2021-11-16 13:35:33 +0000 UTCI love the twist that Lucifer is now vulnerable. It raises the stakes since he can´t run into any danger anymore. The story of the episode was fun. When I first watched it I didn´t figure it out. And I kinda felt bad for the guy. He was a douche, but I believe in people being capable of change, and he genuinely cared for her, atleast now. The girl definitely went too far, and who knows, if she kept it up for longer maybe she actually could have forgiven him, instead of doing this. Lucifer´s devilface is basically a 2nd face. His normal one is his real one and the devil one he got when he got cast out and send to hell. Since he was initially "just" another angel it wouldn´t make sense if that was his true face and he always looked like that.

2021-11-16 11:18:50 +0000 UTCManly Whatnots- Lucifer is a lovable and an adorable dork. I just love him! :) Thank you so much for another fabulous reaction, Jessie!! I really love this episode. It's the first of my favorites from season one, because it begins to build up one of the brilliant mysteries about who Lucifer is and what's happening to him when we see the scars on his back from where he had his wings cut off, and see him suddenly bleed for the very first time in his very long existence after becoming wounded upon getting shot by Chloe. And I absolutely love it!! First... I really enjoy the opening scene as we see Chloe struggle to put together all the weirdness and strange things surrounding Lucifer that she can't explain in her head while she's showering, until she hears noise coming in from downstairs only to discover Lucifer has come into her house to cook her breakfast. I just really continue to love their dynamic with one another and the humor they both bring to this show. Also... I love the moment with Trixie once she and Dan walk in to find Lucifer there, while Chloe is wrapped up only in a towel. I love that Trixie immediately rushes over to hug Lucifer once again, as he quickly feels uncomfortable by her embrace. And I love how Lucifer tempts her with bacon in order to try to lure her away from him. They're so cute with one another. I love how Trixie genuinely has come to care about him so quickly, and how she always finds him so funny. I love that she genuinely wants to be friends with him. Their relationship is adorable. As for Dan's coldness towards Lucifer and curtness with Chloe because he thinks Chloe is sleeping with him... to some degree, I can understand why he's upset with the idea that Chloe might have moved on from him, since it's clear that them being separated is more Chloe's idea than his own, and because he still appears to love her. But at the same time, he definitely earns Lucifer's nickname for him here, because Dan acts like a douche towards Lucifer and sometimes Chloe too, including in this moment by acting so judgmental when he tells Chloe he is disappointed with her for choosing to sleep with someone like Lucifer. I like Dan as a character for the most part, mostly because I am intrigued by the potential his character brings to this show. But sometimes he definitely also annoys me too. As for the case throughout this episode... I like the overall mystery behind the girl's kidnapping, and getting introduced to Carver, who is a player and who teaches other losers to become players like him through seminars and classes. I didn't initially care much about the girlfriend or her brother because their acting seemed really off for me in the beginning, but then... I wasn't expecting the kidnapper to turn out to be the girlfriend and her brother all along, who have set the player up because he had slept with Lindsey some years earlier and used his night with her to further along his career by including their time together in one of the chapters in his book. There are definitely hints that make us suspect that the brother is involved, and therefore... possibly Lindsey too. But I still wasn't completely sure the first time I watched this episode, so I still was very surrpised that they both turned out to be the true criminals in this case. I love that Carver wound up falling in love with Lindsey upon meeting her again under a different persona, only for Lindsey and her brother to set him up for what he did to her. All three characters are despicable really, but I love Lucifer's and Chloe's involvement in solving the case, which leads to one of my favorite scenes within this episode. I absolutely love how Lucifer keeps his word with the kidnapper by walking into the warehouse alone without Chloe in order to pay the ransom for Lindsey's safe return, only for him to discover the truth behind the entire case when Lindsey appears behind Carver and shoots him. But more so... I love how Lucifer stands between Lindsey and her brother to protect Carver in spite of recognizing