Lucifers newest episode serves up cheeky fun and devilish drama in equal measure.
Instead, his turning down her advances awakens in him an unexpected selflessness that leaves him baffled but intrigued.
For Lucifer Morningstar, being morally upright is a real rush.
In the case of this weeks murder, well-regarded philanthropist Tim Dunlear has been slain.
But more on that in a bit.
As Malcolm explains it to Dan, in Hell, one is robbed of the things they most cherish.
In Malcolms case, he had a real hunger for life so he was isolated and deprived of food.
Of course, Dan believes none of what Malcolm is saying, and why would he, really?
Its not like anyone believes the Devil exists, even when theyre staring him in the eye.

It was definitely interesting to see the fear in Lucifers eyes.
Hes mortal, after all or so he believes.
I liked the idea of the Devil striking a deal with a mortal to save his own skin.
Amenadiels clever little plan is a bust, and Lucifer has dodged an actual bullet.
That is, until Tim Dunlears wife pumps several bullets into Lucifers chest.
In other words, shes walking Kryptonite.
This begs the question: Is Chloe Decker somehow of divine origin, as many viewers have speculated?
It would certainly seem so.
But if thats the case, what does it mean for their partnership, and indeed the show itself?
Some closing thoughts:
This episode was full of great one-liners, delivered by Tom Ellis with great aplomb.
Some of the better bon mots:
The Devil usually has good gaydar.
Even the homeless have an IMDb page.
The Devil does indeed wear Prada.
Who would have thought Maze and Amenadiel could have such strong chemistry?
Their scenes together were a lot of fun.
Now, the only problem is that I need to know more about this mysterious goat story.
I liked the way Chloe described Lucifers Jedi mind trick as that hypnotism voodoo eye thing.
I didnt really care about Dan or his predicament.
He became an unsympathetic character ever since we learned he was another dirty cop embroiled in the Palmetto case.
