Recap / Lucifer (2016) S02E06 "Monster"

Go To

Lucifer clashes with Chloe during an investigation, leading her to partner with Dan.


Tropes present in this episode include:

  • Call-Back: Maze helps Trixie improvise a "President of Mars" costume for Halloween. Trixie had previously told Maze that was what she wanted to be when she grew up when they first met in "Pops".
  • Death Seeker: Lucifer taunts the sniper to shoot him several times, to no avail.
  • For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: When Maze takes Trixie out trick-or-treating, the latter expresses disappointment that Maze doesn't have a costume as well. So Maze tells her to turn around, and improvises a "costume" by dropping her Glamour to reveal a half-decayed face. When she turns back, Trixie is delighted with the result because that will get her more candy.
  • Game Face: After Linda's rejection to continue with the sessions unless Lucifer's shows her who he really is, Lucifer drops his glamour for her. She's naturally left shocked.
  • Heroic BSoD:
    • Lucifer is going through one after killing Uriel. He shows up to work completely dishevelled and tries to get himseld killed. He rebuffs all of Chloe's attempts to help him, but does eventually reach out to Linda.
    • Linda just stares in shock after seeing Lucifer's real self for the first time. Maze later notes that Linda took it better than most people, considering she didn't Go Mad from the Revelation.
  • Internal Reveal: Lucifer reveals his true face to Linda, confirming to her that he wasn't using metaphors and really is the Devil.
  • Never My Fault: The sniper shoots those he holds responsible for his wife's death, when in reality he blames himself for not being there when she needed her.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Lucifer is more impulsive and rude than usual... because he's struggling to cope with Uriel's death at his hands.
  • Rage Against the Heavens: Downplayed. Amenadiel declares he's fed up with father's attitude.
  • So Proud of You: Amenadiel feels responsible for Uriel's death, but "Charlotte" lectures him about his tendency to feel guilty for everything and how she's actually proud of all he's done so far.
  • Themed Wedding: The Mystery of the Week occurs at a zombie-themed wedding. The bride, groom and guests are all dressed as zombies, the rings are on fake fingers on a bloodied-white pillow, the ceremony is held at a graveyard and the episode is set on Halloween. Because of this, the guests are undeterred when the groom is shot by the episode's killer despite the bride's protests before she is shot dead herself.
  • Thousand-Yard Stare: Delivered by a frozen Linda after watching Lucifer show his true appearance.
  • Was It Really Worth It?:
    Lucifer: (to the sniper) So it's not vengeance you want, it's punishment. Well, now you got it. Good for you!
