Of course, that long-awaited moment created more complications because Chloe gained the ability to mojo Lucifer.
Why was it important to jump right into that reveal?
Would you feel you were just an object for somebody else?

I think that’s a real thing for her to contend with.
Was that a genuine concern in the writers' room this season?
JOE HENDERSON:I think on any show it’s always a concern; it’s the wholeMoonlightingcurse/caution.

How do we get them together but show that there’s still plenty of conflict between them?"
It’s like, how do you turn problems into opportunities?
One of the things that’s so great is Luciferishis own worst enemy.
How long have you known the real answer to why Chloe makes Lucifer vulnerable?
MODROVICH:I think we realized that really early on.
I think it was the beginning of the second season when we were really examining why he’s vulnerable.
A constant theme or truth of our world is, we have a choice.
Things are up to us and even angels have free will.
When we decided that, this is just another exploration of that theme.
That’s why angels self-actualize and have the powers they have, be they good or bad.
They are trying to tell them something that they need to learn.
One of the things we had talked about was, “Well, what was the difference?
The answer, as people will now see, is he started to care for her.
Chloe and Luciferfinallyhooked-up, which is a big moment for the show.
What did you do to see to it that felt earned?
MODROVICH:It really was no big deal, right?
[Laughs] Yeah, there was a lot of pressure in that moment.
We really wanted it to not be too easy.
It was a big seminal moment for us for sure and for the characters.
We talked ad nauseam about how to handle it.
And I think it turned out pretty good!
Also, we wanted it to be hot.
We wanted this to be just gloves off, you know?
Lucifer’s invulnerability and mojo returned in the finale.
What does that say about where Lucifer is at in the back-half of the finale?
And sort of become a child and start acting like what you did when you were younger.
I think the presence of God could have that effect.
With Lucifer, it’s always about taking one step forward but two steps back.
So yeah, he gets in his own way and that’s all I can say about that.
What does being worthy of love mean?
I don’t think we figured out if we’d be able to actually see it.
I was blown away by Lesley-Ann’s performance.
[Henderson sighs] Which moment in this first half of the season sticks out for both of you?
MODROVICH:For me, it is the end of episode 4.
I’m getting chills just thinking about it.
Her [standing] in the doorway facing her actual mother, it just kills me every time.
HENDERSON:For me, I’d say it’s the next episode, partially because I wrote it.
I think Lesley-Ann and Rachael play off each other so well and have such completely different energies.
Having her deal with that devastation of [episode 4] in 5, I thought Lesley-Ann was wonderful.
MODROVICH:Yeah, that was good, too.
HENDERSON:That would be smart.
[Laughs]
What can you tease about why Michael has this lazy arm?
