And frankly, were all better for it.
Happily, it works beautifully as a standalone character study for our favorite demon.
Chloe worries that Maze isnt up to the emotional challenge of a manipulative murderer, but Lucifers not concerned.

In Canada, Maze realizes that her couture is, in fact, no protection from the snowy elements.
Gee, does that sound like any lushly accented devils we know?
Its Maze in a blond wig, of course, and she cuffs him to the bar.
c’mon fight, she purrs.
Ooooh, 10 out of 10, would watch this spin-off.
Okay, 12 out of 10, would like this episode to never end.
Chloe gives him the squinty eyes as he walks away.
And yes, theyre still cuffed together; 15 out of 10, keep piling on these amazing cliches.
This necessitates a video call to Dr. Linda, interrupting a session with Lucifer.
When Maze asks for surgical advice, Linda is yet again forced to explain that shes notthatkind of doctor.
If youre Maze, how do you check for that?
By sticking your finger in the wound, of course.
The bullets still there, so Linda tells her to take it out and stitch it.
Lucifer, trying to unravel the mystery of Rivers appeal, declares, Youre notthathandsome.
Then she places a pillow under his head, fluffs it, and strokes the hair off his forehead.
When Rivers comes to, hes shirtless and surprised to see that Maze sewed a button onto his wound.
When Maze says thats not a problem for her because hello, soulless, he tells her shes wrong.
As he and Maze discuss the possibility that Herreras a dirty cop, Rivers slips away again.
Maze leaves to pursue her bounty while Dan calls in the Canadian authorities.
They track down the security guard who testified against Rivers, and he confirms the Herrera frame job.
Although the assassin is accompanied by three goons, Rivers assures Maze that hes got the situation under control.
Hes joined by Maze and Rivers, whos escaped from his cuffs again.
(Hes so good at that!)
And here you thought you didnt have a soul, Rivers says.
A million out of 10, yo let Ben Rivers turn up again in a future episode!
Maze returns to L.A. a little quieter and maybe even a little softer.
When Lucifer asks if shes all right, she tells him, Im exactly where I want to be.
Canaan, and Charlotte Richards.
And this mystery filer sprang for some high-end labels, too.
None of the store-bought, print-on Avery stickers here were talking color-printed blue-and-white jobbies.
