5 best moments from Lucifer season 5, part 1
A list of the best moments from Lucifer season 5 so far
Lucifer season 5, part 1 premiered on Netflix this Friday, and is it too soon to start talking about the best moments from the season? We don’t think so!
Especially because, if we’re being honest, it’s actually really, really hard to pick just five moments from what was, undoubtedly, the show’s best season yet. But that’s why we’re here, to make the hard decisions!
Luckily, there are more good moments coming in Lucifer season 5, part 2, which also consists of eight episodes like the first part of the season.
Here are the best moments from the new season 5, part 1 of Netflix’s Lucifer.
5 best moments from Lucifer season 5, part 1
1. Deckerstar consummates their relationship
Could the top spot really go to any other scene? We have only been waiting for Lucifer and Chloe to finally commit to each other, to take those steps, to be together completely, for approximately 84 years. But in Lucifer Season 5, part 1 “BluBallz” (pun intended), our favorite OTP finally, finally gets to have their moment.
It’s both an incredibly vulnerable moment, and a truly passionate one, the way only Lucifer can do. There’s, after all, so much behind this moment, including all the denials from Chloe, all the promises from Lucifer, and more importantly, a journey they took together, a journey that led them here, not to a moment of passion, but to a moment of pure love.
Excuse me, I need a moment, I just have a little something in my eye, like a tree or a branch or something …
2. “I choose to be vulnerable around you”
The importance of this moment, and what it means for Deckerstar going forward, cannot be overstated. It seems that, all this time, the vulnerability has been a choice Lucifer has been making, even if he hasn’t been aware of it, and the only way to respond to it for Chloe is to choose to be vulnerable too.
It sounds obvious and simple, but it’s anything but. Both Lucifer and Chloe have been hurt in the past in different and yet comparable ways. And both of them have found in each other the person that makes them think it’s okay to open up again, it’s okay to believe, it’s okay to love, it’s okay to try.
And that’s almost bigger than love – or at least just as important. You cannot have love without choice, after all.
3. Dad shows up
It would not be an understatement to describe this show as “an exploration of Lucifer’s daddy issues,” and yet we didn’t really think we’d get to see, you know, his actual dad show up, especially when you consider who his father is.
But show up dad finally did, and he did so in such a typical dad way that we couldn’t help but cheer. In fact, we don’t really know what season 5B has in store for us, but one thing seems certain …God’s children are in big, big trouble. That fight they were having? We’re pretty sure that wasn’t part of Dad’s plan for any of them.
Plus, considering that the first episode of 5B is called “Family Dinner,” we’re thinking there’s a big chance Dad has a lot to say to his kids. All of them.
4. Chloe figures out Michael
We’ve seen doppelganger storylines before, and they all suffer from one big problem: they require a character to ignore things they wouldn’t usually ignore for the sake of the plot. Except, of course, in Lucifer season 5.
Because Lucifer does the one thing TV rarely does: allow their smartest character to be as smart as she always has been. Chloe has Michael pegged in about 0.2 seconds, and though she gives him (or rather, Lucifer) the benefit of the doubt for a little bit, she isn’t really fooled by Michael’s admittedly good excuses.
So she shoots him. Not once, not twice, but four times. I mean, she did shoot Lucifer once to prove he was the devil, why not shoot his twin to prove he’s not Lucifer?
5. Ella confronts Pete
The emotionally charged moments when Ella figures out what Pete is up to, and later, when he realizes she knows, are both really good, but the scene later, at the precinct, when Ella gets to confront Pete, is the standout from this storyline, because it allows Ella the chance to be, not just react.
Be angry, be sad, be incredulous, and yet continue to push for the answers she needs, because that’s who Ella Lopez is. She won’t break down in front of this man that she convinced herself she needed to let into her heart, at least not till she knows her friend is safe.
And if later she lets out a tear or twenty, then that’s also okay. She’s absolutely earned it.
