Guilty and self-destructive, Lucifer clashes with Chloe during an investigation, leading her to team up with Dan instead.  Meanwhile, Amenadiel bonds with Charlotte, and Maze takes Trixie trick-or-treating.

Lucifer is an interesting episode in that we get to see some real ramifications and catharsis regarding events of the previous episode. Lucifer is filled with guilt and acting out because he feels guilty over being forced to kill his brother Uriel.

It’s an interesting episode in that Lucifer wants to be the one who’s punished for his actions but there’s no one to do so. So, but his acting out he’s hoping someone will fill that role. This is the most devilish we’ve seen the character and Tom Ellis shines as usual as the character playing both asshole, but someone we actually feel for. There’s also the interesting question as to how you punish the Devil himself?

But, the biggest question is whether Lucifer’s actions were forced or if he committed them willfully. It’s pointed out this is a character and person who never does anything he doesn’t want to, but is that the case here? It’s left unanswered and for us viewers to decide.

All of that is given the backdrop of a vengeful individual looking to make others pay. As usual the episode’s crime of the week reflects the theme of the episode, an interesting play on things that I wish was more prevelant at times and it’d be interesting to explore Lucifer more that way, think of the show with a Se7en twist to it.

It’s also not just Lucifer who is dealing with Uriel’s death. Amendiel is also realing from the action and has some very interesting moments with his mother Charlotte. This leads to a fantastic scene where D.B. Woodside shines in his role giving a speach about God and his presence and absence. It’s a very interesting moment that is as much about setting up that aspect as it is asking us about our own views and God’s role in every day occurences.

But, the entire episode is weighty as that. Maze has to get used to being around Trixie and rooming with Chloe. The jokes are all there as Maze is beyond awkward with children and her sexual oppeness isn’t something Chloe is used to either. That all culminates in some trick-or-treating that’s beyond awesome and actually gives Maze the character some growth.

This is definitely the most dramatic of episode so far, but is a nice break from the humor we’ve seen. We get to see Ellis and Woodside expand their acting chops a bit and all the characters add some depth. A solid episode that mixes the dramatic, humor, and some philisophical ruminations.

Overall Rating: 9.45
