When is Amenadiel going to learn?

Amenadiel's interference not only caused death,but also wreaked havoc for everyone involved. Trixie could have died from his so called "good intentions" and he has shown to be as much if not more petulant and selfish then Lucifer. If that wasn't enough he is also arrogant,but I still like him.
Also lets leave the bible out of it.
imperfection is an altogether attainable human goal, and love is acceptance of imperfections. -

Yeah, I like him a lot too. I just want to shake some sense into him. Same way I want to shake some sense into Luci, sometimes.
It especially bummed me out how his pride prevented him from connecting with Maze when he clearly wanted to and I think she was hoping he would. I think she could offer him some guidance too. Sure he was feeling rejected and covered that up with a cavalier attitude, but if he could be honest, he wouldn't have blown his chance with her so completely. But I don't hold him responsible for this, he's only learning to deal with feelings. He's just being a big lug and I want to whack him upside the head sometimes.
Besides, their split provides romantic tension which is always better in a story than actual romance.

Excellent point. And interesting, because all the angels think they're so superior to humans, and yet, other than their strength and powers, they're just as fallible as the rest of us. And they're all proud, not just Lucifer.
Lucifer actually seems to be a bit more interested in how humans think than his brethren, and is more sensitive to their feelings. You can see lots of examples of it. Like when he tells Linda that in his experience, women don't like when men punch holes through things. After having sent her flowers and chocolates to apologize. There are actually lots of examples of him figuring out how humans work and acting accordingly, right along with all the ones where he doesn't. Like when he offers the grieving boyfriend "another song". lolthat's the clueless Lucifer we can't help but love.

Sadly I think its all part of the learning curve and let's face it both Lucifer and Amenadiel are a bit damaged by the actions of their parents.
Added note: Lucifer spilled the beans in season 1 about his mortality and Amenadeil immediately took advantage of it. So why did Luci again spill the beans with the blood sample to Amenadiel? Lucifer trusts his brother and Amenadiel uses that trust against him-although Lucifer didn't seem upset this time. Luci also needs to learn not to give trust unless it is earned. Granted Amenadiel did save Lucifer in Season 1 after his own bad action really sank in. -

This is very true, neither one of them have come out of that family entirely unscathed or emotionally stable.
Lucifer doesn't lie. And our TV Lucifer has no filter. But it's crazy that he'd tell Amenadiel, considering how sneaky the dude was, right up until two days ago!
If this Lucifer is anything like the comic Lucifer, then he knows exactly what he's doing, and he's actually setting Amenadiel up. But that's hard to say, seems the writers go back and forth with TV Lucifer, sometimes making him incredibly naive, and other times, quite cunning. His childlike qualities make him highly entertaining, but I do hope, as the series continues, that we get to see more of Lucifer's cunning and a little less of his blundering. The real (comic) Lucifer doesn't blunder. He's too smart.

ITA in many ways he's like an innocent child - sometimes just not thinking it through. I also agree that he should be more cunning especially with the bad guys (one of my fav moments -epi 7 I think was with the auction guy when he growled "they are mine' he was quite menancing but I love the vulnerably emotionally scarred version as well - he still has a ways to go and that makes it so entertaining.
Just saw the new promo for next week - looks like something is seriously wrong with Amenadiel's wings - maybe he'll be too busy with his own humanity to interfere further with Luci's. -

Great point about the wings. I noticed them but then forgot, but that's probably why Amenadiel's so upset in that scene. And yes, one would hope he learns to stay out of Lucifer's business, but I'm guessing he won't; he just doesn't seem to easily understand that the consequences he experiences are a result of his own actions.
