In the aftermath of Luke Cage(Mike Colter)’s intervention to save CJ and his mum from Cockroach (Dorian Missick), Luke’s brutality and single-mindedness is challenged by both Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) and Misty Knight (Simone Missick). As Luke feels castrated and talked at, he continues to pursue his leads in his fight against Mariah Dillard (Alfre Woodard) and Shades (Theo Rossi). In the Yardies back yard he encounters a new boss, Bushmaster (Mustafa Shakir), at the head of the Brooklyn Jamaican gang and seemingly stamps his authority over this new threat to Harlem. Elsewhere Mariah continues to heal the rift with her daughter Tilda Dillard (Gabrielle Dennis) with the launch of her “Family First” programme in Harlem. At the same time she launches her move to riches and legitimacy with the Atreus Plastics deal. Misty still feeling the pressure at the precinct connects with Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) at the Dojo and over a drink; regaining her swagger with a fine left hook as she defends herself against a violent group in the bar intent on revenge. Cockroaches beating and hospitalisation strains Claire and Luke’s relationship to breaking point. An argument between them both exposes fundamental differences and Claire asks Luke to leave her apartment. With Luke reeling from his fight with Claire, he is left reeling again this time from a punch as Bushmaster delivers a message straight to the heart of Harlem and his yard!
