Off The Record - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: The first half of the episode is based around the same time as early season 1, yet Reece is in the new precinct, which wasn't introduced until late season 2. (00:07:06)

The Sin Bin - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Chloe and Lucifer approach Maggie's car, it's parked next to a car that has pulled in forward (so the trunk is seen). But after they open the door, the car next to Maggie's car is now pulled in backwards (so the front is seen).

Let Pinhead Sing! - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: When Charlotte is in Linda's office getting therapy, Linda is shown drawing in her notebook next to a written description of Charlotte talking to a co-worker with bad breath, before Charlotte actually tells Linda the event. (00:16:50)

All Hands on Decker - S3-E22

Character mistake: Charlotte Richards says to Amenadiel that he and Pierce were "both former immortals who became mortal." Amenadiel never lost his immortality in any of the previous episodes, he just lost his powers. He can be killed by celestial objects like blades or other sharp objects. Pierce however did lose his mark because of Chloe's love, it is assumed, so he became mortal. (00:12:45)

Quintessential Deckerstar - S3-E23

Audio problem: Chloe enters the scene with her handgun drawn. She carries a Glock 19. Glocks are striker fired and have no exterior safeties to click or lower which would produce a sound, however when she draws and points her gun a click can be heard. (00:34:25)

A Devil of My Word - S3-E24

Continuity mistake: Lucifer says that Amenadiel has a crazy theory that explains a whole list of things, but then doesn't say what the theory is. Pierce says "And you believe that?" as though it made perfect sense. But there's at least half a sentence missing. (00:02:50)

Expire Erect - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Near the end, as Dan says "this is all on me", in a shot from behind her Maze is spinning her knife then stops, gripping it pointing downwards in her fist. Cut to a new angle and her hand is instantly turned over, with the knife sticking out sideways.

Orgy Pants to Work - S4-E6

Other mistake: When Julian is in custody, being interviewed by Chloe, a lawyer comes in and says a judge has released Julian on his own recognizance. Then Chloe asks what happened to the $2M bail and the lawyer says it's already been paid in full. It's one or the other, if he was released on his own recognizance, no bail would have to be paid. If the bail has been paid, he would be released and no need for a judge's order. Not to mention the fact that all of this takes place the same day he's brought to the station and hasn't had a bail hearing. He didn't even seem to have been processed, he was just being questioned.

Really Sad Devil Guy - S5-E1

Character mistake: Chloe, Maze, and Ellen are discussing a murder and the death of Vernon Gill who was killed when hit by a car after he was fleeing pursuit from Chloe and Maze. They were discussing Dirty Doug who came in last night and Maze says "he came in last night and Gill said he threatened him for taking credit for Lee's murder." How could Gill say anything when he was already dead from being hit by a car. Should be "he said Gill threatened him" not Gill said since Gill's dead, in hell. (00:30:55 - 00:32:00)

Really Sad Devil Guy - S5-E1

Deliberate mistake: Lee's old crew of three are shooting various caliber handguns at Chloe and Lee's sister. Chloe took cover behind a kitchen island. Kitchen islands are made of thin wood, the only piping in them is plastic and some brass/copper. All of those handgun calibers would have penetrated the kitchen island. (00:45:45 - 00:47:00)

Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer! - S5-E2

Character mistake: Chloe and Lucifer are sitting in Chloe's police cruiser staking out a suspect's car, and they get into a pursuit with the suspect in his Porsche. Chloe's police cruiser had no police lights or sirens blaring during the pursuit. Plus they are in a heavily populated metropolis; doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't have their lights on. It's standard police procedure to alert other drivers an emergency vehicle is on route, so they can yield/pull over and take care. (00:22:20 - 00:24:00)

BlueBallz - S5-E6

Plot hole: Lucifer and Amenadiel realise baby Charlie calms down and gets put to sleep when he sees Lucifer's devil face. Dan just left Amenadiel's house, and he gets a phone call with Lucifer's voice telling him to come back to the house. He turns around and sees through the window Lucifer's devil face. It is revealed that Lucifer's evil twin brother called Dan to expose Lucifer. Makes no sense how Michael knew that Charlie responds to Lucifer in that way. He would've been seen peeking through a window. (00:49:35 - 00:52:00)

Suggested correction: You essentially explained the plot. Michael had been watching them the whole time. In fact, when Michael calls Dan, Dan first responds with "hey, man, what's up?" because he saw that it was Lucifer calling him. One way for Michael to have Lucifer's phone is because he saw Lucifer throw it out the window earlier.

Our Mojo - S5-E7

Plot hole: Lucifer's evil brother Michael appears too Dan as he is praying upon Charlotte's grave from heaven. He tells Dan he can right all of his wrongs. His plan is to hurt Lucifer. It's stated that God sees all and hears all. "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good" (Proverbs 15:3). Doesn't make sense how Michael is able to travel from the Silver City to Earth to hurt Lucifer without Dad knowing or having any input, since Michael has a direct line to his Dad. (00:17:00 - 00:19:40)

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.
