Shallow side note: Lucifer with glasses is verrrrry good look.

An ecstasy cook-turned-chemistry teacher?

Theres a funBreaking Badinversion.

As if that werent delightful enough, its set toLuciferby K-Pop group SHINee.

Just excellent work all around, show!

At the precinct, Brandons extremely willing to cooperate.

He says Sandra was tired of looking over her shoulder and recently returned the money she stole with interest.

Now, he just wants to see her killer brought to justice.

(Of course, this means Lucifer gets to enjoy Sandras original-recipe K Pop, too.)

So how did Sandra afford her nice house and gang repayments on her chemistry teachers salary?

to get to learn who sent the death threat, someone needs to go undercover in the neighborhood.

Theyre both clad in suburbia-approved sweaters when new neighbors Anya and Brian arrive to welcome them to the block.

Luke is charming and breezy at his undercover role, while Marky Mark grumpily guzzles wine.

Um, that just sounds like life in suburbia, TBH.

Hoping to draw out the note-leaver, Lucifer sets out to become the worst neighbor in the world.

Who better than the devil, after all?

Shallow side-note:Damn, Tom Ellis.

Again, thats some bad policing.

But when he examines Sandras death threat note, he swears he didnt write it.

But their bickering over food arrangements ends with Pierce accusing Lucifer of making empty promises and Lucifer storming out.

Her badge is clearly visible on her waistband, which isnt very undercover-ish.

Then they kiss, which has Chloe running to the window to watch.

(I feel ya, sister.)

A shoving match ended in Sandra hitting her head and dying.

I just didnt want you to leave me!

They cry and hug as Chloe slaps the bracelets on them, and Lucifers moved by their felonious love.

Charlotte doesnt remember Maze, who assures her that Charlotte was a monstrous bitch and they were mortal enemies.

Maze wants no part of that kind of normalcy and bounces, crush vanished.

The next day, Charlotte arrives at the precinct to apologize to Dan for their weird date.

When Chloe guesses that losing his brother is still affecting him, Pierce replies, Understatement of the millennia.

They…they did?

Im genuinely trying to findanychemistry here, but the closest this episode comes is with Sandras K Pop formula.

Pierce sighs, Fine, go get the chainsaw, and Lucifer delightedly scampers off.
