of Dean Cooper turns out to be Eric Cooper's fiancée. She killed him when he attempted to blackmail her with false evidence that she cheated. However, upon hearing this, Eric attempts to take the fall in her place, which leads to them both confessing to the crime. They don't care that they'll go to jail, so long as they have each other.
  • Before that, Lucifer is angry on the fiancée's behalf when he discovers that a guy created false evidence that she'd cheated.
• Chloe calls in a favour and makes Lux a historical site, so it can never be torn down. For the first time, Lucifer is actually speechless.

Episode 10 - Quid Pro Ho

• Despite still being in denial about his feelings for Chloe, Lucifer's protective instincts are still firmly in place. While talking with his mother, he tries to downplay his feelings...until Charlotte rather flippantly reveals that she almost blew Chloe up. Cue red devil eyes.
• Even if it means her father's killer will go free, Chloe refuses to call Lucifer a liar on the stand. The result is them finally having that dinner he owes her.
• Dan and Maze both care about Chloe enough that they ensure that if Chloe can't get the legal system to give her justice for her father's murder, they'll ensure that she, even unknowingly, will have vengeance.

Episode 11 - Stewardess Interruptus

• For all Lucifer's casual attitude, he actually does remember all his sex partners by name. And it's a long list.
• After wanting to prove himself to Chloe, Lucifer has an epiphany and tells her that she's special, and deserves someone better than him. Chloe says, "You're probably right..." And then she kisses him.
  • While he's listing why she deserves better than him, the things he says about Chloe reveal how well he knows her.
• Lucifer shows an unusual amount of anger and disgust with the killer, giving him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech complete with showing off his Devil face. His reasoning? The man promised the victim that he would fulfill her every desire, then killed her and referred to her as just some "stupid bitch".
• After hearing several of his exes say that the sex with him was meaningless, Lucifer's glee vanishes. Dan notices and actually goes out of his way to make him feel better. A great way to show just how far they've come with their tentative friendship.

Episode 12 - Love Handles

• Lucifer and Chloe acting adorably awkward around each other.
• When Chloe finds Lucifer in a room full of girls, she's angry...until she realizes that he's just sitting with them, doing nothing. He tells her that he was working...and also asking for advice about her.
  • One of the girls says that Chloe is pretty. Chloe actually looks touched by the compliment.
• After Lucifer saves the last two victims, Chloe runs to hug him. Lucifer realizes that their relationship is real, and their foreheads touch in a cute moment.
• Maze and Mom call Lucifer to tell him about Chloe. But when he arrives, Lucifer happily explains that he and Chloe are officially together. Seeing him truly happy for the first time in possibly eons, Maze is unable to tell him the truth and immediately backs out of the confession, attempting to leave with him. It probably would have all worked out if Lucifer hadn't found the picture...

Episode 13 - A Good Day to Die

• Despite the fact that, for all Lucifer knows, Chloe could be working with his Father to manipulate him (she's not), he still immediately attempts to rush her to hospital, driving like crazy to get there.
• When Lucifer tells Dan that he's going to get the formula for the antidote, Dan asks how. Lucifer states simply that Dan won't like what he has planned. Instead of railing on him for the details, Dan just nods in understanding and tells Lucifer to do what he has to do to save Chloe. These two truly have come a long way.
• Amenadiel has been taking his Mother's side for most of the season. But when she walks away from Lucifer's plan to save Chloe and expects him to follow, he doesn't. He states that Chloe doesn't deserve to die, and wants to help her.
  • The plan itself has Lucifer putting a lot of trust in his friends and family. He has Amenadiel guard Chloe so the doctors don't move her (a job he takes very seriously), has Maze kill him by stopping his heart, and then has Linda resurrect him by re-starting his heart.
  • Maze isn't just doing this for Lucifer. "We have to [do this]. Chloe's life depends on it."
  • When it's time for him to die, Maze can't bring herself to do it, leading to Lucifer killing himself.
  • And then, when Lucifer gets stuck in Hell, Maze wants to go after him, but can't because she's a demon, and has no soul. Linda then volunteers to go, stating that she's "done things"; things that would probably get her sent to Hell. In other words, she's willing to face Hell in order to get her friend back.
    • When Linda suggests it, Maze tells her flat out, "NO."
  • Then, when all hope seems lost, Mother shows up and volunteers to go get Lucifer, despite being terrified of Hell.
    Lucifer's mother: I have a paralyzing fear of the place, but I would face a thousand Hells to save my son!
• Lucifer's mother, period. She spends most of the season as a Manipulative Bitch, until Lucifer gets trapped in Hell. She goes down to save him, despite being terrified of the place, and not only does she manage to pull him out of his own personal Hell (killing Uriel over and over) she has a My God, What Have I Done? moment, realizing that everything is her fault. She confesses to manipulating Lucifer and tearfully embraces Uriel.
  • The mere mention of Chloe and the fact that she's dying is enough to snap Lucifer out of it.
  • Despite his mother admitting to manipulating him and being the cause of all this, Lucifer doesn't leave her behind in Hell and drags her back with him.
• When Lucifer first walks through the door and finds sees Uriel (just an illusion), he's overwhelmed with happiness to see his brother and embraces him. Especially poignant because of his usual uncomfortable reaction to hugs.
• Amenadiel meets Trixie, and she hugs him, calling him a good person.
  • Unlike everyone else who has a reaction to the black American being introduced as the white Englishman's brother, Trixie simply nods as if the thought this is something in any way out of the ordinary never even crosses her mind.
• All season Amenadiel has been experiencing a loss of faith and corresponding loss of his powers, leaving him feeling impotent and useless. But when his brother's life is on the line, he stands like a rock guarding Chloe's hospital room, with nary a doubt in his mind.
• The two brothers reuniting after Lucifer gets back from Hell.

Episode 14 - Candy Morningstar

• Lucifer once again asked Amenadiel to watch over Chloe while he was gone. Amenadiel did this without complaint.
  • Not only that, but Amenadiel is actually concerned about Chloe's feelings, and calls Lucifer out for hurting her.
• Even though Lucifer is definitely making things worse, his actions are not for selfish reasons; he truly believes that he's doing what's best for Chloe, even if that's "protecting" her from himself and her own feelings (which he doesn't believe are her own).
• Lucifer sings "Eternal Flame" to Chloe. While she's annoyed at first, she does end up smiling, and eventually accepts Lucifer back as her partner.
• Chloe saves Lucifer's life, and then they joke about it afterwards. "I was aiming for you."
• Candy telling Chloe that she was all Lucifer ever talked about when they were in Vegas, and that her nearly dying seriously messed him up.
• The ending shows that the marriage was fake, but Candy and Lucifer look like they're genuinely friends. Lucifer even saved her life when he was in Vegas.
  • Candy tries to give back her expensive wedding ring but Lucifer insists she keep it as a gift.
  • Candy also tells Lucifer not to mess up what he has with Chloe. Lucifer admits that he's trying not to.

