My Little Monkey- Thank you so much for another great reaction!! I really love this episode a lot too!! It's a lot of fun, especially because we get some great insight into Chloe's life as we learn how Chloe's father died and see Chloe investigate who killed him. I also love Lucifer's and Dan's storyline as they work together to investigate who murdered Chloe's father's supposed killer and gain a stronger understanding of one another. I'm not so sure they would consider themselves friends just yet, but they aren't enemies anymore either. But first... I didn't mention in my comments for the last episode, that I really enjoyed Maze's and Trixie's storyline as they go tick 'or treating together, and seeing Maze show her demon face to Trixie, who actually thought it was cool. While Trixie doesn't know that Maze really is a demon and that Lucifer really is the Devil, I suspect that she would still be okay with them, given that children are more understanding. Besides, she really cares about Maze and Lucifer, and she knows they're good in spite of what they are. Now... I also really enjoy Maze's overall storyline throughout this episode as well, as she seeks Linda's help upon realizing she's longing to find a new sense of purpose now that she no longer works for Lucifer at LUX as his bartender or as his protector. However, Linda is still reeling from Lucifer's revelation that he's the Devil. And because she now knows the truth about him, she's come to realize that Maze is also a demon just like Lucifer has told her during their sessions as well. Poor Linda is terrified, and it's most certainly understandable. I just love how Maze does all she can to try to convince Linda that she and Lucifer won't ever hurt her because she wants Linda to remain her friend, especially since Linda is her only real friend, aside from Lucifer, Chloe, and Trixie. In in the end, Maze finally gets through to Linda when she assures her that she and Lucifer are still who they've always been... her friends. I love it! :) But with that being said... I don't like how Maze is so angry with Lucifer for revealing the truth about them to Linda. Linda asked Lucifer for 100% honesty and that he no longer speak to her in what she still believes to be his metaphors. And as difficult as it was for Lucifer to reveal his monster side to her, he did so because a part of him really needed someone to be able to understand what he's feeling in order to talk through his pain. Maze treats Lucifer like he scared and hurt Linda on purpose, and that's so wrong. Lucifer was as gentle about showing his true face as he possibly could be, in spite of his reluctance with revealing himself to Linda. So to me... Maze is wrong to get angry with Lucifer. As for my favorite moments throughout this episode... I love, love, love the ending between Chloe, Lucifer, and Trixie when Chloe is making them egg sandwiches, then Trixie says goodbye to Lucifer as she attempts to hug him until he backs way uncomfortably, after which she quickly gives him a high five instead before running off. So cute! But more so... I love the beautiful moment between Lucifer and Chloe, as he begins sharing how he doesn't care much for his own father, then offers her peace of mind when he tells her that her father would be proud of her for all she's done to become who she's become. And in doing so, Chloe becomes emotional as she begins to cry. When she does, I love how Lucifer immediately apologizes to her out of worry, fearing that he's hurt her like he's hurt everyone else he's hurt lately too. However, Chloe simply looks up at him with gratitude and admiration for him in her eyes as she tells him to just shut up and then hugs him to get him to hold her close to him. So, so beautiful!! I love Lucifer's inability to understand why she's touched by his kindness. I absolutely love this moment between them, because it shows just how much he has come to care about Chloe, and how much she's come to care for him as well. Phenomenal!! :) As for my other favorite moment... I love the bonding moment between Lucifer and Dan when Lucifer discovers the secret Dan's been keeping from everyone, as he follows Dan to his improv class and catches Dan impersonating him to try to work out his anger towards Lucifer's actions in impersonating and making fun of him over the course of the last few days. This is really the first time we see them develop more into friends than simply two men always at odds with one another on account of their relationships with Chloe. This scene between them is very funny. And I love that they've come to an understanding between one another, and even laugh with one another too. Now... seeing Lucifer become Dan all throughout this episode in order to try to understand how to be someone other than himself because he believes himself to be a monster who hurts everyone he cares about, and then seeing Dan try to impersonate Lucifer in the end as well, is pretty funny. It's a little cringey, but in a good way that makes this episode very funny. However, I also love that through impersonating Dan and upon seeing Dan impersonate him, Lucifer is able to find a little peace of mind after having killed his brother, hurting Dan, Linda, and Chloe as well upon being somewhat oblivious to her feelings during this extremely difficult time for her. And you can see in the end that he has learned the lesson he needed to and found some peace, when he returns to Chloe's home after becoming himself again. As for the main storyline with Chloe seeking justice for her father in search of his real killer... I really love it. I can only imagine how painful it must be for Chloe to learn after all these years, that the man she believed to have killed her father was really innocent, or at least that he didn't actually have anything to do with his death after all when his real killer has been free all this time. But I love how Dan and Ella are so kind and gentle with her as they help her on the case, then later seeing Lucifer and Maze become more involved and helpful to her as well. And I love that they're the ones who allow Chloe to find justice for her father when they finally catch the warden in the end. I also love how Chloe talks Lucifer out of his funk when he's stuck in his mind while hating himself for hurting everyone, when she tells him she needs her partner back. After which Lucifer plays the Me's advocate, or the Devil's advocate, which is just so Lucifer to put himself into the common phrase, and thanks to Lucifer, Chloe is able to figure out that the warden is her father's true killer. Really brilliant! And lastly... another of my favorite moments is when Lucifer and Dan go to meet the hired killer in order to find out who it was who hired him to kill Chloe's father, as Lucifer plays the role of someone who seeks the killer out by claiming to want him to kill the monster he sees himself as... to kill Lucifer Morningstar, as he's still acting as someone else. You really see the hatred Lucifer has for himself in his eyes and you can hear it in his voice as he's talking so coldly. It's so sad and I feel so badly for him. But I love it! Amazing acting from Tom Ellis once again, as always. I love how we see Lucifer still struggling with his brother's death throughout this episode, and how we come to see how much Lucifer wishes he could be someone else who isn't the monster he sees himself as. Brilliant character development! :) Overall... this is a really good episode. I just love seeing all the friendships, as well as all of the emotions involved within Chloe's storyline, as well as Lucifer's storyline as well. And seeing Lucifer not only impersonate Dan, but also seeing him dress as Dan with his hair even parted like Dan's... hilarious! So thank you once again for another fun reaction!!! Until next time... Sincerely, Heidi
