'Lucifer' - Series 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Delilah

The murder of a famous popstar named Delilah in a drive-by shooting outside a nightclub in Los Angeles started the chain of events that led to the club's owner, Lucifer Morningstar, becoming a civilian consultant to the LAPD's homicide department. Delilah and Lucifer's friendship dated back several years from the time when Delilah had been a singer at Lux and just prior to her death Lucifer had been advising her to give up her drug habit. Sadly, the advice came too late and she was shot dead by her drug dealer as the pair left the club together. While Delilah was killed by the hail of bullets, Lucifer survived the incident unscathed thanks to the fact that he was the actual Devil and therefore immortal.

Chloe Decker was the homicide detective assigned to the case. She was initially repulsed by Lucifer's playboy actions and reputation but was eventually persuaded to work with him in order to bring the killer to justice.

Answer: Detective Chloe Decker

Shortly after they first met, Lucifer realised that he recognised Chloe Decker from when she had acted as a teenager in a film named 'Hot Tub High School'. Since the plot of that film had involved her appearing topless while climbing out of a hot tub, mentions of it (particularly by Lucifer) generally caused Chloe considerable annoyance and embarrassment.

It turned out that Chloe was the daughter of a B-movie sci-fi actress and a LAPD cop. Her decision to quit acting - and follow her father's career choice instead - came when he was shot and killed on duty shortly after her notorious 'Hot Tub High School' appearance.

Answer: Time slowing down

On 'Lucifer', each angel apparently had a gift or power that they could exert over the human population and Lucifer's was the power to draw out people's secret desires. This proved very handy in interrogations for obtaining the truth from murder suspects, but turned out to be utterly ineffective on his crime-fighting partner, Chloe Decker. Lucifer's elder brother Amenadiel had the power to control time, which meant that he could pop in, annoy Lucifer with his demands for his brother to return to hell and disappear again, all without the human characters being any the wiser.

Lucifer also occasionally took advantage of his brother's ability by calling him (via prayer) and making use of the "free time" when he arrived. In an early example from the show's second episode, he encouraged a suspect to shoot a man then used Amenadiel's arrival to pluck the bullet safely out of the air. The stunt also added to Chloe's confusion over Lucifer, as from her perspective Lucifer had managed to instantaneously move from one place to another.

Answer: Detective Douche

The moniker "Detective Douche" initially seemed to be an apt one for Detective Dan Espinoza. The first time viewers met the character he was trying to persuade Chloe Decker to treat Delilah's shooting as a cut-and-dried case that didn't need to be investigated that carefully. Over the course of the series he was also regularly seen prioritising his job over his daughter's needs, was revealed to have shot one of his colleagues during the "Palmetto Street" incident (albeit to save Chloe), and stole a gun from the evidence lockup that was later used to frame Lucifer for murder.

Despite this long list of transgressions, Dan redeemed himself somewhat in the season finale when he admitted his guilt and handed himself in for the theft of evidence in order to clear Lucifer's name.

Answer: Chloe shot him in the leg

Lucifer never tried to conceal his status as the devil from Chloe or any of his other co-workers - but for obvious reasons, none of them ever believed him when he talked about it. However, after several seemingly impossible incidents (such as surviving a hail of bullets and throwing a man through a glass wall) and a fleeting glimpse of Lucifer's "devil face" in a reflection, Chloe came close enough to believing him that when Lucifer asked her to shoot him to prove his invulnerability, she did just that!

Unfortunately for Lucifer, his angelic ability to be impervious to bullets failed at just the wrong moment and the bullet penetrated his upper leg. Needless to say, this left Chloe more convinced than ever that her partner was not really the actual devil!

Answer: His angel wings

Lucifer was not at all interested in the murder of an apparently "boring" warehouse security guard until he received the information that it was the shipping container that housed his severed angel wings that had been stolen. Then he became incredibly interested in both catching the killer and finding his missing wings! When questioned by his partner Chloe on what was in the container (and essentially why it was stored in a warehouse linked to dubious or criminal activity) he attempted to evade answering, but finally made the unexpected admission that it held his collection of... Russian dolls.

