Luke is shaken by the aftermath at the Jamaican restaurant. He and Misty look over the scene with the numerous victims but discover a blood trail which implies that there may have been a survivor from the scene whom they'll need to find quickly or they'll be found and killed by the parties involved.

A flashback shows Bushmaster as a boy working at a resort. He hears a meeting between Mariah and his mother Gwen. They are arguing over a business deal that took place between his father, Quincy McIver, and Samuel "Buggy" Stokes. The deal they struck soured in the 1980s and lead to both of their deaths. Following these events, Gwen is trying to use the Stokes family for what she believes is her rightful ownership of a portion of Harlem's Paradise.

Ingrid is Bushmaster's sister and was shown to have checked in at the restaurant with her work card but wasn't found among the bodies which means she is likely the witness they are looking for.

Luke helps her get out safely through the parade.

Two years after Bushmaster survived the attack on his family home, Pete Stokes tracked him down and shot him twice. Paul Mackintosh who was known as Anansi back in Jamaica brought Bushmaster back to his mother who healed him using nightshade. In the present, Bushmaster's associate orders Tilda to use nightshade to save him again. It's implied that the nightshade amplified an already existing strength within him. Ingrid shares this story with Luke, claiming that the two of them are similar. But Luke sees Bushmaster as evil despite Ingrid's insistence that Bushmaster also tries to fight evil. Ingrid begs Luke to get her to see her husband's body while Luke texts Misty to let her know that he has found Ingrid.

The season nears its end and Luke and Stryker must have their final confrontation. But first, we get the deeper insight into the origins of their conflict. In a series of flashbacks, their early relationship is presented. A young Luke (still 'Carl' at this time) is trained by Stryker to become a boxer. Stryker continued to coach Luke until he won an important boxing match.

In the present, Luke and Stryker are still in the barbershop fighting in an even match due to Stryker donning this superset that enhances his strength and invulnerability by a considerable amount. Mariah and Shades have fled the shop and Mariah is determined to not be caught by Misty, whom she knows is determined to bring her in. The fight between Luke and Stryker spills into the streets and some of the locals come out to cheer Luke on, from a safe distance of course. Stryker resents Luke for the fact that Luke's father was going to leave Luke's mother for Stryker's mother but didn't. Law enforcement arrives and work to intervene in the fight while Misty watches everything unfolding and Mariah addresses the gathered media.

Claire coaches Luke from afar to remember who he is, when Luke is struggling to fair well in the fight. The neighborhood begins to chant Luke's name and encourage him on. He is encouraged to fight on and manages to knock Stryker out after the suit's power system fails. Misty proceeds to arrest Mariah for the murder of Stokes. In the commotion, Misty has lost her phone. Shades had retrieved the phone and uses it to lure Candace out from hiding at Soledad's place. Shades kills Candace in order to prevent her from testifying against Mariah. Nothing else is left to prove Mariah's guilt and so she has to be released from custody. Misty is reprimanded by Inspector Ridley for keeping Candace at a private location instead of in official protective custody.

Luke brings himself to the station to give his statement and clarify things about his true identity and past. They can prove that Luke didn't kill the people he was framed of. But federal marshals still arrive and arrest him for escaping from Seagate. Luke and Claire share a passionate kiss before he is taken away, and she promises to call a skilled lawyer she knows in order to help get him released.

Mariah had lost the files she had that would exonerate Luke by proving that Stryker had orchestrated the original crime he was framed for. But when Fish returns to the barbershop, he finds the files there. Mariah reopens Harlem's Paradise with Shades working closely by her side. Misty resumes her undercover work to try to bring Mariah down. Claire contemplates taking up self-defense lessons, seeing them as important to her survival in the battles to come. Stryker is still being treated in the hospital, and Burstein enters him room, perhaps to run some more experiments with the recovered research.

The officer had his hair cut by Pops for twelve years and hopes that Pop was right about him before letting him go and tells him to catch Stryker and stop him, adding that many people in the neighborhood are still rooting for him.

Misty is holding steady, despite her injuries, and works hard to prove Luke's innocence. She speaks with Candace, who calls her on a prepare phone and is willing to recant her testimony against Luke, especially after he saved her life at the club when Stryker threw her off the balcony. Misty meets with Candace, who reveals the truth about the night Stokes died and Misty records her statement on her phone. She is willing to testify against Mariah but only if she can be offered protection, fearing for her life after the murder of Stokes. Shades was the one that offered to pay her $50,000 if she testified against Luke. Candace fears Mariah more than Stokes ever did. Misty brings Candace to Soledad's to hide out for the time being.

Luke interrupts a robbery and remains unphased by the shots the robber fires off at him. He swaps hoodies with one of the customers, Method Man, who is more than happy to help him out and have such an impressive souvenir in return. Luke uses the phone and the shopkeeper tells Luke there are many that would be willing to pay him for that kind of protection but Luke assures him that he doesn't require any payment for helping. Method Man goes on to speak on Sway's radio show and share about what Luke has done and the broadcast pick up traction so even more of the public begins to believe that Luke is innocent and a true hero. The police remain determined to find Luke but the Harlem locals all resent their presence on the streets. More people begin to wear hoodies with holes as a sign of solidarity with Luke.

