Excellent. One of the best episodes.

There was so many feelings, and I don't know what should I feel. This is one of the best episodes. Tom Ellis, Tricia Helfer and Michael Imperioli did great job. I feel bad for Lucifer, because he is feeling very guilty for killing his brother; Uriel. I congratulate the writers, it's a great job and they must keep this up. I thought hell was burning but the real hell is on our head. Even Lord of the Hell was stuck out there. Lesley Ann Brandt was such a bad-ass like always. She's great for that role. Writers did great job at recent episodes but this is my favorite. I hope they won't mess up. Lucifer going to take revenge from his father! I can't wait till next week!

A true masterpiece

Definitely one of the best episodes in the series, great buildup to the spectacular outcome of the episode. For the first time you really get the sense of the idea of hell and what it brings along with the dedication of Lucifer to do whatever it takes for the "detective". The scene when Lucy comes back from the dead is something special along with the amazing soundtrack really takes things to another level. 10/10.

Hell Hath No fury...
DuskShadow1 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Least ways not compared to the passions of the characters in this show. I was never one for the comic books, but I have been into this show since it came out, and I must say that the relationships that have developed and the connections between the same characters in this show blow away anything I have ever seen in a soap opera/ day time or night time drama.

A person gives a damn about the people in this show.

Of course with the last few episodes leading to an inevitable bond finally solidifying between Lucifer and Detective Decker, it was paramount that there be come clichéd obstacles in their way, themselves included. But one cannot escape from the bland overdone drama of romance in the vein Casablanca fashion that has been a mainstay of most films and tales across various genres. Yet it works, and in Lucifer it worked well.

Detective Decker suffered from an obvious application of a toxin which was hinted at in a previous episode, no doubt some kind of by product of angelic/devilish blood concoction from whomever had Lucy's wings and time and know how to synthesize such a lethal cocktail.

So by the final episode, I saw Chloe's illness was coming from a mile away. And oh how Lucifer got angry, and though it could have really been the second coming of the red dragon, I suppose the real battles and flaming passions are just being saved for seasons 3 and 4.

Still The superb gentlemen in this show and the beautiful talented ladies have enraptured my attentions to a blazing hot fan-atical state (bad pun, but *shrugs *) and D.B. Woodside is now a name I shan't forgot. His acting in moments of pain and willful determination in this show have been impressive as he can realistically emote his characters feelings with authentic reactions like full brow furls and veiny headed frowns with tear strewn eyes. In this season finale, he was even better than normal as he stoically prevented doctors from moving Chloe's dying body from a hospital room while Lucifer dared the dreaded tricky maze of Hells guilty conscious cell blocks. Fighting off guard after guard, all of whom must have been a solid 200 plus pounds, and Amenadiel (woodside) with failing divine powers, holding his own.

A gripping moment that eventually lead to an important turn in the story line that any good rom/com/dram requires: The Sudden Separation. Hell Hath no Fury...like a cliffhanger. Ciao you little devils. ^~^

Best episode of the 4 seasons!!
carlosmvpereira14 May 2020
This one has it all! The climax is amazing and the soundtrack with "Unsteady" from the X Ambassadors is simply perfectly combined with the moment. All the main characters take part of it and it's really breathtaking. Amenadiel wins for me in this one tough...

Greatest episode of season 2
katewalsh8314 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
If I could give this episode more than 10 stars I definitely would. Those pivotal few moments when Lucifer & Charlotte are leaving hell, Amenadiel is stalwort, fighting off the security guards and X Ambassadors' "Unsteady" is playing, gives me chills every time I watch. Tim DeKay (who I've loved since White Collar) as the evil doctor in these past two episodes has been one of the best - and scariest - villains of the show to date, probably because what he is trying to prove is real, that he only made a human choice in saving himself over another. Definitely one of the most powerful episodes of this show of all time.

One of the best episodes in 4 1/2 seasons
elsa-claus24 January 2021
There are so many outstanding scenes in this episodes. Lucifer having a LOT of guilt because of him killing his brother and almost not getting out of hell was a really good story. They all played super good and I cried when I saw the hell scene.

possible goof with Amenadiel's photo
shereen33310 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
It's possible there's a goof, or I'm not catching something. What do you think?

