I didnt know that they could grow back.

Are wings like body hair?

Lucifer strolls into the LAPD, disappointed that nobody noticed his two-day absence.

So he drags her to the spot in the desert where he woke up.

She remains unconvinced until she discovers the human hand poking out of the sand.

As shes collecting evidence, Ella bubbles over with excitement about their new boss, Lt. Marcus Pierce.

Okay, back to it.

Then Chloe gets flustered when Marcus asks if shes Lucifers partner.

Lets assume shes hypnotized by the onetime Clark Kents motorcycle helmet.

Because I watched this episode twice, and Im still not sure Im there.

Now we catch up with Amenadiel, who tracks down Lucifer at the LAPD.

Lucifer thinks its about his own well-being, but actually Amenadiels concerned about what happened to their mom.

Amenadiel takes the news about their motherhard, but Lucifers too caught up in his own drama to notice.

Lucifer returns Amenadiels necklace, and we learn that Amenadiel got neither his powers nor his wings back.

Lucifer comes close to admitting to his own feathery misfortune, but he holds it back.

Then he sits Chloe down to come clean about his real identity.

But no matter how hard he tries, or how gassy he looks, his face stays human.

Dont get me wrong, hes divinely beautiful, but his face stays his face.

Chloe leaves in near tears at his game-playing, leaving Lucifer to murmur, I really am the devil.

that they catch Snatched by hiring them for a sting kidnapping.

Marcus suggests they use the eminently forgettable and expendable Dan as the victim.

to Dan since the beach.

Dan is not grateful.

In their panic, they burble that their partner Sam was the one who kidnapped him.

(It turns out that Remedy is the name of a scantily clad masseuse.)

A crime scene photo puts him next to a van with the tire that squished poor Leo.

Its enough to send a wild-eyed Lucifer to kick down Sams door.

he booms as Sam cowers on the floor.

Sam snivels and apologizes for leaving both Lucifer and Steve in the desert.

This freaked out Sam so much that he ran.

As they talk, Sam is escorted past her desk by two dark-suited bruisers.

Lucifer busts out his fresh set of wings and complains that God took his demon face, as well.

Now, isnt that divine?
