This episode opens up with a robbery in a jewelry store which is promptly interrupted by Lucifer, who points out that the thieves are stealing conflict diamonds. This is supposed to be funny but given how these conflict diamonds procured and what they fuel, I'm far from amused. Lucifer has Amenadiel acting as his side kick because together they have determined to hunt down their mother. Lucifer questions what the thief wants and the thief replies that he wants freedom. Lucifer assumes that the thief is his mother but the thief says that he wanted freedom from death. Amenadiel freezes time and declares the thief isn't their mother and adds that they have to find her. Amenadiel is certain that Momma Morningstar definitely needs a body and Lucifer is equally certain that their mother is in L.A. Amenadiel storms out and before Lucifer leaves, he makes the thief naked, ties his shoelaces together and puts a tiara on his head.
It's time for Lucifer to have some counselling where he announces that his mother is going to kill him. This surprises Dr. Martin who questions why his mother would do this. Lucifer claims that the big bang was created by to entities falling in love and having sex. These same entities then built heaven which became their home and had angles. Can you just picture the white picket fence? Lucifer says that his mother was great in the beginning but things changed when his father started working on humanity. Both his parents grew cold and distant and that his father tossed him out when he acted up. Everyone knows that snarky rebelling kids are a pain in the ass. Apparently, Lucifer's mother stood there and let it happen and so, when his mother was tossed out a few years later and placed in a cell in hell, Lucifer was determined to do for his mother what she did for him - nothing.
Chloe and Lucifer are walking down the street and she is not feeling his smarmyness. Chloe doesn't understand why exactly it is that Lucifer was shot and recovered and so has decided to test Lucifer's blood. Lucifer asks for help on his woman hunt. They arrive at a crime scene in which a dead woman has metal horns protruding from her head. Chloe explains that the woman's name was Gillian Taylor and she was a stand in for an actress. Lucifer claims that Gillian is dead because of him but the ME declares that the horns were added post mortem and that the woman was strangled and killed somewhere else. Chloe turns and see Dan (who is not dead) talking to cop. This is a shock to her and Lucifer. Yep, Dan has been reinstated because the department wanted to push it all under the rug. He has however been demoted and assigned to assist on cases. Look we all know about the blue wall and how corrupt police forces can be but this is ridiculous. Chloe assigns Dan to interview crew members and see if the deceased had any enemies.
Lucifer introduces himself to the new ME and she hugs him. Lucifer is shocked given that she is wearing a cruxifix. The ME claims that the devil got a bad rap and all he really did was rebel against his father.
Lucifer and Chloe head to Gillian's place and her landlord Roberta says that she saw Gillian as a daughter and that she blames herself. Okay we gotta hit the pause button here. The moment I saw Rusty Schwimmer I knew that she was the murderer. You cannot simply cast a well known actress as a throw away character and expect the audience to buy it. It seems that Roberta got Gillian that job and she believes that Amy did this. Roberta calls Amy a bad influence and talks about Amy's abuse of cocaine. Lucifer of course picks up on the fact that Amy died and came back to life due to her overdose which makes her suspicious to him. Chloe finds a pile of money in the apartment and wonders if Gillian was as innocent as she seems. Outside, Lucifer announces that his mother is the killer and that his mother's soul is inside Amy. When Chloe says that Lucifer is making no sense, he asserts that she doesn't believe him and suggests that she test his blood.
Amenadiel is at the bar and Lucifer comes downstairs and join him. Lucifer tells him that Maze always turns up eventually, unless of course Amenadiel scared her away for good. Amenadiel counters that Maze told both of them to shove it. Amenadiel wonders if Maze helped their mother escape and Lucifer says no and that he found their mother. Lucifer reveals that Chloe is going to test his blood and Amenadiel makes it clear that humans shouldn't have proof of divinity. Amenadiel tasks Lucifer with dealing with their mother while he deals with this mess.
