So thrilled to be able to highlight @JeremiahBirkett and his incredible work! He was so good season 2, we had no choice to keep bringing him back! And finally give him an episode to show off how damn great he is!
— Lucifer Writers Room (@LUCIFERwriters) August 21, 2020
Lee is named after @LeeGarbett, though we had to change the last name for clearance purposes.
— Lucifer Writers Room (@LUCIFERwriters) August 21, 2020
That’s gotta hurt! Poor @JeremiahBirkett !! #LuciferSeason5 #michaelisadick 😈❤️

— Jen Graham Imada (@JenG1221) August 21, 2020
We had the in for this episode ever since the beginning of season 4 — Lee dies, and #Lucifer and Chloe work the crime from both sides. The fun was exploring how long we could keep our leads apart and yet feel together.

We really wanted to contrast the beauty of the LA Lucifer misses so much, and the tragedy of where he really is. And @CoSAVFX absolutely killed this transition

This back and forth of 'safe where you stored it' was a pitch from @MikeCosta, which we then joked around about for hours in the room.

— Jen Graham Imada (@JenG1221) August 21, 2020
I THINK that idea was from @Ildymojo — we'd been talking about using his character for a bit (hence the season 4 reference), but she brought in the twin angle https://t.co/XJQkvx3VXH
— Lucifer Writers Room (@LUCIFERwriters) August 21, 2020
Love the bromance that's developed between Amenadiel and Dan over the seasons, and getting to build a connection between them over fatherhood.

I feel like I'm not tweeting enough. Send some Q's my way!

Lucifer whistling the theme song. Doesn’t get any more meta than that. @tomellis17 ‘s idea. #LuciferNetflix @LUCIFERwriters
— Jason Ning (@jkning) August 21, 2020
It was Tom’s idea to whistle Crime Solving Devil!! @tomellis17 #LuciferSeason5 #michaelisadick 😈❤️

We’re toward the end of the first episode right now and I wasn’t much involved in this episode so I don’t have a lot to say about it…
— Mike Costa (@MikeCosta) August 21, 2020
…except for the fact that the idea of an episode taking place in Hell was inspired by my brief clinical death from anaphalaxis after the writers pranked me by slipping shellfish into my lunch, and my subsequent revival by the heroic veterinarian they dumped my body with.
— Mike Costa (@MikeCosta) August 21, 2020
When I got back to the office I had to explain “why it took so long.” I explained that I want to a black place, full of anguish and regret. “That’s the episode!” They yelled. Felt good to contribute! #LuciFact
— Mike Costa (@MikeCosta) August 21, 2020
I was taunted by pianos as a child. I hate them. Peace out! #LuciferNetflix @LUCIFERwriters
— Jason Ning (@jkning) August 21, 2020
For me (@Henderson_Joe) — the final scene of 505. For @MikeCosta — the Diablo scene from the show. For @chris_rafferty — the last five of the midseason finale. @JenG1221 — the last scene of 506. 😈😈😈😈 https://t.co/UtYdho8fa0

— Ildy Modrovich (@Ildymojo) August 21, 2020
For awhile, whenever we referred to our main demon character in season 4, we called him "Blaze", because we didn't have a name yet. Always stuck with us, so when Diablo started bubbling up, we embraced it… https://t.co/3aIMhGsAbT

And the last scene ♥️♥️♥️ we knew obviously it was going to be THE night. But when I thought of putting in Chloe’s phone ringing 📞 I was so excited to torture you guys! Then her tossing it aside, how totally satisfying, right?? Hope you didn’t hate it too much 😈 #LuciferSeason5