that he wronged Lindsey just as she's now wronged him. I just love how Lucifer recognizes that Carver doesn't deserve to be killed in spite of what he's done, which is why he protects him. This shows us that Lucifer isn't bloodthirsty, or that he wants to make people suffer out of pleasure like you would expect the Devil to want. He demands righteous justice, which I love! And Carver... while he does love Lindsey and he's grown since he first met her two years earlier, he is still despicable. After all... Carver is still teaching men all the wrong and despicable ways to win a girl's heart, simply so they can sleep with the women they want. I also love how Lucifer approaches Lindsey as he shows her his Devil face to punish her, saying that he's appalled by her actions and her plea for him not to hurt her, when she was willing to kill Carver to make him pay for his own mistakes, like she is making now. Now, in answer to your question regarding Lucifer's Devil face... the handsome face we see of his all of the time is absoutely who he looks like. Because Lucifer was once an angel if you think back to your knowledge of the Devil and his fall from Heaven from the Bible stories, as well as from other shows and movies where the Devil is a character. But there is also a very important reason for Lucifer also having this devilish face that he shows to those he punishes. A reason you will learn more about as you continue on with watching Lucifer. Just as you will continue to learn more and more about Lucifer himself, and why Chloe affects him such as she does. Why she's so different from every other woman. And I absolutely love it!!! Just you wait!!! :) And then... we have the moment between Lucifer and Chloe once she appears behind Lucifer, then suddenly sees a brief glimpse of his Devil face within the mirror before he turns around to face her as his true self once more. I love how Chloe suddenly becomes afraid of him, as she asks him who and what he is, only for him to remind her once again that he's told her the truth about him time and time again, then urges her to shoot him so that he can prove to her once and for all that he truly is the Devil like he claims to be. And at last... Chloe suddenly gives in out of pure instinctive fear and shoots him in his leg, then seconds later, Lucifer strangely realizes that he's feeling far more pain than he's ever felt before in all his time on Earth and reaches down to his leg where she shoots him, finding that he is bleeding in spite of it being impossible for him to bleed by any mortal weapon given that he is immortal... or is supposed to be. I love his shock upon discovering he is feeling pain and that he's bleeding. And I also love that this moment ultimately brings Chloe to thinking she's been a fool for believing even for a moment that he just might be the Devil like he claims to be upon seeing him to be human, and capable of being harmed just like like everyone else. I also love the moment between him and Chloe outside of the warehouse once again after they finish speaking with the police Captain, as Chloe questions Lucifer about how he never lies once he had stood up for Chloe to the Captain, and protected her by refusing to say that she had actually been the one to shoot him. I love how Lucifer then responds that he doesn't lie, but that he doesn't always tell the whole truth either. And it's so cute how Chloe then smiles at him as she thanks him for protecting her, then offers to drive him home. Also... I love the conversation between Lucifer and Chloe in her car once they pull up outside of the warehouse to wait to enter before Carver arrives. I love how Chloe questions him about the possibility of him being the Devil and how it feels for him to be shot, then how she explains that she doesn't believe in the Devil, Hell, or in Heaven, but does believe in right and wrong... good and evil. And more so... I especially love the moment Lucifer nervously asks her if she's afraid of him, upon sensing her feeling uncomfortable. You can see in his eyes that he's really worried that she might be afraid of him, which is really sad. But thankfully... she assures him she isn't, until she actually shows her fear in the moment she does actually fear he might be the Devil inside the warehouse when she arrives to keep him from punishing Lindsey. Absolutely brilliant!!! :) Next... I love the scene between Chloe and her daughter after she comes home that night. I love how Trixie sweetly asks her mother if Lucifer is okay once she reveals that she had shot him when Trixie sees the blood on her sweater. And I love how Trixie then talks about her mother having told her that the kid in her class likes her, and compares the story to how Chloe might like Lucifer too because she shot him. So cute!!! And the funny thing is... Chloe doesn't actually