Tricia Helfer on Mom in LUCIFER S2: “There’s more to her agenda”

At the end of LUCIFER’s Season 2 premiere, after Luci spent the episode looking for dear old escaped-from-Hell Mummy, assuming she was sending him message after message about the havoc she intends to rain down on him, a battered Tricia Helfer crawled into his loft and collapsed in his arms.

When we caught up with Drew Powell (Butch Gilzean, GOTHAM) at San Diego Comic Con, he told us that he finds himself back with Penguin when S3 takes off tonight on FOX. They’re “up to no good, as usual.” The character seems to always find a way to get out of his jams, sometimes with hands and sometimes without! Drew also said that sad-sack lovelorn Butch is back – Tabitha really did a number on his heart, and he has to deal with that. Looking forward to a new battle we can expect this season.
