Tonight at 8p on Fox, it is Chloe’s (Lauren German) birthday on Lucifer and someone got her a cake full of male strippers. Who the gift giver is will surprise you.
As she is celebrating her birthday at the police station, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) gets a phone call that his wife Candy (Lindsey Gort) has gone missing. Lopez (Aimee Garcia) walks in on him when he gets the news, and convinces him that they should go to Vegas to find her. When they get there, they discover a dead body at her place but it is not her. Now they are loose in Las Vegas, trying to find his wife. How much trouble can the devil get in to in Sin City, you want to tune in to find out.
Meanwhile, Chloe is mad at Lucifer for ditching her on her special day, so she crashes his place with Linda (Rachael Harris). They throw a party without him, and have more fun than two mortals should! How safe are they? Not that safe after they find his safe. What’s inside? I cannot tell you. But it is moment you do not want to miss.
Tonight, you get to see a different side of everyone and I hope we see them like this more often. Oh, did I mention we see Lucifer lead a Vegas lounge act with Lopez as one of his showgirls. It is as fantastic as you expect it to be.
Then at 9p on CBS, Randy (Katey Sagal) and Franco (Jermaine Fowler) get into a fight over her job on Superior Donuts.
Sweatpants (Rell Battle) comes in to Superior Donuts with a viral video of a cop that brutally arrested some of their friends. The officer turns out to be Randy and now that is going to make things difficult for everyone at the donut shop. She tries to explain what happened, but Franco isn’t having it. Meanwhile, Arthur (Judd Hirsch) refuses to hear it because he has known Randy since she was a kid and he does not believe that she is that type of cop.
In fact, the only solution for Franco and Arthur is to follow her on her beat. While they are tailing her, she responds to a robbery and gets shot. Will this change Franco’s view of her? Better yet, will she survive? What happens if she does?
What makes this show so special and unique, is that it debates today’s biggest issues by showing both sides, informing the viewers and making us laugh. They do all of that by not being preachy, just informative. For example in the above promo, you hear Franco says, “Please don’t be Black,” Sofia (Diane Guerrero) say, “Please don’t be Latina,” and Fawz (Maz Jobrani) say, “Please don’t be Muslim.” And how many of were saying that yesterday when they heard about the heinous shooting in Texas? It is one moment that we all can understand. One moment that unites us, and this sitcom is brilliantly showing both sides. Something more people need to pay attention to because not everything is Republican or Democrat. Put down your phones, switch off your computers and turn on your TVs to watch Superior Donuts at 9p.