Inspector Ridley interrogates Shades but he won't say anything about Stryker or otherwise, simply demanding a lawyer each time he is asked a question. Stryker pays to get Shades released on bail and has his men led by Zip bring him to a warehouse. The men attack Shades in an elevator, having been ordered to kill him, but Shades fights back and manages to kill them all and escape. Stryker calls Mariah and informs her that he killed Boone and Shades because they were holding her back and she responds that she is focusing her efforts on Harlem's Renaissance project. He emerges, having been hidden in her house, and offers a sizable sum of money for her to use on her latest endeavors in exchange for her swearing loyalty to him. Stryker says he'll be leaving after he'd killed Luke but promises to return from time to time moving forward.

Luke tracks down Barrett, who has been working for Stryker, and forces him to reveal where he is before locking him in a dumpster. Colon and his men attack Stryker and all his mercenaries he has brought with him. There is an extended shoot-out but Stryker is able to escape into a side room where he has a bomb hidden. He arms it at leaves. Luke gets there in time to get Colon out of the building before it explodes and Colon warns that Diamondback used something he'd never seen before and not even Luke will be able to stop him.

Shades visits Mariah and turns over a champagne bottle he had kept that had her prints on it as well as Stokes' blood. It's the only leverage he had on her but is prepared to swear loyalty to her and proposes that they work together. Shades proposes they work with Luke long enough to defeat Stryker, even revealing the files he absconded on Stryker. Mariah notes that if Luke and Stryker take each other out, then that would solve even more of their problems. Shades admits he had gone to the club that night to kill Stokes but Mariah beat him to it.

Luke meets with Misty and gives her information on his investigation of Stryker. He also suggests he question Barrett to get more on Stryker. Mariah and Shades arrive at Pop's shop to parley with Luke. He does not like the idea of working with them, and is prepared to get violent with them but Mariah is offering a truce. She has the files on Stryker that will prove that he was the one to frame Carl Lucas and will give up his location so long as he lets go of his grudge against them. Mariah swears to tell the truth about how Luke didn't kill Stokes. Misty emerge from the back, having followed Luke there and gets into a stand-off with Shades. Misty wants to arrest Mariah and demands Shade reveal what he knows about Stryker's whereabouts. Stryker attacks the shop in a new power-suit that gives him the strength and invulnerability to be evenly matched against Luke. The two begin to fight after Luke tells Misty to go after Shades and Mariah, who have fled the shop.

Luke, Claire, and Misty are all hiding in the club from Stryker, Shades, and the mercenaries. Luke carries Misty back to the kitchen, shielding her from the gunfire with his body. Claire however is captured and brought to Stryker. Luke blocks the door with a large fridge. Shades believes the best course of action is to flee before the cops arrive but Styrker won't leave. Shades reminds him that he only has one Judas bullet left but Stryker doesn't seem particularly worried. Luke knows about some secret tunnels so he takes a rapidly bleeding Misty down into the basement so she can sit there in safety before the mercenaries get into the kitchen. Stryker is holding everyone inside the club hostage, including the worker Candace that gave the false testimony against Luke. Shades feels strongly that Stryker is behaving irrationally but Stryker is not interested in taking Shades' advice. Stryker is determined to kill Luke and turn the public against him, as the media have gathered outside.

Stryker gets a false narrative out to the law enforcement that Luke is holding everyone hostage. Inspector Ridley maintains an unwavering level-headedness and thus will not authorise an assault on the club when there is so little information on the matter. She gets a call from Misty but they aren't able to communicate because of the poor signal from the basement. Misty encourages Luke to get back upstairs but Luke doesn't want to leave her alone in such an unstable medical state. Claire learns about the basement from Candace after tending to her wound. She's able to slip away and get into the basement where she begins treating Misty's injury.

Luke leaves the basement to confront Stryker, who had demanded he come and meet by threatening to kill the hostages over the loudspeakers. Stryker has Mariah's fellow party member Boone hostage in the main office where he is waiting for Luke. He shares about how the tragedies in his life that sent him spiraling on this path of vengeance against Luke. Stryker then kills Boone and throws him outside to make it seem like Luke killed him.

Shades finds the secret entrance in the kitchen that leads down to the basement. When he reaches it, he attacks Claire and Misty, who are able to work together to beat him in the fight and knock him out.

After the death of Boone, Inspector Ridley can't stop the tactical teams from arming themselves to storm into the club to try to stop Luke even though she still believes he may be innocent. Luke is able to knock out the other guards and free the hostages but after they walk out, he is confronted by Stryker, who has taken Candace as his own personal hostage. He throws Candace off the balcony but Luke is able to catch and shield her from Stryker's latest attempt to shoot him with the Judas bullet. Stryker escapes while the SWAT team break into the club. Candace apologised to Luke, but it appears to be too little, too late. Stryker gets away with some henchmen while Luke, Alvarez, and other mercenaries left at the club are arrested.

