Continuity mistake: When Maze says goodbye to Lucifer and takes off on her motorcycle, the cars around change. You can see 2 cars parked with a car next to it with its blinker on. Then there are 3 parked cars and the end one has its hatchback up. Then as she drives off, it's a van. In the next shot the van and hatchback are gone.
Continuity mistake: The squiggle that Lucifer draws over "Become God" on his checklist changes between shots.
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.
