Welcome to whatever this is..

Written By: Joe Henderson & Jason Ning Directed By: Claudia Yarmy Starring: Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Aimee Garcia, Lesley-Ann Brandt, D.B. Woodside, Tom Welling Air Date: February 06, 2018

Now that was an episode to be proud of! This week’s episode of Lucifer reminded us why we love it so much. The episode had every single member of their very large cast in it, and yet they all got a chance to shine. It seems like the show is getting back to that season 2 quality, and I could not be happier. The episode, “My Brother’s Keeper”, was written by Jason Ning and showrunner Joe Henderson. It is an episode that played to the show’s strengths, and it showed.

The Unlikeliest of Duos

This episode of Lucifer was centered on Ella Lopez and her family situation. Her eldest brother Jay stands accused of murder and so she recruits Maze to help find him. We are treated to an absolutely adorable scene with Trixie and Ella including matching t-shirts, knives and a fake accent. Maze seems to be attacking dummies made to look like Linda and Amenadiel and teaching Trixie little tricks. She agrees to help Ella once Ella offers to pay.

Their interactions throughout the episode are golden as Ella keeps trying to find ways to bond with Maze. Maze has clearly subscribed to the Ron Swanson school of “call someone a different name so they don’t think you care about them” but we know that, like Ron, she actually does care. Lesley-Ann Brandt and Aimee Garcia are hilarious together as you could not find a more different pair, but it works for them. Every time the writers give Garcia more to do her talent blows me away.

Review - Lucifer S03E10: The Sin Bin - Word of The Nerd

This week, in the midseason finale of Lucifer, we get the apparent conclusion to the Sinnerman arc and a new player is revealed.

So there we have it, folks; we’ve just seen the Lucifer midseason finale, and what a ride it was! Kidnappings, roller derby, partnerships, and bombs were all in the same crazy episode. “The Sin Bin” was written by Sheri Elwood and directed by Greg Beeman. In the most typical Lucifer fashion, we got answers but also got a thousand new questions. I swear if I didn’t love this show so much that would annoy me, but the fact is I do love this show, and this was a great midseason finale.

You’re My Partner

This episode was equally wonderful and painful for fans of Chloe and Lucifer, whether it be romantically or just as partners. We start off at Lucifer’s Lux penthouse where there is a party, which included an angel piñata filled with joints and condoms, celebrating the Sinnerman’s arrest. Maze points out that it won’t be as easy as everything seems and that the Sinnerman can still take away things that could hurt him, more specifically his life in LA, his human job, his club, and, of course, Chloe. It strikes a chord in Lucifer, as much as he pretends it doesn’t, and it’s part of why he does everything he does.