Episode 15 - Deceptive Little Parasite

• Lucifer buys Chloe a coffee before their case, just the way she likes it. He's clearly trying to make up for what happened, even if he doesn't fully understand why he hurt her.
• Lucifer and Trixie's interactions are both hilarious and adorable.
  • After Trixie admits that she's scared that her mother's job could get said mother killed, Lucifer comforts her in his own way. Chloe's smile as she watches them says it all.
• Also funny, but Maze showing up and pretending to be Chloe's wife. When it comes down to it, she really is a good friend.
• Chloe and Trixie's talk at the end of the episode. Despite her difficult job, Chloe is a good mom.
• When Lucifer finally ignites the blade there's tears in his eyes. Amenadiel notices, and the smile immediately leaves his face and he looks concerned for his brother.
  • Then, when the blade goes out and Lucifer can't light it again, Charlotte tries to pressure him into it. Amenadiel immediately tells her to leave Lucifer alone. Despite spending most of the episode bickering, they're still brothers and Amenadiel will stick up for Lucifer when needed.

Episode 16 - God Johnson

• Lucifer's interactions with God Johnson...until it's revealed that Johnson isn't God at all.
• Lucifer attempting to get his parents back together. He claims he's taking revenge on them, but his smile as he watches them dance says otherwise.
• In a weird way, Amenadiel's creepy behaviour towards Chloe's "date" could be seen as this. He's the big brother who sees some other guy making moves on his brother's girl, and is trying to scare him away.
• When he's back to normal, God Johnson tells Lucifer he's sorry if he said anything upsetting when he wasn't himself. God or not, he still seems like a friendly and polite man.
  • Lucifer's immediate warm reassurance that what Johnson did say was lovely. Even if it leads to his chilling bitterness over how his real father would never say such things to him.

Episode 17 - Sympathy for the Goddess

• Dan takes a frustrated Amenadiel out for drinks, and the two surprisingly get along really well.
• Amenadiel finds out that the final piece of the Flaming Sword is with God's "favourite son," which he assumes means Lucifer. Instead, it's the necklace Amenadiel has worn all along that responds to the other two pieces being united. After several episodes of irritation that everything seems to be centred on Lucifer, Amenadiel looks stunned to realise that he's the favourite.

Episode 18 - The Good, the Bad, and the Crispy

• Instead of either giving in to his revenge and setting Charlotte loose on God, or sending her back to Hell, Lucifer Takes a Third Option: He opens a portal to the void, where she can create her own world away from God.
• Charlotte, as in the human whose body was hijacked by a celestial being, is left alive when the Goddess goes through the portal. She no doubt has a lot to deal with what with everything Mom did, but remember, she was dead when her body was possessed. She's been given a second chance at life, which she will hopefully make good use of.
• The hospital scene at the end where we can see that Lucifer is visibly shaken by what happened to his friend.
• After two seasons, Lucifer finally decides to tell Chloe the truth about him. He gets abducted and dumped in the desert before he can, but the fact that he decided to shows that he's finally moving forwards with their friendship.
• Despite spending the season slowly losing his angelic powers, seeing Linda at death's door and at Maze's desperate plea, Amenadiel manages to force his powers to work by will alone despite the strain in order to help the human he considers a close friend.
• The fact that Lucifer spends the entire episode in protective mode over Chloe. Sure, she's a miracle child and was possibly put in his path purposely by God, but he still cares about her and won't let anything happen to her.
• When Maze claims she doesn't care about humans, Lucifer tells her "Nice try, but I know there's a few you care about" while glancing at Trixie (and referring also to Linda and Chloe). Maze glances at Trixie, too, then agrees to help.
• When Lucifer throws the flaming sword into the void he makes sure to grab Amenadiel's necklace back from the sword showing he truly does care about Amenadiel.
• The very end, for those who haven't seen what comes later, makes it seem like God gave Lucifer his wings back as a reward. The truth is arguably even more heartwarming. Finally, after countless millennia, Lucifer has unconsciously given himself his wings back because he's started to feel like he's a good person. As we learn in the season 3 premiere, he's also lost the ability to manifest his Devil face, meaning he no longer sees himself as a monster.
• When Lucifer splits up the Flaming Sword, throwing two thirds of it into the void after his mother, he makes sure the part he keeps is Amenadiel's necklace. He may not have agreed with Amenadiel's awe at being gifted the key piece of the Sword, but he's making sure he gets it back.

Season 3

Episode 1 - They're Back, Aren't They?

• While it was an attempt to convince Linda to cut his wings off, Lucifer never lies. He feels bad about what happened to her, and was trying to make it up to her with all the food.
• Lucifer tries to finally tell Chloe the truth. Sure, it backfires since he's lost his devil face, but the moment before, when he was nervous and she assured him that everything was going to be fine... It gives a good indicator that when she finally finds out, she may take it well after all.
• Amenadiel's reaction to finding out that Lucifer has his wings back. Is he jealous? Angry? Upset, since he still doesn't have his powers back? Nope. He's just happy for his brother, and excited at the thought that God may have finally forgiven him.
  • Likewise, Lucifer is concerned that his brother still doesn't have his wings and powers back, to the extent that not only does he not tell Amenadiel about his own wings returning through fear of upsetting him, he also arranges for his brother to have a massage.
• An easy one to overlook: Lucifer split the pieces of the flaming sword between dimensions to avoid further calamity after exiling Goddess, but notice that he made certain to keep the part he knew mattered to his brother: the necklace. He even states as such when he gives it back.
• Ella and Amenadiel's chat.
• Despite being annoyed with Lucifer at the beginning of the episode, and repeatedly stating that he's her partner and not the other way around, Chloe stands up to Marcus and states that she is his partner, and he's hers. She stands up for her friend, showing that while their friendship is still damaged it's not beyond repair.

Episode 2 - The One with the Baby Carrot

• During a session, Lucifer notices Linda wincing and immediately asks if she's OK, and if she's really ready to come back to work. Compare to season one, when he would've been too caught up in his own issues to notice.
• In spite of the fact that she's still recovering from her injuries, Linda agrees to help Amenadiel dispose of Lucifer's discarded wings.
• After Marcus tells Lucifer he can't involve Chloe in his search for the Sinnerman, Lucifer naturally chafes at the idea... until Marcus points out that Chloe has Trixie to take care of, at which point Lucifer reluctantly agrees to keep Chloe out of his search.

Episode 3 - Mr. & Mrs. Mazikeen Smith

• Chloe and Lucifer both acting like mother hens towards Maze, and having some cute friendship moments along the way. The best being when they're interrogating the lawyer; they only have to exchange a look in order to communicate (that Chloe wants Lucifer to do his mojo).
• The bond between Maze and Trixie is adorable.
  • Trixie actually puts herself into Maze's bag, saying, "Someone has to watch her back!"
• The fact that Dan gave up his vacation in order to help Maze, if only because a concerned Chloe asked him to.
• Maze ends up forming a bond with Rivers, her bounty. He asks her to come with him on the run, but she declines, saying she has ties that she can't live without.
• At the end, after coming home, Maze is sitting with her friends/family, drinking wine. This includes Lucifer, Chloe, Trixie and Linda. It's a very sweet scene.

Episode 4 - What Would Lucifer Do?

• Amenadiel realizes his true purpose: to be there for Lucifer and help him. Even when Lucifer tries to push him away by insulting him, Amenadiel realizes what he's doing and holds his own.
  • He figures out this purpose through Dan, who helped him out of a situation before having a drink with him.
• Ella's story about encountering Marcus at the coffee machine, and Marcus passing her the cream and sugar. It doesn't seem like much to Chloe, but Ella makes a big deal about it because it means Marcus cares enough to remember how she takes her coffee, despite otherwise acting very coldly professional around her. Given what happens later in the episode, it seems like Ella's assessment is spot-on.
• Crossing over into Tear Jerker. After acting out all episode and being a jerk to everyone around him, when Lucifer hears that Chloe was in a shoot-out he rushes to the scene to see if she's all right. Even after learning she came out of it unscathed, he continues to beat himself up for not being there for her.
• After several episodes of being cold, critical, and dismissive, Marcus shows how he really feels about Chloe by taking a bullet for her. Unfortunately subverted later: Marcus was trying to get himself killed as Chloe's proxy.

