Ok, so they REALLLLY stepped up their game for this season. I lost count of the number of times I burst out laughing, but the TENSION of the chase when they were searching for Chloe shows the balance they were able to make between the funny and the serious. Dan's breakdown was done so well in that regard, with desperation he showed begging on his knees, transitioning to the Michael entrance that I personally found hilarious, with the foreboding of the manipulation.
I was somewhat expecting the twist of Pete actually being the killer fairly early on, but was really hoping that wouldn't happen because ELLA HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH!! How about some good old fashioned peace and not constant struggle? Just let her be happy. Although, was Pete already a Star Trek fan, or did he learn Klingon specifically for Ella? Also, the whole "Just to be clear, this is you breaking up with me, right?" was pretty funny despite the general atmosphere at that point in time.
The nuns with Amenadiel was hilarious, as was the devil face being the only thing to calm down Charlie, and Chloe thinking Amenadiel was her father, and the demons ("Take the rest of the day off", "Hey, is that Mazikeen?", "Should we get back to work?"), Lucifer and his jealousy (I went to hell and back for you twice, but whose counting?), Linda and Ella being hard-core Deckerstar fans, I mean the list goes on, but for the sake of time I think I've made my point.
Also back to Dan, I really enjoyed his dynamic with Lucifer this season, with them actually working together and having a good relationship (bracelet bros for life!).
And yes, of course Chloe and Lucifer together was great, despite all the wrenches thrown their way, Michael shaped or otherwise. Was it the time freeze confusing him, or could he really not say it? Please no more trouble.
And the time freeze, yikes Amenadiel, way to be an overachiever. Though that broken glass scene was epic.
And speaking of epic, THANKS FOR THE CLIFFHANGER! They really went out on a high note, didn't they. Can't wait for the second half.
