Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Chloe is being debriefed by her ex about the crime scene. There's a close-up of the photographer who will be the key of the case, being physically pushed away by a policeman. The scene goes on with him in the background in many shots, all on his own, snapping away as if nothing happened. (00:08:55)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, the preacher is walking around with the donation mug. The first kid to put a few bucks in does it across two shots and has a very notable yellow hand-held device when he puts the money in that was not there in the first shot. (00:02:00)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Lucifer tosses the ninja chemist doll towards the door, and it lands on the rug in front of it. Nobody picks up the doll, but when Chloe shoves him off the premises, the doll has disappeared. (00:17:00 - 00:18:10)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The quantity of blood on the door changes between shots, incoherently, when Jimmy is hurting himself, smashing his head on it. (00:42:35)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Lucifer shows his devil face to the preacher at the start, the mascot behind Lucifer changes between shots. (00:03:00)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the interrogation room with Nick, more than once (for instance when Lucifer says at the beginning "I don't want to know about the case") when Jeremy Davies lifts his open hands and holds them up, they are held up at a different height between one shot and the reverse. (00:18:50)
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)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Immediately after the close-up on the poster of Demon Town with Penelope Decker, Lucifer holds the trophy. From behind it's evident that Chloe's healthy arm is down her side, but in the reverse shot she has her arms crossed. (00:17:30)
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)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Chloe asks Jimmy about Lucifer at the end of the episode, her good arm is down her side when seen from behind, or folded in the frontal views. (00:42:25)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Lucifer easily walks past the police tape and approaches Chloe and Dan. The same paparazzis appear behind him (mostly past the police car) and behind them, opposite ends of the road. (00:09:00)
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.