Episode 5 - Welcome Back, Charlotte Richards

• Lucifer is sympathetic to Charlotte's situation, especially after he figures out that she was in Hell after she died. He's helping her make better choices with her life, and the two of them begin to form a rather sweet friendship.

Episode 6 - Vegas with Some Radish

• The ending. Lucifer returns to his penthouse and finds Chloe asleep in his bed. He apologizes for taking off on her birthday and not telling her, explains why he didn't tell her and admits that he doesn't want to lie to her again. He then opens the safe and reveals that her birthday present was inside (the fact that he kept her birthday present in a hidden safe speaks volumes). Lucifer then presents her with the present: a necklace made from the bullet she shot him with in season 1. He makes a joke, they share a laugh, and then they hug.
• Candy thanks Lucifer for saving her and encourages him to go to Chloe. He in turn hugs her goodbye and tells her to take care.
• Candy knowing the name of the girl who got killed in her place because she let her stay with her after she broke up with her boyfriend.
• The flashback of how Lucifer and Candy became acquainted, with them flopped out on sofas drinking and eating ice-cream and empathizing with one another. It's also something to note that they don't appear to have slept with each other, nor does Lucifer really attempt to flirt with her, something which suggests that he's perfectly content with just being friends, as in the case of Ella.

Episode 7 - Off the Record

• When Reese bursts into Lucifer's appointment with Linda to try to try to convince her that Lucifer is the devil, his plan quickly goes off the rails when he realizes she already knows he's the devil and doesn't care. She ends up quite literally playing devil's advocate, calling him "a good man", and "my friend". It's a bit surreal, but Lucifer looks surprised and genuinely touched by Linda's words.
• Reese interviews the staff of the precinct trying to find dirt on Lucifer. All it does is reveal that Lucifer is actually very well liked by everyone there and has been quite generous and helpful to many of them.
• The way that Lucifer manages to survive the episode. He saw an uncomfortable, socially awkward man at Lux, and his first reaction, not even knowing that the guy was a serial killer looking to kill Lucifer himself was to go over, say hello, and start introducing the man to people.

Episode 8 - Chloe Does Lucifer

• The opening shows Lucifer enjoying a quiet night in with Chloe and Trixie at their apartment. They play Monopoly, and Lucifer even lets Trixie paint his face.
• Amenadiel comforting Linda over Reese's death and the existential crisis she's been having and secretly dealing with ever since she learned the truth about Lucifer.
  • Speaking of whom, he has a Friendship Moment of his own with her at the end of the episode, genuinely asking her how she's doing after Reese's death.

Episode 12 - All About Her

• Lucifer goes out of his way to help Chloe all episode in order to make up for betraying her trust, including getting her a pass into the surfing competition and cleaning her desk. While he at first does it for selfish reasons (in that he needs her help investigating Marcus), he eventually learns his lesson and sticks around even when he doesn't need her help anymore.
  Chloe: I don't need your help anymore! Why are you still here? (pauses, realizing herself why)
  Lucifer: (confirming) Because this case matters to you. Therefore it matters to me. We're partners, Detective.
• Charlotte learns that Pierce yelled at Ella...and gives him a good telling off for doing so.
  • This leads to Pierce realizing he was wrong and apologizing to Ella.
• When Dan investigates a surfer gang who he thinks killed the victim, he confronts them. They're actually innocent, and their response is to hold a paddle-out ceremony, along with Dan, in memory of the surfer who died.

Episode 13 - Til Death Do Us Part

• After going on a date (which is interrupted by Maze), Charlotte tells Dan that she's still going through a lot and wants to sort her life out before trying to date again. Dan just tells her that he understands, and says he'll wait because she's worth it. He's come a long way since his season one douche-y self.

Episode 14 - My Brother's Keeper

• When Ella comes in seeking Mazikeen's help to find her brother, she is greeted by Trixie who is play-fighting with her and Ella responds by playing along. Trixie breaks out of character to mention they are wearing the same shirt.
  Trixie: En garde!
  Ella: Oh no! No no no! Please, please don't harm me! Fierce warrior! I, I, I surrender!
  Trixie: I will spare your life, this time. *looks between each other*
  Trixie: We're wearing the same shirt!
  *Ella looks down and back at Trixie before smiling in surprise*
  Ella and Trixie: Sushi shirt!!
  [double high-five each other]
• When Linda is shaken by Charlotte coming to see her for therapy, Lucifer reveals it was his idea, because Linda is "the best". And when he sees just how badly Linda is taking the idea, Lucifer gently reminds her that Charlotte is not his mother, but an innocent who needs help.
• Lucifer telling Chloe that if she did have a brother, he (the hypothetical brother) would be proud of her.
• Lucifer confronts Ella's brother, Jay, when he finds him stealing the hidden diamonds and proving that he's not as innocent as he led his sister to believe. Jay asks if Lucifer will tell on him or if he'll confess himself. Lucifer tells him he won't and neither will he due to the fact that Ella has faith in her brother and would be hurt knowing the truth. Making Jay promise that he'll change his ways before threatening him that he'll be watching.
• Lucifer accepts that Amenadiel is genuinely trying to protect him (by trying to stop him from helping Pierce remove the Mark) and to be a good older brother, and admits that he is actually grateful for that.

Episode 16 - Infernal Guinea Pig

• Cain and Abel actually reconcile after millennia of hatred.

• Chloe and Lucifer end up in a standoff against the murderer who's holding a knife. The second she points the knife at Chloe, Lucifer leaps forwards and tackles her to the ground. He ends up getting stabbed in the shoulder.
  Chloe: What were you thinking, tackling someone with a knife?!
  Lucifer: It's not me I was worried about, Detective.
• Axara and Lucifer's conversation, where she tells Lucifer not to let anything stand between him and what he's passionate about.

Episode 18 - The Last Heartbreak

• Even though he's clearly not OK with it, Lucifer tells Chloe that she's free to date Pierce if that's what she really wants.
• In the flashbacks, Pierce is seen earnestly trying to catch a serial killer. It's nice to know that he did do some genuine good in his long life.

Episode 20 - The Angel of San Bernardino

• Crossing into Tear Jerker. Lucifer rushes over to Chloe's apartment to save her from Pierce's manipulations, only to find her heartbroken. He then immediately goes to find Pierce and beats the crap out of him for hurting her.
  • Pierce himself has a moment when, instead of continuing his manipulations, he realizes that he actually likes Chloe and doesn't want to hurt her, so breaks up with her. It's implied that his mark is gone not because Chloe loves him, but because for the first time in his existence, he put someone else's needs before his own.

Episode 22 - All Hands on Decker

• Dan admits his feelings for Charlotte, and they officially get together. Which makes her death in the next episode all the more heartbreaking.

