‘Lucifer’ Gets Honest in the Very Entertaining Musical Episode (RECAP)
The much-anticipated musical episode of Lucifer is as enjoyable, emotional, and extraordinary as we expected, and it ends with a shock to both fans and Lucifer (Tom Ellis).
'Lucifer' cast shares farewell message as filming raps: 'What a Ride'
Fans still have 18 episodes before they say goodbye.
Perhaps most importantly, the singing and dancing set-up works for everyone. It's simple: God (Dennis Haysbert) is doing this with his powers. He is stuck here and there on Earth, trying to spend time with his son and, especially fun, meeting Date. Dan Espinoza (Kevin Alejandro). Their mutual ... connection, we call it, to a considerable acquaintance with Charlotte / Devi (Tricia Halfer).

"Wicked game"
After Lucifer's heartbreaking conversation with Det. Chloe Decker (Lauren German) about love, the devil sings a song to match the mood: "Wicked Game" by Chris Issac. It's gut-wrenching, and he looks really awful. (Chloe is not doing any better.)
God appreciates his son's performance ("I forgot what a wonderful voice you were blessed with") and tells him that he is staying and sent Michael (also Alice) back to heaven. "Sent her to her room, right?" Lucifer pinches. But he is not at all eager to experience the father-son relationship that God desires. "How about when hell freezes?" Lucifer suggests. Ouch.
"Another one Bites the dust"
To Chloe's pleasant surprise, Lucifer joins her at the crime scene. But he is certain that they will push it beyond his current issue and he is capable of love. As they focus their attention on the work, forensic scientist Ella Lopez (Amy Garcia), Dan, Chloe, Lucifer, bystanders, and even the victim (a referee) of "Other One Bites the Dust" by the queen Let's launch into a fun dance number.
When Lucifer sees his father on the sidelines, he realizes why. Do not worry, God assured him, Lucifer will not know that he is here… because even more dancing is going on behind him. "Oh my God," says Lucifer.
Lucifer tells Chloe who God is, she walks in, introduces herself (though she knows that he knows who she is) and says to her, "Respectfully, sir, you are a terrible father. To me. Sure your hands were full with the earth, the sun, the universe, whatever you make, but I know what it is like to be a working parent, and my two cents, again respectfully, when it comes to Lucifer Hai, you get screwed. More time. Your child moves and you throw them out of the house and the radio is silent for thousands of years? It just makes sense. Respectfully. " God likes him. Lucifer quickly pulls her away when she brings a "gift" for him.
Meanwhile, Amenadiel (DB Woodside) tells Dr. Linda Martin (Rachel Harris) that their child is just a normal human being. While she is happy that she does not have to worry about Charlie's powers being revealed, she also realizes that Amenadiel is disappointed that he is not an angel like her. Yes, angels are better than humans, the celestial beings say that they hurt.
"Every Breath You Take"
While Lucifer and Chloe interrogate a student who threatened the victim, her mother begins singing the police's "Every breath you take." Lucifer joins as God watches. It is revealed that the child's mother sends threats, but the teenager gives them a lead: he sees the victim arguing with a boy.
When Chloe suggests that it is better to work through the issues with the parents, drawing a parallel between Case and Lucifer, Satan decides to take God to his penthouse. If they can work on their relationship, maybe Lucifer can also have a relationship.
Q Lucifer shows God about the work and introduces him to Dan. ("He has a desk. Maybe if you work hard enough you can one day rise to the level of this man," says God.) Dan panics when he realizes who is standing in front of him. Goes, kneels, then hugs her. "I know who you really are," God informs him. "I believe you have met my wife. ... See you later. Or not." strange.
When the demon maze (Leslie-Ann Brandt) brings a reward to the station, she attempts to leave him with Ella. After all, he is a bad guy with a motorcycle. Ella tries to resist while telling Maze that she thinks trying to torture him is just an act. This leads to a mash-up of two singing and dancing-tables to George Thorogood and the Destroyers' "Bad to the Bone" and Ella to TLC's "No Scrubs". This is the most entertaining number of the episode.
When Chloe refuses to come in the middle of an argument between Lucifer and God about the quality of the station's coffee, Satan brings his father (and mug) to Linda. Lucifer says that God made them all incomplete and then criticized them for not measuring their high standards. God refuses to be angry at anything, even when Lucifer takes him to hell. And of course, he has people singing and dancing, but God reminds his son that he is participating. Linda is a little too distracted by her own problems, namely about Amenadiel's feelings about her son not being an angel, but God decides that he is going to support Lucifer (a little too much).
For example, Lucifer does not need a cheer section ("see you, all determined and authoritative, solving crimes like a real detective"), while he and Chloe question the person who accompanies the victim. Was arguing.
"Hell"
Upon meeting each other in Lux, Emanedial offers to give Dan some space as he comes to terms with his divinity. But Dan has a big concern, namely that Charlotte is the wife of God. "Was the goddess ever residing in Charlotte's body while I was living in Charlotte's body?" Dan asks. It is possible? And is Amenadiel's father a jealous God or is he above things like "deadly revenge-induced anger"? Not necessary. Since he slept with God's wife, Dan concludes that he is definitely going "hell", making him sing the song Squirrel Nut Zippers ... because God is pleased to see him perform at the club.
"Just the two of us"
Lucifer can only take his father for so long, and when God brings him breakfast (he's seen Lucifer's naked body everywhere in the penthouse, it's not a big deal), he sends her to harass him Is - or goes to meet her other children.
And so God sees Linda and Amenadiel burst into a very melodious rendition of "Just the Two of Us" as they walk Charlie into the park.
Meanwhile, Lucifer and Chloe wrap up the matter. The referee was not killed because of a call made during a game, but would be changed simultaneously by his wife, who knew nothing about his life. But can God change? Chloe feels that it has not taken long for Lucifer to do justice, but he is not so sure.
"Smile"
Chloe puts her daughter, Trixie (Scarlett Estevez) to bed before taking time to think about her life with Lucifer (so far). Unknowingly aware of her, Tricks looks her head out of her room and sings the "smile" of Nat King Cole. Lord, outside Chloe's house, raises his hand to knock but instead walks away.
"I dreamed a Dream"
God then goes to see his son, who eventually had enough. "Rejecting me was bad enough, forcing me to go to hell, but I had a life here, I had a good thing!" Lucifer tells him. "Detective, it made me weak, but it was terrible but it was also amazing because for the first time in my long, hopeless life, I felt something. And then you just turn around and you ruin it, you give it to him. You throw it. Why?"
This leads him to sing the Les Miserables song "I Dreamed a Dream," the rawest, honest song of the episode. "My son, the bringer of light, so full of light, it sometimes blinds you too," says God. He can't fix her, so Lucifer wants him to at least stop controlling her, as with singing. "I don't think it's possible," God admits. "My powers, son, I feel like I'm losing control of them." "husband?" Lucifer asks, sounding almost like a little boy.