When the container was finally found, to Chloe's obvious surprise it did contain a chest full of Russian dolls. What she didn't see afterwards was Lucifer opening up a hidden section at the back of the container to discover that the wings that should have been hidden there were gone.

It later transpired that the theft of Lucifer's angel wings had been orchestrated by Amenadiel as part of one of his many schemes to convince his brother to return to hell.

Answer: Father Frank

The series one episode of 'Lucifer' entitled 'A Priest Walks Into a Bar' started with just that - a priest by the name of Father Frank visiting Lucifer at Lux to ask for one of his famous favours. Lucifer turned him down flat due to his apparent distrust and dislike of all priests in general because of their allegiance to God, the father who cast Lucifer down into hell. However, Lucifer and Chloe ended up helping Frank after all when a youth counsellor associated with Father Frank's protégé was murdered and Father Frank's life was threatened.

In order to hide Frank from the drug dealer who was out to kill him, Lucifer took him back to Lux and soon discovered that Frank shared his love of music and piano-playing skills. The pair then developed an unlikely friendship, which was abruptly ended when Frank was shot and killed while trying to protect his young protégé.

Answer: Detective Malcolm Graham

When Amenadiel discovered that Lucifer had been shot and injured by an 'earthly' bullet, he came up with a plan to return his brother to hell by having him murdered. His choice for the job was Detective Malcolm Graham - the detective who had been shot during the 'Palmetto Street incident' and left in a coma. When the doctors treating Malcolm turned off his life support equipment, he died and his soul went to hell for a brief period before Amenadiel used his powers to bring him back to life. Amenadiel then tasked Malcolm with murdering Lucifer and Malcolm - who was both a corrupt cop and desperate to avoid spending any more time in hell - was happy to oblige.

The incorrect options were all characters who appeared in later series of 'Lucifer'.

Answer: He has sex with her

One of Lucifer's key characteristics is his playboy lifestyle and his ability to attract most women (and men) into his bed. Dr. Linda Martin was the therapist of the celebrity singer Delilah and therefore ended up being interviewed by Lucifer and Chloe during their investigation into Delilah's murder in the series' first episode. Lucifer used his ability to draw out desires and Linda's attraction to him to get the confidential information she had on Delilah's lover and promised her sex in return. This initial arrangement then morphed into a longer-term one with her acting as his therapist instead.

Later in the series, Linda's guilt over the unethical nature of their arrangement leads her to request that he start paying her with money like all of her other clients and he is happy to agree (and can easily afford it as he is also extremely wealthy).

Answer: A demon used an angel wing feather to heal him

The killer in question was Detective Malcolm Graham, who was following Amenadiel's orders to kill Lucifer but also fancied taking out the angel who had effectively been blackmailing him. Amenadiel, Lucifer, Lucifer's demon bodyguard Mazikeen (or Maze) and Chloe had all tracked Malcolm down to a particular warehouse, but it turned into a trap for Amenadiel when Malcolm stabbed him with a hell-forged blade - one of the few things able to kill or injure an angel. Maze then gave up the pursuit of Malcolm in order to carry the injured Amenadiel back to Lux and use a feather she had saved from Lucifer's angel wings to heal him.

Malcolm then escaped from Lucifer and Chloe and kidnapped Chloe's daughter in order to get hold of the cash he needed to flee the country. At the exchange point, Lucifer tried to talk Malcolm down but was shot in the stomach because Chloe's presence still rendered him vulnerable to earthly weapons. Lucifer's dying words were a plea to his father that he would do anything for him if he protected Chloe in return; God's response was to show Lucifer that a prisoner had escaped hell (with the implication that they needed to be returned) and bring him back to life just in time to save Chloe himself.
