They're Back, Aren't They? - S3-E1
Audio problem: When the criminal in the armoured truck tells Lucifer to get out, from the angle over the criminal's shoulder, his mouth isn't moving. (00:02:30)
They're Back, Aren't They? - S3-E1
Audio problem: When the cops draw their Glocks, they make a cocking sound. Glocks are striker fired, there are no safeties or hammers on the exterior to manually operate for the handgun to make a noise. (00:03:20)
Mr. and Mrs. Mazikeen Smith - S3-E3
Factual error: The therapist says to stop the bleeding, Maze will have to remove the bullet and stitch him up. Gunshot wounds are complicated. To remove the bullet one must first perform an X-ray to see where it is, and after the surgery is completed, especially for a gutshot, surgical drains need to be installed till the wound heals. It's a hollow space that will fill up with bile and nastiness and drains are needed to collect the fluid, or else it will just get infected. If only it were that simple. (00:26:30 - 00:27:00)
What Would Lucifer Do? - S3-E4
Other mistake: When Lucifer grabs Amenidiel's phone and is supposedly typing on it, he's holding it upside down. (00:06:25)
What Would Lucifer Do? - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Pierce starts to put his phone away, then the shot cuts to him still on it. He then actually puts it away and then again it is in his hands, and he puts it away again. (00:31:28)
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: The eyes Lucifer draws on The Sinnerman change at various times. Even later, when he darkens them out, they change as well.
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).
High School Poppycock - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: Lucifer is going through the blue 'Class of 3001' book, then puts down the green 'Class of 3001' book without ever lifting it up. (00:11:50)
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)
The Angel of San Bernardino - S3-E20
Other mistake: Lucifer's obsession with Bones is highlighted here when he confronts someone as a killer only to realise it's because he's an actor who played a killer in the Bones episode Intern in the Incinerator (a role Scott Rinker did play in real life). Kevin Alejandro (Dan) and Aimee Garcia (Ella) also played roles in Bones, which Lucifer never comments on. In fact so did Jeremiah Birkett (Lee Garner, "Mr. Said Out Bitch").
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
Continuity mistake: When Espinosa opens the waffle maker, initially he's holding it facing up, slightly away from him, then the shot cuts and he's holding it close to his body, facing outwards. (00:21:20)
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)
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)
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.
