An unforeseen consequence of God‘s(Dennis Haysbert) appearance on Earth is revealed in “Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam” as people begin breaking into song and dance in his prescence, although no one but Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is aware of it afterwards. All the main characters get a number here highlighted by Lucifer’s duet of “I Dreamed a Dream” with his father and the surprise of Trixie (Scarlett Estevez) singing “Smile.” While not all the members of the cast have the singing voice of the show’s star, the staging of the numbers proves quite entertaining such as in Ella (Aimee Garcia) and Mazikeen‘s (Lesley-Ann Brandt) mashup of “Bad to the Bone” and “No Scrubs.”

The arrival of God (Dennis Haysbert) on Earth, continuing to work in mysterious ways, drives Lucifer (Tom Ellis) into a tailspin and leads to one hell of an uncomfortable family dinner. The case of the week involves a barbequed victim at a miniature golf course which also follows the theme of a dysfunctional family. Realizing Lucifer is dealing with family drama, but not its source, Chloe (Lauren German) steers the investigation both to find a killer and to see if will help her partner work through his own issues.  Despite the confession of the victim’s father (John Glover), the truth behind the murder turns out to be a bit more complicated.

Lucifer - BluBallz television review

“BluBallz” relies on one of the oldest television tropes of keeping Chloe (Lauren German) and Lucifer (Tom Ellis) from getting closer by the introduction of an ex (Justin Bruening) as a potential murder victim in their latest case and Lucifer completely misreading how to handle the situation. Taking questionable advice is the theme of the episode’s B-story in which Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) attempts to become more emotionally available by adopting Ella‘s (Aimee Garcia) personality. The weakest episode of the season so far is really only memorable for its final moments in which Lucifer and Chloe’s relationship gets physical and Michael steps back in for a little mischief by allowing Dan (Kevin Alejandro) to see an entirely new side of Lucifer Morningstar.

Lucifer - Detective Amenadiel television review

After a couple of strong, but more gimmicky, episodes, Lucifer gets back to business with an episode where the murder is secondary to two larger series arcs playing out. The circumstances of the murder being at a nunnery, and Chloe (Lauren German) temporarily needing space from Lucifer (Tom Ellis), allows for Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) to step-in for an episode and help solve the crime. Discovering that the nuns are drawn to him, much like others are drawn to his brother, not only helps in the case but also allows Amenadiel to come to conclusions about his effect on humans and answer the larger question about Lucifer’s effect on humans and Chloe’s effect on him.

Lucifer - It Never Ends Well for the Chicken television review

Once upon a time, the Devil went to New York City. Lucifer (Tom Ellis) tells Trixie (Scarlett Estevez) the story of his ring, not realizing that Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) has put her up to it in order to learn more about the secret which Michael foreshadowed earlier in the season. Presented in black-and-white, the story features several of the show’s stars as the Devil takes care to make it more interesting to his audience. The result is a stylish episode that both works as a standalone tale and part of the larger season arc as we see its themes creep into the storytelling from time to time. And, not least importantly, the story introduces us to Lilith, also played by Lesley-Ann Brandt, the mother of all demons.
