Ep 25. Boo Normal

Lucifer season 3 episode 25, titled "Boo Normal," centers around a young girl named Brianna who, after experiencing a near-death experience, can now see ghosts. Her parents, unsure of how to handle the situation, turn to Dr. Linda for help. Meanwhile, Lucifer and Ella investigate the death of an ax-wielding, drunken ghost named Stuart, who may have a connection to Brianna's ability to see spirits. As the investigation progresses, Lucifer starts to question his own understanding of ghosts and the afterlife.

The episode is a departure from the usual crime-solving formula of the show and instead focuses on the supernatural element of the show's universe. Brianna's story is heartwarming and emotional, as she struggles to come to terms with her new ability and is repeatedly told by those around her that she's "crazy." Her parents also provide an interesting dynamic, as they have opposing views on how to handle their daughter's gift.

Dr. Linda plays a crucial role in the storyline, as she tries to help Brianna understand and control her ability. Her scenes with Brianna are some of the episode's best, as she exudes warmth and empathy, providing a sense of stability for the young girl.

Lucifer and Ella's investigation is also an intriguing subplot, as they work to solve the mystery of Stuart's death. The episode does an excellent job of blending humor into their investigation, particularly in the scenes where they question potential suspects, who are all ghosts. Lucifer's initial skepticism of Brianna's gift is challenged by the end of the episode, leading to a more nuanced understanding of the supernatural.

Overall, "Boo Normal" is a refreshing change of pace for the show, providing a more introspective and emotional look at the supernatural elements of the show's universe. The episode provides a showcase for new character dynamics and further fleshes out the show's mythology in a compelling way.
