Luke Cage Season 2 Episode 6 Review Podcast "The Basement" Spoiler filled Synopsis

Directed by Millicent Shelton

Written by Aïda Mashaka Croal


After the decapitations and shootout the streets of Harlem are hot as the Stylers desperately scour the neighbourhood for Raymond “Piranha” Jones (Chaz Lamar Shepherd) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter). Shades (Theo Rossi) and Comanche (Thomas Q. Jones) also go on the offensive to try and find Piranha and Luke before Bushmasters men. As they wait at Pop’s for them to return their conversation turns to prison and their relationship inside, and Comanche proclaiming he believes that Shades should make a play for the crown of Harlem. As Luke and Piranha lay low in an abandoned theatre, Luke asks Piranha to explain everything about his involvement with Mariah Dillard (Alfre Woodard), but talk soon moves onto something more personal as the two men talk about their fathers. Despite insisting he will involve the police Luke instead decides to take Piranha to his father’s church for protection. Meanwhile, despite a shared past Mariah Dillard refuses to cooperate with Captain Ridenhour (Peter Jay Fernandez) as everyone races to connect the dots between Piranha, Mariah, Bushmaster (Mustafa Shakir) and the grisly find at the clinic. However, Ridenhour soon has a confession thrust upon him from Misty Knight (Simone Missick) as she explains her attempt to frame the deceased Cockroach (Dorian Missick). Unsure of whether the police can any longer deliver justice Misty hands in her badge. With Piranha safe Luke faces Bushmaster. As the two fight Luke begins to get the upper hand over his rival until Bushmaster uses some old school magic to place Luke in mortal danger.
