Continuity mistake: At the end of the kitchen scene, Dan turns to tell Chloe he is disappointed in her. When he does this, in the shot from behind Chloe looking at Dan, Chloe has her hand on the door frame at head height and is leaning against her hand. When the shot changes to behind Dan looking at Chloe her hand and head have moved instantly with no time to do so. (00:04:00)
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.