Misty is wheeled out to be put into an ambulance but before she is loaded into it, she insists to Inspector Ridley that Luke Cage is innocent.  She gives the name Stryker/"Diamondback" and Ridley tells her to heal while the rest of them will take care of things. Misty refuses to be taken to the hospital, saying that she needs to stay put at the scene to make sure Luke is let off.

Luke has gone into cardiac arrest due to his being in the vat of acid. Claire's quick thinking saves him when she shocks him back into a regular heartbeat. They neutralize the pH of the solution and Claire then realises that they need to turn up the heat of the solution since it may have been the heat of the explosion that made the reaction work when Luke gained his abilities. Once the heat is high enough, Claire is able to dig into Luke's wounds and dig out the pieces of shrapnel. She has to work fast so Luke's vitals don't stay at a critical level but in the end, Luke is saved and can begin to heal properly.

Stryker is determined and lacking in patience in regards to selling the Judas bullets to police officers. Mariah doesn't believe that he can start selling them just yet until she can convince the law enforcement and public of the necessity for them. Stryker then kills a police officer and frames Luke for it in order to hasten the turning of public opinion against him. Misty Knight is the only one in law enforcement that is rightfully suspicious of the theory that Luke killed the officer but is unable to stop others from buying into the propaganda.

Luke and Claire investigate further into what Burstein claimed about him having already been chosen to take part in the experiment before it was necessary to save his life. Upon digging through the files on the drive they discover that Reva was the one that had chosen Luke to take part. Luke feels deeply betrayed and saddened by this revelation. He then threatens Burstein with violence if he ever dares to attempt to replicate the experiment in any way. Burstein tries to plead with Claire to make Luke see that it should continue but she warns him that if he had done such a thing to her, she would have killed him. She then leaves with Luke but Burstein is revealed to still have a copy of the data even though Luke and Claire had left with the drive.

The police grow increasingly aggressive and violent in terrorizing the neighborhood in their efforts to find Luke. The tensions escalate until a detective badly beats an innocent teenage boy. Mariah uses this incident to turn the media and public back to her side. She makes speeches and statements about police brutality while also reiterating that Luke must be caught and stopped. She holds a ceremony in Harlem's Paradise to benefit the boy and show her support - all for publicity and as part of her political scheming. At the ceremony, she reiterates that Luke Cage is to blame and declares that the police need to arm themselves against him. However, another member of her party, Damon Boone, discretely tells her that he knows the truth about what has transpired. Misty is also at the event and attempts to arrest Stryker but he shoots her, causing the party to be broken up in chaos. Luke intervenes and saves her from further gunshot that would have killed her. He continues to shield her when mercenaries open fire in their direction and continues to try to save her. He jumps down from the second-story balcony and runs with Misty still in his arms and ducks down beneath the bar to get some coverage.

Luke pulls himself out of the truck and tries to get to safety but is confronted by some police officers that try to hold him up at gunpoint.  When one tries to arrest him, Luke knocks the man out. When the other officer begins shooting, Luke shields the unconscious officer from bullets, knowing that these shots won't hurt him. He then knocks the other officer out and lays both gently on the sidewalk before getting away in the squad car.

Stryker heads to the club and blames Shades for Stokes dying. Shades later visits Mariah at the morgue where she is expressing remorse for things ending so violently with Stokes. Mariah then meets with Colon and convinces him to organise a meeting for all the local crime bosses to get together.

Luke drives to meet with Claire, who determines that the best course of action to treating his injuries is to find Burstein, the doctor whose experiments gave Luke his abilities. They have brought along the jump drive that contains all the data from the experiments and this gives Burstein the information needed in order to start up his experiment again. He has the machinery in his barn that has stayed untouched since the prison breakout. Luke learns that even though Reva had begged Burstein to save him, Luke was still tapped to be a part of the experiments regardless. They must first get a blood sample from Luke in order to cross-check it with Reva's findings and they are only able to get it through Claire's quick-thinking so they decide to go through the mucas membrane at the back of Luke's throat.

Mariah and Shades attend the meeting with the crime bosses but Stryker shows up to crash the gathering and kills every additional crime boss present with the exception of Colon. Mariah is able to appease Stryker's anger at their going behind his back by revealing how the dash cam footage of Luke fighting the police officers has been circulated to the public and worsened his stance in public opinion. Stryker will now have the opportunity to sell more Judas bullets directly to the NYPD.

Burstein determines that the best option to try to treat Luke is to submerge him in the tank similar to how he was when he first gained his abilities but the tank will be filled with acid. The hope is that this will soften his skin just enough to allow them to be able to remove the shrapnel from his body. Unfortunately, the pain of doing this sends Luke into cardiac arrest.

While performing an ultrasounds, Claire finds that there is no bullet but only shrapnel in his abdomen. Misty calls them to say that Luke needs to come in and answer quests about Stokes' death but Luke simply tells Claire to shut down the call before they can be traced.
