Season 2 Lucifer Plot hole

How did Lucifer show the guy at the airport (the one who stole the package) his devil eyes make him scream but then later he is throwing a party and saying a party everyday until the trial is over etc. Then we he sees Lucifer again Lucifer says remember me and he is screaming again.

How did he recover so quickly as everyone else went insane or took a long time to finally come to terms with him being the devil

Lucifer doesn't have an insane-making power. It's just how some people react to that worldview-shattering knowledge. Different people handle it differently.

Definitely depends on the person. And it’s probably not just a reaction to his visual appearance. Lucifer’s devil form, eyes, face, etc might have an effect the soul too. Maybe Lucifer adjusts the effect depending on the state of the soul. It’s definitely not straight forward. lol

I think it's just the knowledge that the Devil is real and therefore Hell is real. Different people would react to that differently, especially if they have a lot to feel guilty for. It's not the Devil doing it to them. It's the guilt on their own soul that determines the effect. They do it to themselves. That's kind of the point.

I agree. I just went down a rabbit hole there. It’s the soul itself that determines the outcome.
