But this weeks case leads him to a breakthrough that could send the show off in a delicious direction.
I dont usually suffer from premature unfurling, he tells his date.
No, shes trained to deal with the trauma, she assures him.

Happily, this gives Lucifer the chance to bedevil (ha!)
Dan about his secret improv career, which Dan assures him is quite different from standup.

Ah, Lucifer.
May you never stop over-identifying with the case of the week in a dashingly self-absorbed way.
When he dismisses J.D.
as a jealous failure, Lucifer growls, How dare you.
Even better, he does it all while using a bizarre voice for the puppet.
It may be the weirdest scene this show has ever done.
Further, Bobby confesses that hedidsteal the jokes from J.D., which means J.D.
was the one making fun of the angry emailer.
The threat emails to Bobby stopped after J.D.
posted his video, which tells Chloe that the emailer realized that J.D.
was the original joke-teller.
In fact, the original joke that Bobby stole from J.D.
wasnt even in his sitcom; it was cut to keep it family friendly.
Thats because the joke was about a friends insecurity regarding his micropenis.
And if you think Chloe would be reluctant to tell Lucifer all of this, well, youre correct.
(He also pelts poor Dan with tomatoes he brought specifically for this purpose.)
Chloe allows all of it, hoping that the emailer will come over and thank Lucifer for the defense.
were both aspiring standups, and once he realized that it was J.D.
and not Bobby mocking him, it was all cool.
The only thing he had a problem with was a rich guy like Bobby punching down.
Then he drops the clue they need to solve the case: J.D.
said he was meeting with a warmup comedian named Sheila about a possible job.
So off they go to the Bobby Lowe set to arrest his warmup comedian for the murder of J.D.
In fact, everybody has the same jokes; its what you do with the material that matters.
Chloe distracts Sheila so Lucifer can knock her out.
Then he asks Dan for any intel he gathered on Lucifer.
In the creepiest way possible.
Theyre keeping everyone else out of it so they wont get hurt.
Youre very wise, Linda, he says.
In return, she tries shortening his name to Amen, but it doesnt take.
But Linda wants to talk about his wings, which grew back overnight.
