Lucifer - Trip to Stabby Town

Discovering that his Mum (Tricia Helfer) has allowed humans to unearth Azrael’s blade by digging up his brother’s grave, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) enlists the help of Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt), Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), and even an unsuspecting Ella (Aimee Garcia) to find the grave robber while working with Chloe (Lauren German) to solve a rash of stabbings at a Yoga studio all caused by the bloodlust of the celestial weapon. “Trip to Stabby Town” is memorable mostly for Chloe’s jealousy of mistaking Lucifer’s time with Ella and for the family conversation to close the episode which reveals a bit of Mum’s plan and why Lucifer has no interest in leaving Earth for Heaven or Hell. Even her putting innocents in danger isn’t enough for Amenadiel to question Mum’s motives, perhaps leaving Lucifer alone in his role to protect the world from whatever devious plan his mother may come up with next.

Lucifer - My Little Monkey

“My Little Monkey” undercuts the emotion of both Chloe (Lauren German) reopening her father’s murder case and Linda (Rachael Harris) shutting out Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt while struggling to process the truth of Lucifer (Tom Ellis), with a goofy plot involving Lucifer douching-up to work alongside Dan (Kevin Alejandro). While humorous at times, this turns what could have been another extremely good episode into a more forgettable one.

Once Upon a Time - Heartless

With “Heartless” Once Upon a Time falls back on an old reliable (albeit with a twist). Threatening to expose Storybrooke to the destructive waters of the River of Lost Souls, Evil Queen‘s (Lana Parrilla) gives Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and David (Josh Dallas) just 12 hours to voluntarily turn over the one thing she craves more than in all the world – Snow White’s heart. Offering a feint hope which is dashed by the villain, the episode does allow for a flashback between David and Snow revealing they actually met far earlier than either remembered. As for the Queen’s revenge, it takes the usual course of a sleeping curse but with a Ladyhawke-like twist as in cursing the heart which they both share she may have finally found a way to keep Snow and Charming separated (at least for now).
