There were a lot of things wrong, but I enjoyed it. I guess I lowered my standards enough for it to be good, in a relative definition of good.
I enjoyed Dan Not Giving Up and being a badass. That was fun. I also enjoyed Ella actually managing to play Pierce, and her reaction after that. Chloe adamantly refusing to believe any of the supernatural was real was super frustrating, and her reaction at the end was both semi-authentic and semi-absurd. Maze & Linda were fantastic, as always. Lucifer was honestly refreshing in this episode. He wasn't all wibble-wobble-oh-no, but he didn't run off on his own to deal with everything, either (which me would have done early-season). That felt like a good character progression for him.
Sure, it was flawed (I mean, seriously, that episode could have done without the procedural; I like it, honestly, in most episodes, but that one was really hindered by it), but I feel like it dropped a lot of the things that were really wrong with season three and tied up a bunch of loose ends.
I'd love to see it picked up by another studio, but I doubt it. If it just sort of ends there, well, I'm not hugely disappointed. All of the things that were Driving Me Crazy got pulled together, so I'll deal with it. (Like, Chloe finally knows-knows, Cain is fucking dead, Amenadiel figured out the wing shit, Lucifer is both an angel and the Devil, and everybody knows where they stand.)