Amendiel is shown in a photo with Chloe's mom. That has to be about 35-38 years before. It looks like the same actor though, but I thought the "celestial beings" all acquired their bodies upon arriving in Los Angeles, from someone who died right then.

I can't quite recall, but I think Chloe's mom thought Amenadiel looked familiar, and it wasn't just him recognizing her.

Is that look just Amendiel's thing, so that's what he picks? Is the universe being created in "all time", allowing Amenadiel to have been in his current body in the past? (and that's also how Chloe has been "put" on Lucifer's path?) Did the photo just show up right then?

Perhaps this is an oversight? Hard to believe as the writing has been excellent throughout the series, and has managed to navigate complex subjects with hints and ambiguity, so the story could move forward.

This photo and Chloe's mom recognizing Amenadiel, has me guessing.

Gave me chills
smiley-5333812 October 2021
I'm just getting into the show and this episode just blew me away! How they all came together and each character their role, the emotion, the music, the tension... it was perfect! I must have hit rewind 10 times! I've read on here that this is one of the best episodes of the whole show and I believe it. I just hope the rest of the series won't be too far behind!

Best Episode

The whole episode is so well done but the scene with "Unsteady" playing, Amenadiel blocking Chloe's door, Lucifer stumbling in, really sealed the deal. Best scene of the series.

Going To Hell To Save Chloe
vivianla13 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Turns out Chloe got injected with poison and now needs the antidote. The doctor and Maze dress up in scrubs and use the thing that doctors use for heart beeping to stop Lucifer's heart so he can go to hell to get the formula from the doctor.

In hell we watch the doctor and Lucifer go through scenarios created from their guilty conscience. The mother decides to go to hell too and starts unbuttoning her top for wires but Maze hilariously uses the EKG on her and she is out immediately.

The mother cannot separate from the fake Uriel created from Lucifer's guilty conscience. She convinces Lucifer that he had to kill Uriel to save them.

Lucifer is brought back to life with the EKG and he rushes to Chloe's where Amenadiel is guarding the door to not allow Chloe to be brought out of the room.

Chloe wakes up and asks to see Trixie.

We see Chloe driving to Lux and leaves a voice message for Lucifer, telling him she hasn't heard from him and she is coming to see him. Hide the strippers she jokes.

She goes to Lux and turns on the lights but everything is covered with sheets.

"All look who's back, you didn't die after all, that makes one of us"
ygwerin111 November 2022
God had sent Amenadiel to bless the Decker's, so that she could have a child this transpired to be Chloe Decker, the Goddess sees this reality as the way, of finally convincing Lucifer to take both her, and Amenadiel back home to heaven.

There had been a psycho plaguing Los Angeles who had been targeting individuals, and terrorising them by forcing them to mutilate themselves, to save another innocent human being.

The police finally tracked him down with Lucifer saving yet more victims, while Detective Decker chased and cornered the psycho, sadly he managed to stab her, with poison before he killed himself.

Chloe Decker, Lucifer and Dan have been trying to locate the antidote, and Chloe had asked them not to divulge to Ella Lopez that she was the next victim, while still needing her expertise to help on the case.

Chloe Decker has been injected with a poison designed specifically for her, and the only person who knows the antidote, is the psycho who is currently languishing in hell.

Lucifer called Amenadiel, the Goddess, Maze, and doctor Linda Martin, to formulate a plan to help Chloe. Unfortunately the Goddess thinks, that their plan is ludicrously dangerous, and refused point blank to waste her time, "trying to save a worthless human".

As part of the 'Plan' the relatively simple part was for Lucifer, to meet the psycho and persuade him to reveal the antidote, but regrettably no one had actually worked out how he was going to actually return.

Lucifer was certainly not expecting to be reunited with his deceased brother Uriel, nor to be trapped in his own personal hell loop, of being forced to reenact his murder of Uriel.

Surprisingly despite her protestations the Goddess decided that she wanted to help her son Lucifer after all, when she arrived she admitted to Lucifer what she had been trying to do all along, and decided that she wanted to stay with her son Uriel.
