This is the first review that I write for this show.
This episode doesn't advance the general plot but has some special moments.
First of all, because of the guest stars : Patrick Fabian from Better Call Saul and John Billingsley that I know from "The Man from Earth". It's a very smart choice of actors, the roles they play are also well-developped and Patrick Fabian adds a lot of depth in the show.
Secondly, there are two scenes that truly add something to the serie : The first one is visual and it's the face reveal of Lucifer. Visual effect team made a real improvement, I found the former version of his face less convincing, but this time I was truly scared and amazed by the result and it was efficiently presented. The second one is more conceptual, and it's when Lucifer explains the nature of hell. The serie dares a lot to dig on some concepts, that has always been one of the strong point of the serie but this time it has a more philosophical meaning than usual.
Finally, the twists are particularly amazing, the first one being the character played by Patrick Fabian being the husband of Linda, The second one being the very dark ending that reminds me of an episode of Black Mirror
There are still a lot of funny moments but I was surprised because of the far more darker tone of the episode compared to the others until now.
This episode proves that Lucifer can create very good "standalone" episodes. I hope that they continue with this constant quality.
