Before I begin this week’s review of Lucifer, I hope that all my fellow Canadians have enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving. Now sit back with your turkey-filled bellies and enjoy this review.
This episode reminds me of an episode of CSI: Cyber where the killer killed based on the seven deadly sins. The victims recorded their deaths which led to the two murders that Detective Decker and Lucifer were solving. The videos were then posted on a social networking site. The website for tonight is Wobble, a fictitious version of Facebook. Guess the writers decided to take a page out of the old CSI book. I suppose it helps if the same person produces both shows. I applaud you, Mr. Bruckheimer.
It would also seem that our favourite Devil is still dealing with his Mommy issues. From interrupting his coital rendezvous with an unknown female (I don’t want to know what the feather duster and the can of whipped cream were for) to dancing on the tables at LUX. When Detective Decker caught Lucifer moments after he sent his mother away in the precinct elevator, I held my breath waiting to hear what his explanation would be. Though if he were to tell her the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, I don’t think that she would believe him even if he told her over and over till he’s blue in the face.
Amenadiel is also dealing with issues of his own. The archangel drank himself into a stupor as he tried to come to terms with his fall from grace. When Maze came to see him at his fake psychiatrists’ office, he quickly vacuumed up his fallen feathers. Perhaps he still wants to maintain his dignity and not have the woman for whom he has developed feelings for (I’m assuming) to see him like this. Question marks were floating around my head, however, that he didn’t recognize his mother when he saw her at Lucifer’s penthouse. Then again, she didn’t address him by name until much later.
The scene with Detective Dan at the beginning of the episode amused me. At first, I thought that he was talking to Detective Decker. I then realized that he was talking to Trixie when he pulled a container of double fudge cake from behind his back. It looks like someone has been learning a few things from the Devil. Beatrice Espinoza, you little demon, you.
I howled with laughter when Lucifer and Ray the HR guy were doused with fire extinguisher foam. Yes, you look very extinguished, Lucifer. The latter was about to drop a lighter and light Leila Simms, the co-founder of Wobble, up like a human torch. I hoped that Lucifer would show his Devil face and freak Ray out, but Detective Decker was nearby so maybe not. Oh, the part where Lucifer tried to touch the charred crotch and Detective Decker telling him not to was hilarious.
Detective Dan also came to the realization that he and Detective Decker aren’t working out anymore. Detective Decker apologized for being harsh, and she wanted them to go on their family camping trip. The former then said that he couldn’t go on the camping trip because they can’t lie to Trixie anymore. He suggested that they should get a divorce to which I applauded. Sir Douche finally did something right, kudos to him. I sense future Deckerstar in the works. I also sense that Mama Morningstar will find a way to get back at Lucifer for making her live her life on Earth as Charlotte Richards.
