Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Other mistake: We are shown several times the first person perspective of a paparazzi camera, with the HUD. From a diegetic point of view though, it is used in a way that lacks coherence. For instance, in the red carpet scene the photo count goes down by one every time the shutter clicks, while in the car scene it does not go down at all. And it really could not have been Josh's camera in the red carpet scene, because it photographed Chloe once he already escaped and from behind.

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The fake preacher runs away leaving all the money behind: in the overhead shot Lucifer says "I'm here till, well, the end of times actually" turning around past a guy (big hair, big sideburns, black and blue shirt) that he already passed in the shot before as he thanked the crowd. (00:03:20)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Lucifer walks down the stairs into 2 Vile's mansion; first person he comes across is carrying a glass, wearing a black T-shirt and grey undershirt sticking out. The guy is walking towards Lucifer as if he were going to use the stairs Lucifer is descending, but just vanishes in the following shot, only to reappear at the next cut, taking the stairs as it seemed bound to happen all along. (00:16:15)

Sammo

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lucifer talks to the killer in agony in the car wreck, blood streaks change on his face between shots (in particular, he has blood coming from the corner of his moith in the last shot, from the side, but he had none a moment before, in close-ups). (00:09:40)

Sammo

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As Dr. Martin opens the door to Lucifer at the end, she is leaning against the door with her left hand, but it is in a different position and with no hand on the doorframe in the matching reverse shots. (00:43:50)

Sammo

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Talking with her daughter at the end of the episode, Chloe stifles her laughter with her hand in front of her mouth. In the matching reaction shot her hand is still on her chest. It happens again twice. (00:40:30)

Sammo

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As the therapist fails to "keep that one in", Chloe in the foreground with Lucifer is looking at her puzzled, hand under her chin. Her hand is nowhere near her face in the following shot. (00:31:10)

Sammo

#TeamLucifer - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: In the scene in the warehouse, Chloe and Lucifer end up right below where Corazon is tied up. Then blood drips on her hand prompting her to look directly above her head. In the next shot Lucifer turns around and suddenly they're both meters away, looking at the contraption from a distance. (00:26:50)

St. Lucifer - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: When Chloe is getting dressed at the start of the episode, she is wearing a flesh colored bra underneath the bed covers that she has wrapped around her when she mentions her ex dumping her by text.

THGhost

Manly Whatnots - S1-E4

Other mistake: When Lucifer and Chloe are talking about the Player after-party, the same extra walks by twice (in the same direction without having enough time to double back). After Lucifer says "sex afterward" and it cuts back to Chloe the women is seen and then when Chloe walks away.

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

Everything's Okay - S4-E1

Question: Can somebody explain to me how in Season 4, it's stated that Chloe disappeared after seeing Lucifer's devil face. Apparently the cops rushed into the shootout scene with Cain and took her away, and she hasn't seen Lucifer since. What about in season 3 episode 25 Boo Normal when she worked a case with Lucifer and Ella. Ella confided in Chloe that she sees a ghost and Chloe believed her, and she said she's seen some crazy stuff herself lately. So what's up with her vanishing when she seen him.

Answer: Boo Normal and Once Upon a Time were going to be part of season 4, then the show got cancelled (before being picked up elsewhere). As such they were added on to the end of season three as "bonus" episodes, hence the continuity being off. But not really a mistake, just a quirk of broadcasting. Boo Normal was originally going to be between the episodes "High School Poppycock" and "Infernal Guinea Pig" in season 3 before being slated for season 4, presumably because aside from the point you've raised, it was fairly flexible, continuity-wise.
