Cockroach will need an MRI.
but not before Misty arrives on the scene.
Turns out, Claire called her.
And now the incident is on the record.
Ridenhours officially looking to shut down your vigilante bit, she tells Luke.
As far as shes concerned, Nigel and Cockroach are her problems now.
But in a small victory for Luke, Misty lets him leave the apartment unencumbered.
Shes still reconciling with Scarfes actions from last season.
Mistys supervisor likens her to Private Ryan they cant let anything happen to her.
And shell spend the next few episodes figuring out what kind of herosheneeds to be.
In the meantime, we head across town to check in on Bushmaster whos still settling into the city.
When hes approached by his associate, Sheldon, they talk about Bushmasters plans for New York.
Hes back in town for Mariah, but this doesnt change the fact that hes perturbed by Luke.
As Bushmaster puts it, Im vex me cuz im exist.
Hes opposed to Luke, it seems, on a philosophical ground.
Hes even got a leak in her operation, by way of Sheldon.
Luke is just a portion of a package deal.
So naturally, we have to check in on Mariahs part of town.
We get a shot of Tilda playing the piano, just like Cornell used to!
Shes walked in on by her mother, who informs her that she has that thing.
The two go back and forth about the dark corners in their family.
Mariah tells her daughter that its time to move past all of that.
The next time we see Luke, its at the barbershop.
They argue, again, about who was in the wrong with Cockroach.
Luke feels that Claire shouldnt have the cops on him.
Claire feels that Luke was out of control.
And while Lukes in pursuit of Bushmaster, Bushmasters cutting deals with Shades on behalf of Nigel.
For the first time this season, we catch site of Mariahs assistant (!
), and also Billie in action.
And like that, everything else unravels for Tilda.
She sees that Mariah isnt really out of the life.
And while she doesnt entirely reject her mother, its clear that the distance is still there.
The bridge between them wont be easily crossed.
But thats not to say that every relationship here is on the outs.
Turns out, she and Misty kept in touch!
Turns out, theyre boxing together.
But it isnt happening!
Because Luke Cage is still literally bulletproof!
And Luke leaves the scene entirely unscathed, but not before we see that Bushmaster taped the whole battle.
We catch of a moment or two of him replicating Lukes movements onscreen,a la Kiryu.
And it looks like Bushmaster, for what its worth, will be having another go at Cage soon.
While Lukes on one side of town, Claire on another in his fathers church.
She listens to a sermon, and afterward, sits down with the reverend.
Claire tells Luke that she down with him sodown but he has to be smart about what hes doing.
He cant enjoying stepping on the people around him.
And also, he isnt taking responsibility.
If anything, hes become like the ogres he is so intent on defeating.
Which turns out to be final straw: Claire tells Luke she needs space.
