This is the episode that will always go down as the first time we see Lucifer question God's authority. I was raised in the church and taught that Jesus is the light, the Devil is bad, etc. etc., but anyone who watched this episode saw that Lucifer isn't all horns and evil but hurts emotionally just like a human. Even though he initially thought Father Frank was guilty, the priest's murder was the catalyst that we as viewers began to truly see the difference between this devil and the devil of the Bible. I felt the emotion Tom Ellis showed when he spoke with his Father off of his balcony anguishing over the fact that no matter how people live their lives, they are all expendable in His name. He basically made viewers believe that God did not care if people were sinners or saints. It was the first of many powerful episodes Tom Ellis has put out with this show.
