Lucifer's Lesley-Ann Brandt Talks Mazikeen And Linda's Friendship

The second season of Lucifer really picked up speed, and the third looks to keep that going. But one of the interesting aspects of the series has been the more subtle friendship between Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) and Dr. Linda Martin (Rachel Harris).

Martin was originally brought in when Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and Detective Decker (Lauren German) had to talk to her about a case. Martin was fully under Lucifer's charm and he returned later to exchange sex for therapy. The sex part would fade, but he would continue seeing Dr. Martin, while she took his reference to being the Devil as a metaphor. She also struck up a friendship with Mazi.

At one point, Lucifer decides he needs Linda to fully understand who he is, so he reveals his true form to her and that changes everything. She now realized that her friend Mazi was really a demon, as she had been told. Her whole world went insane, and she tried to push all of it out. But Mazi wasn't giving up on the one friend she had made on Earth, and kept trying until Linda saw that she was still same Mazi that she became friends with in the first place.

Actress Brandt sits down in the video below and talks about that relationship and the positive response she received for how it was played out on screen by the LGBTQ community. Many people wrote in to tell her how much the scene reminded them of their own coming out and how regardless of their sexual preference, they're still the same person.

Lucifer returns October 2nd on Fox.
