Oh this episode is…
trying.
Chloe tells everyone
that she’s about to get married to Pierce. Ella is all jumping all over this
because it’s time to plan a bachelorette party.
While Pierce is
somewhat overwhelming Chloe with all the wedding planning - it doesn’t help
that they set a wedding date of 3 weeks from now which isn’t a whole lot of
time. Chloe resolves this planning by making… a wedding murder board.
Uh-huh, that’s probably
a super bad omen. Pierce suggests she take some of her leave to actually get
some planning done
Which vexes Lucifer.
He’s all upset about the wedding but Amenadiel is still onside deciding that
it’s god’s plan. He suggests, again, that Lucifer tell Chloe how he feels. Nope
he’s not doing that, instead he’s going to get into her head to try and
understand why she made this decision
This means while
Chloe is on leave he is going to to step into her shoes and pretend to be her.
And because Chloe has a Lucifer, he decides he’s going to have one as well -
and makes Dan take on the role
And ye gods why Dan
goes along with this. So we have some truly painful scenes of Dan trying to be
Lucifer without the powers and ye gods no. While Lucifer tries to be Chloe with
actual deductive reasoning and restraint and still managing to be immensely
annoying
We do have a decent
moment of Dan calling out Lucifer on how little he actually knows Chloe - he
focuses on her as the consummate professional, which she certainly is. But
she’s more than just a job as well. I do hope this develops a little further
and we see Lucifer involved in Chloe’s life more than being a constant
irritant.
The case itself has
some minor gay characters - one dead and the other a murderer. So… yeah that’s
a relationship
And Lucifer seems to
gain some insight into Chloe - that she wants a partner she can rely on, who is
stable; who isn’t Lucifer basically.
Meanwhile Maze visits
Pierce who tells her he doesn’t want to die any more because he loves Chloe.
She’s not happy and is determined to see the plan through - Chloe loves Pierce
and he loses his mark and she murders him. Oh yes, and he’s got himself a fake
mark to fool her too
She decides to get
herself involved in Chloe’s bachelor party to make sure it all goes super
smooth without any drama that could possibly jeopardize the wedding. So while
Amenadiel advises Charlotte to “bring plenty of singles” to the party Maze is
organising, it turns out to be very wholesome, very sweet and very very very
very very boring. Linda, Charlotte and Ella are duly horrified (and Linda
assumes Maze is doing this to torture them). Linda and Maze definitely get into
it and risk having a fight which would end very very very badly for Linda.
Charlotte “rescues”
the party by bringing a party bus and a lot of hot guys, because she is working
with Amenadiel to sabotage Chloe’s wedding. And when they’re all drunk and
partying she sits down with Chloe to plant a whole lot of land mines about the
coming wedding
The whole party falls
apart into lots of arguments, Maze realising Pierce got a fake tattoo (and she
goes to murder him - but he’s looking after Trixie which makes for a good human
shield. No matter what else, Maze won’t hurt Trixie).
Chloe drives off
alone to have a heart to heart with the bus driver about true love and she
voices her won doubts: she’s marrying Pierce so quickly and suddenly because
she wants to be more impetuous and fun loving. But she doesn’t say she’s
marrying Pierce because of him...
Which is why Chloe
calls off the wedding
While Dan and
Charlotte are apparently all in for their relationship
Well that storyline
was…. Short. I expected it to go on a bit longer than it has. Now we have
Pierce the loose cannon, Maze the loose cannon and Lucifer back to square one
of not telling Chloe the truth: about the supernatural or his feelings.
