| – Lucifer snapping at a clueless Eve | ||
"Super Bad Boyfriend" is the eighth episode of the fourth season of Lucifer.
Summary[]
Lucifer and Chloe investigate a teacher's murder. Meanwhile, Lucifer goes to extremes to convince Eve to dump him, and Amenadiel mentors a teen.
Plot[]
Investigating the death of High School teacher Sandra Baez, Chloe talks with Lucifer about the prophecy. Understanding his changes, he concludes the best action is to break up with Eve; but she refuses. Speaking to students Lexy Shaw and Nate Benedict, Nate's father was sleeping with Sandra after his divorce, but mutually broke up a week ago. Lucifer takes Eve to his sessions, which backfires. Then plays the "cliché bad husband" which also backfires. At Lux, Caleb Mayfield, a student needing Lucifer's favor, meets Amenadiel; Caleb wants out from selling drugs for Tahir, the dealer. Later, two officers arrive to arrest Caleb for murder, as the murder weapon was in Caleb's locker, with a building hostility until Dan arrives and orders a stand down. Ella informs Dan a cop may have told Tierning about Lucifer. Nate reveals Sandra found out they stole the SAT answers, so Lexy killed her with Caleb's golf club. Nate kept her bloody clothes, which is evidence. Released from custody, Amenadiel paid off Tahir and invites Caleb to a 1-on-1 game between friends. Lucifer later directly breaks up with Eve as he doesn't like who he is around her. After Caleb was shot dead by Tahir's men, the brothers raid Tahir's home and brutalize him. Amenadiel decides to raise his son in Heaven. When seeing Linda, Lucifer reveals he feels a tremendous amount of self-hatred. Meanwhile, Maze has trouble on the dating scene and when hanging out with Eve, a drunk Dan antagonizes Maze to punish him, but is instead escorted out.
Lucifer attends a session with Linda. He grumbles that God must be using Eve and Chloe to torment him, but admits he's just lying to himself. He accepts the truth that everything is his own fault. Linda tells him it's progress to admit this. However, Lucifer tells her that the real truth is much worse. Prompted Lucifer explains what he sees of himself, becoming increasingly emotional. "There is something rotten inside me. I find it near impossible to drown out the constant cacophony of voices telling me I am evil. I'm drowning, doctor. And I can't help asking WHY DO I HATE MYSELF SO MUCH?"

Trivia[]
- The episode's title is said by Lucifer.
- Once again Lucifer shows how bad he is at drawing (like in Infernal Guinea Pig or God Johnson).
- There is an inside joke during the awkward crime scene conversation between Dan, Ella and Chloe, the design of Ella's t-shirt has the phrase "This is Unbearable" with a picture of a bear covering its face as if in embarrassment.
- There are two blatant references in the scene where Chloe tells Lucifer about the prophecy, and Lucifer asks whether it could be something like:
- "Frogs falling from the sky", which is a reference to one of the biblical plagues.
- Or that "Winter is coming", which is an obvious reference to "Game of Thrones", whose final season was airing when Lucifer season 4 was released.
- It is possible that Lucifer easily believes the Prophecy because it gives him a reason to break up with Eve, which he wants to do anyway.
- As Lucifer doesn't lie, he never calls Eve his first "love" while talking about the Prophecy. He says "girlfriend".
- Chloe asks Lucifer if the Prophecy means that demons would come to Earth. Lucifer tells her no, but that's eventually what happens.
- Linda refers to Eve as the "first woman", but as Eve has said, Lilith was actually the first woman, created from the same clay and at the same time as Adam.
- Eve while talking to Maze also complains that Adam was always talking about his first wife Lilith, who was also Maze's mother.
- During the investigation Chloe and Lucifer frequently talk to students by themselves, without either a teacher or lawyer present for the student. If any of the students are a minor this would be a problem.
- The screen names for Lucifer and Eve for the game are MFNDevil and F1rstwoman.
- The game Lucifer and Eve play are Killer Instinct.
- Lucifer's jersey number is 1, while Eve's is 2 (and hers have an angry apple on it).
- Maze realizes she has no life/interest outside sex and bounty hunting.
- Mazikeen and Eve talk about the film Marley & Me. It's implied Lucifer loves the film, as Maze notes he got angry at her for laughing (likely because he found it to be a touching film).
- Eve's inability to think things through or understand them is shown to be VERY bad. Despite Lucifer telling her he wants to break up for the greater good, she doesn't listen; he tries obnoxious habits to repel her, but she copies them. Finally fed up with Eve, Lucifer snaps at her; just short of a full in scream.
