It’s not Lucifer, it’s his twin brother Michael. He is furious about the praises Lucifer is getting in the Silver City for going back to Hell and decided to go on Earth to play with his brother’s friends and destroy his life. Michael realizes, after spending time with all of Lucifer’s friends and especially with Chloe, that he doesn’t want to ruin Lucifer’s life, he wants to steal it.
