The Devil and Chloe grapple with problem parents in this weeks episode of Lucifer.
Its an oddly endearing quality, but only if you believe Lucifer is who he actually purports to be.
Yes, its heavy-handed, but this show has never really been about subtlety, has it?

Luciferdoubles down in this regard by finally bringing Chloes mother onto the show.
Theyre both overgrown children who crave attention and thrive on the chaos they create in those around them.
This doesnt necessarily make them bad people but it doesnt exactly make them good, either.
That being said, Penelope Decker is fun to watch.
Whatever mistakes shes made as a parent, she seems poised to make again as a grandparent.
For Chloe, thats one mistake too many.
As for Dan, hes grappling with his own problems.
This is character growth of the highest order for Lucifer.
If this is another divine test, hes passed it with flying colors.
With only three episodes left before the season finale, we wont have long to wait.
Some closing thoughts:
Maze and Trixie were an unlikely duo this week, werent they?
It was interesting to see such disparate characters play off one another, but it totally worked.
It was also fun seeing Maze play against Dr. Martin.
Maze is very much out of her element, away from hellish responsibilities in the underworld.
