TV Review: Lucifer S2E10 Quid Pro Ho
Charlotte is determined to get Lucifer to leave Earth by turning Chloe against him. Meanwhile, Amenadiel has begun working as Charlotte’s soldier, which makes Maze question his loyalty.
Lucifer has finally left me speechless with an episode full of reveals to things that have been teased out since the first season and it’s a twist I didn’t see coming at all.
The episode mainly focuses on the trial of the murder of Chloe’s father. Charlotte is the accused’s lawyer and she uses that opportunity to drive a wedge between Lucifer and Chloe as the trial goes on and on.
But, the episode isn’t so much about the trial as it is the reveals throughout.
Amenadiel through his actions reveals to Maze that he’s working for Charlotte and Maze of course has some issues with that, threatening them both if something were to happen to Chloe. Battle to come? I know I want to see Amenadiel and Maze duke it out.
But there’s a lot more reveals. Detective Douche’s relationship with Charlotte is revealed to Lucifer and with that some great laughs. It’s the lighthearted aspect of the episode along with a fun sequence of Maze getting to kick some ass.
And then there’s a scene at the end involving Detective Douche… well I’ll just leave that one to be seen.
But the biggest aspect of the episode of the final reveal as we get the truth about Chloe. The series up to this point has been hinting there’s something going on with her… something almost divine and we get all the answers. It’s a hell of a twist and flows really nicely. It’s not over the top or feels forced, instead like a lot of the series things just seem like they fit together.
This is an episode that had me entertained from start to finish with a fantastic mix of everything. There’s some solid acting, fun writing, and a lot of reveals throughout that really ups the drama a ton. Easily the best episode of the season and one of the strongest of the entire series.
Overall Rating: 9.45
