Marvel's The Defenders: 23 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

7. "Just Like Old Times"

In the final episode, we get to see some flirting between Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, who were the first Cage hook-up back in Jones' own stand-alone series. There's mention of old time's sake, and a definite sense that both regret they way they left their relationship, even though Luke is now with Claire.

Their flirting is of course a hint that they will end up together, just as they did in the comics - where they are married and have a child, Danielle. As a nice touch, in the comics, Luke and Jessica split up around the time of Civil War and get back together later before marrying. As nice as Claire is, it would be better to see Luke and Jessica together and her sent off to become White Tiger.

If you didn't catch that hint, Jessica's hope for coffee (which is clearly what Luke calls his penis) should have wrapped a bow on it.
