Summary[]

"Lucifer and Chloe are tasked with solving the murder of a prominent restaurateur. When they meet his son, they suspect he played a part in the death.

Plot[]

When a prominent restaurateur named Javier is killed, Chloe and Lucifer investigate his murder. Lucifer becomes emotionally involved as he learns that Javier was a hard taskmaster, known to his staff as Pops, and is convinced that Junior, Pops' estranged son, had returned in order to kill his controlling, overbearing father.

Chloe's mother comes into town and tries to take Trixie to have her first audition, creating a row with Chloe. Trixie runs away to find Lucifer, who always cheers her up, but bumps into Maze in Lux instead. Maze pours the child a drink and the talk. Mazikeen makes a new friend in Trixie.

Amenadiel gives Malcolm his assignment in order to save his life, and Malcolm comes clean to Dan who he is after, blackmailing him in the process.

Lucifer has a chat with Junior, asking him how it feels to be finally free of his domineering father, but learns that Junior had wanted to prove himself to his father and did not kill him.

When Maze goes to see Dr. Linda Martin for the first time, she asks for advice on how to fit in.

Lucifer is invited to dinner by Penelope Decker and Chloe invites Dan along as a buffer. Dan turns up with chocolate cake for Trixie, but all are upset to learn that Lucifer has brought Junior along to cook the meal. Lucifer causes upset through the meal, telling Penelope that she upsets Chloe, but it does not mean Chloe wants to kill her. Dan takes Junior to the station to make a statement, telling Lucifer, "I wanted one reason to stick up for you. Just one."

Chloe and Lucifer talk about the case and go back to the restaurant, where the woman Pops was grooming to take over starts a grease fire. While saving Chloe from the burning restaurant, Lucifer is burned for the first time ever, much to his disgust. Chloe, however, has managed to save the evidence that will tie the guilty party to the crime.

Daniel goes back to Graham and tells him that Lucifer deserves everything he gets, but he is not prepared to let him be killed. Graham attacks Dan and ties him up, taking the gun. He also sees a text from Chloe on Dan's phone and responds with a break-up text.

Chloe turns up at the penthouse, later that evening, drunk, after having a chat with her mother and receiving the break -up text from Dan. She throws herself at Lucifer, but he rejects her advances, much to the surprise of both of them. He starts to talk to her about not everyone growing up becoming like their parents, but she falls asleep in his arms.

Trivia[]

  • The episode title is first said by one of the employees at the restaurant.
  • The restaurant is named Sol de Javier.
  • Lucifer wears the same blue "Kiss the Cook" apron later in Til Death Do Us Part, meaning it's either his or that it was Chloe's and that he stole it from her kitchen. Given that Maze wears a matching white version to make breakfast for Chloe in Deceptive Little Parasite, it's likely the latter.
  • Lucifer is shown tempting a woman with a fruit, the same he did in the garden of Eden with Eve.
