However, shes been without it recently and her encounter with Diamondback pushed her over the edge.

At the beginning of the episode, shes in the morgue talking to Cornells corpse.

Its episodes like this that make it easy to letLuke Cages general unevenness slide.

However, the show takes that up a notch in a very stirring scene in this episode.

After narrowly escaping Diamondback, Luke Cage finds himself wounded and limping through the city.

Yes, theres an APB out for Luke Cage, but they stop him even before they recognize him.

However, once the cops recognize him, the show goes back into superhero mode.

Whats interesting, though, is thatLuke Cagealso makes sure to show compassion for police officers.

(Unfortunately, the only clip that goes viral is Luke tossing the cop).

People hate us until they need us, and I hate that.

But, I love it, too, she says.

Some science mumbo jumbo later and they end up dipping his body in a vat of acid.

The episode ends with Luke going into cardiac arrest.
