#dan Espinoza

[penelope-and-the-suitors]

in a better world, or perhaps just a well-written fanfic, Dan doesn’t die and Lucifer doesn’t go back to hell. Chloe and Lucifer get together and they get married and he becomes stepfather to Trixie. Lucifer purchases a shirt that says “I’m not the step-dad, I’m just the dad that stepped up.” He exclusively wears it around Dan, to Dan’s eternal chagrin.

Why is there not much appreciation or love for my boy, Dan Espinoza? Seriously, I think he's a great character, and he has put up with a lot of crap. He made a mistake in series one, but he's trying so hard to redeem himself, and he's been fantastic with Chloe and Trixie in their divorce.

I'm rooting for him and Charlotte.

Karaoke with the gang

Dan- I'm just ken

Chloe- power (little mix)

Ella- that's what makes you beautiful (one direction)

Maze- bisexual anthem (Domo Wilson)

Lucifer- dramatic performance of into the unknown

[penelope-and-the-suitors]

I’m obsessed with shows that are procedural police dramas with a subplot that revolves around the will they-won’t they romance between a pretty, strait-laced blonde detective and a police consultant with strange connections and claim to have supernatural gifts that they use to solve crimes, who is quippy and irreverent. The pretty detective is virtuous to a fault with a coworker with shockingly blue eyes who hates the police consultant with a burning passion, mostly because of the frequent supernatural claims and aforementioned irreverent quips, but their shared affection and respect for the blonde detective is the only thing they have in common. Am I talking about Lucifer or Psych?

Lucifer 5.11 Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam

*The musical episode*

Some random thoughts on each song.

Wicked Game

All the characters are going through pain at this point in the story. I like that the first opening number is about Lucifer and Chloe. Their love story is the beating heart of the show. Lucifer thinking he can't love but singing how much he wants to love and tell Chloe that negates what his mind thinks. Cinematography-wise I love it. The revolving camera around him playing the piano is perfect. Cross dissolves between Lucy and Chloe could have been super cheesy, but this was done really well.

Another One Bites the Dust

This is more of a fun one that's there for the cheeky humor of the show rather than the overall story.

The cinematography and choreography are once again top notch. The following scene of Lucifer talking to his dad, and God being cheeky (just like Lucifer) shows how they are similar.

Chloe also uses her fierce, protective side. Instead of being nervous and subservient to him, she tells it exactly like it is: tells God he was a bad father.

Every Breathe I Take

Helicopter parent in the case singing for half of it, Lucy singing about his overbearing yet neglectful father for the other half. This song shows how much parents and their parenting style effect us.

It leads to Lucifer trying to repair their relationship.

Bad to the Bone/No Scrubs

Maze is upset because she feels like she needs a soul to be a person - rejecting her demon side. Ella is dealing with her bad boy issues. Maze trying to force embrace her bad side by trying to get Ella to embrace hers. Talk about projecting issues.

Just The Two of Us

Amenadeil tells Linda that their son, while half angel, is still a normal human. He is disappointed but Linda is happy. The blocking showing their distance - emotionally. Linda starts singing, thinking her and Charlie will be going through this alone, and how they are both human. Amenadeil joins them and changes it to the three of us. This one song brought the family together. God also is watching and realizes how good of a father Amenadeil will be - the exact opposite of how he has been with his children.

In order to get to this sense of peace between them. Linda realizes that fathers should be there for their kid no matter what. (how true) and Amenadeil has a talk with Dan. Dan is having a hard time just learning who Lucy is, just meeting God, and finding out he slept with.

Hell

God's wife. He sings his own song as he's spiraling out of control. Afraid of God's vengeance and going to hell. While the song title is very straightforward it really shows the actors talent and the characters mindset. The lighting in this scene is superb.

Smile

Trixie sings this sad song about putting on a smile even though what you are feeling is the exact opposite. This shows how much Chloe is afraid of losing Lucifer but it also has another parent-child story. Trixie is aware of her mother's feelings, kids are observant.

I Dreamed A Dream

This is the last song and parallels the first of the episode. Lucifer's first song is about love and how he wants to love Chloe but blames his father for not being able to. This one is to his father about Chloe and his love for her. This is the first time God sings back. He has been an observer during all the musical numbers until here. He has been trying to repair his relationship with both Lucifer and Amenadeil during the nonmusical parts but now he is showing his inner heart in the song. And it leads to the a breakthrough. God telling Lucifer that he understands Lucifer. All the light he bears, how he knows Lucifer thinks God can fix him, but saying that he can't do that, he can't fix him.

And while they are both crying, hearts bared, that he, God, can't control his powers anymore.

This episode not only showcased the talent of the actors but really brought the heart in focus up front.

Lucifer is a show that is entirely about family and love and this episode embraces that theme. Especially the father-son relationship. Several characters are going through their own personal issues and the songs brought them out and the scenes in between helped them fix or at least attempt to fix these issues.

Lucifer always has pretty cinematography and the move to Netflix upped the ante, the move gave them the time and money to make the show better and this episode (and the noir one from earlier this season) really showcased it. From the storytelling, cinematography, to choreography, this episode brought it.