deny it before they run back to Trixie's room so she can put her daughter to bed again with a bedtime story. Love it! And I love Trixie's concern for Lucifer too. And then... Maze becomes even more unhappy with Lucifer when he smugly plays off getting shot and smiles at her because he finds that this experience has been exhilarating, and after her earlier confrontation with Amenadiel after he explains that this world is changing Lucifer, she's definitely grown concerned for Lucifer, and even more so because he doesn't see the dangers of possibly becoming mortal. As for how Lucifer continuously asks Chloe to have sex with him... Normally, it would be very wrong for him to continously act this way around her, such as it is for any man to treat a woman like Lucifer does Chloe. And normally, if any character in a show or movie treated a woman like this, I would be so repulsed by him and I would hate his character. Absolutely. However, Lucifer doesn't understand human feelings, and therefore... while he knows right from wrong and he punishes only those who are truly evil, he doesn't necessarily understand just how inappropriate his actions really are, especially since he's never felt the way he feels towards Chloe about anyone before. And he's never really had to ask a woman to have sex with him before, since one of his Devilish abilities cause all women and even some men to immediately feel attracted to him, as we see with Linda. So I love that we get to see Lucifer struggle to understand why Chloe refuses to sleep with him in spite of his best efforts to convince her to do so. Besides... Lucifer doesn't understand his feelings he's begun to feel for her either, and I feel that the more he grows to respect Chloe, and comes to care more deeply for her, the more he comes to understand that his actions aren't so appropriate. And I think he gets this by the end. And this is why I am not repulsed or turned off by him. There's a lot of humor brought to the episode because of this storyline, but then... there are also some much deeper emotions brought out within this storyline as well, especially once Lucifer comes to understand why she's so upset with him during another of my absolute favorite scenes within this episode. I love, love, love the moment between Lucifer and Chloe when she arrives at his penthouse just before the party, when he appears before her naked, offering her a chance to see him as such to try to make up for him having seen her naked earlier that morning, in spite of him doing so being inappropriate once again. However, in this moment as Lucifer asks her to look at him, it's then that Chloe sees the ugly and painful looking scars on his back from where he had Maze cut out his wings from his body. And then... just as Chloe is about to touch them as she reaches out to do so... Lucifer suddenly grasps her hand to stop her from touching him, and the look on his face is absolute sadness and confusion, as he pleads with her not to touch them. I absolutely love how vulnerable he suddenly feels with her in this moment, as we sense that whatever happened to him to get him to the point of asking his demon cut off his wings, must have been very painful for him. But he swiftly shrugs his sudden feelings and confusion off, and yet you can tell that he still feels uncomfortable while he goes off to get himself dressed because he's still struggling to understand what just happened with Chloe. This moment is phenomenal, and it adds so much more to his character, which I absolutely love. It's why it's so easily another one of my favorite moments within this episode too. :) And it's after this moment that Lucifer stops asking Chloe to have sex with him, and begins to act more the gentleman he truly is around her, because he then realizes how it feels to be uncomfortable to feel so vulnerable, since she's acted so uncomfortable around him by his constant prodding to have sex with him and upon him breaking into her home without being invited in by her. He realizes in this moment he's crossed the line, which I really love and appreciate. Overall... this is a phenomenal episode and it's definitely the best so far as you've seen. So, thank you once again, Jessie! I am so happy to continue watching this phenomenal show with you, and I can't wait for more!! Until then, my dear friend... Sincerely, Heidi

2021-11-15 21:54:05 +0000 UTCSo Lucifer’s Devil face: I am under the impression that God created them as they are and it wasn't until he was banished to rule Hell that he got his devil face. But this is just speculation on my part

2021-11-15 20:14:34 +0000 UTCStill watching but I already love your insight on Maze. It is obvious she likes being with Lucifer and parts of earth but having to repress parts of herself and lack of other companions is definitely having an effect on her
