Luke Cage Season 1: 13 Best Moments
6. Dillard Goes Free (Episode 13: You Know My Steez)
In a moment that was at once frustrating and dramatically satisfying, Mariah Dillard managed to escape charges for murdering Cottonmouth by having Shades steal Misty's phone at an opportune moment to assassinate a key witness, Candace.
Without her testimony, the remaining evidence crumbles apart, and so the police have no choice but to let Dillard go - something she can't help but be rather smug about. To rub salt in the wound, she also reneges on giving Luke a file containing important information about his past.
This of course sets her up to be the primary threat in season two, and given the absolutely fantastic performance Alfre Woodward gave in the part, that's truly something to look forward to.