Episode 23 - Quintessential Deckerstar

• Lucifer realizes that Chloe caught the bad guys and solved the case without his help or him even there, which leads him to an epiphany that she doesn't need him, she wants him. He confesses to her he wants her to choose him over Pierce, and in his own way, confesses his feelings for her in doing so. He again tells Chloe he's the Devil, only for her to whisper "no you're not, not to me" and kiss him.
  • When Lucifer begins his "Greatest Hits" antics and plays "Heart and Soul" on the piano, Chloe actually smiles at the memory. After the case is solved and before her moment with Lucifer on the balcony, she goes over to the same piano and plays a few notes of the song herself.
• Amenadiel gets his wings back. Not because he did some good deed or stopped a great evil but because he showed true, utter mourning for a flawed woman (Charlotte) who showed that despite her sins she was good and kind and who gave her life to save him.
  • Upon finding Charlotte's body, Chloe breaks down crying and runs into Lucifer's arms for comfort.
  • Lucifer finding one of Amenadiel's feathers next to the body and realizes what has happened.
  • Amenadiel personally flying Charlotte to Heaven.

Episode 24 - A Devil of My Word

• Lucifer's immediate reaction, after comforting Chloe, is to tell her that she'll see Charlotte again, in Heaven. He is completely certain that's where she'll go - and later events prove him right.
  • Additionally, immediately after that, his concern is for "poor Daniel." There's no snark in his voice whatsoever, just genuine sympathy and concern. Deep down, he really does care.
• Ella spends the entire season looking up to Pierce and thinking he's awesome. But when Dan comes to her and explains that Pierce killed Charlotte, despite not having any evidence, Ella puts her faith in him and helps them out.
  • When it looks like she's losing her faith in God, it's Lucifer who comforts her, telling her that people are responsible for their own actions and his Father has nothing to do with that.
• Pierce threatened Linda in the previous episode, which threw Maze off enough for him to get past her guard and inject her with a knockout drug. Despite having been mad at Linda for some time, Maze's first word on waking is "Linda." She doesn't wait for the drug to completely wear off, but instead fights her way through a dozen guys, runs four miles, charges into Linda's office bleeding and battered, only collapsing when she knows Linda is safe.
  • The whole session of Linda and Maze truly burying their hatchet.
• Chloe once again tells Lucifer that she doesn't see him as the Devil, and this time Lucifer admits that lately even he hasn't felt like the Devil, either. It adds extra Tear Jerker when Chloe sees his Devil face at the end.
• Lucifer and Chloe confront Pierce. Chloe gets in between Lucifer and Pierce and then shoots the latter, only for one of his goons to shoot her (she was wearing a bulletproof vest, thankfully). When Pierce demands that his men finish the job and shoot them both, Lucifer reacts by immediately shielding them both with his wings. Despite the pain, he keeps the wings around them until the shooters stop, allowing him to fly away with Chloe and get her to safety.
• Even before she saw his devil face, Chloe was already connecting the dots and realizing that Lucifer has been telling the truth this whole time. But despite realizing that her partner and friend is the literal devil, when she hears gunshots she immediately runs to help him.
• The reveal even has a small amount of this: when Lucifer turns to face Chloe, he's actually smiling at her. He's relieved to see that she's safe.

Bonus Episodes

Boo Normal

• Just Ella greeting everybody at the crime scene, addressing two people by name and high-fiving one of them. Notice, everybody who sees her gives her a smile.
• When Ella announces that she's considering moving back to Detroit, Chloe is upset but understanding, while Lucifer tells her outright not to go, showing that he likes her in his own way.
• While it's not outright stated except in a line of dialogue, it's implied that Chloe has accepted the fact that Lucifer is the Devil and she's shown to be working with him still.
• Chloe accepts Ella's story that she talks to a ghost, and says that it doesn't change the way she feels about her.
• The reveal that the ghost Ella has been talking to is not a ghost at all, but Azrael, Lucifer's sister and the Angel of Death. She showed up when Ella was in a car wreck and was so taken with her positive attitude that she kept coming back to check up on her and the two became friends. Azrael cared enough to show up one last time to convince Ella to stay in LA (since it would be better for her instead of going back to Detroit), and was even the one who sent Ella to LA in the first place - so she can meet Lucifer and become friends with him.
  • The last point in particular Lucifer reacts badly to, thinking it's another manipulation until Azrael explains that she did it for them both; she couldn't be with either of them because of her busy job, so wanted them to have each other.
• At the end of the episode, Lucifer visits Ella in the lab and sits down to listen to her ramble with a smile on his face. More poignant since Azrael had previously told him that him spending time with her like this was one of the things that made him her favorite brother, given how similar Azrael and Ella are.
• While a tearjerker, it's made clear that Lucifer and Chloe have in fact, finally admitted their love for each other.

Once Upon a Time

• Chloe patches things up with her father, after they've been arguing throughout the episode.
  • Just the fact that in this reality, John Decker is alive and well.
• While they're both not very nice people in this reality, the fact that Dan and Charlotte end up together is still sweet, especially since her death has separated them in the original reality. Maybe spoiled by the realization that they're both bound for Hell.
  • Optimistically, they both have to leave behind their old lives when they run off with the money. There's no telling what they do with their new start together.
• Chloe and Lucifer still meet and still end up working together, showing that no matter the circumstances and the reality, they'll always choose each other.
• God is narrating the entire episode, and reveals that he put Chloe in Lucifer's path because he still loves his son and wants to make him happy.

Season 4

Episode 1 - Everything's Okay

• Ella's faith took a hit after Pierce's betrayal and Charlotte's death.
  Ella: I'm still not straight with the big guy. Not sure I ever will be.
  Lucifer: Well, his loss if so, Miss Lopez.
• When Amenadiel returns Lucifer commends him for taking Charlotte to Heaven personally. They both agree that she'd earned her place there.
• Amenadiel telling Dan that Charlotte is in Heaven. Dan initially dismisses it as a meaningless platitude, but Amenadiel is so firm that Dan breaks down crying and hugs him.
  Dan: For some reason I really believe you.
  • Dan and Amenadiel's friendship. Dan is utterly friendly with him and while he does snap at him Amenadiel is patient and gives Dan a Cooldown Hug after telling Dan that Charlotte is in Heaven.
• Maze sees Trixie sitting in the precinct and, despite wanting to apologize for hurting Trixie's feelings last season, decides to leave the girl alone and starts to make her exit. Cue Trixie calling out to Maze by name. Maze gets as far as "I'm sorry" before Trixie runs over and hugs her.
  Maze: You're...you're not mad at me?
  Trixie: Nah. I couldn't stay mad at you.
• Chloe comforting Dan after Charlotte's death.

Episode 2 - Somebody's Been Reading Dante's Inferno

• Linda tells Amenadiel that she's pregnant both of them smile at each other.
• Lucifer's excitement over the prospect of going on a date with Chloe is very charming, especially when he's confiding to the equally enthusiastic Ella all of the little details he put together for it. Which ultimately makes the revelation of her involvement in Father Kinley's plan all the more heartbreaking for him in the next episode. It means she was stringing him along as if everything was normal just to leave him vulnerable.

Episode 4 - All About Eve

• Lucifer shows Eve his Devil face, clearly expecting her to be afraid or disgusted. Instead Eve smiles and kisses him. Judging by Lucifer's expression, this is the first time anyone has ever accepted him this easily.

