Thank you so much for another fun reaction for Lucifer!!! I enjoy this episode. I think that another key aspect that draws me to this show is seeing how Lucifer works out his personal dilemmas throughout each case he works with Chloe on, then always learns more about himself than he ever expects to. First... a lot of my favorite moments throughout this show in its entirety, tend to be the more subtle, as well as heartfelt moments within an episode. And one of my favorite moments in this episode is one of those moments. I really love when Lucifer talks to Chloe about him being a sin-eater, and how no one willingly chooses to become one like he was forced to become one upon being cast out of Heaven and into Hell. You can see the pain once again in his eyes as he talks about how it's a sin-eater's duty to absolve the world from the worst all humanity has to offer while it changes you, while really talking about how such has been his duty for eons because of the punishment forced upon him by his father, until he then swiftly hides it behind the mask he always keeps in place before Chloe sees his pain. Unfortunately, she isn't really understanding what he's really saying because she's too caught up in trying to figure out their case. Even though Lucifer doesn't expound further on what it means to be a sin-eater, I really love the subtle underlying meaning behind his words. My other favorite scene is in the end when Lucifer distracts the killer by talking with the HR guy about the reasons why they both punish people, while Chloe is making her way up to the controls so she can set off the cooling system before the killer can burn the owner of the web company alive. This is when Lucifer comes to understand the difference between him and this other punisher, given that this man has despicably come to enjoy punishing people just like those he punished while claiming he did so because they deserved a taste of their own medicine, while Lucifer truly hates punishing people in spite of it being the duty forced upon him. This man has only become a part of the problem with those who've become sin-eaters... someone deserving of punishment. This scene is just brilliantly acted by Tom Ellis once again, just as always. And as for the killer... while I don't like the actor who plays him because of a role I've seen of his in another series I watched some time ago, he does a really good job at playing the bad guy role here in this episode. And like you, I didn't expect the killer to be him, even though I should have, given that he's the only guest star in this episode I recognized from that other show. Now, as for the overall case itself... I really enjoy it. I love the idea of a killer seeking out people they see as those deserving of punishment for their own terrible and cruel misdeeds. Even if they're truly deserving or not. The problem though, is that some times, sin-eaters aren't always right about who is truly deserving of such punishment and who isn't. A lot of the times, innocents suffer from people who believe in this way of thinking. Which is what can make sin-eaters so dangerous. Even Lucifer isn't always good at seeing who are deserving of punishment and those who aren't. Which is why he appreciates Chloe and has come to care deeply for her. Because she helps him see what he can't and she makes him a better man. I love this about their character development!!! Oh... and I love how Chloe mocks Lucifer in the end once she douses Lucifer, their killer, and their victim in the coolant to stop the killer, as she states, "Man, you really don't shut up.", to which Lucifer jokingly retorts, "Congratulations, Detective. I suppose I look quite extinguished," rather than distinguished, which would be the proper word since extinguished means to put out a flame or fire. I really love all of Lucifer's many puns and not so subtle jokes. Hilarious! :) And as for Chloe and Dan ending their marriage, I definitely feel it's the right decision for them and for their daughter. Of course I feel badly for both of them that their marriage is over, because they're both good people. But they're better off as friends after all they've been through, which they've made very clear. And I really do love their friendship. And lastly... I like the scene between Amenadiel and their mother. It seems sweet. The question is once again though... does she really mean all she says, because once again, we see her act shady and devious in the end when she deals with the mugger and smiles, as it's revealed her powers are slowly returning to her. And after we see her smile at the end of last episode upon claiming to Lucifer that she had been the one to convince God to cast him down to Hell... it's really hard to say whether or not she means anything she says. She just appears to love causing mischief and chaos in Lucifer's life, especially at his job while she's trying to figure out why her son loves it so much. Thank you so much! I enjoyed watching your reaction for Lucifer like always. And I can't wait for more!! Until your next reaction, my friend...
