Marvel's Iron Fist: 44 Easter Eggs & Reference You Must See

22. Luke's Letter

The Defenders Luke Cage
Netflix/EW

Last we saw of Luke Cage, he was being carted back off to jail having been told he still had time to serve on his original jail term. He'll be out in time for The Defenders (presumably lawfully, because there's no way they'd allow him to escape again, right?) but in the mean time he's still in communication with his lady love Claire.

At the beginning of Episode 8, Claire is seen reading a letter whose envelope reads "uncensored inmate mail" and carries the name Lucas in the top left. That's obviously from Cage, who has written...

"...use those shoes to walk straight to you.What else have you been up to? How's the martial arts training going. You really want to spar with me? You've seen what I can do, right? (smile). I throw a few at you, but it wouldn't be a fair fight. You could knock me out with just a smile. A kiss? I'm dead.Some wisdom from prison..."

...according to Reddit.