Episode 5 - Expire Erect

• When Amenadiel finds Eve in the penthouse he's concerned that she's there to hurt Lucifer for killing her son, Cain. Eve assures him that she isn't going to hurt Lucifer (unless he asks her to). She also mentions that she met Charlotte Richards in Heaven and describes her as "lovely".
• Eve is absolutely delighted to meet Ella when she shows up at Lux, claiming that Lucifer's told her nothing but good things about Ella. Despite Ella being determined not to like her (due to Eve getting between Lucifer and Chloe) she's quickly won over when Eve pulls her into a hug.
• Hell, everything Eve does in the episode. Despite initially being established as a shallow Romantic False Lead who attracts Lucifer's attention away from Chloe, she reveals herself to be a bubbly optimist who gets along well with everyone she meets. These include Chloe, whom she supports when she tries to formulate a plan to solve the hostage situation at Lux, telling her that she is smart and can solve anything, because she is a good detective. Chloe later admits to Amenadiel that she honestly likes Eve, thinks that she is a good companion for Lucifer, and doesn't want her to turn out to be evil.
• Chloe and Amenadiel's heart to heart talk at the end, especially when Amenadiel tells her that her father is so proud of her. She goes on like it's the usual platitude, then stops as it sinks in, and looks back at Amenadiel who just smiles kindly - and pointedly - at her. The implicit confirmation that her father is in Heaven clearly moves Chloe in a way we've never seen before.

Episode 6 - Orgy Pants to Work

• Maze presents Linda with a gift for her baby in a heavy, tarnished metal case. Linda cautiously opens it and finds a baby blanket inside. Maze explains that she wanted to get the baby something her own mother never bothered to give her children. Linda graciously accepts and tells Maze she will always be part of her family.

Episode 7 - Devil Is as Devil Does

• For all the trouble she causes, Eve doesn't hesitate for a second to put her own body in front of Trixie's when Tiernan's gun-toting goons show up. She didn't even know her an hour ago, but she's an innocent child and that's all Eve needs to know.
  • Lucifer has always been awkward around Trixie, but when she's in danger, he's absolutely furious and proceeds to beat the daylights out of the gunmen. Once they're are dealt with he assures Chloe that he would never intentionally let someone hurt Trixie on his watch.
  • Chloe hasn't been happy about Eve's presence in Lucifer's life, but once Tiernan's goons are in custody Chloe pulls Eve into a hug and thanks her for protecting Trixie.

Episode 8 - Super Bad Boyfriend

• Amenadiel asking Lucifer to be the godfather of his child. Hard to imagine these are the same brothers who threatened war with each other in the pilot.
• Dan seeing Amenadiel about to be shot by an aggressive, racist cop and diving between them without hesitation.
• After a young teen that Amenadiel bonded with is killed, Lucifer helps his brother get revenge on the man who ordered the hit, going so far as to scare off any would-be interference of the beatdown.
  • When Amenadiel tells Lucifer that he knows who murdered the kid, the latter immediately states that he'll drive them there. Even though they may constantly lock horns, Lucifer proves that no matter what, he will always have his brother's back.

Episode 9 - Save Lucifer

• Mazikeen singing "Wonderwall" to Eve in an attempt to express her feelings. Even Lucifer is clearly moved by it. Sadly, Eve misinterprets this Grand Romantic Gesture, thinking that Maze is showing her how to confess her feelings for Lucifer.
• Linda going giving birth with both Maze and Amenadiel at her side.
• Lucifer overcoming his overwhelming sense of self-loathing long enough to begin the healing process of forgiveness with Chloe's help and encouragement.
• After trying to give his son an -iel/-ael name (as is tradition with all angels) Amenadiel decides to name the first new celestial in billions of years Charlie, after Charlotte Richards.
  • Not only is it honoring Charlotte but it is honoring the lesson she taught him, that humanity is good and worthy of his love.

Episode 10 - Who's da New King of Hell?

• In general, Amenadiel and Linda's excitement and happiness over their newborn son is very touching.
• Lucifer formally ends his patient relationship with Linda by giving her an original copy of Sigmund Freud's personal journal. Despite his teasing, it's clear he deeply values everything she's done for him.
• Despite Lucifer's discomfort around the new baby, it's clear that he still cares about his nephew and is furious when he finds out what Eve and the demons have done.
• Eve atoning for her actions by participating in the mission to rescue Charlie and the fact that the others (particularly Amenadiel) forgive her despite all that happened.
• While it's sad that she feels she has to leave for the time being to find her place in the world, Eve finally reciprocates Maze's feelings for her.
• Ella choosing to wear her cross necklace again, showing that she no longer blames God for Charlotte's death.
• Amenadiel ultimately refraining from taking Charlie to Heaven so he can raise him with Linda on Earth, however flawed it is.
  • Linda not being angry with him, fully understanding the parental fear that led Amenadiel to even consider taking Charlie to Heaven and actually saying that he should do so before he convinces her that Earth is the best place to raise their son.
• Near the end of the episode, Chloe finally, finally confesses her love for Lucifer and begs him to stay. Sadly, it's followed by an eye-watering goodbye of epic proportions, as he has no choice but to return to Hell so he can stop demons from invading Earth.
  • While it's certainly depressing to be parted from the woman he loves, Lucifer returns to Hell knowing that Chloe loves him regardless of what he is, something that he has been dreading about the entire season considering her initial reaction to his true nature.
  • Lucifer unfolding his wings to return to Hell, showing that they are back to being pristine white and beautiful. The Devil has found redemption and the angel Samael lives again.

Season 5

Episode 1 - Really Sad Devil Guy

• Chloe and Maze's friendship has gotten to the point where they practically read each other's minds.
• Dan is in a much better shape than the previous season, having attended self-help training and reading Linda's books, which makes him very jovial and nice even compared to his pre-Charlotte's death self.
• Dan convincing Amenadiel to be there for Charlie, instead of trying to protect him from all threats in the world.
• Lee sees through Lucifer's projecting, and really just wants to help Luci (even after being humiliated by him for the last three seasons) to not make the same mistakes that he made in life.
• Chloe's reunion with Lucifer, complete with a Big Damn Kiss. Of course, it's spoiled several minutes later since "Lucifer" is not what he seems, but Chloe's expression really sells it.

Episode 2 - Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer!

• It is revealed that, except for Michael, all angels in Silver City have been praising Lucifer and holding him in high regard since he chose to go back to Hell, not caring that he is fallen and rebellious.
• Maze refuses to work with Michael to bring Lucifer back to Earth, because the plan involves toying around with Chloe's feelings.
• Chloe figures out Michael's true identity due a lot of evidences, but the one that convinces her once and for all? That Lucifer will never hurt her feelings by "accidentally" letting her see him have sex with someone else, especially not when the two are already far into a proper relationship.

Episode 3 - ¡Diablo!

• Lucifer's actual reunion with Chloe. Sure, she is wary of him due to the things with Michael, but once he demonstrates his gift, she immediately hugs him. The way his face just melts into something between relief and adoration when he sees Chloe across the bullpen also counts.
  • A smaller example is when tells Officer Cacuzza "it's so good to see you again". Lucifer does not lie. Ever. Not only has he remembered the name of this random human he'd have barely noticed four years ago, he's genuinely glad to see her. Her flattered smile says a lot. And keep in mind, it's been millennia for him; he could be forgiven for forgetting a minor character in that time.
• Dan trying to help Lucifer by explaining that Charlotte's death made him realize how little control they have over their lives, so he needs every win he can get by trying to stay positive. This moves Lucifer enough to ask for a friendship braclet he'd been deriding, which Dan playfully teases him for. They even act out a script from ¡Diablo! together!

