Chloe and Lucifer investigate when the bodies of two young L.A. transplants are found poisoned. Later, Maze convincing Chloe to join her for drinks, which the detective believes to be an act of friendship, is actually a bet between Maze and Lucifer.

Lucifer has a girl night out as Chloe, Ella, Linda, and Maze head out for an evening in one hell of an entertaining episode. The show revolves around a dead body and Chloe being a bit uptight. Lucifer gets Maze to take Chloe out for a girls night and holy crap is that entertaining. Part of that fun is the fact we’re not shown everything that happens, so our imaginations are let to run wild as to what happened. And boy do I want to see what really happened.

But beyond that fun the episode is really about the relationships between all of the characters, especially Lucifer and Chloe and Amenadiel figuring out his role now. There’s whatever deal Lucifer made that involves sending his mother back to Hell and we find out what that was here, with a pretty big impact on the ending.

Last season was solid in that it did a good job in blending entertaining single episodes and a longer storyline and we get that here as well with it being now clear what that longer story is and who the players are. It’s an interesting direction playing up Lucifer’s duplicitous nature but also having him face the reality that he’s very much human now or at least has human connections.

The episode is great allowing both Ella and Linda to stand out showing off their comedic chops. Both are characters I want to see more of and the show is somehow more entertaining when they take center stage. That’s impressive considering the show is already pretty damn entertaining.

Lucifer continues to show off why it’s so entertaining and makes the case that it has the best ensemble cast on television. This is easily the best episode of the year so far and maybe one of the most entertaining so far period. And that’s really saying something.

Overall Rating: 8.9
