Plot[]
Linda writes a "diary", which we later discover is her own "kind-of-bible". She tries to help Lucifer with the problem of needing to care about people as he will become god. Ella talks with Lucifer about her thoughts about "something", but she doesn't tell him what it is because she thinks "it might make her sound a bit kooks". Lucifer asks Ella to search in the database for "Jimmy Barnes", but he finds out that he's dead. Lucifer tells Chloe that he wants to help Jimmy, because he thinks he needs to care about every person to be god. Chloe asks Lucifer to go to hell with him, but he refuses, and finds out that Chloe has been using Amenadiel's necklace to gain super strength. She tries to convince him to bring her to hell, and at the end he agrees. Dan returns to earth, but doesn't respect their deal and tries to warn Lucifer about Rory. He then finds out that he has returned as a ghost, and only celestials can see and hear him. He stays with Aurora as she awaits Lucifer's return in the penthouse. Chloe has arrived to hell, and finds out how things "work" there. Amenadiel starts working with the police, and gets "observed and trained" by the Detective Harris. Maze watches from far away to find ways to shame Amenadiel, and has a conversation with Ella where they talk about Sonya Harris, Amenadiel's training officer, and how she's a real hard-ass person. In hell, the Deckerstar team finds Jimmy's door, and walk in to a cartoon-y world. They walk in on Jimmy's wedding in the cartoon-y loop, and see his version of "Lucifer", which the Devil doesn't really "like", he hates it. Amenadiel and Sonya talk about his sign-up for the job, until they get a case of vandalism. Chloe and Lucifer find out that they're stuck in Jimmy's Loop, no matter how hard he tries to escape from it. In the living world, Amenadiel has to put up with Maze "help", that doesn't really work and he finds himself disagreeing with detective Harris. Fortunately, she doesn't bring Maze to prison, but to a women shelter. Meanwhile, Lucifer and Chloe stop "Loop Lucifer" from ridiculing Jimmy, and after a cartoon style fight Lucifer makes Jimmy's loop go deep to the "real source". Aurora makes fun of Dan, and she shows him her bladed wings. Dan tries to speak heart to heart with her, but the only thing she wants is to know how Dan almost killed Lucifer. In the infernal loop, Lucifer and Chloe find out about Jimmy's band and his real hellish memories. The devil finds out that what he really desire is that the "girl" that appears in his loop will stay, and Lucifer tells him to go after her then. The Deckerstar team finds out that Jimmy was left by his mother, hence his "fears" of the girl leaving. After a really heart warming conversation between Lucifer and a young Jimmy, Chloe and Lucifer find the door and exit Jimmy's loop. Lucifer understand that if he can care about the man who shot her best friend (see Lucifer Morningstar) he can love any human. But when he takes Chloe to see Dan, he discovers he's not there anymore. On earth, Amenadiel discusses with Maze, and she tells him that she did this all for their friendship. Amenadiel tries to explain to her that he appreciate it, but that the job is also very important. Lucifer finds Dan in his attic, where Rory attacks him. Lucifer doesn't know however who Rory is.

Trivia[]
- Linda's book is called Sympathy for the Devil, a reference to the Rolling Stones song of the same name.
- This is the final episode to feature Lucifer's full Devil Face.
- Thanks to the frog, Ella is starting to question the celestial.
- Dan is freed from Hell by Rory, but he remains trapped on Earth as a ghost.
- Bones is referenced once again after being a minor plot point in "The Angel of San Bernardino." Lucifer mentions that it got canceled, calling the choice to do so a mistake.
- The cartoons kid Jimmy is watching in hell is The Wacky Races, Yogi Bear and Top Cat; basically anything Hanna-Barbara.
- If someone is mentally broken, their hell loop is unstable; leaving Lucifer little control until he mends the soul's trauma enough.
- The joke about Lucifer's chin as a cartoon was actually requested by Tom Ellis.
- While not stated, Lucifer empathizes with Jimmy because of the pain he felt towards Goddess; though unlike Jimmy's mother, Goddess more than made up for her and Lucifer's friction.
- To Lucifer's surprise, the cartoon reality part of Jimmy's hell loop leaves him without proper anatomy below the waist, turns his whiskey into apple juice and censors his swears.
- This is possibly due to the fact that Jimmy watches cartoons as a child so from that fact, anything happens through the cartoon reality of his hell loop is kid friendly.
- It's rather odd that the demons in the loop don't recognize Lucifer in the cartoon version; given the one playing Jimmy's version of Lucifer rudely walked over Lucifer. Similar to how one was playing Uriel in A Good Day to Die and kept Lucifer in torment until Goddess saves him.
- When Lucifer and Chloe are in the 80s part of Jimmy's hell loop, there's a cinema in the background which seems to be presenting Althea: Queen of Qwarks. That's a movie where Penelope Decker stars in.
- Rory tells Lucifer that she is his daughter, a confusing statement as Lucifer didn't become human like Amenadiel at any point.
- This episode refers to Fred Flintstone's catchphrase: Yabba dabba do. And me is Lucifer.
- Lucifer says the title of the episode right after Jimmy's Hell loop changes from cartoon into live action, as Lucifer immediately has to check that his "little devil" is back.
- The victim is played out the same as the pilot episode due to:
- Jimmy Barnes is at the wedding.
- The demon interrupts the wedding saying Lucifer's exact same lines from that episode.
- This episode takes place around July 2020
- Some fans enjoyed the animated part of the episode so much that they hoped for a cartoon series of Lucifer and Chloe helping souls in hell.
