Luke’s actions have led to some legal issues as he was served at the end of the episode. We begin the episode with him in some legal issues after what he did to Cockroach. And, it’s pay up time or he’s going to court. The episode circles back to the discussions earlier in the season where there was discussion that being a superhero didn’t pay. What is he to do? Luke has to make some tough decisions in this episode and decide if he wants to profit off of his abilities. All of that leads to some interesting, and comedic moments, but also feels like it’s Luke at his lowest. The man is no longer on top and needs to face reality. This also leads to an end of the episode that turns the character into a circus act.

Revolving all around that is Mariah and the corruption of the police force. Some convictions have been vacated and criminals are on the street and the police force itself seems like it may be up to old habits to get some of them back in to jail. Mariah comes clean to her daughter who I can’t tell is actually unaware of her family’s issues or just in denial.

But, what’s most interesting is that this episode creates strange bed fellows. Bushmaster is after both Luke and Mariah and Shades and Luke bump into each other with some moments between them foreshadowing what’s to come, the inevitable team up of Shades, Mariah, and Luke against Bushmaster.

And that’s an issue with this season, it foreshadows everything. Every episode telegraphs what’s to come in a future one. There’s little surprise and instead of doing that and then not delivering and delivering a twist, instead we’re presented with exactly what we’d expect.

The season seems to be on a rather predictable trajectory. While it’s not bad, it’s also not as fresh as the first. Still, it’s one of the better second seasons for a Marvel Netflix show so far.
