Lucifer - Pops


The murder of a local chef and the arrival of Chloe's (Lauren German) mother in town provide the storylines for the latest episode of Lucifer. The restaurant poisoning of a hard father figure everyone called "Pops" certainly brings Lucifer's (Tom Ellis) daddy issues to the forefront while Chloe struggles to deal with her overbearing showbiz mother. And somewhere admist the chaos of where those two storylines meet Lucifer also throws in a subplot involving Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) finally accepting her current situation and making an unexpected friend.

The murder of the week has nice twist or two before the detective and the devil bag their killer. Of course the episode gives us plenty of Detective Douche Dan (Kevin Alejandro) who has mixed feelings about his old partner targeting the man who has wormed his way into his ex-wife's life. Is it wrong that I'm hoping Malcolm (Kevin Rankin) just kills Dan at this point and helps cut off some of the show's excess fat? If so, the devil made me do it.
