The Good, the Bad, and the Crispy - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Lucifer is sending his mum to her new world, he is standing for the whole scene. They show a shot of Charlotte collapsed on the beach, and in the same shot, you see Lucifer on his knees in the sand. The very next shot, he is standing again. You only ever see him fallen on his knees when time starts back up again and the detectives realise where they are, which is a bit later. (00:37:25)

My Little Monkey - S2-E7

Plot hole: There is a rather confusing revelation when Chloe is shown the recording Joe Fields made for his daughter to see in the event that he were to die. In the recording, Fields tells his daughter that he did not kill the cop (Chloe's father). Chloe then notices that this is true because based on the timestamp on a sign in the background of the recording, he made the video 3 minutes before her father was killed. But this would be impossible because at that point the cop in question was still alive.

Suggested correction: That was the whole point of the episode. Joe Fields never killed Chloe's dad (officer Decker). Fields was innocent and took the fall for his murder. The time on the sign showed that Fields was too far away to have killed her dad. Her dad was in fact assassinated (arranged by Perry Smith) and not killed in a robbery attempt as previously believed.

But why would he even make a tape saying he didn't kill the cop if it hadn't even happened yet? Makes no sense. Did he go back in time?

I think you should rewatch the episode. He already agreed to take the fall for the murder. He knew the murder was going to happen. He made the tape for his daughter before he went to prison (and possibly made it before the murder as to further prove his innocent). The tape was to be given to his daughter after he died so that it wouldn't affect the deal he made.

Bishop73

They never made the connection that he knew the murder was going to happen, instead they went on a wild goose chase instead of going bit by bit.

But then as Bishop is saying, Joe Fields knew that the hit was going to go down. He made the video declaring his innocence so his daughter would eventually get the tape. Whether he knew that he would be exonerated is another matter. But the point remains the same. He knew that the cop was going to be killed and simply prepared for it. No mistake.

Goodbye, Lucifer - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: When Maze says goodbye to Lucifer and takes off on her motorcycle, the cars around change. You can see 2 cars parked with a car next to it with its blinker on. Then there are 3 parked cars and the end one has its hatchback up. Then as she drives off, it's a van. In the next shot the van and hatchback are gone.

#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)

A Good Day to Die - S2-E13

Lucifer: Dearie me, these are atrocious. What self-respecting artist would actually display these?
Dan Espinoza: Dave Maddox isn't a real artist.
Lucifer: To say the least.
Dan: All of this is just a front. You see, criminals like Maddox, they use art sales to cover up money transfers. They can demand any price for a piece of art, and in return provide whatever it is their clients really want.
Lucifer: Can he provide an eye bath? I'll need one after this.

Devil Is as Devil Does - S4-E7

Trivia: When Eve is looking at the wanted posters, some of the names on the posters are "Anita Brown", "Eddie Beasley", and "John Ailetcher." Beasley was a prop assistant, Brown was a set costumer, and Ailetcher was a production sound mixer on "Lucifer."

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.