Episode 4 - It Never Ends Well for the Chicken

• Lucifer's friendship with Lilith in general. It's revealed that Lilith sent the demons to Hell specifically to accompany Lucifer, so he would not be alone during his exile from Silver City. This is why Lucifer is eternally indebted to Lilith, and why he agrees to keep her ring once she chooses to give up her immortality. That ring is the one he has been wearing since season 1, by the way.
• Jack asking if he can go with his wife to Des Moines so they can fix their relationship. She agrees wholeheartedly.

Episode 5 - Detective Amenadiel

• Maze giving Linda a form designed for children who want to reconnect with their birth parents and asks her to at least tell Adriana the truth about their relationship.
• Lucifer's heart-to-heart talk with Chloe at the end. Chloe posits Amenadiel's theory about why he is vulnerable around her: that he chose to make himself be so. They then share a passionate kiss, possibly leading to something more.

Episode 6 - BlueBallz

• Dan confesses that he still feels bad about all the unsavory things he had done in his life. Amenadiel responds that he has known genuine evils, but Dan isn't one of them.
• Ella choosing to end her tendency to date bad boys by going out with Pete. Too bad it comes for naught two episodes later...
• Dan and Amenadiel spend hours trying to get Charlie to stop crying, and what finally does it? Lucifer's devil face. And what's more, not only does it stop Charlie's crying, but it makes him laugh. The fact that such a visage that terrifies everyone who sees it and has tormented Lucifer and his self-image for eons brings joy and happiness to Charlie is so heartwarming to see.
  • Even though it's viewed from Dan's own frightened perspective, watching Lucifer cradle Charlie and be a Cool Uncle by using his face to make him laugh is nothing short of adorable. Better still, Lucifer doesn't look at all uncomfortable around a child for once, and seems to be genuinely enjoying playing with his nephew.
• At last, after many years, Chloe and Lucifer consummate their relationship. And it is, in Lucifer's own words, incredible.

Episode 7 - Our Mojo

• When Lucifer and Chloe wake up after their first night together, first he teases her about Hell supposedly freezing over now that they've slept together, and then he starts tickling her!
• Chloe thinking that her being able to mojo Lucifer means that she has managed to bring down a little part of the emotional wall around him, and Lucifer agreeing with her sentiment.
• Earlier on Amenadiel, to cheer Dan up, offered to go to improv with him only for Dan to turn him down, saying he isn't into that anymore. Amenadiel that offers to do something else with him, suggesting a ball game. In this episode we learn this is a regular thing for them (crosses into minor Tearjerker when Dan, still dealing with Lucifer's true identity, stands up Amenadiel and he doesn't know what to do with himself).

Episode 8 - Spoiler Alert

• Despite still being pissed at him, Maze immediately drops her anger at Lucy the minute he tells her Chloe was kidnapped. Shows that despite everything, Maze chooses her friend's safety over whatever drama she's dealing with.
• Lucifer hugging and kissing Chloe after he, Dan, and Maze rescue her.
  Dan: He really does care about her, doesn't he?
  Maze: Yeah. Freaking soulmates.
• Before the time stop, there's the small fact Chloe and Lucifer show concern over Ella, considering she was still broken up over Pete using her and being the Whisperer Killer.
• Even if his method is wrong, when Amenadiel learns that Charlie is a normal human, he freezes time to make him safe forever. The fact that his power, thought to be gone for good, not only returns, but amplified twicefold (Amenadiel's gift is to slow down time, not stop it) shows how protective he is of Charlie.
• While it shows a bit of Lucifer's usual egotism, it's pretty clear that his frustration at Amenadiel stopping time is so he can finally patch things up with Chloe and be with her without any issue.
• When Michael throws one of Maze's blades at a police officer, Lucifer stops it. It isn't Chloe or Dan or Ella or anyone Lucifer has interacted with... it is merely a random human. The Devil saved a human from being killed without a second thought.
• While he does first make himself known with a great booming voice, the moment Lucifer, Amenadiel, and Michael notice God he drops his voice to a low, friendly tone. He then smiles and tells his sons he doesn't like watching them fight.

Episode 9 - Family Dinner

• Being the most powerful being in the world does not stop God from going all cuddly to his mortal grandson, Charlie.
• It's partly awkward and partly terrifying, considering the family — but God telling Linda she's welcome at the family dinner because "You are the mother of my grandchild, of course you're family" is still really sweet.
• A minor one in an otherwise not-so-heartwarming scene, but when Lucifer is listing Michael's transgressions against him, he mentions convincing a friend to shoot him. It seems that, despite everything, Lucifer does consider Dan a friend.

Episode 10 - Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam

• Chloe's reaction to meeting God is to lay into him for treating Lucifer the way he did. Lucifer is visibly touched that she's standing up for him this way. And while God is a little fondly amused in a condescending kind of way, he doesn't take offence, and he is quite sincere that he's glad Lucifer has her.
• Linda and Amenadiel sing "Just The Two Of Us" (in a blend of the original and Will Smith's version) to baby Charlie, altering the lyrics to be "Just the Three" of us.
• Although his antics are definitely embarrassing, God just wants to know what Lucifer is doing day-to-day, since their estrangement did not exactly make him the most knowledgeable person about his son.
• There's a drawing on the fridge that Trixie drew of herself and Lucifer, complete with red eyes and little horns. It is rather sweet.

Episode 11 - Resting Devil Face

• Lucifer going to town on the drug dealers when they punch God. They may not be on good terms, but the scene shows that threatening his father is definitely one of Lucifer's Berserk Buttons.
• Trixie's nice little heart-to-heart with God at the subway. Bonus points for dissuading Maze from her plan to assassinate God.
• God reassuring Dan that he is not mad at him for sleeping with his ex-wife, because he has no say regarding whatever she did. Granted, he follows this up by exploding him but he rewinds time afterwards and when you're an all powerful celestial being, that's basically a playful punch in the shoulder.
• Ella greeting God with a hug as soon as she realises he's Lucifer's dad.
• God reassures Maze by implying that even if he can't give her a soul, she can actually grow one for herself. Maze positively glows at the prospect that she still has a chance at getting a soul, with the added implication that she already has.
• God spends most of the episode powerless due to having carelessly given up his powers to make himself mortal temporarily, and forgets where he put them immediately after giving them up. The end of the episode has him remembering he put them in one of Charlie's toys, saying he knew that they would be safe with his family.

Episode 12 - Daniel Espinoza: Naked and Afraid

• Amenadiel helping Dan return home, despite being utterly confused by his behavior (since he doesn't know about Lucifer's prank) and feeling kinda insulted for being equated with an Uber.
• Being the target of the most elaborate prank known to man aside, Dan holds no ill will and actually thanks Lucifer for providing him with a distraction from his stress of knowing about the supernatural world. Though it turns funny when Lucifer admits that he did the prank simply to get back at him for shooting him.
  • Furthermore, Lucifer admits that he was able to predict Dan's actions so well because he knows that the man will always at least try to do the right thing.

Episode 13 - A Little Harmless Stalking

• Eve admitting that she became a bounty hunter because it reminds her of Maze, and her newfound realization that she likes her. In the hospital, they share their first romantic kiss and seem ready to become a couple, though it sadly ends before it starts when Maze doesn't approve Eve's decision to remain mortal.
• Dan congratulating Amenadiel in his decision to become God. Despite being overwhelmed and awed by it, he sees it as a rank promotion, which he can definitely relate.
• Linda finally reuniting with Adriana and revealing that she's her mother. Also Adriana meeting Charlie.
• Adriana mentioning that someone (obviously Lucifer) made a very generous donation to the clinic her adoptive mother was in.

