Lucifer Wiki

"BlueBallz" is the sixth episode of the fifth season of Lucifer.[1]

Summary[]

After a popular DJ is electrocuted on stage, Chloe searches for the killer while Lucifer tries to keep his jealousy over an ex-flame in check.

Plot[]

Lucifer and Chloe arrive at their latest crime scene: DJ Matt Pexxa who has been electrocuted by his BlueBallz headphones while performing “The Realness Lucifer Mix”. The situation between Chloe and Lucifer is clearly changed in that they unobtrusively hold hands upon exiting her car and keep stealing glances at one another. Ella instantly picks up on this, and Chloe is forced to quietly explain that although they had kissed, the two were interrupted by Ella’s call, and she doesn't want to discuss her sex life on the job. Chloe then points out to Lucifer that Pexxa’s surge protector had been cut, therefore Pexxa was murdered, and there are 500 drunken witnesses, they would not be getting back to the penthouse any time soon.

That same morning, Maze arrives at Linda’s after she missed their coffee date, Linda remarks that they’ve been awake all night with Charlie crying. Maze questions how she can prevent ending the same as her mother; alone. She scares everyone away, therefore cannot build a genuine connection.

Meanwhile, Lucifer is becoming jealous when Chloe reunites with the DJ, Jed Moore, an old flame, and her first serious relationship. He was the DJ from whom Pexxa borrowed the headphones. When Chloe tells Jed that she is single, Lucifer is confused and a bit hurt. He questions her over it, and she tells him that what they have is quite new and therefore, she doesn’t want to label it as anything so soon. Jed then interrupts and tells Chloe that he was meant to be the DJ on after Pexxa, therefore suspicions rise as to whether Jed was the intended victim.

After Lucifer talks with Dan about Jed and Chloe, Dan says he always felt Jed was a problem, that he tried to move back in on Chloe the moment Dan and she separated. He tells Lucifer to be wary of Jed. Lucifer asks for more details from Chloe, and she tells Lucifer that the relationship is in the past, and the two are over one another, just as Lucifer notes the foundation Jed had started was called Cherry Jane after the man's nickname for Chloe. They then question Raul Blanco, a man who has been threatening Jed; he is reluctant to talk, however. Raul explains that he is just trying to protect his business, and had no reason to kill anyone. Just as Lucifer suggests maybe Jed should be a suspect, the building behind them, housing Jed's studio, explodes. Chloe refuses to accept that Jed is committing the crimes to get close to her.

Chloe is able to pull prints from a gate attached to Jed’s studio, and find they are looking for a Belinda Roberts. They track her car to a nearby preserve, where they nearly step on by rattlesnakes. Belinda is furious that Lucifer scares off the snakes, and explains that she is trying to capture a recording of snake’s mating, given this is extremely rare. Belinda explains that she didn’t have anything to do with the murder, but that Jed owes her for samples of recordings he didn’t pay for.

Lucifer invites Jed to his penthouse in an effort to protect — and watch — him whilst Chloe works the case. The two talk, and Jed reveals that his deepest desire is to get back with Chloe. He further reveals that he screwed things up with Chloe and she broke up with him, which intrigues Lucifer who offers Jed a drink in exchange for the story, so he might avoid Jed's errors.

Meanwhile, Ella and Chloe investigate the sound recordings taken from Belinda, but then find a threat online from an anonymous IP which warns Jed that they won’t miss a third time. The two are distracted, momentarily as they begin talking about Lucifer and Chloe’s relationship, but then hear a strange noise on the recording that Ella recognizes; a hearing aid with a low battery, this narrows down the suspect pool to someone wearing a hearing aid. Maze appears, dressed in clothes matching Ella's and remarks that she is trying to be more like Ella.

S5E6 Chloe Incredible 2

Chloe talking Ron down

As Lucifer, Jed, Dan, and Amenadiel try to keep Charlie from crying — which proves a hard prospect — Chloe, Maze, Ella, and Linda arrive at Lux for a sting and try to track down the killer. They search for women wearing hearing aids, but have no luck. Chloe then asks Linda about having sex with Lucifer, startling her. Linda says sex is the least of her worries, that Lucifer is "unfathomably narcissistic," that he sabotages anything good that happens to him, and he is the oldest, most immature being in the universe. They are interrupted, however, when Jed arrives at Lux, having ditched Lucifer, and is then stalked and held at gunpoint by the killer. It is revealed that the killer is Ron, a hearing aid wearing husband of an obsessed fan who is trying to get revenge on Jed for sleeping with his wife. Chloe, drawing on her own desire to just be with the man she loves despite complications, is able to talk him down, and he is arrested. Jed thanks her for saving his life, and she says with self deprecating humor, she was just doing her job.

Elsewhere in Lux, Ella finally agrees to go out with the journalist, Pete, and talks with Maze about being genuine — even if this is scary. Maze refutes the notion, however, citing that her lack of a soul could cause irreparable harm.

Back at Linda's, after finally getting Charlie to sleep, Dan tells Lucifer to stop asking people for relationship advice and just listen to Chloe. He bids farewell to Amenadiel and Lucifer and leaves, but he receives a call, however, apparently from Lucifer asking for him to return, only to witness Lucifer’s Devil face through the window as he uses it to settle Charlie. As Dan flees in terror, it is revealed that Michael had made the call.

Later that; night, Lucifer is on his way to see Chloe when she arrives at the penthouse. They apologize to each other for their mutual foolish behavior, and say good night. But unable to part, the pair come together and at last consummate their relationship, calling what they have "incredible".

Trivia[]

  • The title of the episode is said by Ella, in response to which Lucifer says "Oh, you too?" hinting that Lucifer and Chloe were interrupted by being called to the case.
  • At episode's end, Chloe Decker finally ignores her phone, which has previously ruined her moments with Lucifer Morningstar. Ella had commented, "Do you always answer your phone?" at the start of the episode.
  • While Lucifer is a fan of sex, he loathes how related words are tossed around so freely; he particularly detests Jed's stage name "Karnal".
  • Lucifer is notably defensive of Dan to a minor degree, as he corrects Jed on his name without adding his nickname, showing Lucifer's grudging respect for Dan.
  • Lucifer actually confides in Dan that he doesn't feel threatened by Chloe's ex; he even politely states that her having had a child with Dan never brought even Dan into the realm of 'threat.'
  • Chloe and Lucifer have sex for the first time.
  • Dan finds out the truth about Lucifer.
  • Jed referring to the "will they won't they" tension that existed between himself and Chloe may be a self referential nod to the long running in-show tension about whether or not Lucifer and Chloe would end up as a couple as well as the writing problem of what to do once they are together and the tension is gone.
