The Would-Be Prince of Darkness - S1-E3

Plot hole: During the credits, Chloe said of the victim "coroner puts her time of death between 1 and 3am", and she does indeed ask Ty's obsessive fan / ex-gf where has she been during that timeframe. When she looks at the security tape, the timecode starts rolling at 22:18 and goes on "for 3 hours." That does not account for the time of the murder at all, she has no alibi for the second half of the suspected timeframe! Not to mention, she said she saw Ty kiss the victim. When could she possibly have seen that? It's unlikely that before 10pm Ty was already drunk and getting randy with the girl, with the house full of guests. (00:25:00)

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Chloe is being debriefed by her ex about the crime scene. There's a close-up of the photographer who will be the key of the case, being physically pushed away by a policeman. The scene goes on with him in the background in many shots, all on his own, snapping away as if nothing happened. (00:08:55)

Pilot - S1-E1

Other mistake: Throughout the episode, Lucifer's car has a California license plate - but that is, just one. He is missing the one in the front. In the following episode the car does have the regular 2 plates, and when he is pulled over at the beginning (and keeps being around cops all the time), nobody raises an eyebrow at the violation of the code.

#TeamLucifer - S1-E12

Character mistake: When trying to decipher what the letters from the dermal implants spell, Lucifer rearranges the letters and says "Hilii Fircus, it means 'children of the goat.'" However, the correct phrase was Filii Hircus, not Hilii Fircus. (00:13:27)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lucifer shows Chloe the handcuffs he freed himself from, in the first shot one of them is open and the other locked, while in the second, both cuffs have been unlocked. (00:20:00)

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, the preacher is walking around with the donation mug. The first kid to put a few bucks in does it across two shots and has a very notable yellow hand-held device when he puts the money in that was not there in the first shot. (00:02:00)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the scene in the school corridor with Lucifer sitting down and talking to Chloe's daughter, the same extras keep doing erratic back-and-forth for no reason (for instance the girl with a white jacket and pink shoulder bag) or just plain wrong (the kid with the horizontal striped maroon sweater who walks twice past Lucifer early in the convo). (00:24:50 - 00:25:50)

#TeamLucifer - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Chloe turns the picture of the cufflink upside down to Dan, her grip on the photo changes between shots. In one, she has one finger behind the picture, but in the front angle, all of them are at the front. (00:33:10)

Wingman - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lucifer asks Amenadiel for help locating his wings, he puts his hands on top of Amenadiel's shoulders. When the shot changes to looking at Amenadiel, Lucifer hands are lower and more on his chest than his shoulders. (00:09:20)

Pops - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Chloe says that Naomi showed up two days ago and was shouting. When she does she goes from holding the iPad in one hand to two and back again. (00:14:40)

Dan: I don't know whether to laugh or to shoot you.
Lucifer: Surprise me.

Devil Is as Devil Does - S4-E7

Pilot - S1-E1

Question: Lucifer is shot at by Jimmy Barnes 6 times but suffers no harm while Chloe is in the same room, but later episodes show he is not immortal when she is near. What's the deal?

Answer: As Cain theorises in a later episode, it's Chloe's love, not presence. This early on, Chloe had no strong feelings for Lucifer, so had no effect on his immortality. In fact even more recently he's back to being invulnerable around her after speculation that he chose to let himself be vulnerable. So while there's a degree of flexibility / retconning going on, it's all explained in-show.