Episode 14 - Nothing Lasts Forever

• Lucifer has Gabriel send a message to Goddess to briefly come for a reunion with God. As it turns out, despite parting on bad terms, the couple still obviously love each other. Ultimately, they decide to live together again in Goddess' universe.
  • Lucifer reconciling with his dad right before the latter is about to leave for the new universe, topped when the latter finally says "I love you", something that Lucifer has been demanding since five episodes earlier and clearly been wanting to hear for literally aeons..
  • Goddess finally says her goodbyes to Amenadiel, as circumstances prevented her from doing so when she left back in the Season 2 finale.
• Chloe quitting her job at the LAPD so she can become Lucifer's assistant because she figures out that if he is to become God, she can help more people.
• Lucifer and Maze have reconciled, with Lucifer apologizing for not telling Maze about Lilith. Maze apologized for her betrayal and accepted the fact that her mother never loved her, so she shouldn't have expected her to welcome Maze with open arms.
• God finds his way into Ella's lab where she confides in him about how she struggles with her darker impulses. He assures her that her fears about being a bad person are unjustified. Ella has always been the most spiritual and religious character and, while she doesn't know it, she's personally told by God Himself that she's a good person.
  God: My child. The darker the darkness, the brighter the light. And you, Miss Lopez, shine so very, very brightly. I can see it all the way from Heaven.

Episode 15 - Is This Really How It's Going to End?!

• Chloe apologising to Dan for not giving him warning that she was retiring. Dan says he gets it, it's just... and then wordlessly gives her a hug.
• Lucifer revealing to Zadkiel that he wants to become God so he be worthy of Chloe's love.
• Ella initially rejects Dan's attempt to matchmake her with his cop friend from outside town. During Dan's funeral, however, she meets the officer, Carol Corbett, and tells him to save a space for her.
  • While trying to convince Ella to take the phone number Dan calls her "Mi hermanita".
• During Lucifer's talk with Linda, he corrects himself when talking about Dan. Normally he'd call him Daniel, but he calls him Dan. It's subtle, but combined with the actions of him and Maze pulling out the stops to trying to find Dan's location, and their rampage against his killers, it showcases that they both consider him their friend, even if they wouldn't admit it to him. It's in fact Dan's death that convinces Lucifer that he must become God in order to fix the world.
  • In fact, although it all ends in what's arguably the biggest Tear Jerker of the show so far (so much so that half of the list below could be on that page as well), plus his breakdown with Linda in the aftermath notwithstanding, Lucifer is at his most kind and god-like throughout the search. Examples include:
    • Keeping the team grounded and from giving in to despair during the hunt
    • Spending his entire capital of favors owed in the criminal underworld trying to find Dan, without a second thought
    • Consistently referring to him as "Dan" instead of "Daniel" or "Douche"
    • Calling Trixie "my dear sweet child" in the most tender voice imaginable, a far cry from their usual interactions
    • Even the "wrath of God" angle is there, shown in Lucifer and Maze's absolute rampage through the killer's base, tearing through them like a force of nature

Episode 16 - A Chance at a Happy Ending

• Maze telling Eve that she wants to be with her, even if that means watching Eve grow old and die.
• Zadkiel switching sides to support Lucifer, in spite of being the one angel who was most opposed to his candidacy before and being generally a prick to him. The reason? Because he highly respects that Lucifer wants to become God so he can be worthy of a human woman's love.
• Lucifer flies to Heaven to try to retrieve Chloe after she's been stabbed, even though he'd burn if he ever stepped foot there. He's saved by Lee, aka, "Mr. Said Out Bitch", who seems to be the first person to resolve their issues and leave Hell, finding himself in Heaven.
• Chloe originally didn't want to leave Heaven despite wanting to go with Lucifer because she was scared of losing her dad again. However, John tells her to go, telling her that he's not going anywhere, and that when it really is her time, he'll be there waiting for her.
• The energy from Lilith's ring is depleting rapidly, and there's only enough for either Lucifer or Chloe to leave Heaven. Lucifer takes the ring off and puts it on Chloe's finger, telling her that he chooses her... because he loves her.
• As little as he deserves it, Lucifer sparing Michael and giving him a second chance is a testament to how much Lucifer has grown from the self-centered man-child he was at the start of the series.
• The small smile on Amenadiel's face as he kneels before Lucifer during the latter's Awesome Moment of Crowning. You can tell that he's never been more proud of his brother. He is also the first of his siblings to recognize that Lucifer has become God. A nice reminder of Amenadiel’s faith in, and loyalty towards his brother.
• Chloe being the only one who doesn't bow down to Lucifer signifies that she is more than just an ally to him. They're partners.

Season 6

Episode 1 - Nothing Ever Changes Around Here

• As of this episode, Lucifer calls Chloe by her name on a permanent basis. She says that she will never get used to that, but is happy with it nevertheless.
• With some prodding, Maze eventually admits that she doesn't want to descend to Hell and rule as its queen, but instead stay on Earth so she can spend the rest of her life with Eve quietly. Eve agrees, then the two decide to propose on the spot, in the process moving their wedding early.
• It's revealed that at some point, Lucifer went to Hell and did everything he could to ensure Dan got some semblance of a pleasant afterlife. He's no longer being tormented in a Hell Loop, and spends his days in a recreation of the police precinct playing Ping Pong with a demon. He's still upset that Lucifer doesn't know how to get him out of Hell, but the thought still counts.

Episode 2 - Buckets of Baggage

• Despite Ella's insecurities, ultimately, Carol is really what he is: a Nice Guy who loves kung-fu films and is genuinely attracted to her. At the end, they decide to go out on their first date together.

Episode 3 - Yabba Dabba Do Me

• When Dan is brought back to Earth as a ghost, the very first thing he does is try to warn Lucifer that the angel wants to kill him. While it fails as Lucifer has just left Lux, it still shows that Dan considers Lucifer a friend despite how upset he was about being in Hell.

Episode 4 - Pin the Tail on the Daddy

• Dan's joy knowing that Amenadiel and Maze can see him.
• Amenadiel apologizing to Dan for storming out during their last conversation before he died, and Dan replying that he has nothing to apologize for.
• Even though Lucifer initially acts nonchalant about having a daughter, it's obvious that he is worried regarding the implications that he has been absent in her life. At the avocado farm, he becomes terrifyingly enraged upon finding out that the farm utilizes child slave labor, and when he arrives at the place where his supposed daughter is staying, he breaks in with no permission or warrant and immediately calls out her name. At the end, during a private conversation with Dan, Lucifer admits that he knew at first glance that the female angel really is his daughter, even if he didn't want to say it to her face.

Episode 5 - The Murder of Lucifer Morningstar

• In contrast to her hatred of her father, Rory is a complete momma's girl, and quickly warms up to Chloe. Despite not telling her the reason why Lucifer left, Rory never blames Chloe for it one bit, implicitly realizing that it's something that's private to her.
• While Chloe meeting Dan one last time is mostly a Tear Jerker, there is also the bit where Dan tells Chloe that she has always been a strong woman, and Trixie inherited her resolve from her, not him.

Episode 6 - A Lot Dirtier Than That

• Amenadiel's determination to prove that an innocent woman has been wrongly misidentified as a suspect, and Harris helping him in her abrasive way. She believes in true justice, and genuinely wants to help people in need.
• Despite being different species, Rory has a good relationship with Trixie in the future, calling her big sister "T". It's also implied that Trixie never really changes from being a pure bundle of joy she is now, as Rory says that the only thing she hides is chocolate.

Episode 7 - My Best Fiend's Wedding

• Chloe deciding to rejoin the LAPD so she can reform the establishment and hopefully change the discrimination in the system.
• Maze's reconciliation with Eve, in which she finally lets go of her insecurities of being a demon unworthy of Eve's love, by inviting her demonic siblings to attend the wedding.
  • In its own twisted way, the fact that only 6 of Maze's 1000 siblings came is its own heartwarming moment. Lucifer mentioned that the others stayed in hell to torture a fresh batch of white supremacists, but these 6 dropped everything, even that, to see their sister on her best day.
• Despite saying earlier that she won't come, Rory actually does attend the pre-wedding dress-in that Lucifer invited her into. Sadly, he ends up not showing, rubbing Rory the wrong way.
• Maze's and Eve's wedding.
  • Rory showing up at the last second, though she refuses to sit with her family and instead sit on the back. In spite of her hatred of Lucifer, she loves her aunts, and will not miss the chance of seeing them on their happiest day.
  • Linda walking Maze to the altar, particularly when Maze passes by Trixie and gives her a brofist.
  • Adam offers to walk Eve down the aisle, even if the latter politely rejects it.
  • Maze and Eve exchanging their wedding vows. While Eve's is flowery, Maze has just eight simple words.
    Eve: Maze, I know that, at some point, you became convinced that you were unworthy of love. I look forward to spending the rest of my life proving you wrong. If recent events are any indication, then I am sure that there's going to be a lot of bumps along the way. But as I stand here today, in front of our family and our friends, I promise you that I will never ever give up on us again. Because you, Mazikeen, you're my soul mate.
    Maze: Eve, I just love you so fucking much.
• Ella revealing that she's discovered Lucifer is the devil. Everyone expects her to be scared and horrified like they were, but Ella isn't since she already believed in God in the first place. She ultimately proves her statement in her first appearance that she thinks the Devil gets a bad rep right by not being upset that Lucifer is the actual Devil but that he and everyone else all lied about it.

Episode 8 - Save the Devil, Save the World

• Ella looking in amazement at Amenadiel spreading his wings and flying to Heaven. All her life, she has put faith in God and angels watching over her, and now her belief has been vindicated.
• Lucifer wills himself to become vulnerable around Rory. This convinces her that he really loves her.
• Lucifer ultimately declines to become God, because he does not want to leave Chloe and Rory.
• Ella coming to terms with the revelation about the supernatural. She chooses not to let Carol in, but the latter understands, saying that having her heart is enough.

Episode 9 - Goodbye, Lucifer

• On his to-do list, Lucifer has "Check on Father Frank", the friend he made way back in Season 1.
• On Linda's advice, Lucifer spends what might be his last day on Earth showing his loved ones how much he cares for them
  • He tells Linda she's not only a spectacular therapist but a truly wonderful friend.
  • He patches things up with Ella and reveals he's started a foundation in her name to encourage girls to become involved in STEM careers.
  • He signs ownership of Lux over to Amenadiel, who plans to use it as a gateway for angels to interact with and learn about humanity, all while telling him he's his favourite brother and he's so glad they got to spend so much time together on Earth.
  • He sees Maze off on her honeymoon and thanks her for all she's done for him. When he calls her his best friend, she's shook because she knows that something is going to happen and she gives him her last hell blade. The two say goodbye with a wordless, tearful hug.
  • He shares a drink with Dan, and their chat not only helps Dan inadvertently give him the inspiration to have one last talk with Trixie, but helps inspire Lucifer to return to Hell to help other damned souls.
  • He spends some time "debauching" with Rory and telling her she will always be his choice as long as he has one.
  • He shares one last silent dance with Chloe as they wait for the day to end.
• Doubling as a Tear Jerker, Dan getting to say goodbye to Trixie. This also alleviates his guilt completely and finally allows him to go to Heaven.

Episode 10 - Partners 'Til the End

• In the end, everyone that is named, important and alive gets to have a happy ending.
  • Dan, having overcome his guilt, is finally in Heaven with Charlotte.
  • Ella is running the STEM foundation for young girls that Lucifer opened in her name.
  • Amenadiel ascends to the throne of Heaven and chooses not to rule above his siblings, turning the running of the universe into a real family affair.
    • And think back to how cold and arrogant Season One Amenadiel was. God sent him to get Lucifer to go back to Hell, and in hindsight, He must have known how everything would follow from that; Amenadiel would go too far trying to fulfill that mission, and he would fall and eventually be redeemed, in the process becoming someone who would be a kind, loving god.
  • Mazikeen and Eve get married and live fulfilling lives as bounty hunters.
  • Lucifer finds his calling as Hell's therapist, helping lost souls work through their issues for a chance at redemption rather than torturing them for eternity. The setting didn't have such a thing as Purgatory, but Lucifer turned Hell into that, the place where the guilty suffer until they're ready for Heaven.
  • Chloe returns to the police and becomes the precinct's new lieutenant, addressing the corruption and living a full life raising her two daughters. And when she dies, she goes to hell to be with Lucifer for eternity, with Rory on her way to join them.
  • Officer Harris is finally promoted to Detective Harris, this time without the poison pill of being reassigned to Palisades. No doubt she's a valuable ally to Chloe as they clean house in the LAPD.
• The fact that Lucifer chose to model his own therapy room after Linda's. He could have made it anything he wanted, but he chose the place where he himself learned to grow and be a better person.
  • One of the three people present during the current therapy session is Reese, Linda's ex-husband from Season 3. He's still in Hell, but there's a hopeful note that he'll eventually be able to resolve his guilt and go to Heaven. He and Lucifer are very friendly with each other and Lucifer talks to Reese much as Linda once did for him, assuring Reese that he deserves to go to Heaven and he is going to work with him until he does. This is despite the fact that Reese pushed his Berserk Button by claiming that he's responsible for everything bad that has ever happened, and also tried to kill him.
  • One of the other people Lucifer is trying to help is Vincent Le Mec, the guy who killed Dan and almost killed him and Rory. Indeed, Word of God confirms that eventually even MICHAEL of all people became one of Lucifer's patients! Despite how much of a SOB he is and all that Michael did to him, Lucifer still chose to reach out to him and they eventually began to reconcile. For Lucifer, everyone deserves a second chance, no matter what they did.
  • He also ordered them donuts!
• Word of God stating that Chloe didn't die with just Rory there; Trixie, Charlie, and Amenadiel were there. They merely gave Rory the final moments alone with Chloe as they knew that Rory had to go back.
• Back in Season 4 Amenadiel was so very excited to teach Charlie how to fly. The final scene of them shows Charlie getting his wings and thus that bonding moment did happen.
• Amenadiel being the first person to welcome Chloe to the afterlife. God or not, he is there for his friends. He's also clearly the only reason why Chloe is able to enter Hell, being that she is an innocent soul. No matter how much she wishes for it, she would not have been able to go to Hell if it wasn't Amenadiel using his status as God to allow it.
• Lucifer's reunion with Chloe at the end of the series. After having both taken their own slow path (Chloe waited decades on Earth while Lucifer waited thousands of years in Hell,) they're finally reunited and will be able to spend the rest of eternity together.
  Lucifer: Hello Detective.
  Chloe: I thought you could use a partner.
